NO 2024 POST???

 I'll edit one in, this 3/31/2025. HAH!

 In the past week I finished... I mean, I got up to the credits of:

NieR Replicant, four times.  My thoughts on this?  Hmm.  It did not resonate with me as much as I thought it would.  Easily one of the better games out there though.  Something about objects having a soul. My brother does that and is a hoarder.  So, it's like encouraging me to become a hoarder too. 

Disco Elysium.  Yup, finally. I like the ending part with the creature thing. 

Letter Pending

 I did not follow up on my letter to my second grade teacher, whom I emailed back in October...

I will soon... 

I looked at my older posts... well...

30- The age of maturity?  I was playing Yakuza 7.  The guy's dad dies.  Later on in the year, my dad would have a stroke.  Life changed forever...? Nah, I still feel the same, I just have more to do nowadays...

31- I went back to school.  And I had my revenge.  I kinda had a send-off to video games, finishing Pokemon Arceus and Forgotten Land before turning 32. 

32- I finished school!  And I hung out with the girl who doesn't like me.  No connection whatsoever, terrible communication and we do not understand each other at all!  We hung out a total of 35 times at my house. 

 I still feel like a failure even after playing Disco Elysium. 

Moving on...

 I think I am moving on... 

To a life without video games.  Well, it's kinda "Mother 4".  Mother 4 is the life we actually live, right?  

I want to write publicly now.  I'm going to just lay everything out there.

Well, find me on Medium!

Nothing

 Nothing

So I think I did have a few good memories...

17.  I made everyone laugh in high school.  I would randomly laugh because I would think of the absurdity of life while reading in front to the class, and everyone else would start laughing.  I was also the best Teacher Cadet.

18.  It was fun walking around campus with Caroline.  Some dark stuff happened when I was 18.  I was addicted to Persona 3 and 4 though. 

19.  I guess hanging out with Kathleen was cool.  She laughed at me and understood my humor.

20.  I was getting over this one girl, but I had great memories as a tutor.  Randy and Chris were my students.  I got the tutor of the month award, on my first month! I also did CNA work with mah peeps!  That was fun. Patients thought I was a nice little boy.  And I had a little reunion with Sarah in an English class where I did a funny speech.  I was top comedian this year.  

21.  I was transitioning to University... but at the same time, I wanted to stay home to be with my MapleStory PvP team. I sort of experienced the dorm life, I hung out with Mike and his GF at the time.  So I did I have friends after all. ...and also, with the Maple PvP thing, I was the top Fire Mage, so I guess I was a popular video game player this year.

22.  This girl I thought I had a connection with ripped my heart out.  But I hung out with this other cool girl, Kiana.  I also went to this one theater thing and saw some cool people dancing with two cool girls from Japan.  I played basketball a lot... I shot a game winner, so that was cool.  I guess I was a master basketball player this year. 

23.  I read a lot of books.  I also met an online friend, first time meeting an exclusive online friend! I also hung out with Lisa a lot, she was cool.  I apprehensively sipped wine from the same glass as her! I also went to a restaurant with ... gasp, friends! So, I was.. top social butterfly this year. 

24.  I met one of my best online friends in person.  This was also the year where I finally rested, and achieved my life goal of doing nothing. I also wrote a little short story thing and a lot of people raised their hands and voted because they really liked what I wrote! So I was a master novelist this year. 

25.  I went on a road trip with my dad's family, I played MapleStory for pretty much the last time, and I said goodbye to this girl I held on for four years... so this year, I was master resilience man, since I lived. 

26.  I went to school for revenge!  And had a good time with it.  School was fun, finally.

27.  First time my family owned a new console since the PS2.  Kicked off with a Wii U, then an SNES Classic, then a PS4, and a Switch. It wasn't as great as I thought it would be, and I ended up finishing Dragon Quest VIII and Final Fantasy XII on the PS2 rather than playing the new systems. Though I did finally play the Xenoblade games.  Still doesn't match Chrono Trigger I guess, but Xenoblade X might be in my top ten.  I was also mentioned a lot by my Professor for my Cultural class, she always liked what I wrote in the Discussion Boards. 

28.  Pokemon year, did nothing, brain dead. I guess I passed the HESI and TEAS with high 80s, so I guess I can be academically competent. 

29.  Finally kind of asked a girl I actually like out! And we went out, like a lot, and I told her my feelings and stuff and she met my mom and went to my house.  It was cool lol. And social isolation finally because socially acceptable!

PEDS PEDS PEDS PEDS. 

Edit: So I looked at my previous post and I pretty much wrote the same thing, I guess the same memories just keep playing over and over.  Especially when I am entering The Third Decade. 

The Past Decade

So I probably actually did have a life and did things...

If only I took in the moment at the time though.  During these moments I was depressed, because of the ugly girl.

I turned 20, and watched a lot of Detective Conan.  I had a cool friend in Piano class, and I went back to tutoring kids.  I was into basketball a lot too, and experienced the Nursing Home.  It was there that I ruminated on death and life a lot.  Also, BLM. 

When I was 21... I went to university and played "competetive MapleStory."  MapleStory PvP.  I met a lot of people.  My life was moreso "online" than it was at university.  I wished I left my online life behind me before I started university. 

When I was 22, I met a cool girl and did some projects at her dormitory.  She was really cool.  We also went to Safeway.  Sometimes those little cherished moments are free. Most of the time, those little cherished moments are free.

When I was 23, I played basketball again and had a memorable game winner.  I took the BART and read lots of novels.  I went home and fooled around Twitch TV.  I also met another girl, and ate out in a restaurant with some friends, including her.  She was cool, but not as cool as the cool girl.  I had friends.  The last months of 23 were spent in SoCal, waiting. I aslo met an online friend for the first time.

When I was 24, I finished university and waited.   I had interesting professors.  My writing was acknowledged and people liked it.  I also met my "first love" in person.  I also spent a day with an online friend all day that summer. in AX. 

When I was 25, I celebrated my birthday with friends for the first time since high school. I traveled south, east, west, and north, with my dad.  A roadtrip.  I played MapleStory Reboot, probably my last time really dedicating myself to it. I also said goodbye to ugly girl.  And I watched a lot of idol stuff to get over her.

When I was 26, I went to school again.  I also got a new video game system.  The Wii U. It was also the first time I felt like a real member of society. I missed school when it was over.

When I was 27, I played a lot of video games.  I got a PS4 and Switch.  I watched a lot of YouTube.  My childhood best friend got married.  I met another online friend in person. I played a lot of Xenoblade 2. 

When I was 28, I watched and played a bunch of Pokemon. My interest in idol shows declined as well, and I think I got over ugly girl. My last month as a 28 year old was spent playing Persona 5.

When I was 29... I started Nursing School.  I went up to a girl I liked.  The girl I liked went to my house.  It was the first time a girl I liked went to my house. Video Games are also not as fun as I thought they would be.
