crutch

General
Okay so I took the first chunk of commissions and with the upcoming weekend free I'll prolly have most of them done by this time next week so I'll let folk know when I pick the next ten. Huzzah.
I'm feeling pretty motivated at the moment so have jumped on trying to get healthy again. I've got a date in mind on the 17th of November. It's my sister's fortieth birthday and I am off to Edinburgh for that weekend to celebrate with my sisters.
I've never done that. Like....ever. it just being me and my sisters. So I have 4 months to drop some weight and generally get motivated to feel good about myself. I can probably easily drop 20lb in that time...truthfully knowing me when I get motivated I can probably drop double that (and did exactly that a few years ago before my own fortieth birthday. So yeah getting serious about this again whilst I have time and inclination.
I'm telling you lot as a sort of crutch. Often I keep ideas in my head, promise myself I'll do something and then not do it but no one else knows I failed because no one knew anything about the idea. So if I say it out loud that I plan to loose a bunch of weight, then I kinda have to do it. See. Solid plan.
I also played the new final fantasy and felt conflicted. The story is one of the more solid stories and character development was great. It all looked soo pretty. But where was the fricking loot, and what's the point of monster spoils if there's nothing to craft with them???? Now that's finished I had to start playing assassin's creed Valhalla just to get the looting/pillaging/crafting need in me fixed. Seriously I've never played a final fantasy that was so sparse on any form of levelling up grind etc...which is why I love those games. So felt really sadly hollow to me. But I'm sure there are others out there who are glad all that's gone. But yeah back to vikinging for me.

And I hope you have fun with your sisters. I for one adore Edinburgh, and Scotland in general
I loved the new FF in terms of being more story driven and the fighting was just fun. I'm not mad on side quests but I feel like it was missing some goof off scenes (like get off the mission for a second and have a piss up in the hideaway gang), and some mini games? But Clive is my daddy now btw.
Note, doing the above is a VERY VERY VERY BAD IDEA!
Maybe the real treasure was all the duct tape and copper pipe we picked up along the way.
Don't binge diet so much that it affects your health, though. Getting fit to maintain a healthier lifestyle is a great goal. Dumping 40 lbs to show off to people you haven't seen in a while can be dangerous.
I've not played the game, is the monster loot just junk you sell? Some games decide that's more 'realistic' than random wildlife just dropping money, so instead you need to collect pelts and horns and stuff like that to sell.
hi :)
