Posted 12 years agois better than a super long journal from months ago.
In interest of having fun, getting better, and shelter.
Posted 12 years agoA thing for over a year now is I haven't been playing many video games. I would get a few here and there and play them for an hour or so just to stay with the medium. Because I would hate to lose interest in something I've grown up with and have adored for so long. Many of what I picked up never lasted, as I said only an hour or so. However a few games did and they've stuck with me. An recently I've started to re-go over one of them because of how much I loved it the first time around, this game is Gravity Rush/Daze for the PS Vitamin.
So in following the order of the Journal title lets talk about it first, and the system itself. I got my PSvita around release for my birthday, a very nice friend shipped it to me from my wishlist. Getting the device itself was at least to say a shock, I never expected someone to buy it for me. An it has brought me far much more joy than I expected it to. The games for the device I've played being very welcoming and fun for it. Where as with the 3DS I've hit a few bumps in the road, its larger library containing some less than stellar games around that time. All the clutter making the gems harder to pick out.
The vita at the time having gem after gem. My personal gathering of games going in order Rayman origins, gravity rush/daze, MGS HD collection, Tales of Innocence R, Persona 4G, then getting PS+ for an over all better experience which has yet to go downward. It is possible I just kept hitting the jack pot with games though. I've heard here and there that quality isn't in everything on it.
Now for Gravity rush, this game came around a very dark time for me. I had been unable to find work, pressure from my mother pushing me to continuously look for work, the threat of being kicked out constantly looming over my head (which did eventually happen), and a lack of food driving me to pester friends for assistance. So when I did finally get around to playing it, the game was such a sweet scent of air for me that I was damn nearly hooked. The things I played before it not letting me relax the constant worry of never finding a job always in my head. Not for Gravity Rush, the moment I hit start from the menu I was mellowed out.
This is from the what the game is based around. Manipulation of gravity, the ability to fling the main character in any direction you please. Which happens to be the main way of getting around in the game. Launching her up into the air, deciding what way to head, and then going there. Flying through the air at which ever of the two speeds you please. For me who genuinely wants the ability to fly but has a crippling fear of heights. That single ability restricted only by a stamina gauge and locked away locations. Was the best thing in the world to me outside of my friends coming by to see me.
When ever I just couldn't take it I would turn the vita on, and spend hours flying around, exploring the locations I had unlocked. In doing so I found people to talk with that would remark on events going on in the game. Silly Side quest that were generic but were fun because of the environment you were in. An possibly the best thing I could have found is a couple, which after talked to vanish. The two skipping across the fabric of time to be encountered randomly (for the player at least) in each of the 4 cities.
They added to the fun of flying, and made each speech bubble worth checking out. Because then beyond getting a feel for the location, and having fun there I had a new objective. Finding that couple and finishing up their story.. Which sadly doesn't finish in gravity rush. Over all the big downside of the game is that it does end, and when it does nothing is tied up. Every end is left loose with tons more being added right before the end.
Which leads me to right now as I start a second play through in the game a year later. Taking my time even more to just have fun with the locations in the game. Finding more stuff I never noticed before, and ignoring the map feature so I only stumble across the story missions. Never directly head towards them. It has been far more enjoyable for some reason ignoring the map. I have no idea why either it is strange.
Anyway moving onto the interest of getting better. I've picked up paint tool sai as of june 13th, and have applied it to my new laptop. My old one being unable to run it, and my computer hardly able to stream with it. The results have been interesting for me at least. Things look better than I could have done in paint but they all feel off to me. Like things I didn't do it has been kind of bothersome.
I feel when I work in sai that something isn't right because to me it will look to good. An I'll back off asking "did I really do this?" to the point where a lot of what I do now gets canned. Sure back with paint stuff got canned but I more often than not saved wips and near completed projects to come back to later. So in effort to combat this and because many people say I have to do this if I want to be serious. This up coming check I will be buying a tablet to use with sai, suggestions are welcome. As I have no idea what to look for, a friend pointed me to http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Bamboo-.....s=Wacom+Cintiq
I wonder if there is a cheaper alternative or if I really need to pick up a tablet though? Is drawing with a mouse really that bad? The main wonder comes my pencil art being far better than my digital stuff. Which makes people point me to a tablet, but a tablet surface is much different from paper. So it is just a curious wonder if it will really be any help.
An finally in interest of shelter I have been looking around for apartments. Really just wanting to move out of this place. One of the kids here being a general dick about things. Losing my first 360 controller, eating the food I get, waking me up during the day when I work at night, taking stuff out of the room without asking, getting me blamed for eating food without actually doing much besides eating that food, and tons of other small things that just keep building up. An when I bring it up to the dude I just get blown off.
The other people are nice though. My roomie is cool, has had a few problems with me but I apologize and try to figure out what is wrong. I'm sure I don't do that often enough though, which has me worry some. The only real down side to the fellow is if I never know when he is being serious or making stuff up. An the lady I pay rent to is pretty nice. Only real problems with her is she does blame me when stuff goes missing or her door gets opened at odd times. An that she some times has memory derps where she won't remember things right. It isn't a big deal though since she has tons to deal with, which I respect her for.
She deals with my bullshit of driving me to work, and then trying to ring her up at 5 AM for a ride home. I haven't been paying for gas recently for the rides. It bothers me but current money things prevent me from being able to, I hope to though soon pay her back for the days I missed. She also deals with my music, and walking around at night, I'm rather heavy so my foot steps are loud and possibly shake the house xD. Outside of my stuff she deals with all the bills, the stuff the kid is doing, the stuff my roomie is doing, driving everyone places, and then dealing with her friend's stuff. She has alot going on and I respect her for standing through it all. It must be hell, and I ain't helping by being around :<
So that drives me to find another place to live at. My roomie may join me to depending on how they feel or if they can. Current apartment I'm looking at is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath, with a rent of 515$. Going to get in touch with the people soon to see about utilities, and an actual space there. If not there is a place close by that I've yet to get the rent cost for. Both places though are in good neighborhoods, have pools, are within walking distance of both jobs, near the mall/shopping center of town. Hopefully one of the places will pull through.
Through out all this though. My boyfriend has been the biggest help, and almost always been there for me. He is the best person I could have possibly asked to get together with. Even if I don't tell him this stuff personally, just being around him helps. An I'm sure dumping any of my troubles on him would just make him worry, which would worry me. He has to much to deal with without me being a burden. :)
Welp that is all for now. o_o sorry it is so long you didn't have to read that oh goodness me if you did I was just getting stuff out of my system. Thank you if you suffered through that grammar mess.

Free story stuff, and first actual journal.
Posted 13 years agoFirst off a writer fellow is doing a raffle here http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4089243/
Seond this is my first journal so I would like to put something of actual substance. Sadly though times don't call for anything to happy or perky so instead I'll talk about recent things I'm doing. Just got the PS3 back from a friend so got it hooked up, it took a moment because the RYW cable wasn't going for some reason. Thankfully the HDMI off a 360 worked fine. Aside from that I got playstation plus before everything went down so there were a couple of surprises waiting for me, one being the sony had sent me 20$ for something. I have no idea what.
Aside from that been doing kinda OK. No luck finding a job but I may soon be using the scanner here. Doing some commission stuff if I feel my skill is proper. Not much a journal but at least it is more than, FREE RAFFLE, GO HERE! XD
