¡Bueno!

 I am at a point I cannot sleep because of Umamusume. Save me. Someone save me from this horse girl hell. It's not a joke it's 5 am and I cannot stop. I want to train them and get better and man what a game. 

First off, Chapter 5 of the main story got released recently and it's the best one so far. I didn't care for Suzuka much before but she's in my top characters now. I'm rooting for SpeSuzu, pure wholesome yuri they deserve happiness with each other. (Got Spe soon after that finally from a 3* guaranteed ticket. Hoping for Suzuka next)

Ordered these 6 because I have adult money and can do with it whatever I want.

Dumb ass horse

And low and behold my first 1/7th of my daughter Maya. Let's pray I also get her when she comes out in game and can post them side by side.

My mind has been consumed by honse to the point I made jp account a few days ago. With how I barely started it I've been having way too much luck probably and now I'm not going to get shit on global is my prediction. Let's hope that's not the case and I get both valentine Bourbon and Eishin that come out in two days. It took me around 90 pulls to get Chiyo chiyo chiyo chiyono oooo but even then I have almost 8k saved up left. 

I can proudly say I'm addicted although recently since I've been more focused on my jp account I started neglecting my main which it still is despite being pretty shit. New scenario on JP dropped and I got both new supports at 1lb mostly from free pulls I will conquer this scenario and get UA. I really need to focus more on global though. I'm going to focus on training taiki for now both to get my first S (I've started to get A+ consistently) and for aquarius cup plus I still have yet to do my first career with Biwa and Kawakami princess. 

I think I might've slowed down a little on global also from the pressure I put myself under with deciding to start posting my runs. It's more for myself than anything to see in the future how much I have improved but they're still public and I have to sit down and focus to record without getting distracted doing other things or even listening something in the background. It's also pretty demotivating knowing how bad my account is with no good supports and I'm not even sure if getting an S is possible for me. 

As always I seem to get lucky on the account I care less about. Since starting I have gotten pretty much everything I wanted. A lot of currently used a lot mega SSRs although mostly 0lb but at least I got something to work on. And I've been lucky with umas as well  I'd say there are only 3 that I really wish I had (Tanino Gimlet, Transcend, Vivlos) but on Almond Eye's release I got what I regret missing on global the most. 

My daughter Maya came home I only pulled on Almond Eye because I wanted to get some umas nothing could've prepared me for this. 

Completely forgot I took some screenshots while rerolling. This is my only way of getting enough of her when I don't have her. We're probably going to get an uma selector during 5th anniversary I assume since I haven't experienced any anniversaries myself but that's what I hope for and I'll get her for sure just need to decide which outfit, both are strong contenders. 

And I pre-ordered another 1/7 scale uma. 

Burbon and Eishin aren't coming home, are they?

Higurashi Console Arcs Part 5

 Tokihogushi

I finished it a few days ago and honestly I already forgot what it was about. It's really obvious console arcs weren't written by Ryukishi. There have been a few interesting and fun ones (Shout-out to Yoigoshi for actually being original and interesting) but for the most part they're mehh. I can't exactly pin point what's wrong with them but it's really boring sometimes to get through I have to force myself to play. 

On top of that it feels like a fever dream most of the time. They don't always make sense due to how it cuts out chapters unchanged from the original and it's just bits and pieces of the full story. It's been quite some time since I played the original game so sometimes I really don't get what's happening and at what point in the story we are. I'll give them benefit of the doubt that it isn't that bad if you actually play console version of higurashi and I would rather not read the entirety of higurashi just to get a little bit of new console content but it doesn't feel like a great game on it's own due to how chaotic it reads. The more I play it the more I want to be done with it.

I thought connecting fragments had potential at first. Shorter, not long enough to disinterest me and I really liked this mechanic in the original and it was fun and rewarding at first but I got bored fast. First off I know it's the 07th mod patch and not fault of console arcs themselves but it doesn't actually work like connecting fragments and it's just a bunch of tips to read through in order. Good thing it didn't take me too much time. 

For now I'm planning on finishing last two Miotsukushi versions I have left and take a quick break before I get to the last three chapters and be done with Higurashi (at least visual novels) for good. In the meantime I finally got around to replaying Danganronpa 2 which is going to be my main focus after Miotsukushi. I'm balancing two games at a time now, one vn and something with more gameplay (DR2 for Now) and once I'm done with Miotsukushi I'll replay Togainu. I've been really in the mood for anything n+c pretty much ever since I finished slow damage and Tomohiko's route is my excuse to play it again since they recently officially translate it in English. For the more gameplay game after DR I'll start Fatal frame at last. I honestly can't remember when was the last time when I played an actual game on pc and I'm really excited about it.

Speaking of survival horror we went to see Return to Silent Hill today. It's a movie for sure. We watched fnaf2 just last month and for video game adaptations I had a lot of fun with it and despite it flaws I liked it overall and I can't say the same thing about this clusterfuck. I'm not huge on silent hill but I would say I like the second game, for it's story and themes, the movie takes all that and stomps all over it. It basically became a whole different thing. The only people who I can imagine liking this movie are horror movie fans (Am not) that don't know anything and don't care one bit about silent hill. They add so many unnecessary plot points that forced them to rush through actually good and accurate to the game ones. Why did they bother to add Eddie just to forget about him as fast as he showed up. No resolution there, all the other characters like Maria and Angela were brushed on barely. They only really focused on Mary who didn't even have much story in the game and was just seen through James' story. I'd like to say referencing the best game ending (in water) redeemed it a little bit due to how much they changed the story it made it shit. Words cannot explain how bad of a decision was making Mary want to die and ask James to kill her. The whole point of the game is that what he did was bad and he was selfish to kill her and he killed himself because he couldn't stand the thought and guilt, not to get some fulfilling resolution and closure and die alongside her. On top of all that it wasn't even fun. I was bored at times and my boyfriend felt the same so it's not just me not liking movies. There's not a single thing I can praise this movie on. 

On live action side note I also finally got around to watching third (last) season of Squid game. The ending was meh disappointing but other than that I think it might've been my favorite one although I might just not remember what I thought about the first one. Squid game is extremly overhyped and overrated for no reason just because people never saw a killing game before but it's still fun to someone who really likes battle royale like me. Shoutout to the best moment when 120 discovered the exit and as she's telling that to 222 and 149 she gets fucking stabbed and not only that but she is stabbed by 333 in front of the girl he fucking impregnated, when they revealed that I literally stood up and fell down it was so good. I love tragic moments like that especially since 120 if my favorite character this season other than 456. I still have that squid game kfc box somewhere, I swae I'm not a fan. I do think there are plenty of better death games (Battle Royale, Alice in Borderland etc etc) but I can't say I don't like squid game sighs

Going back to Higurashi I finished both Miotsukushi Ura and Omote. A slog to go through really, thank god Omote was short but with how there was little to no new text and I have to push the skip button on and off and only read the new text it was pretty confusing and all over the place but I wanted to get through with it fast and I didn't really care. The only thing I cared about this chapter was finding out what the note Tomoe's father left meant and it was pretty underwhelming. How stupid Tomoe has to be to not be able to figure out she read that wrong for years.

I'll be back to finish console arcs soon for now I've been consumed by umas and SDR2 (again)
