So it appears it happened again....sorta kinda. The site wasn't fully out of my mind but I didn't exactly feel like I had much I wanted to post about so I just kind of left it.
To preface, I locked in and spent pretty much all of February through April reading ALL* of Umineko from the Questions and Answers arcs all the way through the Saku content, about half of the manga (I'm in Episode 4 at the time of writing), and watching Umistage with a friend. It's been really nice, I genuinely really love all of what the catbox of Rokkenjima has to offer!!
I won't lie in retrospect this is probably the most I've been obsessed with something in a LONG time, like I would consider Kingdom Hearts to be the next closest thing for me (ignore Pokemon that's just a constant and a requirement it doesn't count!!) and that was something I got introduced to and fully attached to probably around my late childhood into early teens so that has had time to stew. This however has latched onto my brain like a parasite and I say that as a positive. I just love it so god damn much!!! I don't think I'm going to do a full write up about how I feel so I think a simple just gush about it for a bit does the job, it's just really good and I do want more people to read it even if it is like 150 hours.....
Also, I do plan on reading the rest of the WTC series, I have them all I just need to set some time aside to finally sit down and read all of Higurashi and Ciconia and I have a couple other VNs I do still want to read like Tsukihime being a big one I have started but haven't put any serious time into, and I still need to go back and finish Cell of Emperio as a friend has been on my ass about. (not a VN but whatever)
Moving on from that, you have probably noticed the overhaul of the background and color scheme! I'm trying something new, it might change again it might not stuff might be a little scuffed but that's the fun of it. Oh, and I have rebranded and subsequently updated my collections page since I have quite a few things to show and a forgotten update from the last time that I just didn't notice I didn't publish....oops.
Anyways, that's pretty much all I've got for now, we'll see when I have something I want to properly dedicate a little blog update on hopefully it's not too long.
I made a Spreadsheet to track my Crystal Living Dex progress you can find it here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HEfRIT5HF8DmcryHoQjHOeKhP2aALaTdOZOrsvLxACI/edit?usp=sharing
I have every pokemons bulbapedia page linked and the route or area you can find them is highlighted with the games color that I figure was easiest to find them in, I specifically went and looked at every evolution to see if it was obtainable in the wild and decided if it's possible to catch it in the wild I have to, so if it's listed as EVO you have to evolve for it.
Most base forms of pokemon are just listed on the same route as the evolved forms I figure it was easier to organize that way since I'll be catching whatever comes up during my playthrough then sweep back after I have the HMs and Key Items nessecary for optimal travel.
Feel free to make a copy of this and use it yourself by the way it's why I linked it in the first place!! I'll leave it linked here on the main page for the time being alongside the normal updates so it's in a easy to reach location.
