I have to stop thinking about upgrading my audio. I already have a good mic for work and D&D with my friends. It's already 100 times better than the apple stuff my colleagues use. There is just that small nagging feeling in the back of my head that says: "What about something professional with XLR connectors and a neat small mixer? It could be better!" The setup would cost me easily about 200€ and more. Not worth... But maybe... Nah... Not at this moment in time as I need it for more useful stuff.

Every time somebody important dies in this game I go “holy papaya!!” but then I remember that none of them were decapitated so they might just be in a three-game coma

Watched the Marvels movie. Boy... It was not very good. Not awful as many say. It's rather bland. Thor The Dark World bland.

Never ever will I buy any miniature paint from Citadel. All of them dried up. Those stupid tubs are not sealed enough and the medium evaporates. I do not paint very often so it's wasted money when they aren't usable after two or three years in storage.

I bought a tool for splicing 3d printer filament. It's difficult as hell. I bought it so I can use up all those "too much to throw away but too short to print anything usable" spools. The main problem is that I end up having a splice that is way too thick to fit through the PTFE tube that will definitely end up as a print failure. At this point I think it is a operator failure than a failure of the tool. I give it more tries until I throw it into the corner.

@scribus I think too. Also I have the suspicion that the tool I bought is kind of flawed in both handling and execution https://i.imgur.com/rWLHU0z.jpeg It is made such that you put one end into the area with the Teflon sleeve and the other end to the metal hole. Both ends are then heated by a flame (candle, lighter) for a couple seconds and then pulled into the Teflon area and there the ends are pushed together while the plastic is hot. After it has cooled down the screws are loosened and the tool can be removed. The hole in the Teflon area is about 2mm in diameter while the plastic filament is 1.75mm. Ideally the hole should be the same or close in size. Either way pushing the filament into the hole while it's melted is hard as the filament itself tends to naturally curl because it has been wound up on a spool before and hand-straightening is not really easy or effective enough. I need to shave off the extra bulge back to 1.75mm in order to prevent clogs. Wasn't expensive tough.

I have finished the game! 93 hours! My burden has been lifted! I was gifted with the sweet release of dopamine with the final button press. It's past midnight right now and I need to sleep. Haven't thought I had it in me to push through today, as I was feeling sleepy the whole day.

But yeah for the most part it’s pretty good. Kaiji Tang is the Ichiban I imagine in my head

“Kiryu has contracted schizophrenia from repeated exposure to Kasuga” is not a tutorial I thought I would read in this game

@adiwan I dunno, maybe I’m just misremembering Nanba’s voice because I’m currently used to hearing him as Yagami’s, but Greg Chun constantly sounds like he’s about to lose his voice in Infinite Wealth. That and his audio mixing is like noticeably worse than everyone else’s, so he might actually just have done everything from home with no voice direction and the audio engineer didn’t fix anything. Mega jarring because the rest of the English voice dub is shockingly good.
-
@zeldatra I'm playing with the Japanese audio. I don't know how good the English voice cast is but I'm very much used to listening to the Japanese voices. On the other hand the English of some characters is the epitome of bad. I cringe extremely hard hearing speaking English. If I were the director I'd rather have a voice-alike for the English. Maybe it was out of budget or time but it undermines his character in my opinion.
-
@adiwan it’s mad unfortunate in some cases, they face scanned Daniel Dae Kim for the triad boss but when he talks it’s not Daniel Dae Kim’s voice and Daniel Dae Kim is Ebina instead???

Did Ichiban and Kiryu have an off-screen adventure together between Ryu 7 and Infinite Wealth or something? Ichiban keeps saying papaya like “everything Kiryu did for me” but to my knowledge all Kiryu did was show up, beat Ichiban up, exposit at him, then leave without even telling him his name.

@zeldatra You are right. It was really odd that they were both very good buddies from his perspective. I would guess that Ichiban got his name from Songhee or Joon-gi (the Geomijul in general) and he probably meant with "everything Kiryu did for me" was just the little bit of Kiryu helping his cause in 7.

A group of dudes stole $2000 in merchandise in a single night at my store, and my dumbass hothead of a cart pusher threw hands. They came in again last night and brought mace. Now I kind of wanna wear goggles tonight in case they come in again but at this rate if they discover I’m immune to mace they’ll bring a gun tomorrow.

@scribus my current plan is to stand around door and watch it so I can at least say I did something when they review cameras, ain’t getting close to these psychos though. My hero complex doesn’t run THAT strong.
-
@zeldatra Isn't it the point to call the police? Or when you see them again to call for help (police/security...).
-
@adiwan I do that too, but the cops in this county are mega slow. You call, they take 45 minutes to show up.

Only theft I stopped today was kids stealing White Claw. On the bright side, I really bullied them over their choice in drinks. Just completely laid into them. Told them my grandma drinks that grape & that it was embarrassing watching them grab it.

France hasn’t used Francs since the 90s!!!!! How did one end up in my store????????

somebody paid for a lottery ticket today by passing off a French Franc as a quarter, and now I’m just left wondering where tf it came from

At the moment, though, the store is emptier than a Dean Phillips rally.

Boah... I had to grind some levels as I noticed that the enemies hit way too hard. Mostly I could manage but it was too close way too often. Getting through all the levels of the dungeon and defeating the boss was also not an easy matter for which I had also grind some job levels. With those job levels I had a good selection of skills and additional stat gains. All of that was 4 hours of gameplay. It's the first time I felt some kind of padding.

I arrived at chapter 9 with 65 hours of playtime.... I cannot fathom how insane it is.
