Welp, lockdown protracted all the way up to the 3rd of May here, and I think it's going to go on eve further, because after Easter people around here start to go to the beach and fuck around in general in the weekends, especially in recent years where we had lots of early summers (totally by accident, climate change, what's that!) so I expect MORE morons to try to ignore the restrictions and go out spreading the virus, not less.

Some thoughts regarding Persona 5:

I forgot how utterly unlikable Ryuji becomes in this game. I dont hate the character, but there is a brief chunk of time where I want to throw him in front of a moving subway.

Also new girl, Yoshizawa, is pretty delightful.

Edit: I also forget that Haru is probably secretly the best party member.

Ryuji's insistence on SCREAMING THAT HE'S UPSET OR WE'RE THE PHANTOM THIEVES WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING, YA KNOW got me genuinely angry around the time of Sae's dungeon.

The two things that get me (aside from what you said) are the way he treats Morgana before their spat plot point, and how absolutely obnoxious he is during the Hawaii trip.

He is absolutely the guy who ruins that trip for everyone he is around.

It feels like I'm not fitting in anywhere and I don't know what to do about it besides just giving up on everything. I'm constantly stuck where I am with no idea of how to make things better or where to go. I'm also getting the sensation that I'm always doing things the wrong way when I'm interacting with people (which are only people online these days) and it's making me feel like an outsider and I'm never given a reason why and I don't know how to fix it and I hate every second of it.

Yesterday, I did nothing but spend all day in my bed because I knew that there's nothing that I could do that makes me feel productive or like I'm getting out of my current situation. No matter what I do, it feels wrong and that people are just out to take advantage of me. I feel like I should just lay down and die on a daily basis too.

Spending all day in bed is a very common clinical depression sign. I generally am wary of medicines and therapy, after decades of seeing how it works out for friends and family and myself, but if you're at the point where you're not mustering the energy to even get up, gotta do something. Why show resistance to change if you have nothing to lose?

On a logical level, you do understand that it's your irrational mind poisoning the way you see the world, yes? It's not an honest reality you're seeing. The issue being we can't spend every moment of every day fighting tainted thoughts.

I wish I could collect my thoughts to show exactly how I feel to people. It's less that I'm resisting and more that I don't know what I should do about it, which makes it feel meaningless.

And yes, I am aware that my viewpoint is very warped by my mind's dark thoughts. It's just that it's very easy to influence.

Yeah, see, that's a very common thought. So in that sense, you're hardly alone, albeit, every way _out_ of that swamp is different.

Well, that's a good sign at least. The way I like to think of it is that there's still a happy, passionate person beneath the mind-poison. Sometimes that person even gets to come out and see the sun. I'd highly recommend phenibut for that, though it's only a brief respite.

...

You just showed me what the core of art is. You have a need to share how you feel, so express it with something. Pick up a piece of paper and write something, or record your words, or draw an image, etc. Expressing yourself is a means of coping with your reality. And expressing something gives it meaning because it's something that someone out there will relate to. Plus it gets you out of bed, as it does for me.

Got the "point of no return" message in Doom: Eternal, so time to go back and clean up the levels for collectibles and such.

Got the reward for doing all the Slayer gates, and I do not see the purpose of it. It shares ammo with the BFG, which about 1 shots nearly every demon on the screen, so...? Why would 30 shots of this thing be worth more?

Quarantine life is starting to bug me. This is when work starts up, so I'm losing a ton of money on rent and supplies, the Trumpbucks are at least a week off, and it's a pain in the ass to _get_ supplies.

Need to switch it up a bit, paint some minis or read more, maybe do some writing/drawing. Routine is poison. Unless it's lifting, which I'm doing way more, and it does wonders for the mood.

Well make sure to get your mini paints from someone other than Games Workshop as they're not open across the entire company, including factories, due to the covid-19 crisis.

Which sucks because I need to get some more agrax earthshade for this base I am doing.
I might need to learn how to make my own.

It's really easy, I made my own black wash to do a dip when I made that huge Chtulhu model last year. All you need is a tin of paint of whatever color you want (so for Agrax Earthshade it'd be a dark brown) water and a smidge of soap or of alcohol to act as a flow-aid and break the water's surface tension.

Also, you might want to look into the Vallejo or the Army Painter supplies, their washes and metallics are as good or better than the GW stuff, and pretty much every website that sell minis stuff has them.

I was gonna get some windsor and newton matt medium and dilute that a bunch.

I was gonna look into Vallejo once all this stuff is over and I can get back to actually redoing my room so I can make space for miniature stuff again on a slightly larger scale.

I do want to find some different stuff to make other than Games Workshop minis but a lot of minis come as a cast so I can't do what I usually do and paint sections up.
I like to have stuff from sprues and focus on the thing I am painting, like an arm for example. The rest of the model usually gets in the way for me.

Never used the medium, but that is likely to get you an overall better result, yes. Still, if you need to make a lot of wash for a big project, and don't want to spend a lot in thinners, there's cheaper and easy alternatives.

As for other minis what do you like the most? Maybe I can give you a suggestion or two.

I don't mind too complex stuff, but I do err to the sci-fi side of things.
I'd like to try some more organic/creature stuff, basically something not clad head to toe in power armour like space marines.

Kinda miss dying the eggs and hiding them, and the little baskets of sweets. Need to do that for my kids if I'm ever lucky enough.

Unless I'm mistaken, that's the day he died, right? With Ascension the day he came back.

Unless he returned to life immediately and waited 40 days to go up?

I don't know why a death cult is still the most prevalent in the US, but that does explain the stunning amount of retardation we face. It's as bad as people believing in trickle-down economics.

Happy stolen Pagan holiday.

Good Friday is the crucifixion, Easter is the resurrection. The devout religious have a whole week dedicated to this, I believe. Some places they do the whole Passion plays, with mock crucifixions and such.

So he only stayed dead for 2 days? Not that impressive. Needing 40 days to come back sounded way more of a badass feat to me.

There has been a very small benefit for me in this in that my flat is just across the street from a Lutherian church (with single glazing), and since I was home with family for Christmas, this would probably have been the first time where bells might have become a real annoyance - I moved in August. But religious offices have been suspended (IRL at least) so not a single bell has been heard.

However, Ramadan is supposed to start in 10 days, and I live in a city in which there are more Muslims than Christians, so I wonder how this will go - the president is very likely going to add an entire month to the lockdown tonight on TV.

A spinoff of the main series where you play as an mixed human/alien task force? That sounds pretty good to me. Still want an XCOM3, but this is definately a welcomed surprise.

ANd yeah, there iS actual gameplay footage, and it looks like a proper XCOM game, don't let the motion comic trailer thing fool you:
