2025 Progress Report 1

Since the world is, in fact, not ending, and my life is not falling apart at the seams like I thought it would, I've decided to get back on with my goals for the year.  I've done surprisingly good on my doll goals and I've been artistically productive, so I figured I'd review and possibly revise my media goals.

1. Start and complete the My Time At series.  I haven't even started My Time at Portia.  I have it installed, I have no desire to play, like at all.  The graphic style is not to my taste.  Maybe someday, but I'm not gonna force it.

2. Start reading the Valdemar series by Mercedes Lackey.  Nope.  Haven't even started.  Have the books, have the app installed on my PC and tablet, still haven't started reading the damn thing.  Instead, I've been binge-reading indie MM romances on Kindle Unlimited.  And I have been going hard!  I've finished possibly 10 books in the past month?  I haven't finished them all, but it hasn't been for a lack of trying.  Some of them I just didn't like, so I dropped them halfway through.  Some of them I've gone back and finished.  It's been wild, and I'm having fun.  Am I ingesting word junk food?  Probably, but I'm reading!  So I'm not mad at myself.

3. Visual Novels.  I've finished 1 this year so far.  I'm kinda pumped to read more though.  I even installed the itch.io desktop app to manage my non-steam titles.  I've been focusing on queer titles tho, and maybe I should go back to the Sakura series.  Sure, I have to pretend to be a man for half of them, but it doesn't bother me that much?  They're a consistent quality read, so I really should remember I have them.

4. Live Service Games.  This has gotten a drastic change.  For starters, I'm bored as shit with Palia.  I've been playing it for a year and a half, and they don't add anything fun in the frequent updates, just more shit to buy.  I realize they need to pay bills, but I'm BORED.  I actively don't want to play Palia anymore.  Also, their player base, those who are left, are bitchy as fuck!  Hanging out in Palia circles is not a good time.  All they do is bitch!  They bitch at new players for screwing up and make them quit!  I'm not down for it anymore.  Besides, the house tours became a popularity contest immediately and I can't be fucked.  I don't want a bigger house, I like my small house!  Not every house has to be a home furnishings museum with a room for every furniture style!  And I'm just not creative enough to come up with anything cool or out of the box, because interior decorating is boring!

In other news, I have a new game, called Hello Kitty Island Adventure.  It's beautiful, it works well, it's being actively added to by the developers, and I want to be a chibi CAT!  that is all I want from life!  I want to be a smol fluffy cat with costumes to play with and be friends with Hello Kitty and Kuromi!  I paid full price for the deluxe edition and I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love this game and don't wanna deal with anyone else's shit, and multiplayer is entirely optional, so I DON'T HAVE TO!  So yeah, fuck everything, I'm going to continue to binge play Hello Kitty Island and enjoy myself without people bitching aggressively over hitting trees with axes at the wrong time.  Sorry, I'm complaining about Palia again.

Oh, and I still login to Aura Kingdom for my daily login rewards.  I'm not really in a position to progress at the moment, but it would help if I did my daily dimension hall to crawl through the higher levels.  They're such a slog...  How do I still love Aura Kingdom after all this time?  I have tons of costumes, my dream home, and I feel like a cute anime girl badass when I'm facemelting my enemies with fire.  Plus, the players don't bitch.

So, in summary, I can't be assed to play My Time at Portia, I only want to read gay smut, I'm still buying more visual novels, and Palia has been replaced with Hello Kitty Island Adventure.
