I've been playing Silksong since about a week after it came out, when I realized it was out for PS4 AND reasonably priced. I'm in Act 3 and have slowed down considerably because there's just... not that much left to do. I have a few relics I need to hunt down, the fourth race with Sprintmaster Swift, and beating Seth's high scores in Fleatopia (I already got the Pale Oil before fighting him). My Hunter's Journal is only missing Abyss creatures and Lost Lace, who I'm maybe kind of afraid of and therefore have been fucking around putting that off.

I do want to start a playthrough to get the Act 2 ending trophy -- one of them, at least, probably not the one where you have to defeat Grand Mother Silk with the twisted bud, because that was fun but I need my healing. I've been alternately using the Reaper Crest and the Wanderer's Crest since Karmelita (the first of the three hearts I went for, though the third I got -- I got frustrated, did Verdania and the Coral Tower, came back and started experimenting until something worked). I like the reach for the Reaper Crest but I'm also very impatient and the Wanderer's quick hits really enable an aggressive playstyle. I don't dislike the other crests so much as some have no healing and some have diagonal downslash, and it's a miracle I made it through the Red Memory with that. I could have done that perfectly with a downward slash crest.

There are still games on my PS4 that I haven't played, but nothing I'm truly excited about, and I'm trying to convince myself that it's not a horrible idea to buy a PS5 for my birthday on Black Friday (birthday is Nov 8) given our current situation. I don't want to like, find myself with no emergency fund, so I did make a wishlist and I'd really love any donations towards the PS5, since I don't actually expect anyone to get me the whole thing. My Paypal is battlesinthemorning@gmail.com.

If I don't end up buying the PS5 it'll go to bills, it's not like I'm gonna fuck around with it. I felt bad enough yesterday when I bought a 24 eur vertical clotheshorse so I have somewhere indoors to hang clothes during the winter when it's raining, since the dryer gave out last spring and no one ever fixed it. And I have already gotten use out of it.

I'm behind on literally everything and the SAD is hitting HARD. Doesn't help that I'm on my period too. My sister has been nicer to me recently but she was also screaming at my mom earlier so that's not helping either. I just want to be able to do something to make money, literally tackle any of my stupid ideas (TTRPG card design, dice bags) and see if they get any traction but the momentum is dead and buried.
