“It’s a statue, not a figurine!”

With Yayifications of employment, comes the craze of preparing to buy stuff you couldn’t before.
Planning to get a Switch with my first or second paycheck, followed by some new releases end of the year (You can probably guess which).
But while gazing at these things online, I noticed a lone Breath of the Wild Limited Edition box still being sold (Still retail price, too!).

So I bought it, without owning a Switch (yet).
T-That bookcase can wait another month.. *Drowns in boxes*

Let’s try a new watermark and external border!

Various topics, which mean multiple categories. Unfortunately I can’t select which to use for the header, so don’t mind it.

So now I’ll be perfectly honest: I have no idea when the next comic will be. But that’s no surprise, right?
I got some Joko (GW2) and Coffee Room comics lined up, but can’t find the drive to finish them :v
Now summer is busting in as well, draining away the remaining energy I have left.. I can’t stand these temperatures.

My first, latest, and also only home console that I own 100% myself is a Nintendo 64 (Shared one is a Magnavox Odyssey²/Philips Odyssey²/Philips Videopac G7000/Whatever they called it).
I got it on one of my birthdays with Mario 64 packed in, and Ocarina of Time as an extra.
At the least, my parents knew that having just a single game was a waste. Just like with my Gameboy being bundled with Tetris, and having Marioland 2 as an extra game.

On a financial level (and sometimes the fandom too, but that’s another story).
Collecting Japanese figures has gotten pretty expensive since I started ~10 years ago.
Now I’ll admit I can be quite stingy with money/be a cheapskate, but the examples below show that the prices are just getting silly in comparison to what they used to be and what you got for it.
So let’s go back a little, when yen prices were lower and the exchange rate was €1 = ¥170

I think figure scan guy is dead. Or I’m just terrible at finding them. Probably the latter.
Just catching up with stuff from past seasons when I’m not busy. Rail Wars! lacked Wars.
Kinda like Guild Wars 2 lacking… well, guild wars right now. Though that should be fixed with Heart of Thorns, I think? Shirobako’s pretty entertaining.
And I can totally understand why Stargate Universe got canceled.

GW2 game client is getting worse.
First the Ancient Karka breaks it so I bluescreen 50% of the time when pressing play, now I get client errors too every time there’s a new patch. Terrible!

..I should get to this month’s Requiem comic before the month ends.
