Persona 5. I put in over 150 hours into it in under 3 weeks. Been a long ass time since I had such a long stretch. Amazing game too.
That's out already? It may be time for me to finally pay up for a PS4, unless it actually becomes available on Steam, but that would be a first for the Persona series.
Yeah, came out September 15th, though it is the Jp version. I would have waited to support the USA one if it was gonna be dual audio but they said dub only so I didn't and oh boy am I glad for that lol. The game is basically the new standard Jrpgs are gonna be measured by.
Well, this might be it then. If I like what I see on the reviews and LPs, I might be a PS4 owner soon.

To be honest... Not a thing.

I have bags of hobbies and interests, but I'm just in a serious funk of not giving a shit lately. My brain feels like mush and my body feels frail despite performing competitive sporting activities at a decent level several times a week.

Very possibly need to get laid.

I'm getting a surge of creative desire to work on my RPGs again.

Sadly, University saps a lot of time and energy, so any progress is way to slow for my taste.

That and I kinda went to get back to games in my main setting (So many plot threads I can chase and strange worldbuilding to reveal! :D), but I have fans really really clamoring for me to keep working on my bigger game project, which is a different setting altogether.

Photography. I wanted a new hobby after my old job, I have a new job now, thank fuck, and I decided to by a DSLR camera and have some fun with it. I am enjoying it at the moment. Did some interesting night time pics as I wanted to capture London at night. Still a novice, created a Flickr account, Photo bucket for some reason has a lower storage capacity and looking to improve.

Everyone needs a hobby as a pass time away from the hell of work. Maybe I say that because my old work place had and still have people stressed to the fucking max! Their health is getting worse and frustrations are growing. I had to leave due to my motivations getting lower and lower and glad I got this new job. Risking your health for your job is not worth... oh wait. Media. Stupid Para. Actually, no. Health should be valued more and if your job is pushing you over the edge, you need a new job/career.

Other than getting angry over trivial and utter bullshit? Well...

Jojo. Nothing but Jojo. It's been on my mind so much that I decided to try to get back into writing by attempting to write a Jojo fan fiction just to get my creative juices flowing. It worked for a little but, but while my utter love for Jojo remains, I haven't been able to think of how to continue the story since I got to the first hurdle that my OC has had to overcome. But as I type this, I've decided to just write, see where it takes me, and adjust accordingly.

Since I got a PS Vita, I've been playing a lot of Persona 4 Golden to hype myself up for P5 when it comes out in the US on Valentine's Day.

Dragon's Dogma and Bloodborne have caught my attention again. Bloodborne because I've had the game since it released and I haven't even beaten it yet, and Dragon's Dogma because I wanted an easy game to play but something to sink my time in when I'm bored and have nothing to do, which is rarely given my schedule and frequency of classes. Final Fantasy XIV has also caught my eye again thanks to a new patch, which included a bunch of new high level stuff to do, easier ways to get high level loot, and my desire to level up another class to 60, which I have been putting off since I got my WAR to 55.

To me that would be the tablet games particually the gatcha related ones like Final Final Brave Envius and Summoners War.

Ok yes you can called me a whale for throwing in my cash and yes those game have FLAW but it still appeal to me! I guess I see them as Pokemon like as in you been given a group of creature/ characters and you have to make the best of it!

After a years worth of being trapped in the MMO vice, I've finally broken free and gotten back to recording music. I bought a new iMac and audio interface and the new version of Prologic and everything's going fantastically. Creativity levels are at an all time high, though I'm concerned about my ability to maintain the current momentum.

Martial arts.

Been dappling with various disciplines since I was a kid but in the last few years have taken it up seriously.

What style of Martial Arts have you been training with?
Krav Maga, currently.

Was also doing Brazilian Jiu-jitsu for a year or so but sadly the gym where I as doing it went down the crapper. Currently looking for somewhere else I can take it up again.

Vegetation, climate change and plastic beer can loops. Making sure the "final plan" is fool-proof and will succeed despite my physical and mental limitations.

Animals, Dogs in particular. I have found that as I become more and more detached from other human beings, I feel more and more distressed when I see an animal suffering or cold or hungry. I've been working with a foster agency that takes in strays, rehabilitates them and finds them homes.

Sad that I wont be able to do that after I move in a few weeks.

Very cool! I trained in Muay Thai for several years and the Krav Maga guys were the only folks who could out-brutal me when sparring. Very practical, no-nonsense art. Mad respect.

Segue to OT:

Now I'm practicing Kung Fu, which is my current passion. That and getting my music side-business up and running again.

For film, I've become a bit interested in Korean film. Partly because I don't like what it's become, and think what it was (particularly in the 80's), was really beautiful and interesting.
Which ones would you recommend?

Out of curiosity, what is it you don't like about modern Korean films? Maybe it's too broad a question.
I'm still exploring, but I'd definitely recommend films by Im Kwon-Taek, who I think is a lot gentler and more interested in his country's relationship with the past than a lot of other filmmakers from Korea. Why Has Bodhi-Dharma Left For the East? is another interesting film from that time, but I haven't seen it in a while. I've heard good things about a number of filmmakers from this era and they seem like a lot more my speed than what's going on right now.

I guess if I were to recommend anything from Korea, it'd probably be The Housemaid and Obaltan, because you can kind of see what their cinema is built on. Both films are socially minded, feel-bad genre films, and probably the two biggest 'classics' in the country. I just sort of feel like the more recent filmmakers have become fixated on the more unsavory or violent parts of these films without carrying any of the meaning behind them. Any film that does incorporate anything halfway important just use it as a guise for bloodshed (films like Haemoo, or The Yellow Sea for example).

Lee Chang-Dong deserves credit for making a couple of really great contemporary dramas, Bong Joon-Ho deserves credit for being the only genre filmmaker in the country who approaches his subject matter with sincerity even if I think only about half of his movies actually hit their mark, and then there's Hong Sang-Soo, who's probably the best the country has to offer and that's probably because he's the least typically Korean filmmaker working today. The guy basically makes personal films that are heavily inspired by French work.

So there's stuff I do like, but I've been hearing that "there's a great Korean thriller" every other month for a decade or so, and nearly every time I don't agree.

Feeling really good since my oldest hobby mistress, tabletop RPG's, got a shot in the arm with a new Feng Shui game and the group with it. Been a while since i've actually had any passion for my old love, and glad to have it back.

I've always wanted to create my own monstergirl encyclopedia like Kenkou Cross's "M.G.E." and Okayado's "Monster Girls" universes, but with the girls as powerful, feral, savage, sex-crazed female monsters (exactly like how regular monsters are portrayed in hentai) rather than docile, weak-willed waifu trash for beta male otakus. It'd have profiles, in-depth cultural and species information, artistic depictions - the works. Unfortunately, the scale for such an undertaking is enormous, not only financially but mentally and physically. As of now it's a personal project by me, for me, so there's little reason to be too passionate about it.
