 I think today is another Minecraft kind of day. /: I was supposed to fit a "netflix and knit" day in somewhere to finish a goddamn sock or something, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm in arguably way too much of an Atelier series mood, too... I ended up brainstorming an Atelier-like thing yesterday that... will hopefully see me writing through the month of December, but honestly idk, I guess we'll see. I'm thinking about getting Lydie & Suelle for Switch, too, once that's a thing that I can do.

I also kind of want to pick up Sophie for PS4, but it's full price in the PS store and while I could get a used copy from GameStop for a reasonable price, the closest store that has one is like... an entire city over? I don't really want to go that far. I have enough on my bus pass for it (it'd be a day pass, since, uh, four bus trips) but... I'm not trying to make a three-hour trip to buy one goddamn video game.

So I'm not going to. I am, however, going to go into my tiny world and increase the size. It's 256x256 right now and that's an... interesting, size world to be playing in, but. It's really tiny!!!! I was thinking of going 8192x8192, but I think for now I'll go 2048x2048 and see how things go from there. It's going to be an interesting change, for sure, since the house I was in the middle of building was definitely backed up against one edge on purpose, so maybe I'll finish it first (...and maybe I'll finish it in creative, because I am nothing if not a horrible cheat, but really? Fuck building houses in survival once they start getting big. It's a huge pain in the ass and I hate it) and then change the world size. ...that all depends on how much I actually finished last time I guess.

So, uh... there's a non-zero chance I could end up with two Switches? I'm not, like, expecting it or anything; if there's one thing you can rely on my dad for, it's disappointment.

But he's making an awful lot of suspiciously specific complaints about how expensive "that Nintendo thing" is, and I know he knows I want it. Today was the third time he complained about how $300 is soooooooo super expensive how could ANYTHING possibly cost that much, and this time I didn't even bring it up. He did. Out of nowhere.

The last time he did this was... a while ago, like six or seven years tbh so I might be reading way too deeply into it, but that time he did it so that I wouldn't suspect that he had actually bought me the things that I'd asked for. I haven't even asked him for this (not seriously, anyway) - he's already spent $150 on fountain pen stuff for me and I'm sure that was physically painful for him to do, because *gasp* spending money on something I actually want and asked for? IMPOSSIBLE, but I wasn't about to ask for a $300 thing - probably closer to $450-500 after you include a case, a memory card, games, etc. - on top of that.

And then mom slid up to me all "hey if you want something big for Christmas I can do you one (1) big thing" so... I asked her instead. And she came through. 

...but my dad doesn't know that. And I told her that I'm suspicious, so she's going to try and figure out whether or not he has or he's planning on it - because if he did/does then obviously I can't open the one she bought at his house (Christmas is always at dad's, because dad likes to pretend we're a family) because then he'll find out. And I told her not to tell him that she bought me one. I think she's got my back on this. I'm not 100% sure, and I also don't know that she'll tell me, regardless of what she finds out.

But if this turns out to be the case I am going to laugh so fucking hard.

 I was going to talk about the HORRID BETRAYAL my mother committed upon me, but then S informed me that the dogs scared a skunk outside, and moments later I found myself choking on the evidence.

cue me dragging all my stuff out of the living room into the furthest possible place in the house (but not quite far enough, unfortunately) and put my mom's claim that she could clear off the bed to the test, because like fuck am I going to sleep marinating in eau du skunk. 

nothing like suffering to bring people together, right?

(said horrible betrayal did still occur, however, and there is now a fully zero chance that I might end up with two switch. ...again.)
