So, I was without computer for like 4 days.

I watched a lot of Star Trek at least??? I pretty much watched all of TNG season 6 and DS9 season 1. DS9 has really picked up, TNG is still TNG. There were some nice episodes in there, and Season 7 is holding up better than what people led me to think about it (but, uh, that's also how I felt about Season 5 which was great for the first half but then fell to utter shit for the second half...).

DS9 was shaky at first but it's amazing now. And I also had mixed feelings about it beforehand because an important factor in my anticipation for things, sadly, is perceived sex appeal. It's easy to be excited for VOY because The Doctor <3 <3 <3, and Enterprise is pretty much just softcore porn with all the hot characters/actors hahaha.

But DS9, before going in, didn't seem to have any characters I thought were hot from what I knew of it. But, uh, thankfully a lot of them grew on me and there were a lot of characters I didn't know were going to be here:


  • Odo was the only character I was vaguely interested in before going in, but not enough to be excited about him. Though with his personality I became super attached to him quickly, and now he is pretty hot XD

  • Bashir was the character everyone thought was hot and I was like WHAT WHYYYYYYY and still I don't think his physical appearance is all that attractive but he's just so charming and cute and I love him and want to hug him.

  • Kira is a BAMF and I love her. Sometimes the writing for her is frustrating, as she seems to learn the same 'lessons' over and over and then forget them (but not in a way that is acknowledged; it's like every single episode that focuses on her just has the same plot in a different setting as if it never happened before). She's one of those characters that is attractive most of the time but then sometimes looks like my mom and I feel uncomfortable.

  • JADZIA. This was a character I didn't really know about going in, even though she's a main crew member and one of the most important characters on the show?????????????????? But uh, she's super hot but then her character is awful. She has no personality whatsoever, and I don't think it's the actress because she does great portraying like Bashir's dream Jadzia and whatever. Why is she so boring otherwise? It has to be the direction/script. Which is a huge disappointment but gottdamn, Terry Farrell. Also the women in this show punch sexism in the face, and Kira and Jadzia make interesting foils to each other and yeah I could go on forever about this and this is about who is hot so I'm gonna save that for another time.

  • Bariel!! It was scary to find how to write his name because I didn't want to find spoilers hahhaa. But he's a recurring character at this point who has been in, I think 5 epsiodes? so far, and I really hope he keeps appearing because I love him so much. He's handsome and has that nasally voice that makes me weak in the knees.

  • Gul Dukat. Nuff said, really, and was a character I was looking forward to meeting, but he wasn't in like any of Season 1 so I kinda forgot he even existed. Even now he's mostly just an image on a screen for a bit but I know he'll be showing up more soon~


So uh there's my little list. Sisko is... not too interesting so far; he's kind of generic and I can't get a good feel for his character. I think he's going to get facial hair later so maybe that will be nice...? Hopefully he'll just become more developed as a character like Jadzia seems to be becoming. But right now it seems like he just kinda... does whatever is needed for the script without much thought being given to writing him a personality. And uh I odn't really need to comment on characters like Quark and I've probably complained about O'Brian enough at this point (though he's even worse in DS9 and I hate him even more now).

But uh, enough about strek because the main reason I came on here was to say I didn't have a computer and then talk about ROCKMANX6 because some people are talking about it on GFAQs and I kinda want to play again, but now I've been typing for a while and am tired of typing so maybe I'll just talk about it if I actually replay it lololol.

But basically I want to try to find a better route through X6 using what I learned in my last playthrough, and maybe try to incorporate Zero into a route as well. That's all for now XD

Sooo X bought us both the Agarest games and I knew nothing about them going in. When searching for the release order of the three games, I learned it was like... some kind of booby waifu game, which I did not expect.

The first character you meet is like... an 8-year-old who even has a CG of being cute or something and I literally thought the small child was going to be a love interest and the game was going to have you make babies with this kid and write it off as "well she's an elf so elf children are really like adult humans" or something even though she acts like a kid.

But it didn't end up being like that and there's actually a story. It's pretty much what you would expect from an eroge except this isn't an eroge. Or maybe it originally was and this is one of those eroge-made-into-playstation-game kind of deals? But I didn't think that was the case.

But yeah basically Big Titty Goddess gives you super awesome powers for literally no reason and follows you around until you meet Tsundere Girl Who Can't Dress Herself whose clothing is literally falling off at all times. And the little girl is following you around too for some reason. Oh yeah and some other titty girl who is supposed to be a 'seer' but for some reason can only think of thoughts of you.

As cheesy as the setup is, it's pretty cool for a game so far. It's one of those 'there's 23958230958 types of items can you grind them all?!' games it seems. The battle system is a lot of fun; it's an SRPG where you can make formations with characters to 'link' them up and combo techniques together, with various layers of combo things. Enemies seem pretty tough so you have to be strategic (at least on Hard Mode).


In other "news," I finished my playthroughs of Mega Man X5 to get all the cheevos. Well, I didn't get this one that is basically 'restart the game over and over until RNG gives you this 0.1% chance event" which I guess I'll just hope to stumble upon in future playthroughs or eventually sit and grind it out. I actually did it on the original Playstation version when there was no reward lol.

Overall I have to say I really like X5 a lot and am sad I dismissed it over time because of popular opinion and the whole revisit thing. Revisits are just a part of X5 and X6; they're designed with that in mind.

I started X6 and it's such a mess. I'm playing on Hard mode which is even more of a mess and there's stuff that makes no sense at all. I have a feeling it will take a really specific route (so for now, a lot of trial-and-error) to be able to make it through this. I went to the Laser Institute first since it's very short and I wanted to get the guard shell thing, but it doesn't guard against the Nightmares' orb things so it's pretty much completely useless for anything I would want to use it for. Guess it will be useful in some other parts but... the main projectile dangers are the Nightmares so...

After that I went to Central Museum to see my love Scaravich but it ended up being really stupid. I also accidentally went into the alternate stage path and ended up rescuing Zero instead of defeating Scaravich, so I still have no functional weapons and now there are Zero viruses jumping around everywhere. Since the Museum was overcrowded with Nightmares, I went to the ... ice... level... and remembered how stupid that stage is... so i think I'm just going to restart the entire game lol. I might go for the trash compactor stage first since I remember the rescues not being too bad as long as you move slowly/carefully so that the Nightmares see you before the wounded guys. And then hopefully the anchor thing you get from that stage will be a decent enough weapon to fight the Nightmares in the Museum...?

I was thinking of also going to Inami Temple or Amazon before Museum, since Yammar Option is always great, and the bubble thing you get from Turtloid might be helpful in the Museum since there's a lot of... going up. The anchor might help against the totem poles. Yammar Option... I don't really know how helpful it will be. It seems to be good against the Nightmares in Normal mode from watching Spectre stream the game, but IDK if they have more HP or weapons do less daamge or something in Hard Mode.

Anyway, the Museum is a bad first option, and now that Zero Virus is everywhere I definitely think it's time for a reset. I may as well just go to Amazon, Inami, and trash (I have no idea what that stage is actually called LOL) and get those items there. I'll also get some parts and raise X's hunter rank, so maybe he'll have a better time of trying to survive the Museum anyway.

I want to go to the fire level last just so I'm more prepared for it, but I also don't want Nightmare Effects and Viruses (Virii?) buffeting me from all directions... I also have no idea how good Heatnix's weapon is, so IDK if it's worth going there earlier.

Um, I also played Scarlet Grace quite a bit more. Urpina is amazing. I messed up getting Roh Sung so now I'm using Francis. Some really messed up stuff happened. I need to write a diary entry about it lol.
