Blog Update #10
8/16/24
Following up on my last post: I guess I should have expected playing two Unis at once would burn me out. I've barely touched them lol! I'm trying to get back on track with them since I've still got a lot of tamas left to collect, and who knows when Bandai will release more DLC. I've also added a few small updates to the site, like the July music, some updates on the Vani project pages (which are still WIP and look sloppy), and some ideas for projects moving forward. I do think it's time to give the layout an update, or maybe move some pages around and hope they don't break too many links.
I've been experiencing a little burnout on FF14 for the first time since starting in Sept2023, so I've started to play other games again. I still log into FF14 to check some stuff, but I'm now juggling a few games and seeing what sticks. I just started a new file on P3R and am hoping to finish it before The Answer DLC comes out next month.
Oh, and before I forget - I finally decorated my house in FF14! I would have posted the screenshot on Vani's carrd, but I'll be a lala until the next MSQ update and I only want au ra Vani pics on the carrd. I'm no good at housing design so it's a little cramped, but I worked hard on it and don't feel like doing more at this time.

My Tamagotchi Uni Angel arrived in the mail today! Very excited to handle 2 devices at once. I just got Melodytchi on my pink device so I have only Pianitchi left until I finish all of the LoveMelo Concert DLC! I really love the items from this DLC, but the minigame is pretty frustrating since the sound doesn't time well with hitting the buttons. Bummer, since I love rhythm games. I've read comments from other rhythm game players and they agree that this minigame is not that great.
As for other features to add here, I've been thinking about adding a separate journal for my progress in FF14. I noticed on the official lodestone that JP players use the blog feature a lot, and I thought it would be fun to try doing that myself. If I do that, I'd have to rework a template for this site. Tbh, the current vtachi layout is a little too crowded for me, as I didn't originally intend to host so many pictures.

I got a new case (by GeekShare) + G'raha Tia keychain (by xhiuyu) for my switch! I don't know who to show it off to so I'll just post it here instead. :)

I have given up on making this a personal translations hub! lol
I may return to the idea in the future but it's too much for me at this time. I'd rather just play around logging my tamagotchi and maybe posting stuff like personal rankings or pics from my collection. Ever since my dog passed away I have felt a bit...transient? I don't know how else to describe it but I've just been living. It's not something I really want to talk about, but I just wanted to notate it since it's been a pretty impactful event.

I added a tamagotchi log in the "other" tab just for fun! I've been playing the Uni again recently since the new DLC came out.

Translations update...I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SCAN THESE BOOKS ARRRGHH!!!
I can't bring myself to unbind the books so I'll have to work on the assumption that readers will have their own copy. Ah well. I did recently obtain some doujin that are written instead of drawn so while those may take longer, it'll be easier to consume. And even though I can't provide any clear scans, I will still do my best to provide some sort of image. Even if the quality is meh.

So I'm almost done with Endwalker (the main game) and honestly, I've been feeling a little conflicted about finishing this wonderful story after nearly 6 months of going through it. HOWEVER...this will open up time for new outlets, such as translating things that I have been wanting to translate for so long! I just have a little bit more to work on with MSQ, and once I'm done then I'm DONE!! (Until the next expansion lol)

Mannn remember when I said I was gonna prioritize P3R over FFXIV? So that was a lie ^_^"
TBH I actually found myself getting bored with P3R. I made it about...5-6 hours in? Did the first boss and everything, but I've replayed the original so much that I'm easily burning out on the remake. I think it's a pretty polished game, but maybe not quite for me at this point in time. So I've been working on FFXIV instead! My new goal is to catch up with MSQ before Dawntrail releases, which should be doable at my current pace. As for my translation projects, I must apologize for the wait. It is still taking me some time to get it figured out, and it's not really a high priority for me. I want to translate things when I can enjoy them, but right now I'm enjoying other things more. I won't abandon this idea, though. It's just going on the backburner for a little longer than I thought.
Blog Update #2

The avatar on the right column has been updated! It will probably be updated again in the future, but something simple is fine for now. I am pretty exhausted from my irl job this week so I'm planning on spending my days off on FFXIV and hopefully get closer to catching up with the expansions. I've given up on trying to do that before P3R comes out next week TT^TT but on the bright side, I'll be glued to my PS5 that has been collecting dust ever since I played Tales of Arise. As far as this site goes, my first project I will upload will most likely be one of my Blue Lock doujins. While I've done personal translations for various stuff in the past, this will be my first time uploading to the public! It will take some time since I'm splitting my free time between that and gaming, but hang tight!
Blog Update #1

For those new here, I had previously been using the "gorogoro" neocities username with the intent of creating a general hub of the hobbies taking up residence in my head. Turns out, that's a more daunting task than I assumed I had time for, so I have condensed it to a space for my personal translations as well as an update blog over time. I have replaced all coding for the previously drafted site and replaced it with a new premade layout by teppy's layouts, which allows for easier layout editing. I'm still in the process of creating my own assets to better personalize the site. I think I want to keep teppy's black&white aesthetic and just change up the avatar. Perhaps if I have the motivation to change up the layout I might add or remove a few things.
