Things I've been doing lately!!

I've meant to do a post about what I've been doing in the downtime of this All That Remains hiatus, but kept putting it off!! OH WELL!!

We're here to talk about it now. I hope you were interested in what I've been up to, because, there's a lot of things that I want to tell you about, lol!


The Meltdown Project (blog post)

I posted this literally last week, but in case you missed it!

The Meltdown Project was a video / AMV I did four (five??) years back. It was like, Namine's Meltdowns in AMV format. I could say a lot of things about it but in general it's this big thing with a lot of kind of hidden meaning in it. Also I'd made a post about all the "details" behind it but the post was really just "lol I forget" at every other thing and I?? I was mad at that and decided that since I still remembered a lot, I'd go ahead and just, do a new blog post for the darn thing.

You can check it out here!


Dead Inside Edits

These are!!! These are still impending. I only have two more Kairi chapters though, and then I'll be uploading around 10 chapters all at once, all with Kairi related edits. The reason I'm doing them all at once is because a lot of this is an overarching thing, and I didn't want Kairi to be like "WOW I'M SO MAD" and then "lol it's fine" twenty chapters later. SO.

Unfortunately, after that I have to rewrite almost an entire sequence for Kairi related reasons (ch110-120, along with a few chapters before that that were Kairi issues but separate Kairi issues) BUUUUT, that's a separate thing and I'll upload those separately from this first batch.

After that I'm out of Kairi edit hell and can go back to editing and updating Dead Inside on the side, one chapter at a time. I think actually uploading the things I'm editing will help me a lot, so it doesn't look like I've been doing nothing (BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD ON THIS!!) and also it feels more like things are getting done, because they're uploaded, they're finished.

Anyway, while I might do a blog post about Kairi in the future, I think I'll probably wait until after I've uploaded the first batch of Kairi Dead Inside edits (which should happen in the next few weeks, like I said, I've only got two more chapters to go). The things I want to talk about it will be more evident after I've posted the edits, anyway.

Per usual, if you want to hear me yell about the parts of Dead Inside I don't like (or yell about why I think these rewrites are real good) then you can check out the di bloggin tag on my personal tumblr!!


Misc FtPverse Things

There hasn't been anything super major, but, I have posted some things to tumblr you should maybe care about??? I plan on cross posting a few of them over to this blog in the future, but also, shrugs on when that'll happen

  • Aesthetic posts!! This is something I started for the heck of it months and months ago - I dropped them for a bit after finishing Kairi / Namine / Sora, but didn't upload them because I didn't have Riku. ANYWAY I FINALLY FINISHED RIKU AND THIS IS AN OVER EXPLANATION FOR A SET OF PICTURES YOU'LL PROBABLY ONLY LOOK AT FOR TEN SECONDS, check them out anyway because they took a lot of time and I'm Proud (tm)
  • I rewatched some Stupid Mario Brothers and did ANOTHER post about the Darkness and Shad. I guess I'll be doing these for forever.
  • Made a post about some important revelations for the Namiku dynamic!! These will be crossposted to this blog eventually. I'LL SHOOT FOR SOON.

I may have forgotten to post about it, so:

I updated a few chapters of Falling to Pieces!!  It was nothing major, just some edits to the HB gang / Aerith's introduction, so that it read more in character / stopped being such a blatant rehash of KH1 dialogue.




OTHER WRITING THINGS??

I created a writing blog on tumblr!! It's not for much other than "I don't want to post this fic on FFN/AO3 yet (or ever) but I wanted to share it w/ a few people so take it here."

You can find it at rarwrites.tumblr.com!

There's not a whole lot on there right now, but I have written

Other than that I haven't written much, I have been really just working hard on the Dead Inside edits!

I mean, currently, I'm writing what will be ATR ch62, but it's going to be a looooooong time before that's ever uploaded, unfortunately! Maybe I'll be ready to come back by June?? Who knows.

((Ok, I guess ch62 of ATR could get uploaded sooner rather than later because it Extremely finishes up the sequence we were on, but, idk. I'll debate that and am not making any promises.))


KAIRI THINGS

The Kairi Needs Love / Kairi4KH3 movement is still going strong. 

I, I'm not totally sure why I decided to include it here because I'm not actually advertising any events because the only close one isn't until E3. 

I mean if you love Kairi and have the means to post stuff to tumblr or twitter, then check out the deets for the E3 fest we'll be hosting this year!!!



VIDEO GAMES NEWS (RELATED TO ME)

Nothing super duper major has been going on, bUT!!

I got Twilight Princess HD for my birthday (courtesy of magik!! ILU!!) which I probalby posted about around my birthday but just the other night I 100%'d it!!!

I mean, okay. I don't have any of the stamps that are new to the HD version, but I got all the poes / golden bugs / pieces of heart, which was more than kid rar ever did despite her really aggressive summer obsession with TP!! I JUST,,, I decided when I got TPHD that this time would be the time where I 100%'d it and NOW I'VE DONE IT!!! I'VE DONE IT!!!!! HECK YEAH!!!!!!!


I also bought a cool little game called Klonoa: Door to Phantomile recently! It's a simple platformer for the PS1 (which I got for 6 bucks on the PSN store) which isn't, like, groundbreaking or anything but it's a cute little game and I watched someone livestream it a while back and, given it was only 6 bucks, figured I might as well get it!! It's, uh, a lot harder than the guy who I watched play it made it look, lol.


I've also been, obviously, playing a lot of KHUX! I talked about it previously, but, yanno!! It's still a pretty fun game. I think if you're a KH fan you should at least try picking it up (especially since it's free and we ALL know that the plot is going to eventually be relevant to the main KH storyline, seeing as this is basically the prequel to the Keyblade War).

The driving plot unfortunately doesn't begin until pretty far into the game (I HAVEN'T EVEN REACHED IT YET RIP) but we're!!! We're getting some cool story eventually, and the game isn't like horrendous to play. It's set up so you can do one or two missions while on the go, and each mission really only takes a minute, three tops to do, so it was extremely designed with smartphones in mind.

I dunno! I know some people who weren't that into it but I like it! I like it. And I can't wait to see it's story play out in full.



OTHER MISC THINGS

Mother 3's 10th anniversary was a little over a week ago! I did a blog post about it on my other blog, and, you should check it out! I talked about why I loved the game so much, and, why you should consider playing it yourself, lol.

I also talked about my hopes for an English localization of Mother 3, which seem to be more likely than ever? Even if you don't listen to the rumors, the out of nowhere localization of Mother 1 / Earthbound Beginnings last year, along with Mother 3's release on the Japanese Virtual Console back around Christmas... Well, that seems to point good places. And Nintendo definitely knows US fans want it. OH and it's the 10th anniversary and if they're gonna do it any time, well, this year seems like the best potential year.

SO YEAH, I'M EXCITED FOR THAT


SGDQ is!! coming!!! Not until July but they have their game schedule up already and I'm really excited to see some of these games broken in the name of a speedrun!

If you don't know what SGDQ is and why you should be hype, you should check out this post I made on tumblr.

Games I'm looking forward to:

  • Klonoa!!
  • Another blind Mario Maker Race!!! They did this last year, and, um, it was really good.
  • Super Mario Sunshine
  • Mario Kart Double Dash!!
  • FF6 done in 20 minutes because of the abuse of a real big glitch
  • Harry Potter: Chamber of Secrets, which was a kind of bad video  game adaption, of, well. You know. I owned this as a kid and am really interested in seeing what the hell they can do with it, lol.
  • SONIC 06!!! SONIC 06!!! S O N I C 0 6!!!!! This game is already broken as hell and I caaaaaaan't wait to see it broken in the name of speed
  • They're also doing SA2, and while it's probably also broken, I just love that trash game and, yanno
  • SUPER MARIO RPG!!! This is like the only one I'm really hyped for that I didn't see on the accepted list before the schedule went up, so it caught me by surprise, and I'm kind of interested!!! I'm not sure if it has any gamebreaking glitches (which are, like, the best kind of run to watch) BUT! Well. I'm hype.
These are only games I'm into, so, you should check the schedule and see if they're running any of your favorite games! And, consider tuning in (or watching old runs of your fave games on youtube in the meantime). It may seem like such a strange thing to be interested in, but, trust me, they're a lot of fun.

I'll probably post more about SGDQ here was we approach it, but if you for some reason aren't following me on tumblr and are interested in hearing me talk about SGDQ and other GDQ events, I have a tag for that on tumblr!





THAT'S ,UH,

THAT'S MAINLY IT!!!

I hope you enjoyed this look into what rar has been doing with her life.

See ya later.
