The Velvet Newsletter Vol 12 - Bakamitai
The newsletter is a day late this week because I inhaled Infinite Wealth. This volume is going to be short as hell because I inhaled Infinite Wealth. So it goes, but goddamn if it wasn't worth it.
What I'm Playing
I said this volumn would be short! I didn't write a damn thing this week, I just worked, worked out, and played Infinite Wealth for most of the week. I loved it! Mostly. You can see my inital notes in the link above, but I have a lot of thoughts to parse through that'll take some time to put together. And I will - I've taken many, many secret notes right on this very garden that will surface soon.
Beyond that, I finished the campaign for Granblue Fantasy - Relink (2024). You can see my thoughts for that as well. I enjoyed it! I'm curious to see how end-game goes - and now that I'm free from my Yakuza prison I can dig into that with Morgan. Think I'm gonna go Vane/Katalina for my mains because I am as usual Support-brained.
Up next is probably going to be Persona 3: Reloaded. Xbox took my money for GamePass for the month - I was too slow to cancel lol. So I may as well dig into it until I spend all my time with Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth.
Velvet Album
Takeharu Ishimoto recently dropped an album of The World Ends With You acoustic covers, and they're very good! Check them out.

Status Update
I'm good - this week was pretty rough but at least Kiryu and Ichiban were there to comfort me during these trying times. It'll be nice to divert my attention to other things again, at least for a few weeks - one of the curses of my ADHD is that I either have too much trouble focusing, or focus way too much on something, and with Infinite Wealth it was definitely the latter.
