Vol 7 - I got one more in me
Last letter of the year. The next one will be for GOTY.
Interesting Stuff
Messenger of Allah
Brief notes on a thing people may not know about.
Slam Odyssey
Yesterday I learned that the guy who made Slam Dunk is the character artist for Lost Odyssey. That's pretty cool.
Pepsi Man

His 3D model was created by Kotaro Uchikoshi. Yes, the Zero Escape guy. That was the start of his career. Somehow this makes perfect sense to me.
Nanoleaf Lights
I got some and they are nice. I'm trying to sit in the dark less. This helps with that, uh, somewhat. I can least set it to fluorescent when I need to.

Writing
Games I'm Looking Forward to in 2024
The year's gonna suck, probably, but at least the games will be fun. Hopefully.
2023 Reflections
I wrote a bunch:
Check back this time next year to see if there's any major change lol.
What I'm Playing
I promised I'd get weird about Ultrakill in 2024, but it looks like I've started early. Still inhaling Dragon Quest Monsters - The Dark Prince now that it's more stable. Some friends were gracious enough to gift me some games that I'm dipping into as well, like Sackboy: A Big Adventure and Triangle Strategy.
Velvet Single
Not so much an album but I keep listening to Endless Possibilities for some reason. Maybe to try and feel better lol.
Status Update
Eh, pretty bad tbh. Keep on crashing and the Rejection Sensitivity has been off the charts. I'd like to find a therapist, cognitive behavioral or otherwise to get some help. I'll be looking with the start of the new year, since that also comes with new healthcare. Here's hoping things improves because it's rough out here. Sorry if that's too personal lol.
In other news, the garden is now on Obsidian Publish, and can be found at thevelvet.garden. This'll help me streamline my writing even more, so I might even get regular with this newsletter. Here's hoping. o7
Otherwise I'm just taking some time off from the internet again.
