Almost finished setting the Thor up, but man is iiSU really promising. Can't wait to see it progress more and more. ...Also can't wait for their own in-house game scrapers to launch as well, because the ones provided are hit or miss a fair bit, especially Screenscraper.

I still have quite a bit of work to do setting everything up, but I love this thing so far. And the current iiSU build just makes me excited for the full release.

Left home way earlier than I needed to for the pickup, but hey, I have it now~

Here's to hoping my Thor reaches the pick-up point by the time I leave for work. Super excited to play around with it~

...This is gonna be a reoccurring thing with my Thor, isn't it.

So is mine~

And finally home.

Airport.

While this has been a fun few days, it'll soon be time to return home.

"Hmm, I feel like I didn't grab that many things." I say as I stare at the big pile of shirts I bought. Including the two I got today.

19.) Anime Expo 2026 Still firmly a "go there for official merch and panels" kind of con. I wasn't at midnight mahjong, but from what I heard, that got too chaotic. (Honestly, it getting as big as it did is a reason why I didn't go.) I mainly use it as a break from work and to meet pals, but yeah.

Yep. Back here again.

Yeah, I was surprised at how nice it was~

Day 1 grabs. Really liked the playing cards the most, surprisingly. Another nice plus was meeting a longtime pal IRL for the first time.

I've learned that the Yard House here has Asahi. Guess what my first half yard is.

Feels nice to be back. Forgot to grab Saori, but it's probably for the best for at least today.

Hotel infiltration successful.

Made it past the security checkpoint. Now to wait for my flight...

Just about finished packing. Seems like someone wants to tag along. (Just be warned to expect a *lot* of Saori chocopuni over the next few days.)

Currently a basic as hell setup with only one drive because lol price hikes have also started hitting HDDs, but it's still something to work with!

Forgot about her. She looks even sleepier than Sleeping Beauty from Mary Skelter, who looks more bored than sleepy, though she still talks pretty sleepily.

Again, I wish Steam had a timer for upcoming games releasing. You do it for sales, why can't I have it here instead of this shit? You don't even have to get rid of the "approxinately", either.

These weren't as bad as I thought they were gonna be. Dare I say, they were pretty decent.

16.) Echoes of Aincrad (Demo) I was already planning on buying the game, so the demo was a nice cherry on top. I'm really liking the gameplay and combat so far, and it does its best enforcing SAO's feel and aesthetic.

They ran out of chocolate, but this is just as good~

Definitely gonna be getting some funnel cake. It's also been ages since I last had some.
