It is official! I have completely fixed the camcorder!

categories: personal, RPGs; word count: 250 words

I’m not sure how I did it beyond changing a few video recording settings on the actual camcorder itself (which, in the grand scheme of things, seems banal)… but now I can record video on it and effortlessly upload that video to our laptop without any problems at all, which makes me really happy because now this laptop is not only salvageable but completely functional! I’m not sure why I didn’t think to do this sooner, but changing minor and almost banal settings on the camcorder shouldn’t have been something that completely restored the video settings on the videos from… what they used to be, these large black and green blocks that were unsalvageable messes. Of course, like I said in one of my previous entries here, with the pandemic continuing to go on there probably aren’t going to be that many videos made until this is completely over and done with. As an asthmatic, I am at elevated risk of complications if I do contract this — the kids, being as low-risk as they are, could asymptomatically incubate it for up to fourteen days, and in that time period they could effortlessly pass it on to me with all three of us being none the wiser to the fact that it had happened (until, well, it did, because I would have next to no asymptomatic period with my health history).

Meanwhile, I still think Lightning Returns is just… weird. In a really weird sort of way. Weird. It’s just weird.

Another bumpable song from this trilogy.

I don’t think Final Fantasy has ever made a song, or an inherently bad game, although I have… things to say about Lightning Returns — the game itself isn’t bad, I do like the storyline, I just hate the doomsday clock…

This is another one of my favorite songs from Final Fantasy XIII-2. I just love this game’s soundtrack.

Oerba’s theme songs will never not be my jam.

The puzzles were extremely annoying to solve in Final Fantasy XIII-2, but I absolutely love these songs!

I actually love the songs from this entire trilogy of games, even though I still haven’t finished Lightning Returns… I swear I’ll eventually get around to finishing it. I will, I will. I hate the doomsday clock mechanic.

So far, we are on day one of this game.

As predicted, wandering around (getting lost in) Midgar is great fun, but what’s not to be expected?

I think Bub is calmed down, and mellowed out, by Barret Wallace… if not a bit amused by him. This is how I approach activism and advocacy. So this should really have come as no surprise to me. It shouldn’t have…

My child sees enough of me in Barret Wallace to be comforted by him, and this is actually amusing to me.

Some things I’ve learned about in Animal Crossing.

And in general, because today is the day that Final Fantasy VII: the Remake came out! Actually came out!

I did not know about the concept of “time traveling” until now (such as going back to the most recent Sunday to buy turnips in case you missed the turnip NPC, whose name I almost always seem to forget until I actually see her), or turnip exchanges, which you can actually do on this site. Some of the more popular ones whose islands allow you to sell turnips for high Bell prices take… a little while to actually get in on (you know, getting high enough up in the queue to get the Dodo code to get in on the island), but for the islands with really high Bell prices, it kind of is worth it. I’ve participated in a few turnip exchanges so far, both on that site and with friends who have lucked out with high turnip sell rates, and now I’m participating in a Discord for Animal Crossing players over 25 (even if I’m primarily playing this game with Bub, I count as a player!).

We’ve also pre-loaded all of Final Fantasy VII: the Remake onto our PlayStation 4. Finally. The first… part. There was absolutely no way that I was going to start that at midnight when it “rolled out”. I may like games, but nowhere near that much. Nowhere near as much as I actually like sleeping, my friends. Games can wait. And although I wish that they had just put the whole remake into one game so that we could be one and done with it at some point, I mean, I really don’t mind that much. The remake got made, my friends.
