Digest Vol. 119: Not long weekend

Posted on by

Preface

More like one wasted holiday because it’s on Saturday. And then there’s this Ore no Yome event I attended the first time as well.

Event memo

Ore no Yome, a hug pillow event. Yeah, it’s a thing. Apparently this is the 23rd. Held at PiO event hall.

The place is actually only 5km away from my place so I rode bicycle to go there. Thankfully the weather is pretty good with a lot of clouds and no rain. I forgot to bring water though.

I think I arrived around 2:30. The event starts at 1. AMR has sold out when I arrived. And has went back home when I actually look for it.

The hall itself is pretty small with company booth on one side, flea market on another side, and circles in the middle.

There’s also a draw for something but I didn’t bother waiting so I don’t know what it’s about.

Entrance isn’t free just like almost any other events but Comiket. It costed 1000.

Put simply, I entered the hall, walked around a bit, realized I should buy the thing I wanted first so I did that, loitered around and finally went back home. With transportation it took about 2 hours total. Mainly because I didn’t after anything high profile so there’s no queue at all.

Eroge playthrough

Finished Hanayo route. Took a bit longer than I hoped as usual.

Now at Urara route. I think I’m halfway through her route. Seems to be relatively good so far.

Non-eroge

Everything except FGO is on back burner until I finish Kamiyaba.

Wasting money

Bought the latest stylus Hanamakura series pillow cover designed by Ikegami Akane \o/

Also placed some the planned pre-orders. Nothing much else.

Sold some more stuff including unused graphics card and earphones. The last two were won by a new user with zero reputation. I hope they actually pay for the thing.

There isn’t much else for this month. Well, it’s ending next week anyway.

Oh, apparently this is the last post for this month. I survived this month well. Might even break the savings record since 2015. Barring anything unexpected, I should be able to invest in something by next or following month. Though maybe I’ll just wait until next year because preparing the documents until then will be annoying since it involves going to Shibuya Ward Office.

Just remembered I should also send the stuff for Suruga-Ya. The box has been taking my room precious space for a while now. That one is going to be solved in different way by getting a wire shelf thingy but I should still send it regardless.

Digest Vol. 118: Long weekend

Preface

Got even lazier this whole weekend. Need more holidays.

Eroge

Finished Yukari and Mao routes.

Yukari route is pretty good overall. Her way of talking really got into me after a while. Thankfully she takes of her eye-patch in most H-scenes and no stupid hair covering the eyes. I like her route most (at the moment).

Also finished Mao route. Her reactions are pretty interesting. The simplest so far because she’s not one of the main heroines but I think it’s pretty good nonetheless. Especially liked the ending which closes up things well.

Current at Hanayo route. Not much into it yet but the beginning feels similar to Nanami route.

Finishing her route, up next would be the last one Urara’s which for some reason isn’t needed to unlock the two other sub heroines routes.

Non-eroge

Still haven’t catch up on anime.

A bit behind in FGO as well because there just isn’t enough rate booster items I have. I hope I can at least grab all non-figure materials and then go full gacha box.

And hey, one free SR servant of choice is coming up. Finally can get Astolfo \o/

Wasting money

Sold some stuff this week. I probably should start lowering starting bid of some items already…

Not sure if I will put up some more stuff this week.

Haven’t sent stuff to Suruga-Ya either. Really should do that soon-ish.

As Sagaplanets announced their next title, the budgeting is also updated. If going well, I just grab the game (and bonus) from Amazon and get the rest from usual YJA guy. Currently looking at getting all drama CDs (first time from Sagaplanets) and tapestries except Eroina Heroina. I’m guessing a spending of 30-50k for them all.

Meanwhile back to Cube’s Yurauka, looking at the stuff I’m getting from stores and then potential from YJA, it looks like I may save more by buying everything directly from stores. Which is weird. Mainly because the usual guy increased the minimum stuff for free shipping to 6 items which is way above what I need from him (which is only three or maybe four). In the end, I will probably end up with stacks of Yurauka game box. I hope they’ll sell for at least 5000 yen. There’s web store version of shikishi as well which I don’t care about and will also sell for hopefully 500 yen each? According to twitter, this kakao guy is quite popular so I hope the price holds up.

Digest Vol. 117: Suddenly fast

Preface

I’m not sure why but suddenly this blog feels much faster than before. I don’t remember making any major changes apart of resetting blocksize to default and perhaps updating PHP.

Oh well, great. Apparently I tuned some OPcache parameters earlier last week.

Eroge playthrough

Finished Nanami arc. Just like Suzuna, hers is relatively simple and looking again, it’s pretty short.

Now almost halfway through Yukari. She sure is the best heroine =D

Long weekend next week and nothing major planned so I should be able to finish everything by then.

Will play sequels after this as planned months ago.

Non-eroge playthrough

A bit stalled on anime except for Youshitsu.

A bit too much FGO on the other hand. Whoops.

Wasting money

Placed some pre-orders and stuff. And finally got this Kantoku tapestry. Or at least it was up for sale and I immediately grabbed it. Hopefully it’s not some kind of dumb mistake.

Sold quite a lot of stuff as well which balanced the spending.

Finally sorted all the doujin books and now left with around 100 books for disposal. Putting them up for auction sounds pretty annoying because most of them will be put up for only around 100-500 yen which is not really worth the effort. I will probably end up just dumping them to Suruga-Ya after asking around if anyone want some of the stuff. Probably.

Digest Vol. 116: What now

Preface

Uneventful week.

Eroge playthrough

Finished Suzuna route.

Now in Nanami. Almost halfway, I think? Pretty fast considering I only started this weekend.

Non-eroge stuff

Slowing down with FGO. Still need more high level servants to clear the highest level quests. Also need to actually finish the main story.

A bit behind on anime and no progress on light novels.

Wasting money

Chikotam pillow cover incoming! RIP 10k.

And then there’s also Melonbooks Uribou tapestries incoming. Looks like I’ll spend at least 21k for those.

Hatsujou Sprinkle pillow cover also up for pre-order but I’m holding back this time to buy it at one of the later events because shipping is almost 1k. Closest event would be character1 oct.2017.

Didn’t buy anything major otherwise this whole week. Good job, me. Or maybe just there’s nothing left to buy. Ha.

It’s of course still early to be happy.

Sold a few stuff this week. Fewer than hoped because I put up about 20 new stuff last week. I probably set the starting bid a bit too high. At least I should get about 12k if nothing goes wrong.

Will put up more stuff later this week.  Including some computer stuff.
