I bought it last week, they are so expensive, aren't they?
But I finally, chat, I came to a realization.
I have hobbies.
I like lifting, and I like kanji, studying kanji.
I take walks.
Music is probably the chillest thing.
And people are like, yeah, but like, do you have a life?
And I'm like...
What, those can't be life?
No.
And...
I got the thinking, like, hobbies that also spur on personal growth, say like training, exercise, that's fine, but it's also kind of like...
They definitely, I mean, lifting has its dull moments and its very high friction moments.
There's nothing really that I've dabbled with for like a year now.
I guess FFXIV, but even, honestly, that's just been, like, time-sink mode more than anything lately.
And I was like, I kinda wanna, I kinda wanna rebuild my retro games collection, because I lost all of my old shit, most of my old shit back in 2017-18, roughly.
No, earlier, sorry.
15-16.
Um...
And for reasons beyond my control.
And I want most of that back.
So I'm slowly gonna start rebuilding my retro library.
And that right there, Pokemon HeartGold, is my favorite Pokemon game.
That's a good start.
Full box, like, cardboard box, and then the DS box, and then manuals, PokeWalker game, everything is in there.
So pumped.
So pumped.
