    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.
