Hullo, dear fellow gamers! Hope you’re doing just fine, and enjoying life as much as I do. Following my last post, I finally had an epiphany and figured out the miracle way to manage my time and get things done: to use a planner and write things down at set dates. You do that, and voilà! Things happen just as planned! Well, that was easy enough, ain’t it? Taking the piss out of myself aside, this is the best — and probably only — way I can commit to a course of action. And so, here are my Summer 2022 Gaming Plans for your enjoyment — and mine!
July:
—
Start publishing some New
Classics posts. I have roughly 40 of them lined up, and it’s time to deliver
them to the world! I'm gonna roll with a pace of 2-3 posts a week, and we'll see how things evolve from there.
— Put together some shared features with fellow bloggers, starting with my dear Yvonne ^^
— Answer comments! Gosh, I’m so late it’s not even funny :/
— Fix errors in my World End Syndrom walkthrough — and replay the game while I’m at it. If there ever was a VN that was meant to be read in the summer, it’s definitely WES!
August:
— Play Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I know, I know; how can I ever think of playing that game after my tumultous love/hate relationship with XC2? The thing is, I love the Xenoblade combat and atmosphere. What I’m gonna do is play XC3 in easy mode — and play it a single time. No perennity or replaying pretence here; this is the type of sprawling game that is meant to be played once (and for all), and that’s exactly how I’m gonna play it.
— Tackle Pokemon X&Y solo runs starring Clauncher and Carbink. I’ve been itching to run with these two for years, and I’m gonna get down to it.
September:
— Start getting rid of the games that didn’t get a spot in my precious collection. The pawn shop is the easy way out; but I’m also seriously thinking of giving away the best ones through that blog. I’ll see how I proceed when September comes; in the meantime, dear fellow gamers, don’t hesitate to put an option on any game you’d like to get! ^^
— Take the first steps to make That Extra Level! its own website. I mean it. FOR REAL.
Well, that’s all for now! I’ll make sure all of this is done — and I’ll keep making such quarter plans from now on. It’s both relaxing and stimulating — and it gets things done! I’ll see you soon with some much-deserved gaming goodness, dear fellow gamers; keep doing your thing and take care! ^^
Seems like you've got lots of plans, Isleif! I'll be following your endeavors, as usual.
ReplyDeletePersonally, pawning off your games seems like a bad idea. Have you thought about checking their price on the internet and steadily selling them off on some national/international auction/sales web site? Just an idea, of course. Depending on the games you'll be wanting to dispatch, I'd even be interested to buy some off from you (plus shipping costs, of course).
And on another note, as a week-long Switch owner, I'll be reading some of your older posts to see if something catches my interest. Other than Nintendo first-party and some major games, I really don't know what hidden gems it has. As of now, SMT V and Kirby are more than enough, while I finish off my PS4 and Vita backlog.
Hello there, my friend! It's always a delight to read you ^^
DeleteLike I said, nothing has been decided yet regarding the destiny of the games I won't keep. I sure would like to sell them myself, if only for the joy of transmitting; but my time is in short supply, and that factor will have a say as well. Maybe I'll just use both options: for instance, I may pawn the more mainstream titles, and sell the nichest myself :P
Anyway, feel free to let me know about any game you may want in the meantime! :)
The Switch library is choke-full of gems, hidden as well as not. I laugh so hard at myself now dismissing the Switch some years ago — but hey, hindsight is always 20/20 :D
Oh, and I can already tell you that Shin Megami Tensei V won't get a spot in The Collection. I can keep it for you if you wish — all the more so as I have it boxed, unlike many of my games ^^
Delete>Maybe I'll just use both options: for instance, I may pawn the more mainstream titles, and sell the nichest myself
DeleteDefinitely the wisest decision. 90% of pawn shops either severely underprice or overprice the games.
>Anyway, feel free to let me know about any game you may want in the meantime! :)
Thanks! But honestly, I don't even know what you're going to "get rid of", but I'll be sure to let you know as you post.
>tell you that Shin Megami Tensei V won't get a spot in The Collection. I can keep it for you if you wish
I appreciate your gesture, but I already bought it and honestly I'll just keep that copy as is, open and all. Thanks again, though! :)
