Lobster is the new

I think it's fair to say that ever since Animal Crossing: New Horizons came out, it dominated my my attention-span for the next 4 months.

Now that it's slowed down a bit, I'm dabbling back in a few staple games and watching some anime when available.

( Some games I've been playing )

( Anime and other shows )

OH and also going through webtoons lately. I may... make a post about that separately another day since that's a whole thing.

I accidentally spilled some water on the keyboard the other day, and so out of an abundance of caution, took off all the keycaps and let it sit upside down to dry for 48 hours to be safe.

It was actually hard to tell how much water could have gotten to the PCB since there was no easy way to unscrew the case without having to mess up the glue on the rubber feet I think, but it didn't look like there was much to begin with, only some small droplets near the arrow and shift keys, I could only see some water just where the the Shift Key stabilizer holes were. Funny thing was I was thinking of taking off the keycaps recently to inspect how dirty it may be between the keys, but besides one random cat hair, it was actually pretty spotless, to my delight.

I'm just really happy it seems to be working okay, since I did unplug it as soon as I realized where the water spilled. Some sources online were saying that some mechanical keyboards can even survive a full submersion under water if you spilled something like coffee or soda on it, but you'd have to use distilled water and wait a week to dry for it to be okay?? That kind of surprised me, but I suppose it makes sense that it wouldn't be harmed as long as it was completely dry afterwards and no residue left behind might cause a short circuit.

Took the time to let the keyboard rest to just take a day from the computer, hopefully I didn't miss much since I was just on a roll to replying to a bunch of people at once too, then I had to drop off the face of the earth for a day.

So season 3 of Miraculous Ladybug is finally on Netflix, and half of me went "Why did no one tell me this??" and also "I dunno if I'm even excited for this anymore"

Which mostly means I will be watching all the episodes so I can gain context again, but tumblr has kinda scared me away from even really trying to get back into that particular fandom again. At least, I think I'll go back and read some fanfics if I can spare the time, but I've just been consumed by more interesting media nowadays.

I found that I think I actually really like DRPGs? Or at least the way Labyrinth of Refrain has been introducing me, I've been having fun with the vaguest sense of RPing some OCs within the game as the story progresses. My first introduction to a DRPG game was the Etrian Odyssey 4 demo, and I think the manual map-drawing for that game went just a step too far for me. 

Bravely Second has been my stand-in Final Fantasy game as the group plays FFXIV, but I don't have a PC set-up that could even run it properly. Not to mention me getting into an MMO at this time just feels like a bad idea.

I've been self-indulgent the last 2 days with making icons and I forgot how fun it was. Making them quickly too which I guess could be a good or bad thing? My tastes have skewed more simplistic icons with custom color blend modes I make in photoshop, so that honestly takes a lot less time than combing through different texture packs like I used to do. The other part is just using my graphic design production skills that have been mostly out of use but I'm happy that I can still do simple animations and typography quickly. I think that's the one thing that may take time, being to have a reliable set of fonts to go through again.
