your dream is not in vain
Slept in really late this morning; didn't wake up until 9AM, but I needed it. I am constantly going to bed too late during the week, which doesn't work well with my weight training workouts as my muscles never quite have the chance to recover and there's always some pain. After that sleep, I am back to 100%. I actually remembered to do my laundry and tidy up after work yesterday, so it's a lazy weekend, except for cooking. Which is very much a weekend activity since I never have time to cook during the week, so it feels like a leisure time task.
I'm going to fry the last of my Hokkaido potatoes with some mushrooms and onions. Usually I'd add fresh dill, too, but finding fresh dill in Japan is quite difficult - some tiny organic stores sometimes carry it but usually I end up using parsley instead. Which isn't bad; I love parsley, but... fresh dill. ;_;
Going to finish Nanotale today and maaaybe go back to Yonder. I really enjoy Yonder but some of the collectible achievements require you to wait until a particular season to collect the item/s, which takes a long time sometimes. My attention doesn't really want to focus in that way lately (do other things in-game while keeping in mind that if the right season hits I have to go and do something else). My strategy in RPGs is usually to complete one zone/biome first as completely as I can (main quests, side quests, etc) before moving elsewhere, but that's pretty much impossible in Yonder unless you use a walkthrough (which I don't like to do unless I'm well and truly stuck).
That was something that kinda bugged me about Garden Story, too, particularly needing things from other zones to get equipment upgrades in your current one, all of them unlocking at the same time (as you raise the zone/settlement level). I prefer the methodical approach: one thing at a time, but the way it works in Garden Story, you're better off farming a little from every zone each day until you have all the items to get ALL the things. Keeping many things in the air at the same time gives me stress. Garden Story needs better fast travel, too. Their latest update promised that but all I found was a couple of new bridges, which don't count as fast travel. :P
