Today’s Japanese reviews were very chaotic and split across multiple blocks: I’ve definitely destroyed my SRS timing for a lot of reviews, and knowing that tomorrow I’ll need to do some reviews at 1am will be very weird, but hey, bank holidays, not working on Friday, we just have tomorrow to survive.

I got my delivery from Japanese Amazon with some of the things I’ll be reading over for the Summer Marathon, already managed to unpack them, but today I wanted to focus on a different thing in my Public Diary :tm:, so just leaving this as a placeholder for now ^^


Life

A while back I was using a mental health app where you could track in your mood and select one of five smilies depending on how you felt a day has went, and I was very hesitant to use both ends of the scale in the app back then…
…in the case that a day like today happens ^^

Today was the happiest I’ve been in a very. Very. Very long time. I’ve had a lot of great days this year already, but if there’s a day I want to remember in five years from now, make it today C:

So quick start, new nails today!


Hmmm, I wonder where they came from, maybe from a guy I was interested in (who turned out not to be a guy at all) ^^

Then, on my way back from work, it turned out that my favorite fizzy drink, Spezi, IS ON A DISCOUNT, WOOO


Having realized that, I stocked up on 10 cans xdddd

Then, went back home and created a completely custom design of a card to be printed on a photo printer that I wanted to give to random people when I go on the Midnight Launch, and I printed it in 20 copies C:


Spoiler for this one: people took those cards eagerly and they were out really, really quickly ^^

And if you were there for the Deltarune Tomorrow meme that’s been around forever at this point, I was so hyped to see Deltarune Chapter 3 and 4 come out, that I preloaded it at 5pm and started playing it immediately on my Switch 1 ^^
I still haven’t finished Chapter 3 yet, but I’m just in front of the final boss for the chapter, so DELTARUNE YESTERDAY, IT HAPPENED :DDDDDD

Congrats to Toby Fox for having shipped it!

After I went through a few hours of Deltarune, I started getting ready for the midnight launch, arrived at midnight aaaaand oh God xdddd


There were at least 500 people waiting in the line to get the console, and everyone was given plenty of freebies, a pretty durable tote bag, a notebook, a pen, some pins, really cool things ^^

I ended up chatting to random Icelandic student pair ahead of me that were relatively into Nintendo, but not into jRPG, and I was trying to sell them on the idea of Fire Emblem and Xenoblade Chronicles, but hey, time well spent C:

Also, I hinted at this yesterday, but Minimoli, the German Nintendo YouTuber who I watch sometimes, crossed 100 thousand subscribers today and I managed to met her in person at the midnight launch ^^
We traded a few opinions together and I asked her to take and instax together and she did, how famous is that ^^
On top of that, one of the 20 cards made above ended up with her, I don’t know if she liked it, or is she going to use the card in any way, shape or form, but I’m happy she took it ^^

And then, something like half an hour in, was finally my time to get in C:

And whoops, I know I said I wouldn’t buy Nintendo Switch 2 today, but whoopsie daisy xddd
I’ll cancel my preorder at the Media Markt tomorrow ^^

I swear, it’s 3:30am and I have to wake up in just a few short hours. It’s the shortest sleep I’ll have this whole year so far, but oh well, I’ve had so much fun today that I don’t mind being aBSOLUTELY DEAD every once in a while ^^

Man..........

I’m so content.

With everything that happened today, including Deltarune, Mario Kart World’s Star Cup, including people I spoke with, the atmosphere at the office, my productivity, my friends, aAAAAA xddd

I’m gonna crash really bad tomorrow, but until then, this is the happiest you’ll see GolyBidoof being for a while ^^
