Alright, definitely better today 
I mostly played 999 which was super fun as always, and I read a few pages of 風つよ and oh man are they going through it lmao. ハイジ said no mercy 
A bit of 999
I was definitely warned about 999 going off into scientific territory and it’s sure happening It’s cool though! Not as much of a nightmare as I might have thought, actually; since it’s already supposed to be an explanation even for people who are fluent, it kinda guides you through it I suppose?
Anyway, 紫 has been talking about dry ice and freezing and melting points and such while we’re in a freezer, サンタ’s gonna freeze to death in his tank top dude and it’s pretty cool seeing the words for all these things! I like 固体, 液体, and 気体, pretty intuitive. Of course, in typical 999 fashion, the sciencey stuff is tinged with conspiracy theory-type things, so that’s also a fun time.
八代 also managed to sum up 999 pretty well:
All in all a good reading day! It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you’re not super tired

Speaking of what you can accomplish when your brain works, I circled back around to this and it makes way more sense, thank you!
