20230511 Deep Space Domain Lord Weekly Journal Chapter 30

Journal entry number thirty! Hell yeah! After reading thirty of these, do you guys have a better idea of what I'm into?

This week, after my streams wrapped up, I've just been grinding Getting Over It. Before I knew it, my clear count hit 42! I finally broke the 10-minute barrier, and even got it under 8 minutes! It feels incredibly rewarding! When you guys praise me at moments like this, it actually feels deserved lol.

I'm planning to push all the way to the golden pot in one sitting this Sunday! Hopefully, I don't choke while I'm live LMAO. It would be amazing if I could break the 5-minute mark in one go!

Lately, my streams have been entirely focused on gaming. I feel like packing the sessions close together helps you guys follow the story and keeps the momentum going. It's also perfect for my own pacing and schedule—being able to clear a game in one or two weeks feels fantastic! That said, maybe I should sprinkle in some more laid-back, Just Chatting streams for you all? So, I'll schedule some chill streams for next week before we officially dive into Sekiro on hard mode with the Demon Bell! After Sekiro, I might pick up Zelda (gotta see if my wallet is crying first, though).

I finally got around to playing Devil May Cry 5 last week after letting it sit in my library forever! It surprisingly seemed to bring in a lot of new viewers? After finishing it, I strongly felt that I needed a controller, so I ordered one online and should get it next week! I'll be able to use it for Sekiro, too! Though I might end up playing even worse with a controller than with a mouse and keyboard LMAO.

Resident Evil Village gave me major déjà vu. Maybe it's just because farms and factories overseas all kind of look like that, so the in-game models feel super similar? Compared to RE7 though, my courage has definitely leveled up! Looking back, I have no idea what I was so terrified of back then LMAO (it's true what they say: fear just stems from a lack of firepower). I wouldn't say I'm completely fearless now, but I at least got through it pretty smoothly! (Or maybe that's just because I played on Normal difficulty...)

I won't be streaming on 5/15! That's because I'll be looping (G)I-DLE's new MV all day. The music video for their pre-release track "Allergy" just dropped. It's a song about girls dealing with appearance anxiety, social media pressure, and relationship insecurities. In the MV, the girls envy each other, asking themselves: Why aren't I pretty? Why aren't I sexy? Why can't I be her? In a desperate bid to be more popular, to be beautiful, and to become a queen, one of them decides to get plastic surgery, hoping to become her idealized self. The upbeat melody contrasts beautifully with the complex, anxious, and insecure feelings of the girls. I highly recommend you all give it a listen!

Since the song is just an absolute banger, I'm going crazy waiting for the 15th LMAO. I wish I could just blink and wake up on 5/15 ughhh. This is probably exactly how everyone feels agonizing over the wait for Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, right?

No novel recommendations this week! I'm still slowly catching up on the latest chapters for the ones I'm reading, so I'll hold off on recommending anything for now!

Here's a screenshot of my 7-minute Getting Over It run!
