20230629 Deep Space Domain Lord's Weekly Journal Chapter.37

Hey everyone! It's that time of the week again—time for another weekly journal!

When I went in for my follow-up appointment on Wednesday, it unexpectedly started pouring! It's been a while since I've been out in the rain. I used to absolutely hate going out in heavy rain. I've bought those two-piece rain suits (jacket + pants), and I've worn those long poncho-style ones, but no matter what kind of raincoat I use, my shoes always end up completely soaked. If you wear sneakers or canvas shoes, you wear socks, right? But raincoats just can't keep your socks dry! I've tried using those waterproof shoe covers, but after a few times I found them to be a huge hassle and honestly kind of useless—you still get wet anyway... But this time, maybe because it's been so long since I've walked in the rain (or maybe just because I was wearing sandals?), it actually felt surprisingly nice!

Earlier this week, I finally finished watching *My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999*, which I recommended to you all last time! The anime ended exactly where I thought it would, and Yamada-kun looked incredibly cool at the end of the final episode! He always seems so aloof and rarely smiles, so the sheer destructive power of that sudden smirk was way too much! I guarantee even guys would be swooning over him! Haven't watched it yet? I highly recommend checking it out! Once you finish the anime, you can pick up the manga, which gets super sweet later on. It's the perfect feel-good series if you're looking for a sugar rush!

I fired up *Jump King* this afternoon, and oh my god, it's so hard!!! I thought since I conquered *Getting Over It* and got the golden pot, I'd be able to jump to the top pretty quickly (I was even secretly worrying about what I'd do if I beat it too fast). I'm feeling a little humbled now... I really wish I could just fully immerse myself in practicing and beating the game, but I feel like I have so little time and so much to do. How do you fully dedicate yourself to "getting good at a game"? (Is it a total luxury to even want to do that?)

Plus, there are so many other games I want to practice, like *Apex Legends* and *Sekiro*... Remember that highlight clip I shared last time about why I love playing Soulslikes? Thinking about it now, I want to add one more thing: besides the massive sense of accomplishment you get from beating these super tough games, you also get a lot of validation and praise from everyone. I think that's why I want to perform even better! (Even though you guys already praise me a ton normally, LOL. But getting praised right when you clear a game just hits different!) I'm pretty competitive too, so I want to get even better!

Anyway, I'm going to work hard at practicing *Jump King* so I can pull off a spectacular clear for you all next time—and then you can shower me with praise! Heck yeah! (Just want to emphasize that I do see all your everyday praises, too!)

Oh, right! I heard there's a *Splatoon* Splatfest coming up in July—let's find some time to play together then! I also want to try out that soccer game from the tournament last time. There's just not enough time, ugh! I still want to play some *Zelda*, *Only Up!*, the games I bought before but haven't played yet, some recently released horror games, finish *Sekiro*, and play the *Devil May Cry 5* DLC... And the Steam Summer Sale is about to start... someone save me... (RIP Deep Space Mian)

Alright, I don't have any light novel recommendations this week, so that's going to be it for this journal! See you next time! Byeeeee!

I place one hand-drawn cotton face-down and end my turn!
