Fitness - Update

I'm actually in a much better place.  I've taken significant steps to address the really immediate pressures in my life that caused me to panic, including school, money, family, and work.  Things are calmer.  I'm ready to take this on.

More tonight.

FFVI - Part 80: Light the Way Out


Summary: My final thoughts on Final Fantasy VI.

I hadn't put these up before, because I hadn't written them. This was difficult. It's hard for me to even summarize how deeply this game impacted me.

It ended up being more personal than I intended, and I apologize for rambling.

TW: suicide, depression

FFVII – Part 1: Factory Settings

What time is it?  Final Fantasy VII time!






Things I know about this game:

1) Sephiroth is a character in it.  A villain if I had to guess, since I've heard his name in the same breath as Kefka's.

2) The game's logo makes it look like an FFIV:TAY style moon crashing into the earth.

3) It was on the PlayStation.  (I'll be playing the PC version.)

4) People like it.

5) ???

Let's go!

Summary: We set the scene. A high-tech city. We meet two party members, the spiky-haired supersword wielding Cloud and gun-handed Barret. They are part of Avalanche, infiltrating a reactor.
