#i really hope they don't rerelease the old music
Note
Hello!! 1, 4, 10, 18, and 22 for the End of the Year ask game please 😊
ONE Song of the Year: My Spotify Wrapped claims for me it was the Placebo cover of Running Up That Hill, which is admittedly on almost every single one of my playlists, but I think it was actually Meet Me in the Woods by Lord Huron, because I listened to it a billion times while writing my NaNo project.
FOUR Movie of the Year: The Boy and the Heron, both because it was great and also it was the only good theater experience I had all year that wasn't a rerelease like Titanic and The Lion King lol, people at our home theater are very poorly behaved. ;;
TEN Something that Made You Cry This Year: LOL WELL I lost my job a couple weeks ago and that has been some VERY MIXED EMOTIONS including a lot of hysterical crying. It was an extremely toxic work place I was trying to get out of anyway (museum board full of old white men who hated me, boss is/was an alcoholic mean girl - no exaggeration, has driven home drunk from work lunches with her kid in the car and been blackout throwing up in her office after work events - who had a toady work bff who also hated me, no health insurance, making $26/hr despite having an MA and living somewhere where rents start at $2,000 a month) but my boss basically reamed me out right before Thanksgiving telling me I was the worst person ever, had a bunch of provably false claims about how bad an employee I was (never meeting deadlines, making other people do my work for me, never attending events or suggesting ideas for programs, all bullshit I had ample evidence to refute) and told me I could either quit now and be paid through February or be on like mega probation indefinitely, so I came back from the holiday like alright I quit, they're like cool actually this is a budgetary thing and not at all personal, we're SO SORRY this didn't work out also we can only afford to pay you through mid January, so now I'm unemployed applying to a million jobs and scared about money but also I'm free??? So there's been a lot of on and off weeping/grieving and it's kinda ruined the holidays for me lol. But also hopefully it'll pivot to a much better paying and stable job somewhere closer to home, so fingers crossed.
Don't get into the museum field, folks, it sucks here.
EIGHTEEN A Memorable Meal This Year: For Valentine's Day, @heystovepipeboys and I made a bunch of recipes from Last Dinner on the Titanic, which was SUPER FUN. I love historic cooking/baking and have had the cookbook forever, but had never made anything from it before and everything was INCREDIBLE. We made cream of barley soup, chicken Lyonnaise, chateau potatoes and asparagus, and then got eclairs from a bakery near us and the Harney & Sons Titanic tea blend, which is supposed to be similar to the special blend they served on the ship. We listened to period music the whole time we cooked and then we went to see Titanic in theaters for its anniversary rerelease.
TWENTY TWO Favorite Place You Visited This Year: hmmm very tough call. My parents very generously took the fam on a Disney cruise to Alaska this summer which was a childhood dream of mine, and wifey and I had an awesome trip to Old Sturbridge Village in MA for their Halloween event, which was probably the best Halloween themed thing I've ever done. They set up the museum with a bunch of themed performances by a bunch of traveling circus performers who are Definitely Not Vampires and everything was really spooky and fun. Would super recommend if anyone is looking for fun Halloween things to do in New England next year.
Thank you for the ask!! Hope you are enjoying a relaxing end to this weird year.

July 2nd, 2023 - Etrian Odyssey III HD
I had heard good things about this one and I gotta say, it's a decent Etrian Odyssey game. With this one, Atlus made plenty of improvements to how everything worked which makes things feel a bit nicer. Now you can earn EXP from sidequests and missions. Not only that, but one way shortcuts now display a message. Unfortunately, the messages don't tell you that they're one way.
This time around, we don't have geomagnetic poles every few floors. In this game, they're called submagnetic poles and only appear on the first floor of each labyrinth, which aside from the post-game one, only have four floors instead of the usual five. I'm not really surprised because I knew this one did things a bit differently (like EOIV). Once you reach a certain point, you'll go back and forth between two different towns: Armoroad and the drowned city, where you can set a sub-class for the first time ever in the series.
You only have to make it through two stratums. Afterwards, the next three stratums play the second main battle theme instead of waiting until the fourth like before, which makes sense considering how you start the third after finding the deep city. In the original DS version, the battle music in post-game stratum was just the second theme because of a memory issue. Since the modern platforms the remaster is on have more room, the sixth stratum got a new and way more fitting track for battles.
And the soundtrack is one of Etrian Odyssey's best. Overall, I did like my time with this one. The stratums were decent for the most part, but the fifth one gave me a headache with one of its gimmicks. To be honest, I'd say these remasters are definitely the best way to play the DS versions (even though DS touch screen feels nicer). The updated controls work well and the games still feel like Etrian Odyssey. I'd love to see more of the old games get remastered (Untold remakes on 3DS are better though). Looking forward to seeing IV, V, Nexus, getting rereleased and hoping that we'll hear about VI.

I am kind of hoping that Taylor gets her rights before rep so she doesn't have to rerecord that one tbh. But I also kind of want the horny vault songs. I am excited for the rerecords but those predicted timelines are kind of depressing, I don't want to be demanding because I know these things take a long ass time, but I also think that she is a smart businesswoman and she knows that if she just keeps rereleasing old stuff until 2024 and doesn't put out anything new, people will get bored
I really want the vault songs too but the vocals and mixing on rep (and 1989 tbh) are fine as is, and don't ~need to be rerecorded if that makes sense? I know that's not why she's doing it but still.
It's probably better for her to space things out though, because doing them all in one year would be too difficult and the GP would also get tired of her. And if anything, it results in higher first week numbers because she's not oversaturating herself.
I also don't think TS10 should drop until 2023/24, like as much as I'd want new music asap, it just makes more sense to wait longer because she's been releasing stuff non-stop recently?
