But I'm still so lousy at finding work to get my dough in...

Better start with income support...

I know I haven't said much as of late, since I still lurk in Tumblr. But, the 4Chan-raid there (Google it up) is being pretty severe, despite me staying in the safe grounds simply. The raid's having plans enough to go into cyber-terrorism. So I'm spending less time there now...

Nevertheless, I got plenty of money from my summer job- even if some sum of it had to be given to my family for either traditional reasons or helping them out in general.. I don't mind them getting what they should or helping, but the amount of money they take is no short of excessive.

But I did my investments on a drawing tablet (Wacom Intuos Pen & Touch Small), Kirby Triple Deluxe and LOZ: Link Between Worlds. I still think majority of money went to necessities and most of all, my family.  (-l´l); (But another payday's still out there with my second, final working period. I get to keep my money from there)

The tablet must be something I've needed for long time (at the moment at least) - I can finally jump to draw stuff anytime I wish, which has led experiment and observe my progression during doing art.
Not to mention using it along with SAI Tools feels so intuitive! I notice I get easily distracted though when trying to shape up my sketches, so I stick to traditional methods for those phases. I'm really liking what I've discovered though, because as of now, I'm now trying to go for making each "phase" feel comfortable, versatile and fun. And I'm doing pretty effective progress!

I also am not going for quick "doodling" anymore because frankly, I'm not that good at art yet and even then, it's basically short-term reward thing which has been a rotten habit I've been plagued with for all these years. Shortly I'm trying to get accustomed on with long-term working in order to combat that with drawing. It feels pretty relieving.

But maan, aren't I enjoying Triple Deluxe - as much as it might seem like same formula from Kirby's Return to Dreamland, it somehow has more "going on" in the levels! The 3D layers are in big play with the stages having foreground and background parts that interact with each other constantly (Such as Dees creating mischief in some form or there being mirror-based puzzles in some levels.)
 I especially like the Hypernova-segments, with their little fun puzzles or visual gags it produces.  Bosses and minibosses also take advantage of the background + foreground play, creating quite genuinely and pretty new ways of attacking and approaching. Also, the use of the gyro sensor puzzles has to be one of the most creative yet easy to control-experiences I've had so far in the 3DS-system! This game's really well-crafted!!

I found Bell Kirby's attack sounds beyond hilarious though -speaking which, the Copy Abilities are still top notch, and I enjoy the new ones a plenty - Beetle seems to edge being most powerful and fun of all. The music is also more polished and variable, from circus-tunes to lush jungle lands! It quite compliments well on the level themes. Fun fun fun!


Link Between Worlds is almost like a callback to my childhood with being quite easy to access and get into and having an access to the whole overworld at once, creating this sweet sense of adventure. It's just quite fine and dandy! The wall-merging mechanic just enforces this even more, being perhaps one of the most innovative gimmicks in my times of videogaming. The use of it just goes out of the boundaries of my logic and imagination: it's just applicable in so many places and where you can go depending on the wall level your at, it opens up for humongous amount of puzzles and exploration! Ravio's also such a funny guy, loving him already. I'm sad that he has no relation with Nabbit. His renting system seems pretty interesting tho.

That's all from me, hope you'll have a great midsummer!

How's the summer everyone? I've had bit neat start, despite finding now out that Hylia (Wii U of mine) seems to be bit... defective when it comes to reading discs of the games. I've had Mario Kart 8 changed twice but it seems like certain tracks won't load after some time has passed (gladly it's just two out of 30 now, so I'm good). I'll miss my Sweet Sweet Canyon a bit though.

My summer job however, has been quite zen-like and pleasant. All the efficient and careful working is needed there in order to bring in books, put them back from being lended, sorting them for both tasks, and much more. It has made me feel better off myself, along with letting myself get drifted away from my stressful home. And all the workers there are really friendly. Sometimes makes me feel bad that I come late for them...

At other news, CoroCoro leaks once again with Hoenn-remakes showing now out most of it's details. May and Brendan got not too shabby redesigns - though it almost strikes me that Hoenn's just getting progressively hotter and hotter? I don't know. Ya can check more here.




I'm bit hyped at the upcoming E3, though I wonder what they'll be showing. I hope at least for more info on Yarn Yoshi, SMT X Fire Emblem and perhaps Palutena being shown as a newcomer in SSB4. However, there's now gonna be a whole 1 hour and a half show dedicated to the game alone - twice the amount the direct showed to us before. That's quite A LOT to take in, and definitely will raise the hype enough to reach the far ends of space. Yep.

Last but not the least, for those who like my writing, you might like hearing that I decided to take in Nintendo Club and rework on it from the ground-up, this time giving it a coherent plot structure and timeline. I also went on to try reconstructing it's theme and formula, and so far found plenty new ways to do so. Mostly inspiration is drawn from my summer job place. I'm now looking for a new beta though as the last one signed off due having his busy life as more bigger priority this time. I hope he'll be doing well and I want to thank him for all the support.

So yeah, I hope we'll talk soon as E3's nearing in and comes by.

Phewwwww... it's been a while. I don't know where to begin. 

I had quite rough time since last journal, since felt really depressed and lonely. It didn't do well on my motivation to go through my high school studies, so had to go get help from career psychologist and psychiatrist nurse. I noticed that I had no idea where to go at after I'd clear my high school - in fact it was just because I had to make sure I would fulfill another expectation from mom. After few visits however, I started to regain more new viewpoints or rediscovered thoughts about myself, which gave me more ways to see how to improve and go from to get things fixed up. I had currently this last semester with about 7 exams to do... of all which I managed to pass. Especially the one with swedish, which I hate, and really sucked at.

Another note is that I managed to get myself a summer job- and it's looking REALLY PLEASANT. I get to bring up requested books from this huge book depot chamber from depths of one huge library in Helsinki (Pasila more accurately.)

And that storage chamber is really peaceful but expansive, dang. SO MANY BOOKS AND SHELFES. And sections. 
It seems quite fun to get into, so I’m looking forward to work there. I might be awed and kept interested for ours. Not gonna have boring time at all there even if I don’t get to read any books.

So yeah, I think this ain’t bad after all, I’m feeling quite confident that I can turn up the tables on my favour. Actually I feel really glad towards myself for that. Yay!

Last but not the least, I reward myself (and set some goal) for working my ass off in school was to get Mario Kart 8. (+ free WiiU-game, which I wanted to be Wonderful101.). I posted my first (very biased) impressions about it in here at Tumblr, but rest assured, the game's just pure bliss. Two words: DOLPHIN SHOALS.



Aside from that, I wonder what to do during the summer aside from working. I've been rethinking through all interests I have and at the moment I dunno what to do for free time. Maybe just start rewriting things again? Hmm.


To be honest, I still feel kind of lonely.

I don't even know how to put it to words exactly, because feeling like this feels entirely new, yet very stress-relieving.

For a longest time, I've noticed that I've been myself's most strict and harshest critic. There's never been an instance where I had to give it completely all I had for everything I've done in my life, perhaps due living in settings which demanded me to act the way that was "right" and perfect. Along with quite similar praises to me saying I'm above-average and even genuinely creative or exceptional, than most people in means of plenty things I had an interest to, I started to put really huge expectations on myself. Maybe because I wanted to get attention due living a lot way alone, and believed I'd be something great.

Needless to say, it led me become impatient, exhausted mentally due my efforts that seemed to not make me happy (no matter what) and trying to keep on my ego of acting like "none other". Mostly explaining why I either failed at school subjects at times and seem to be more than unactive and maybe not even showing any interest in art when it comes to my content (despite my really energetic enthusiasm.) 

I think I had been frustrated again with my drawings and thinking over my writing which I felt wasn't just doing it to me, went to read an article or two. I don't know where I saw this thing exactly, but it told me how it's easy to get hung up on wanting to always bring out one's best in every idea or attempt on anything.
Commonly it overrides your very enthusiasm to get anything done, especially if thoughts like "This idea will be so cool and original!", ot "This'll be my best piece yet!".

And this has been quite a major case with me: every idea I thought or came up with, I would see it as larger than life, and to be executed out as best as it can in any form I can give it to. This again led to quite big amount of expectations and demand from myself and I'd just stress over things again. I'm having quite low self-confidence already, so me being like this to myself wasn't really helpful on developing myself to better.

To embrace the thought of not always having to give it all on everything I do has made me become more relieved than ever before in my life. It's something I've always tied on my everyday tasks and mindset in general, yet now, I feel like I'll be more open towards things and be able to develop myself to better and have fun while at it in general. And most of all, feel less critical and demanding to myself. 

It might sound really small to some, but to me, this is like a life-changing development withing me. Who knows, I might be in a better times after this. And I feel truly positive about it.

Perhaps to all out there too, I hope this'll provide some food for thought. b(-l<>l-)^
