Walls of text ahead. C95 news, new titles, and delays. A few new stuff, one finished route. Still questionable finance, and lastly a load of things to do.
Links
- New Navel title, scheduled for February. Interesting artist lineup.
- Melonbooks C95 goods illustration teaser, Toranosuke edition. Looks kind of nice? The one from Pan seems good as well.
- NanaWind’s latest title is delayed again, now to March. As usual.
- A rather interesting pillow cover of Ayase? Too bad not lewd enough. Also the size is wrong.
- Following Parasol and Amuse Craft, eufonie is also following suit, starting up with one illustrated by Misaki Kurehito. That’s one hell of starter. Also available in other stores some of which have free shipping.
- Yuzu-Soft C95. Drama CD yay.
- Pieces’ early pre-order shikishi also available for online order. Yays.
- Kinkoi getting a fandisk, Kinkoi GT. Nice? Scheduled for February. Probably will get from official store because it’s got all the shikishis and then auction the rest of the bonuses as usual. Just Sofmap and Trader though which means extra shipping cost. And may or may not Animate. The illustrator for her is changed as well, so.
- minori’s Sono hi no kemono ni wa is delayed to January. Apparently it’s their first delay since forever.
Non-news links
- Lolicons and below. Not sure if correct. Or if there’s even any correct answer.
- “Oh you can ‘draw’ using ASS? Cool, let’s encode entire video to it”.Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
New stuff
Latest doujinshi from Sunshine Creation 2018 Autumn. I sure haven’t gone to it since forever. Maybe I should sometime next year?
Oh, except one ancient book at top left. It’s been on my purchase list since forever and I needed something for free store pickup at Melonbooks.
Goods from Cuffs online store 2018 Autumn. This one is tapestry of Moeri from Mamiya. Nice as usual. Great pantyhose and somehow still in one piece. Though I don’t think the game involve any condom at all? Not that I know since I haven’t played it. Similar question to some other illustrations. My guess would be because it makes the image looks more lewd…?
Pretty good print quality as usual and also as usual the pipe is rather thin and it’s already rather bent just being hung up for few seconds. Thankfully this one doesn’t have white bars at top and bottom sides.
Eroge playthrough
Finished Kano route! Yay. Or almost because I haven’t finished the epilogue and after story extra H-scene.
So it was last night around 04:30-ish, I was about to sleep because it’s pretty late and finishing the epilogue didn’t seem wise. But then I noticed it was just about time for NASA’s InSight landing process. So I watched that instead and ended up sleeping at almost 06:00. Good job, me. Now I’m feeling sleepy.
Non-eroge stuff
Nothing! No event in FGO either though the latest story chapter has been released so may start going through it. RIP Shimosa.
Daily life
To do
I have loads of things in my to-do list.
The most annoying thing being replacing my iPhone battery. The year is almost ending and booking for appointment at Apple Store still seems rather impossible. I’ll just ship the darn thing sometime later after I finish all other craps around 15th.
The earliest thing I need to finish up is shipping stuff to Suruga-Ya. Still need to pack some more stuff and current plan is sometime this weekend.
Before this weekend though, there will be eroge release day. Though I’m only getting Aokana. I need to figure out what to do with my friend’s NanaWind delayed title though because I’m not sure I want to go to Shinjuku Sofmap randomly in March. Or maybe I will. I’ll try asking the store if I can grab it at their Yokohama branch instead.
Then around the same day, I also need to call BugBug to update shipping address for one tapestry I ordered (through mail because they’re so modern). I just hope I can tell my new address correctly.
Next day on Saturday, I need to pick up my new house key. And probably followed by surveying Melonbooks and Sofmap around there.
Sunday is my utilities activation day. Not sure how long it’ll take but I’m hoping I can ride my bike there as well. Although as I noticed it involves waking up rather early, I’m not so sure it’ll happen. At worst it’ll be at old room handover day two weeks later.
Assuming I can start setting up my internet, I hope I can somehow finish it and get internet connection as soon as possible. The exciting part is it’ll simplify my network layout. The less exciting part is I’ll probably be disappointed not being able to get free from the slow internet between afternoon to midnight.
Sometime next week I’ll finally move in to my new place. Yay. I hope it won’t be too annoying and that the staffs which cost 20k for packing stuff actually do their job correctly and don’t cause too much problem.
Though before that, I also need to visit ward office to register my new address. Shouldn’t take too long but still annoying regardless.
Then I’ll need to do update my address for everything including pre-orders, banks, post office, and maybe some others which I don’t remember.
As mentioned before, a week later is the room handover day and I’ll say goodbye to this room at which I’ve stayed for about four years. Not the best location but at least it was close to the office and has most of the fluffs I need. Room layout could’ve been better but it’s usable.
And lastly, I’ll need to deal with the aforementioned phone battery replacement. Hopefully they’re not too slow otherwise I’ll be rather doomed. Or maybe I’ll just borrow some phone from a friend.
Oh, and after the dust settles, I’ll need to restart auction and put up as many craps as I can to recover from all the costs involved.
The list ended up even longer than I initially thought.
Financial “planning”
So I took about 350k for getting the new apartment room, and then another 51k for the movers. That made a 340k hole to my savings target. Um, yeah.
At least next or following month I should get some of my current room’s deposit back. Hopefully.
And then some extra tax returns in December. Should be quite a bit more than last year thanks to the iDeCo thingy. According to simulation thingy, it’ll be around 50k which is nice. We’ll find out next month.
They all still won’t cover the hole though. So I still need to somehow auction 300k worth of stuff.
No change to planned spending though as I believe recovering from it shouldn’t be too difficult unless something really stupid comes up.
Upcoming events include K-Books (maybe), Cuffs (most likely), Denkigai, Palette’s POP Fes, C95, and maybe Sofmap new year box if it still exists.
After long period without new eroge, February and March will be rather expensive again with three titles; Kinkoi GT, Pieces, and Study Steady (yeah I’ll most likely be getting this).
There’s also Favorite’s Sakura, Moyu this December but I’m still undecided. Probably not as I mentioned earlier because of the coloring style though may reconsider if they delay it again.
Oh, there’s Da Capo Archives which if I’m getting, will cause my already long backlog even longer.
Almost forgot, but I’m also considering getting Sweet & Tea latest and previous titles. They’re low budget titles with no interesting store bonus so I will grab them whenever I feel like to.
As for feng’s Yume to iro de dekite iru, I’m not sure if I still care about it. Will decide a bit later once they put up more information (and hopefully not more delays?) though from what I can see there’s nothing particularly exciting. My interest in Karory has lowered as well.
And that’s it for now, I think? If anything, there might also be Yuzu-Soft new title announcement sometime later this/next week.
Closing words
Wow this is one long post. As usual, this is mostly for myself, looking back at the past, checking the present, and planning for the future.
