30 days of this “not eating anything from work” challenge and thankfully, I was off last night. As a result, I felt even more in control. I find it much easier to track what I eat to understand when I’m going overboard (or not) on my days off. This makes my days off the Easy Mode portion as I either make myself a meal or just hydrate. I also ended up reading some more A Game Of Thrones by George R. R. Martin before streaming more of the main story of Final Fantasy XVI.
I understand the critiques of this game as you’re only controlling one character and dynamics of gameplay feel very Devil May Cry-ish (then again, consider who the combat director of this entry was). I also enjoy how it borrows some elements of Martin’s work through some subtle and not-so-subtle references while bringing back the magical and fantastical elements that make this a Final Fantasy entry. To say that Annabella is more evil than Cersei Lannister is quite a statement but one I’m willing to sink all eleven toes on. I’m not a fan of a litany of side quests; this is due to many of them not giving you anything substantial in terms of reward. In Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, when you do a side quest, it actually leads to substantial world building and rewards that will help you along the way substantially in one form or another whereas in FF17, not as much.
You’d also be surprised how less prone I am to my heavy eating temptations when I stream or play video games because most of the time I…will just drink water.
I’ll never understand how folks drink soda, 5 energy cans and a bag of Cheetos when gaming; it just doesn’t calculate.
