I've been racking my brains trying to figure out what I should do for my 365th entry on this blog. Technically, that entry has already passed, but it can be hardly counted since I didn't formally start the blog until August 7, 2013. I guess it would actually make a lot more sense just to make a special entry on August 7th, but that would actually be the 357th entry and I feel like I should be starting something new on that date instead of reflecting on the old.
I don't know. I just haven't decided what I'm going to do yet. I've considered the idea of doing some sort of retrospective on what I've accomplished over the course of this year multiple times and honestly, that's probably what's going to happen. The only problem with that is that I really do want to do exactly that at the end of this year since I've been keeping track of absolutely everything I've done for the whole year so far. I wouldn't want to do half a retrospective just because I happen to have been writing this blog for a year already.
I do know that I'm going to want pictures of some kind. That's something this blog sorely needs more of--pictures. I know no one really reads it but I just feel like it makes it more memorable. I like the idea of looking back on this blog in a few years and being able to see screenshots from games I was playing and other stuff like that. I'm pretty sure every picture in this blog so far is a screenshot--and that's fine, because I play a lot of video games--but I wonder what else I could include in the future? The videos I posted for Tales of Destiny and Front Mission 3 were a good start and they were fun to do. The commentary for FM3 will likely never be viewed by anyone but it was a pretty fun thing to record.
I've really been wanting to record some footage from Dissidia 012 because it's a really flashy and fun game to watch in action--but unfortunately my processor is not up to the task of rendering such a recording accurately. I'd hoped my new graphics card would make things like this easier, but it's become pretty clear I'll need to upgrade a few more components sometime in the future.
I took some time today to read some old entries from my LiveJournal to get some perspective on how my writing has changed over the years. It's interesting because even though that blog dates all the way back to 2005 or maybe even a little earlier, I never updated all that frequently, and the average length of my entries was quite short. I think this was due in no small part to the fact that I actually expected it to be read by other people! Now I just don't care if anyone reads this stuff and I update every single day with entries of ridiculous length!
Blogging is a narcissistic, self-indulgent thing to do anyway, I guess. Despite this, I feel it's really been good for me. It gives me more of a sense of purpose in a weird way. There are a lot of things about myself that I don't like, but I'm reasonably proud that I write something every single day. Not everyone can say that.
