  • Quite regularly, but only because I coincidentally moved into a house across the road from an acquaintance that became a good friend. We go over each other’s house for tea, or board games, or casual multiplayer video games.

    If it weren’t for that proximity I’d say I’d very rarely spend time with friends. Life is busy. Work wants 40 or more hours a week, then you’ve got chores, shopping, study (if you’re doing that, I was studying full time for a year and a bit recently), then you just need time for personal hobbies and relaxation. On top of that, other people can be flaky, or just busy with their own things.



  • Aya Brea, from Parasite Eve

    The perfect mix of unsuspecting hero, chosen one, and bad ass. The sequel also gives her an Ellen Riply in Aliens vibe as well. Shame about 3rd Birthday and the fact we will never get another one. For those who don’t know, the owner of the original IP didn’t want to renew the license for the games, which means the games can no longer use anything from the novel which includes all references to mitochondria and Eve. That’s why 3rd Birthday was seemingly a totally different game; they tried to make a sequel that couldn’t reference any of the main plot points of the previous games or novel.





  • You can be friendly without being actual friends. I prefer not to make actual friends at work, the exception being once I’m no longer working with I’m more likely to spend time with them socially. I never understand why people get so upset when you don’t want to be friends; they interpret that as “you must hate me if you don’t want to be my friend”. No, I just have a finite amount of time and energy for friends.

    My performance is not based on friendship stats like some kind of dating sim.
