A couple of things happened yesterday, so I felt like posting here… for the first time in months…
- after her pinning on Thursday, yesterday my mom graduated! She’s been going to nursing school for years at this point (I honestly don’t know how long. I thought it was four years, but I feel like it’s been more than that), so I’m glad her hard work paid off and she’s finally a RN. One of the people who spoke before the ceremony was even Nigerian! It was perfect (my mom actually said that when the man said he was Nigerian, her friend, who is Ghanaian, was like “it’s your people”)!
- after that, we went to an all you can eat buffet called Hibachi. The food they had there was really good. I had sushi again, which tasted great, and I also had crab for the first time, which was also good
- I have a few points related to Mega Man X5 as well. There is this one achievement that wants you to beat
Stage 1 of Zero Space without using Dark Hold, which freezes time. So just do what the person in the linked video was doing. Instead of saying how grueling it was, I’ll just say that I died… maybe 50+ times? It was not fun. But I did it, and now I never have to do that again
- in general, I’m happy that I’ve almost beaten the game since I feel like I’ve been on it forever because I can only play on weekends, plus the amount of forced backtracking in this game specifically. After I got that achievement, I had to beat this ****
before clearing the stage, and I hated it. The Shadow Devil is easily my new least favorite Devil in the entire series, the other ones were so much less unfair than this. For starters, why did they think this should have
six patterns when most Devils only have one? Then I had to do the next stage, which had a slightly less painful boss fight. And then I got the Ultimate Armor and had to use it to fight Zero for the incredibly contrived reason that they put in the good ending, which was where I left off. Once I get back home and finish everything I have to do right now, I’ll beat the rest of the game. Then I have to beat it two more times for more achievements before moving on to X6. As much as I’m dreading all the games after this, this or Zero is definitely my favorite Mega Man series, so it’s probably going to be… at least…
kind of fun
