*Blog post started on September 17th with a September 16, 2020 flashback.
Does work set you free? I am in the midst of a 12-day stint between both my banking and retail jobs, and I will say that there is not much on my mind because of it. The only stress is not being liquid right now and that HostGator decided to collect on the MainEventOfTheDead.com domain. The Sonic hot dog lunch yesterday and the Garcia's Pizza in a Pan Monday meal tasted far too good. Of course that taking up my remaining checking accounts' funds would come at a greater price.
With the apparent lack of interest in exploring my zombie pro-wrestling script, "Main Event of the Dead", (If this comedic B-Movie idea sounds interesting, request a treatment of the script by emailing russthebus07@gmail.com. I would also be happy to take advice on how to get this project out of development hell.), you think the wise thing would be to just let the renewal pass. But, the domain hosts my memorial to the best person I ever knew, Stacia Marie Hardin, which is still near the top of the Google search, so I cannot afford to lose that. If anything, I am more angry at myself for not tweeting out the link to pass on my numerous Twitter accounts on the 16th anniversary of her death to further promote her legacy.
I have already worked out how I will replenish my checking account to take care of my website expense. It just sucks saying goodbye to an NES Zapper that had some nostalgic value. When are we going to get "Duck Hunt" on the Nintendo Switch? That would be a better buy than "Super Mario 35".
On the topic of video games, a series that I have gotten into in the last decade was "Persona". It is the otaku in me, but I also think I like the turn-based RPGs over the action-based modern style. You can have my curiosity with a classic manga style. My attention will be earned with "Pokemon" battle rules.
Do I put a Monsieur Candie meme into this blog to drive the point home with that Tarantino tribute?
After about two hours of watching static characters tell the story before actual gameplay, finding out "Persona 4: The Animation" existed seemed like a time-saving purchase. Especially when I bought the entire series on clearance before the closing of the last Suncoast: The Motion Picture Store in Illinois.
It kind of feels nice that the exit is not on I-57. The time saved not being detoured in Joliet to visit flash shops is nice on me and my wallet.
Of course anime and video game adaptations are like movie and video game adaptations. Trying to appeal to a wider audience or create an actual narrative can ruin the adaptation for the fans and the audience. With "Persona 4" art seemingly captured exactly, surely this will be the exception to the rule.
