Beating the heat
I knew that doing weekly blog posts might be a little difficult - since not every week I really get up to too much. But it really does help me reflect on "nothing" weeks to try pull out and think about what I actually got up too.
I started my week getting two new estrogen implants put in - my levels and bloods look good, and I'm feeling great! Even if the implants are a bit pricey ($240 for two) vs other methods like injections or gels - The convenience factor makes up for it entirely. Honestly my main inconvenience medication wise now is actually making it out to the Dr who puts them in my cheeks lol. It is something I would like to maybe DIY someday.
Wednesday I actually went into the city and got a few arcade credits in for the first time in a while! I've been mostly playing BMS at home, but last week I talked about my friend who's moving to Perth, and we wanted to get one more set of IIDX in before he left. After playing some games at the arcade we went to Ume Burger @ Darling Quarter and had burgers and fries for dinner. Nothing crazy, but imo - Ume Burger does the best burger in Sydney.
On Friday - my MCON finally arrived after backing it on Kickstarter like a year ago. It was kind of a shit-show fulfillment wise, but it's nice to finally have it in my hands. Sadly - now that it's in my hands, it feels like shit to use. I mostly game stream from bed with my GameSir G8 or Steam Deck and was hoping that this could be a compact little controller I could keep on me to play games. But instead, when using both sticks and triggers its super crampy and small! Really is a shame, apparently it's going to be fixed in V2, but I really don't want to give OhSnap my money again due to how fucked messy the whole shipping internationally thing was. It's fine for D-Pad and face-button gaming though, so I'll still be using it. But I'm going to try to keep mine in its box in nice shape since I got the Kickstarter exclusive translucent colour. Hopefully someone who does like the controller will pay 2x what I paid ($99 USD) sometime in the future haha.
That same day my brother came over to avoid the heat & try out my sim racing rig. It's nothing fancy, just a Moza R5 combo with a clutch, but it's still a blast to drive. I've really got to get a base to screw it all into because it slides around a lot when playing, especially with the load cell brakes upgrade! The next day, my partner and I drove up to my parents place to catch up, have a few drinks and have pizza. I've been craving this pizza from the pizza place nearby for like 2 months now - nothing here in Sydney hits the spot the same. I went full fat-fuck mode (It's a mindset) and ate nearly a kilo of pizza that night. Went hard, and I felt like shit the next day but was 100% worth it.
I did get some exercise in this week though. Not as much as I would have liked, but I did a spin class this morning. Absolute hell after a massive pizza dinner - but was still fun!
Otherwise, that's about it! I've been playing heaps more Warframe as usual too - I got my first prime this week which is fun! Excited to keep grinding and enjoying the game :3c
