There are many reasons for which I really do wish I would have stayed away and on my own path once I left. Already at this point I've grown to truly appreciate the good health that I have and the free time that I have. Playing Dragon Quest 11 right now is making me realize that unless other things in my life drastically change, I'll never have time for this kind of game ever again in my life. I just have too many other things which I really need to get done to justify the hours that I'm putting into it at this point. I just don't have that kind of free time anymore. While thinking about it, another aspect to it is that I'm still not yet at a level of Japanese comprehension where I can read it as fluently at English. I definitely understand more of it now than before, but it does take time for me to parse things out, and I have to be in the proper mindset to be willing to do that - otherwise I get impatient and skip through things as I have tended to do before. With something like this, the point of playing the game is to read the material, so I'm not doing myself any particular good to just plow through things once I get ancy.

At last, their hot tub is open. I lounged in it for an hour at the end of the week. It was a good sensation to be there as the sun rose.

Songs. Arcade session felt a bit shorter than normal, and that's probably because I started later than usual upon arrival since other players were on the machine for a bit. That's fine. Stamina and phsyical condition felt better than last week at the end. Home sessions were pretty decent too; there were only a few bad plays and I didn't get stuck in a rut for any long stretch.

Lunar Beat. Extra Mode. Double play. "@" denotes Random chart modifier. All songs are of highest difficulty type unless specified.
First line, by column; song title, EX score percentage and letter grade rank, EX score value and pass/fail, judgment readout (just great, great, good, bad poor), highest combo reached, note count of chart under Extra Mode, original note count of chart, percentage increase of Extra Mode notes over original note count, timestamp.
Second line, by column; pass count / play count, EX score percentage difference from record, EX score value difference from record, judgment readout difference from record (if current play is new record), highest combo reached difference from record (if current play is new record), timestamp of old record (if current play is new record).
