Realized I haven't really posted a proper journal here for a while so I figured I'd keep you a bit up to date on what's happening in my pretty uneventful life, in case people want to know and whatnot.
--- I'm leaving for Stockholm tonight for the Swedish Championship in Cosplay (also known as Cosplay-SM)! I'm not competing myself, but I have a few friends who are going to, and I also know most people who are performing in the intermissions and who are hosting the entire thing, yadda yadda. It's going to be streamed here tomorrow at 8:30PM CET (2:30PM CDT). I think it'll be in Swedish, but hey, you don't need to understand the language in order to admire the amazing costumes and performances you'll see!
--- I've been busy the past ten weeks with a game development project at my university. A lot of work and a lot of stress, but it was a super interesting and fun experience to work with an entire team of fellow students to create something together. I'm already looking forward to next year's project! Creating is fun.
--- Speaking of creating and cosplaying, I haven't been super active when it comes to making new cosplays as of late due to the development project. I have, however, worked a bit on a cosplay that I've been wanting to do for years (ever since before I started cosplaying). Not going to spoil anything yet... but she has a huge friggin' ball dress and I'm super excited for that. (Facebook page for my cosplaying adventures here!)
--- And on the topic of creativity, I've resumed to my good ol' YouTubing! Well, kinda. I've uploaded a few new videos which is neat since I've been inactive for about a year due to life getting in the way. I will get back to it properly soon, though, so that's going to be fun! (My YouTube can be found here. Cringey content deluxe.)
How've you been doing, and how are you currently doing? What's going on in your life, you neat person you?

Awesome! Here's a general question. Where do you go to get your material? I would assume a 3D printer does wonders for armor (been wanting to make Mass Effect armor :P) but other than that...I would imagine some sort of fabric store or something? And for an unrelated cosplay question, what games do you often play?

I'm so sad. My final trimester of school (yay!) goes into full effect today, meaning that I've got sports until 5:00 (midnight for you) from now on. Since I won't be home until 5:30 daily, I can't have any after school shenanigans with you and the rest of the piss crew.
Please come to America and break my leg or something so this isn't a problem. Actually, that might hurt a lot....

So, there's not much to compare between our main choices within the episode, but I guess we can still compare the smaller choices.
Did you get your portrait drawn? Did you water the plant? Did you check out the dad's files? Did you break the snow-globe? Did you rearrange the photos in Victoria's room?
Obviously these are the truly hard-hitting questions.

If the probably turns out to be false, I'm going to be shocked. If it's something like Lara was actually inside of a dream and could rewind time to avoid the impending storm the whole time, I'll be amazed.

Man, you seem so.... surprised by his death. Sorry that that I had to break it to you this way.
Wait, so you're telling me... after I've seen and killed all of those men.... that there's people on this island? Mind. Blown.
Also, why are there seemingly no women on this island other than the three that just came on this ship?
My concern is within stuff like the hidden tombs and stuff that require major amounts of platforming and stuff being destroyed to get there, such as the destroyed plane in the first hidden tomb. How the hell did those people get there to light those damn candles!

Oh my god. "I know this island is haunted or something" made me laugh. And that's weird, that never happened to me..! I actually never got any significant glitches while playing it. Huh.
But you know that people live on the island, right? I would say that they creep around in the ancient tombs as well, but leave things untouched, trying not to anger the gods and all that jazz.

Speaking of deaths of favorite characters, Roth just died one me. Damnit Roth!
So far I've only had two problems with it.
1: I've glitched out of the world and fallen through the floor like 5 times already. I know this island is haunted or something, but still, this is way too strange.
2: WHO THE FUCK IS LIGHTING ALL THESE CANDLES AROUND THE ISLAND. EVEN IN ANCIENT TOMBS WHICH HAVEN'T BEEN VISITED IN THOUSANDS OF YEARS, THERE'S LIT CANDLES FOR LIGHT.

It's such a good way of thinking!
She was genuinely nice, but then had to send that "oh btw we're still not friends" text to keep her bitchy persona up. Sucks that she's so insecure.
Yeah, I thought it'd be best to start with the newest one. I'm about 8 hours in, right at the point where you get the grenade launcher in the burning city.

Every single one of those things. Even seeing that it was a middle finger and then rewinding it. I couldn't bring myself to be mean to her.

I got my portrait drawn (I like Daniel and he's hella good at drawing so why not), I watered the plant (very important), I checked out the files (but I didn't leave any traces), I didn't break the snowglobe (I didn't feel like there was a reason to leave it broken so I rewinded), and I only rearranged Victorias photos to get the picture of it; I rewinded afterwards.
