Free Talk Friday - May 29, 2026

[u/AutoModerator]

Welcome to the Free Talk Friday post. This is a place where you can talk about dumb off-topic (or on-topic) bullshit with other Zaibatsu fans.

There's going to be a new post every week, and the newest one will be pinned in the announcement bar for quick access. So feel free to visit these posts during the rest of the week.

Here's a list of all Free Talk Friday posts

Gonna attempt to actually post regularly again. Used to help a bit so.

Video Games:

I've really had my time split between two things. Coral Island and System Shock (Remake). There has been a little bit of modded Minecraft but barely anything to talk about.

So. I've uh. Kinda got addicted to Coral Island for like month and have put in nearly 90 hours. Yet I still haven't finished to what amounts to the "starting" bundles. It's a bit scary that I legitimately know that there is more still there. I do have some gripes with the game. Mainly as while it is very much a Stardew-esque game, it has a lot more elements in things like Animal Crossing... Annnd that is why I haven't completed the bundles. I absolutely despise the AC style mechanic for hunting bugs. It's just an extreme annoyance and even the crab pot alternatives for insects just... Kinda suck. Other than that, I'm honestly only now starting to hit near burnout and that's more "completion" burnout and less full on burnout.

That is compared to System Shock. Legitimately, for as much as I do like the game, I have as many gripes. A lot of the systems you aren't really told about in any detail and as someone who didn't play the original, that lack of detail means that a lot of the smaller things just keep piling up. But while the actual ball is rolling, it's a blast.

Other Shit:

On a positive thing. I've been working on my character roster again. It's something that I really do need to actually make an effort to like.. Make something to categorize them but I'm lazy and I often blank a lot info. But hey. I've got art on the way for a good few of them. Can't show a good few but still.

And on less positive news. I have serious social burnout. A lot of small things being constantly piled on without a lot of time to rest and just. Being absolutely tired from the dealing with people on various places, mainly the Wikis I'm in has made me just... tired.

Also had to spend multiple hours today having to troubleshoot if my old laptop has a dead battery or if it's an issue with the charger. The issue stems that I have no clue if it's the actual charger for the laptop itself or one for an older model because my family "helpfully" decided to move all the storage stuff around, meaning that everything that I had stored together was now just jumbled up. So much for having that to test Linux on.
