Hey Scott, thanks so much as always for your thoughts! I have a bunch of other versions for Ayumi, I had this prepared for like the "final" version, but this morning I just changed her to the one on the post, not the first time someone didn't like those eyes haha

But yeah, the build to build grind is real, definitely prefer to take things at their own pace, some months are more technical than others. But yeah, things are moving faster than before and now with a lot of the things in place, I'm feeling better than ever! Plus the sun is starting to shine here, that might play a big part haha
And yeah, the small town of Persona 4 is just great, specifically wanted to play the game because of it. And I get, gaming backlog is a real obstacle nowadays, I finish so little games nowadays... But games are a wonderful thing, so glad to be born in this time period where we can enjoy them.
Thanks for everything Scott, hope your time away goes well and is worth it! Take care.
