I’m not actually sure if it’s the correct release event.
But anyway, it’s Koyomi. They recycled game CG. And annoyingly the upscaling here is very bad which is unfortunate considering the material is good.
I have a feeling I knew about this a few years back which is why I never ended up getting it. And then I forgot about it and bought it anyway last year lol.
It’s not R18 ;_; The material is downgraded as well from double suede ;_;
But hey, it’s Camus. Oh, I sure hope she wears proper knee-socks on both her legs instead of just one. Especially here with the knee-sock (?) side not quite visible. Oh well.
As mentioned above it’s thin material but at least the print is fine.
Huh, weird, apparently I never end up making posts on these. But, yeah, those are a thing.
Can use better background to be honest. Still better than plain color at least.
And then the non-R18 version. I prefer her expression here. This is one of those rare instances I buy both version.
Material is double suede and the print is pretty good. No problem here.
Another unironed tapestry post! Yay.
This one is from Fuyukuru Melonbooks bonus tapestry. She’s the best when together with Touko.
Loli! Knee-socks! Striped panties! Blonde twintails! Now I wrote it they sure jammed all the generic traits on her. Tsundere included. But that’s fine to me.
Similar to the Trader one, thin material and okay printing. Double suede would’ve been better but I’ve gotten something with worse material recently.
So I thought I should just post these un-ironed tapestries photos but now looking closer at them I’m not so sure anymore. The shit lighting isn’t helping at all either. That said, I probably just won’t do it if I wait until I do it proper. Especially considering my room is a bit too full at the moment and ironing is one of those activity which require some space.
I’ll fix those when I actually want to put them up and thus forced to iron them beforehand.
Anyway, it’s Yuuhi. Interesting she wears knee-socks here as I don’t think she does usually. Also interesting the other thing which would be spoiler-ish. Or maybe that’s how the normal state looks like? I doubt it though.
It’s also my first tapestry from Nanohana Kohina.
It’s usual thin material and the printing is okay. Nothing offensive.
Sold a bunch of computer parts yay. The CPU ended up being sold more than I bought it for. Component pricing is weird nowadays.
The Z210 also has been sold. It’s a bit less than I hoped but it’s fine, I guess.
Finally got rid of premium so I had to put everything up again manually. I still want to put up the remaining computer parts. Two cases (+PSU), one mobo, one cpu, and a pair of RAM sticks. And then there are a bunch of unused 10Gbps cards.
Once those done I should start selling unused covers and other things. Oh and sending doujin to Suruga-Ya. I think it’s been over a year (or two?) since I planned to do it and I still haven’t done it.
Nothing here.
I forgot about Yuzusoft dakimakura re-release thing. I’ll maybe get the Sana one. Or should I.
Money from auction should cover a good chunk of budget for this month but still not enough for one extra dakimakura cover. At worst I’ll reallocate existing eroge budget to next month.
Nothing much else otherwise. No upcoming event either so there shouldn’t be much to worry about for the rest of this month. I think.
I can probably reconsider DC4SH and Futakoi. I’ve been quite busy with other stuff lately and haven’t been able to read eroge much though. I’ll see how far I can go.
And then I just remembered about the missing 200k from last year. Uh, yeah, I don’t know yet.
36.13% closing last week. That’s… worse than previous week. It was some roller coaster with up one day and down another day. Unfortunately there are more downs than up overall. Interestingly Japan stock market seem to be going the opposite direction of the rest of the world.
iDeCo is at 32.85% (13.77% yield). It’s barely up but the yield is even lower probably because… I don’t know ?_? I don’t think there’s any new purchase in between. Maybe it’s counting based on the month.
Sold them RAM sticks. It’s over half the original purchase price but that was over 6 years ago.
Finally put up the HP Z210 for auction. Let’s see if anyone takes that. Questionable GPU and SSD aside (but it’s still an SSD and 1TB of it), it should be a pretty good deal. Packing it up will be a pain though.
There isn’t much this week apart of signing up someone’s Fanbox and upgrading a Fantia plan.
That said, I readjusted budgeting stuff and will be ending this month with a negative 15k in total :’)
After the readjustment, my next month budget is negative 30k thanks to covering for current month and the upcoming eroge purchases.
That’s not actually too bad considering there shouldn’t be much else for March and April.
Assuming I’m not going ahead with random PC peripheral purchases, that is ๐ Have been looking at wireless mice lately.
RIP stock market. At 32.73% closing last week, it sure is just keeping going down. I did go on with buying more stock index funds and thankfully I got pretty good price.
Similarly for iDeCo at 27.9% (12.35% yield).
Next index fund purchase will be in another month…
Still nothing =)
Started selling some RAMs except no one bought it last week ;_;
Put up some more unused computer parts and I’m hoping to finish selling all the unused parts by end of next month. And then maybe start looking at the doujinshi and other stuff again.
I just realized I planned Suruga-Ya doujinshi stuff since last year and I’ve done jack shit about it.
Bought a bunch of Kuru series related stuff. Those were expensive. I think I counted upwards of 30k in total and it’s not even complete as I’m still missing Natsukuru Trader bonus.
I don’t usually list this individually but Hunter x Hunter Greed Island opening theme song has been available on online stores since last year. I couldn’t find lossless version of it but AAC at 320kbps is sufficiently good. It’s just not quite ideal if I ever want to convert it to any other formats.
And there went my extra maybe DC4 and Futakoi budget.
I did my budgeting for February I’m still 40k short for the eroge and stuff preorders. I’ll barely make it by March at current rate.
As for the missing 200k last year, I’ll try making them up from the auctions…
36.55% this week. That’s getting even worse. The one fund I bought few weeks ago already went down by almost 5%. Oh well, that’s one way to start this year.
iDeCo is even worse at 32.48% (14.16% yield).
Maybe I should buy even more funds… is what I thought but the system is currently on maintenance. Maybe tomorrow morning if I remember to.
Nothing again =)
Selling the whole PC sucks especially if it’s self built. I’ll sell them as parts instead eventually. That also means I have to rerun memtest as I’m not going to sell the whole four not-quite-matching sticks at once…
Finally preordered the Ambitious Mission Moeoh tapestry. B1 size because bigger is better (up to B1).
DC4SH is still on hold until maybe next month. Or March.
There’s also Asapro’s Futakoi but I really need to clear up my budget a bit more before deciding. Interestingly it’s April as well just like DC4SH.
This dakimakura cover is mildly interesting but I don’t think I’ll be getting it… maybe.
I just realized I made weird mistake when adjusting budget for 2021. The original plan was to copy 2020 number (100k per month for normal account) except cut off by 600k for emergency budget except what I ended up with was cutting it off by 800k as I set normal account target at 1M a year instead of 1.2M. The end result is I missed my target by 200k =) Fuck.
Next month budget will be sometime next week so I hope I can figure out where to put them?
This was horrible week and closed at 40.96% which is a lot of down ;_; There doesn’t seem to be any particular reason either? Not from my quick look at finance news section anyway.
At least it’s not as bad for iDeCo at 38.04% (15.99% yield). I have no idea why.
Sold more unused games. All of them in fact. Yay.
Still nothing this week. Hopefully I’ll get around putting them up for auction next week. I also need to remember to actually cancel Yahoo! Premium as I mentioned last week. Annoying thing is auctions made when on Premium can’t be reused after cancelling.
It wasn’t planned but I ended up buying a bunch of doujinshi; digital and paper. That’s about 10k off my extra budget.
I kinda want the tapestry from this. That’ll be 12k and I’ve got no such budget.
Similarly I’m slightly leaning towards getting DC4SH but I’m sure I’ll just backlog it for years and not to mention I’ll need to at least play DC4PH beforehand. And maybe optionally the whole DC series but I think that’s optional? I’ll decide based on my pace next few weeks.
I need to preorder Ambitious Mission Moeoh tapestry. I’m still waiting for it to appear on Amazon though.
There shouldn’t be anything else coming up anytime soon. I think. Short of Yuzusoft announcing their next title.
44.05% closing last week. After a good start first two days, everything went down the rest of the week ending it up lower compared to previous week.
Same deal with iDeCo at 38.79% (16.26% yield).
Which reminded me I should start buying things again starting this month. Buys.
Amazingly sold two items this week. And that cleared up the last multiple items auction I have. I need to remember cancelling the free trial Yahoo! Premium before it ends.
Nothing yet. Maybe sometime this week? I have plenty of unused PC now which I really should get around selling already.
No big purchases over the week. I did buy some ero manga and doujinshi and last month’s Moeoh.
As I’ve preordered (almost) everything last week, there’s nothing new yet. Yuzusoft may come anytime soon now so there’s that. And of course I need to spare enough budgets for the unpaid preorders for next one or two months.
I almost forgot about Ambitious Mission Moeoh tapestry but it’s not in Amazon yet so it may be a while until I can actually preorder it. I have Saga Planets budget remaining but as it will also be used for preorders, it means it’ll take a more while to clear up the budget.
As for Kantoku’s tapestry, I’m skipping it.
Last year ended up barely on target. I hope I don’t as crazy as last year. Especially on computer upgrades.
Looking at last year’s closing post I remembered I made this section so here it is for 2021.
At over half million yen, it’s a bit too much. Some of them have been in planning for years so I hope I don’t need to do this anymore.
16 new eroges on 2021. Or 12 if I exclude preorder for 2022. Meanwhile I cleared a total of 8 titles. It’s better compared to last year but is still pretty slow in term of completion.
As for goods, I count 10 dakimakura covers and 37 tapestries. Both are down compared to previous year.
I’m not going to write down the detail but total spending is a lot less compared to last year. It’s just a bit over half of last year.
Except for FGO which I ended up spending 160k(!). Compare that to 13k previous year. I don’t think I’ll do that ever again.
45.66% last week. Also last year. That’s even more up and I think it’s highest the number for the year. That’s also a lot more compared to last year. I don’t know if this will keep up (I doubt it) but it sure was a good year for stocks.
iDeCo is also up at 39.63% (17.27% yield). It didn’t quite reach the highest for the year but not too bad overall.
Another late post, this one is from November. The expansion pack (?) for Senkou no Clarias. It’s a pretty expensive one all things considered.
A good chunk of the cost went to that acrylic block thing, I bet.
And then there’s the bonus shikishi. I think this is the only R-18 shikishi so far?
Compared to the original, the cover for this one is quite plain especially with that white background.
Happy new year and here’s the first (scheduled) post for this year.
Now I think about it, I should’ve posted this one before that soundtrack CD.
Oh well. It’s the Specialite edition just because. And then there’s the bonus CD from Sofmap and Getchu and Official Store. I think the Official Store one is made redundant by the soundtrack CD but I haven’t checked it (and can’t check since I’m currently migrating data and they’re inaccessible until it’s done). Yep it’s redundant. Good job me.
The content. Also has another drama CD.
And lastly the bonus shikishi. I don’t know why there’s a Natsukuru shikishi in it but sure, fine. Better than balloons of Akikuru at least.
Another weird thing is the Fuyukuru shikishi themselves are B5 sized instead of usual shikishi size.
I have a feeling the CD title is some kind of spoiler but heyyy whatever ( ๏พ ใฎ๏พ)a
There’s also extra downloadable stuff using included code. I’ve opened it but haven’t done anything else beyond downloading the aforementioned stuff.
Here’s how I drowned myself deeper in my backlogs. Five (four if excluding one already in my backlog) new titles. All in one convenient package, complete with soundtracks.
Each are in their own case with booklet on one side and the discs on the other.
Unfortunately two of the cases have their booklet holder slightly teared up. I’m not bothering getting them replaced since I don’t really care that much about the packaging. Although I’ll end up keeping the box just because they’re convenient.
And lastly the bundled calendar from official store. Upon a quick glance it’s clear the images are original cover then the newly drawn image for each titles. But being penta means five means only 10 images available is what I thought. Then I realized they cheated Tenshin Ranman by including both original and the non-ero edition images of it.
At double height A4, it’s pretty large. It sure would be nice if they also label the public holidays instead of just marking them red.
As it turned out I’ve never bought the game at all. And now I have. The bottom right one isn’t a game box but just a booklet.
Bought them for rather cheap from Suruga-Ya.
That’s a nice choice for manual cover.
Full title is Hokenshitsu no Sensei to Shabondama Chuudoku no Joshu which is a bit too long.
Another thing added to the backlog. At least this one should be pretty short being single route and all. And then another route coming up next year.
I try reading this before the second route is released ๐
The large box contains a tall slim DVD case which contains one disc and manual booklet. The inside background is covered but it’s the dakimakura cover image bundled in different version of this which I’m not getting (and is pretty expensive at the moment). Not that I’m planning to get it anyway.
I was checking my collection database and noticed I’m so backlogged this year in term of photo and catalogue. I even missed cataloging at least one thing. And worse, the photo database is missing so many items. I’ve caught up with dakimakura database but tapestry is probably missing quite a lot of things at the moment.
In the meantime, here’s one not so new thing I received last month. It’s my third copy because I sold the first one and then bought another one (for cheap, and in rather terrible condition) and finally this one.
This is the improved version where it’s not barbie design anymore and the actual genital is drawn more properly.
The back side is unfortunately same back pose.
Even more nothingness.
Of course nothing. I did lower price for some stuff though. Probably still not enough seeing the price on second hand stores.
I don’t think I preordered this many things at once before.
First off is Ambitious Mission. As mentioned before, I’m getting from four different stores for Kaguya and Yae stuff.
And while at it I also preordered the Kikka Winter tapestry. It’ll be shipped together with the new game though so it’ll be a while until I actually receive it. I’m skipping the Kaguya New Year tapestry because it’s a bit too safe. Kikka isn’t R-18 either but them thighs and thighhighs are good enough.
And then I’m also getting Nako dakimakura. Too good to skip. I think.
There’s Fuyukuru tapestry of Chiemi & Touko. I’m still very early at the game but I think I like them best at the moment so I’m getting it for now.
Back to eroge, I’ve preordered Unless Terminalia. I think I mentioned it before as well but it’s the all voice drama stores. The addition of Amazon raised the total cost a bit.
Oh and I finally preordered Aokana Extra2. It’s from Amazon because I don’t really care about the bonus. And looking back I probably should just wait and buy it second hand instead when I actually want to play it? Bad decision as usual (though this one is reversible).
And lastly and completely not planned was preordering Hokeloli (and buying Hokejo). The dakimakura doesn’t seem all that good but I like the tapestries quite a lot. Also thighhighs.
I didn’t actually have enough budget for all those above. I did some reshuffling and managed to secure just enough for the online orders (as I can’t delay the charges for those) but it’s impossible to budget for all of them at once. Especially not after the addition of that Hokeloli.
Though I think I should be able to allocate February budget for the rest of them. That said, Yuzusoft budget is currently at 0 because I reallocated them all (and that’s how I managed to secure enough for online orders).
Nothing here. I’ve dealt all that can be dealt for the near future.
…is what I thought but I’m still undecided on Kantoku’s twin tapestry. I’ll figure it out sometime later.
43.62% this week. More up yay. Still haven’t passed the peak from this year though.
iDeCo is again a bit lower at 37.20% (16.34% yield) which is weird. For once it doesn’t follow my normal account even accounting for closing time difference.
Right after posting the weekly thing I remembered about another upcoming thing. I’ve been considering doing separate posts for upcoming titles again and I especially felt that writing for Anmitsu (Ambitious Mission) section in the last post.
Back to topic, Makulove announced hint for new items last Friday. The hint was it’s from their existing titles. People guessed right away it’s Rinka and Nako which seems right on par.
But the thing is.
Nako doesn’t have route.
I remember people wanted it a lot back in around its release day.
But she doesn’t have route.
It sure would be nice if they release an append scenario of her route together with this thing.
I don’t know myself I’ll be getting the covers though.
Inb4 it’s actually silhouette someone else ๐
Still… nothing…
…I really should get around doing stuff for here. Maybe next year ๐
Ikegami Akane artbooks digital edition is out. So I bought one from DMM because the initial plan of getting from DLsite seem to be going to take a while with the item missing from there. And then I remembered about Kindle a while after buying that. Considering another artbook released today (Yano Mitsuki Eushully) is still quite a lot larger on DLsite compared to Kindle, I’ll keep a look on it in case there’s higher quality for Ikegami Akane one as well. That sure is a lot of duplicated purchases. Yay DRM. Imagine if they just sell raw pdf as is and the same across stores.
For reference, there’s no difference between DMM and Kindle in term of censorship for this particular book.
Apart of that, I also bought ef series. first, latter, and fandisc. I thought I’ve already bought them but I haven’t. I’ve always considered them to be part of backlog so this practically doesn’t add anything extra to my backlog. Kind of.
Saga Planets new title, Ambitious Mission is finally announced. A bit of DNS trouble with they new domain aside, I think I like the main heroine this time (Kaguya). May or may not have anything to do with her questionable getup. Yae also looks pretty good so my favorites at the moment are those two. Atena is a bit too big and I’m not much interested in Nijimu.
Charlotte is a bit of ??? at the moment as her character design seem a bit odd. By process of elimination she’s designed by Toranosuke but it just doesn’t seem right. The available images – character stand and one CG – don’t help much either apart of hinting it’s probably not Toranosuke. Current suspect is Kakenuke’s Ritsu illustrator Hanesaki Seika but there isn’t much way to confidently determine at the moment.
Release date is still far away so I should have enough time gathering budget for it. Current store bonus situation indicates I may be buying from Sofmap, Suruga-Ya, Trader, and Official Store. Those will be a bit under 50k and I curerntly have 30k budget already spared for them over the months. Budgeting for this should be easy.
That said, I may also be getting Kikka and Kaguya tapestry from their Winter Fes. The lack of R18 version is unfortunate and I’m waiting until Kaguya tapestry is colored before deciding.
Apart of that, there isn’t much else… oh yeah there’s Kantoku C99 Akemi/Himeru tapestry. No budget for that at the moment so maybe next year. That’s one big tapestry.
A lot of ups and downs over the week and the end result for last week is 41.28% which is… actually up by 0.15% compared to last week o_o
I didn’t expect that because there seemed to be more downs than ups. And that’s why I have this section here.
Unfortunately it isn’t reflected in iDeCo with 37.29% (16.38% yield) which is down by 0.72%.
Nothing here.
Also nothing. I still haven’t done anything about the PC either. On the weird side note I also now have another unused PC. That was not very smart of me. I could’ve saved 13k by not buying new case and PSU.
I just checked my spending over this week and noticed there’s nothing at all apart of groceries and food and utilities. That’s quite rare.
Well, considering the remaining safe budget for me for this month is only 1300 yen, that works out fine. The question is whether or not I can keep it until this month ends.
Saga Planets new title will be announced next week. It’s got moon and witch? And written by Sakaki Kasa who also did Kinkoi among others. Expectation is high.
On another note, there’s not much update anywhere else. I’ll probably go with Whirlpool as usual. I still haven’t decided on Asa Project yet. And there’s no news from Yuzusoft.
Oh, and I almost forgot about Aokana Extra 2 but as mentioned in other posts it’ll be at least January before I preorder it.
Talking about forgotten thing, Sakura no Toki sure isn’t coming out anytime soon. Definitely not 2021.
41.13% closing this week. A lot of up yay. There are a few large downs over the week but so are the ups. That said, it’s still not quite back to the level two weeks ago.
38.01% (16.34% yield) for iDeCo. Same situation here.
Nothing here.
Also nothing.
I’m still not quite decided what to do with this extra system. I don’t have extra GPU so selling it would also mean selling the GPU in my test system which means that one won’t have useful GPU for Windows (it still has generic server graphics chip on it).
Preordered Fuyukuru Song CD and bought the late Digital Lover doujinshi. Also bought 10k FGO SQ.
And then my budget ran out for this month. There’s still some brand-specific eroge budget which I suppose I could repurpose in case something interesting came up.
Saga Planets new title announcement is coming up this month. Probably. I have about 30k budget for them which is most likely not going to be enough if buying multiple copies but there should be enough time to save up.
Meanwhile there’s no news from Yuzusoft at all.
As for Whirlpool’s Unless Terminalia, it looks like they’re still doing that DLC voice drama thing after all so that’ll be 45k if I do end up getting them all.
I almost forgot about Futakoi but that one is still kinda far away anyway.
38.38%. That’s a lot of downs. It’s pretty much back to the number in October. Thanks, omicron. It recovered a bit on Friday but clearly not enough.
iDeCo is also down at 32.86% (14.36% yield).
Nothing here
*crickets*
That said, I really need to get around selling this extra PC eventually as it’s just filling up my room. The lack of good spare GPU kinda sucks though. Maybe I should first get a cheap GPU to fill it with but at current market state it may be a bit difficult.
And of course there’s still those doujinshi stacks I need to sort out ๐
So, um, I didn’t buy any goods recently.
And that’s mainly because I blew my savings this month for computer stuff. After the CPU upgrade and HDD replacement (which turned out to be not really needed), I spent some more money getting an SSD upgrade. The current one – Silicon Power A55 – turned out to be incredibly slow on prolonged load and causing errors on Windows 10 (under FreeBSD bhyve). Replacing it with a Samsung 860 EVO I had in hand and a Crucial MX500 bought new fixed the problem. And caused a bit more than 10k yen hole in my budget, resulting in negative savings for this month.
ASa Project announced their new title, Futakoi. I’m still heavily backlogged on their titles so I don’t know yet if I’ll get this one. The premise seems rather interesting though. And so does their previous title.
Unless Terminalia store bonus info is up except it doesn’t quite list other extras properly just yet. Checking the stores individually indicates Sofmap, Getchu, Melonbooks, and Amazon may include some kind of voice drama DLC. That’ll be quite expensive.
On the bright side, this year is ending and short of me fucking up budget for next month again, I should have some leeway starting next year. Maybe.
43.88%. That’s down. It seems to have been downward over the week and it sure is down in the end. At least it’s less than 1%.
Surprisingly iDeCo is up very slightly at 39.92% (17.77% yield) although I expect it to go down right after opening due to closing timing as usual.
One of the things sold last week ended up cancelled as there’s no response from the bidder. Thankfully the same thing was bid this week and it’s already shipped. Also sold some more other stuff for total of 48% loss.
Still… nothing…
I’ve been busy dealing with internet and hardware updates.
A.M.R dakimakura cover preorder has started. Preordered straight away along with other goodies.
And when I thought I’m done with hardware upgrades and stuff, I find out the budget Silicon Power I’m using for system array for my server is too slow to the point virtualized Windows 10 crashing when it’s under heavy load. One 1TB non-shit SSD was then in order.
Oh and the 10 SATA cables I bought recently also ended up being shit. That was a waste of money (2400yen, even).
And because of that, I ended up buying two 8TB NAS drives when the problem is actually on the cables. Welp. Should still be useful for spares at least.
Website for Whirlpool new title, Unless Terminalia, is finally open. No info on store bonus yet but it’ll probably more or less just like previous ones? As for character design, I’m not quite sure if I particularly like any of them. They’re all nice. It’s just there’s nothing I find outstanding. Can also a bit smaller.
I noticed I didn’t budget Whirlpool at all though. It shouldn’t be too difficult with March release.
Talking about March release, I still haven’t done anything for Aokana Extra 2. I don’t have any budget left for this year so maybe next year.
Winter Comiket 99 is coming up next month as well although I’ll probably stay home this time. Lottery for entry ticket sure isn’t helping.
44.57% this week which is surprisingly up from previous week. It felt like it was mostly down half the week but it’s still more up than down.
39.44% (17.58% yield) for iDeCo which is… very slightly up. Better than down.
Sold two things for 76% loss ;_; The remaining stuff will probably all like that.
I still haven’t done anything here due to system upgrades.
Finally preordered the Yuzusoft thing. I preordered it from the official store as originally planned.
Nothing much else from eroge related stuff.
Meanwhile on PC side, decided on upgrading to another Ryzen instead. The final bill is around 90k which is quite a lot. It already includes a new case and other things so I can also upgrade my dev system from old Ivy Bridge Xeon.
I still haven’t preordered Aokana Extra 2 due to… lack of budget. I’ll probably do it next month as I ran out of budget (and some).
There’s also Fuyukuru OST CD. I don’t have any from previous series though. Maybe one day I’ll get around getting them all.
There’s no news on A.M.R new pillow cover yet. They said something is coming this month so it could be anytime soon. If not delayed, that is.
Still waiting on that Sagaplanets news… Inb4 it’s once they start the final pillow cover preorder.
43.48%. That’s… not up at all. Not much down either thankfully. I think it’s down over the week and only recovered a bit on the last day.
Similarly 39.28% (17.19% yield) on iDeCo side.
I’m supposed to post this two months ago :D
But yeah, the thing which I haven’t even read the original series yet. I got from Melonbooks for that Romi acrylic stand thing.
The box is uselessly big.
Without that tapestry inside, it’s even more uselessly big.
I haven’t ironed that tapestry yet. It’s just thin material though so that’s mildly annoying.
Sold one thing for again 50% loss. I’m running low of things on YJA.
I still haven’t put up more stuff this week as I was quite busy with random things over the week.
Hopefully next week? And maybe the doujinshi as well?
Nothing here yet.
I’m still waiting for Yuzusoft Pentabox bonus info although at this point I doubt there will be any more significant update. Maybe I should actually preorder from the official store sometime next week.
I haven’t preordered Aokana Extra 2 either. I don’t think I’m changing plan so it should happen soon-ish.
I don’t think I’ll go ahead with Study Steady at the moment. As I mentioned last week, my Marmalade backlog is already long as is.
I have a feeling I’m forgetting something rather important…
As for PC upgrade, the pricing is pretty crazy at the moment for Alder Lake setup. And looking at some ASRock motherboard page, at least for X570 they explicitly mention ECC is supported so maybe my current setup is fine? Weirdly the one previously on my server doesn’t have any such options in BIOS unlike the ASUS board previously on my desktop. Both are swapped so at least the server now should have confirmed-ish ECC setup functioning. It’s very lacking in ports though. Even worse the ASRock B450 board that’s now in my desktop has unfortunate PCIe lane layout resulting in my NVMe running in x2 mode instead of maximum x4. Not that it matters much. I’ll check my X570 board tomorrow (in the office) and see how the BIOS is in that one. So maybe I’ll end up with some Ryzen 7 or 9 instead. And 3200MT DDR4 ECC which I found available for way cheaper and actually available compared to DDR5…
Heck, even getting a workstation board is still cheaper than going Alder Lake. The annoying problem still is the lack of onboard VGA. And that board doesn’t have enough SATA ports (fixable).
43.64%. Almost 2% up which is nice.
As for iDeCo it’s currently under maintenance…
I’ll check back tomorrow morning. 40.04% (17.49%) for iDeCo which is quite a lot of up.
Sold three things at almost 50% loss total (again).
Nothing here. Apparently I said I’ll put up some dakimakura covers this week but that didn’t happen. I also found out that I still have one more PC thing I need to sold (and old USB hub).
I should get around doing them sometime this week, I guess.
…nothing here. Well, apart of some SQ for FGO JP account. I’m taking the budget from monthly junk food budget so it’s probably a good thing in the end.
On Yuzusoft Pentabox, I think the tapestries are indeed just the SFW new drawings already on the page. I’ll wait a bit more just to be sure before placing order on the official store. I just hope it doesn’t get sold out before then.
Aokana Extra 2 is actually happening. I don’t think I’ll be keeping the goods anymore so I’ll grab from either Suruga-Ya or Sofmap. Probably Suruga-Ya as they have free shipping. As I checked it just now, it’s more expensive on Sofmap because they also include double suede version of their original tapestry.
Study Steady 2 is coming. The not-Azusa seems interesting and their coloring seem a bit better this time but my Marmalade backlog is so long already I think it’s better for me to not touch this one.
And so there’s barely anything on my upcoming eroge list. Which is a good thing because my backlog is a thing.
Continuing PC thing last week, I’ll probably end up getting new Intel CPU instead of upgrading to more cores Ryzen. The main reason being either FreeBSD’s or Ryzen’s VM has some problem running Windows. Some apps just randomly crash. It was worse in FreeBSD 12 but it’s still not good enough yet. Also I really hate dealing with ECC. The cheap choice so far are either unvalidated AMD system or outdated second hand server/workstation system or overpriced validated system. DDR5 is coming and it’s got ECC for the chips themselves.
There’s no ECC on transfer channel (so it’s not end to end) but my experiences with bad memory so far have been in the chips. I’ll hang around a bit in the relevant forums hoping for some opinions and stuff but unless it’s really worse than unvalidated AMD system I’ll probably go ahead with it.
41.73%. It was up and down over the week so I’m just happy it doesn’t end up lower.
Unfortunately iDeCo went down a bit at 37.11% (16.36% yield) although I believe it’s yet another timing thing.
I had a feeling that I don’t have enough emergency cash around and after checking the actual numbers, sure enough I don’t. I’ve readjusted target for this year and thus ended up overshooting the investment spending. Not sure how I’ll recoup the balance back. Especially with the incoming system upgrade I mentioned above.
Sold four things at almost 50% loss total. Not too bad I guess? Looking again, I’m not actually sure about the purchase value so it’s probably way off. I still have no good solution for accounting value of bundled items.
Uh, yeah, I’m still looking at the pile of doujinshi I should sort out.
And I still haven’t put up the dakimakura covers either.
Maybe sometime this week.
Bought the entire MeltdoWN COmet digital doujinshi for about 4k. They’ve been on my backlog for a long time.
I don’t think there’s anything else in term of other 2D stuff…?
Meanwhile on computing side, I bought two 1TB SSD so I can run more VM on my server. And then one of my storage hard drive just had to die, costing me about as much as the SSDs I bought. The end result is I missed my saving target for this month by about 10k unless I sell more things before end of this month.
About Yuzusoft Pentabox, it looks like the tapestries are using the new illustrations already on the page? If that’s actually true, I’ll just get it from official store for the calendar. Or Amazon if it’s sold out as I’ll be waiting until more definite information is available.
There’s still no other interesting thing came up.
On unrelated news, I’ll probably be switching back to Intel at least for my servers as running VM on Ryzen seems to cause a lot of problems. I’ll be doing more tests on this first though. This will cost quite a bit. I think I’ll be about at least 60k…
41.02%. That’s more up yay. Last day went down a bit but overall still almost 2% up compared to last week.
As for iDeCo, it’s even higher at 37.40% (17.17% yield). It’s even higher probably because the timing again carrying over from previous week last hours increase.
