Nope.

Future in

Also nope? Or maybe I’ll finally get around selling some unused computer hardware sometime this week.

Out

I figured I should just preorder Fuyukuru for now and that’s what I did.

Meanwhile on computing side, I bought a new monitor to replace my starting-to-fail 8 years old monitor. It’s very much overpriced but I hope it’ll be a significant upgrade.

Combined, I sure have cleared my monthly budget pretty quick. Or I didn’t because I spread the accounting for those purchases over several months in the future similar to NAS upgrade I did a few months ago. The downside is of course available budget for next few months will be less.

Future out

Despite all those rather big spending, I still have a few more things I probably should preorder sometime soon. Namely Fate/Grand Carnival (FGC) and Onigyu Anime.

For FGC I may end up buying from Amazon because it’ll be cheaper there. Or somewhere else if I can find better deal. The tapestry from Tora no Ana seems pretty nice but I don’t think I need anime art tapestries. Or maybe I’ll change my mind once they publish the colored version of the bonus.

As for Onigyu Anime, on similar vein with FGC, I’ll probably buy from the cheapest store I can find… unless I change my mind and buy from Tora no Ana (again!) for that Sumi tapestry. That said, even though it’s better than the FGC one, I don’t think it’s better than my favorite tapestries I currently own and I really need to hold back on piling up tapestries.

I think I keep saying that every now and then still end up buying more tapestries anyway 👀

While writing this, I remembered about the Kakenuke console port release coming up this August. I’ll probably buy one from Animate. Or will I?

And lastly which I also just remembered, there’s that Tsukihime thing coming up (also August). I’m not going to play on console (as I don’t have any) but I’ll be keeping an eye on the bonus tapestries. It may be interesting.

Investments

32.67% last week. That’s a lot of up from previous week. I didn’t keep track of news etc so I’m not quite sure if there’s anything significant happened.

As for iDeCo, it’s 29.76% (16.29% yield). Slightly lower increase compared to general account due to composition difference.

I planned to buy some funds this month but stuff purchases I mentioned above kinda killed it whoops. Maybe next month.

By they way, as an aside, best performer fund for me so far is international stock fund which is way ahead of anything else.

On the far second place is Japanese stock fund. Quick estimate says it’s at 30% (vs 50% first place).

Third is international bond at less than 10%. Now I look closer, it’s quite a lot worse than I thought (or the Japanese stock is performing better).

On last position is Japanese bond which is at 1%… after 3 years. I shouldn’t have bothered at all. Even worse in my iDeCo account it’s still on negative. At least it’s the lowest percentage in my portfolio but it’s annoying regardless. I wonder if I should just drop it but Japanese government is probably at its worst (especially at handling the trainwreck that is Olympics and also the pandemic) at the moment and thus there’s potential for something interesting to happen. Hopefully sooner than later but it’s Japan so who knows.
