The Michael Swayne Story V: King of his Castle

So, I have finished Nier for a fourth time. This playthrough was a speedrun in order to earn the Lightspeed Fighter trophy. I had to finish the game in 15 hours. I completed it in 7. It was difficult, and I died in a couple places. But time kept ticking, and I didn't get discouraged. Near the end, I stopped worrying about the time. I would defeat a boss, and look at the game clock. When it showed I had nine hours left, I was like, "I got this!" I wasn't freaking out that some of the lines in a cutscene was heard, or that I would sometimes pause the game to get some water or something. I finished the game in the low 20s in terms of level. I guess I didn't do as much grinding in my other save file as I thought. I finished the first playthrough of it at Level 29-30.

Anyway, there's only five trophies left to get. The two weapon upgrades trophies, the trophy for having one million gold, seeing the fourth ending, and the Platinum. Man of Means will be the easiest for me to get. I am already working on earning it, due to me having some of the rare flower seeds (White Moonflowers). If I grow the flowers, I can sell them for five thousand gold each. I only need 200,000 gold. And with the trick I learned, I don't have to wait for days and days to grow them. I can simply change the time on the PS3's clock. Two days goes by in seconds.

And for the weapon upgrades trophies, I will have to look at a guide and see what items I need to buy, and which ones I'll need to find. Then I will use the money to buy the parts, and spend hours fighting robots to get the parts I need. After all of that is done, I can go and finish the game and see the fourth ending. And that's when I will get the Ending D trophy, as well as the Platinum.

Moving on...

Carma bought Joey a Nintendo 3DS. It came in the mail today. In my head, I facepalmed. It's not my place to say anything, but he really isn't the type to take care of his toys. I predict the 3DS will be broken before he turns 7. I asked why she didn't just get a 2DS for him, and she said that Amazon didn't have them. I think the real reason is because 3 is greater than 2, and she only wanted the best for Joey. Oh well, I was asked to set it up, and so I did. It looks fancy. It makes me want one, but I shall not give in. If anything, I will buy a 2DS. It made my eyes hurt looking at the 3D screen while setting it up. All else, Joey will grow tired of it, and I can probably buy his cheap from Carma.

Anyway, I am typing this with what little time I have left to possibly sleep. I mean, I could leave later in the day for work, but I really like the quiet and solitude that is delivering in the early morning. I still have to print out Mom's Mother's Day card. I am going to give it to her tomorrow, just in case something happens and we can't be together on Sunday. The plan is to go and have a picnic lunch in the park in Peebles on Sunday. I thought of the idea. After meeting on Easter didn't happen, I figured it would be better if I went to her instead of her coming to me. So, I will make a special trip to town that day.

My bed broke today. The wooden railing thing broke on one corner, making the bed lopsided. So, I propped it up with a brick. I was getting out of it, and then I heard a popping sound that didn't come from my back. I will tell Carma the next time I see her about getting it fixed. It is pretty stable now, but it will still need fixed sometime.

Well, that's all for now. I hope to see you around the forums, and until then...

Later!

Michael
