I just saw this and instantly thought of you lol. It did give me a few questions to ask though:
- Would you ever buy any scale model cars with a Miku theme on them like this one or nah?
- If you have any awareness of various Miku themed cars, do you have a favourite you've seen?
- Would you ever have a Miku wrap on your own car?
I feel like all of these will be a no but maybe I'll be wrong.

Ah, I see my habit of forgetting to reply to posts in this topic will never leave me.
The Star Ocean series is very good depending on what game we're talking about. 1-3 are deemed the best of the series, although the fanbase is pretty split on 3 due to the twist at the end. Honestly there's nothing wrong with it and 3 is, in my opinion, the best of the series to this day. SO4 has the best combat in the series, but the story falls flat and the characters are pretty meh. 5 was a steaming pile of dog shit no matter how you try looking at it. I'm not sure on how SO6 is though, as I've yet to get around to playing it. Hopefully I can make time for it later this year though.

1. Nah. Not a big fan of cars in general, so don't really have any interesting in buying a scale model car even if Miku is plastered all over it.
2. I did see one car that someone in Japan had that was pretty awesome, but I can't remember where I saw it and wouldn't have a clue on what to search to try and find it again.
3. Probably not. I'd be too worried about it getting ruined in some way to want to invest in having it put on my car. I'd also feel like I'd have to have a nice enough car to do something like that, which is probably not something I'll ever have.

Would you put a Miku wrap on something else then like a console or PC build? Could just be making a PC with a Miku themed case rather than a wrap tbf.

I was going to ask this a few days ago but the second I came in here I forgot my question immediately, but it just came back to me!
Did you bother to set a gaming goal for this year at all? I noticed your signature still has your missed goal for getting 50 Platinum trophies in 2023 so wondered if you'd just not bothered to set any type of goal (trophy hunting or otherwise) for this year.

To answer your previous question, I would be much more willing to put some Miku decor on like my PS5 or something. PC case I might if I could find one that I would like enough, though I kind of like having my RGB colors in my PC case and not sure if I'd want to set it to one solid color to match a Miku theme.
For you second question, I just kept my goal this year at trying to get 50 platinums. We'll see how close I actually get. Maybe I should make it combined 100% completions between PS and PC, since it's kind of hard to do it when I'm also playing a bunch of games on PC throughout the year.

I was curious if Miku has a color scheme of sorts that could be cycled through, and the best I found was this palette that has a few varying tones in it. I also discovered during my search for that that apparently Miku's color palette was based off a Yamaha keyboard, which I never knew before so I'm curious if you knew that?

Yeah, that would probably be better especially when you tend to go for double Platinum's for games that are on both PS5 and PC. Also, I'm guessing what makes 50 attainable is having a backlog of games to get Platinum trophies for? I'm not under the impression you buy 50+ games a year (especially if only PS4/PS5 games are counted because of the Platinum goal).

I was not aware of that, but that definitely makes sense now that I look at that image.
Yeah, my backlog is what makes it possible for me to put my goal at 50/year, haha. I have hundreds of PS4 games to play still, my PS5 backlog is starting to build, and I still have double digit PS3 and Vita games to play. If I had nothing else to do with my life but play games, I could easy put my goal at 200/yr and would probably have 2-3 years of games to play to meet that goal each year, haha.
I do buy quite a lot of games a year, both new releases and previous releases that I hadn't gotten around to yet (like my recent purchase of Sekiro). Maybe not 50+ a year, but I definitely come in around the 20-30 mark in new game purchases every year.

Did you ever have a backlog with any of your consoles pre-PS3 or did it really only start to build up from the PS3 onwards?

Welcome back!
Because your signature reminded me of how poorly your goals for platinum trophies haven't gone well for the past couple of years. has this year gone any better for you on that front or no?

No, it's still been pretty bad. I've had a lot of crap going on in life the last year and my gaming time overall has really taken a huge hit, and some recent events that have occurred the last couple of weeks has really caused my gaming time to take a huge blow. I think I've only gotten four or five platinums this year so far. I've also put more emphasis on PC gaming this year, so that definitely takes away from my ability to platinum games.

Ah, I'm not surprised at the low number occurring for another year in a row, but I hope that whatever offline stuff has been happening for you recently gets better if it's something that can. 
Oh, and I feel you on the PC gaming time front. I haven't touched my PS5 since May and even then it was for maybe a few hours at best.

Welcome back to UG, DL.
I know we still continued to talk about the three mutual ongoing games we're playing on Discord, I just didn't want to prise anything outside of them because I'm not entirely good to talk to about such stuff. We're all at an age now where crap happens to ourselves or others we know, or things changing, and at least our generation has gaming to distract us a bit and enjoy something, even if we're having to lose game time to deal with it. I also hope things get better soon.

Thanks you guys. I posted about it kind of in the how was your day/week thread, but to explain here, I've been going through a very hard time recently in life because I got fired from my job at the end of August. I'll explain about it and put it in a spoiler, because it'll be kind of long and talking about a lot of struggles I'm having in life. If anyone cares to read it, you can, but then those who don't want to don't have to see it.
I had a co-worker who didn't like me and after making comments towards me insinuating that he was going all of the work that night and I wasn't doing anything (this is like an hour into him being there that night, when I was there on time and he was almost an hour late -- oh, and he had come in the Saturday night before this and told me and another co-worker that he hates us and that we're useless workers, so there was a bit of tension already because of that), and instead of blowing it off like I would normally do and have always done, I instead snapped at him. In the end I'm the one who was punished by being suspended and eventually terminated. This was all just the eventual build-up from life just constantly kicking me the last year or so. My mother (who worked the same job) suffered a back injury in 2024 that eventually took her out of being able to work in August of 2024, and eventually she required back surgery at the end of October of 2024. After her recover, she attempted to return to work in... February or March of this years, but unfortunately the lasting effects of her back injury prevented her from being able to continue to work, and unfortunately still prevent her from being able to hold a job.
So for the last year or so I've felt the major need to try and "pick up the slack" for her and support not only myself, but her as well while she waits on the State to process her Disability claim, which is unfortunately an extremely long ordeal. They told her it could take up to something like 280 days to process the application (gotta love the "Oh, we're sorry you can't work and can't make any money and desperately need help, but please wait while we sit on our asses and do nothing for a year" attitude the State has) and even though she would be back-paid for the time she waited, there's also a chance they deny her claim and then she has to wait for the appeal process to go through. She did get EBT from the State after a long hassle, though considering the cost of food now days, it's not much. So of course as her son, I've felt the need to try and support her as well, even though I don't have a career and was just working a retail job. Working overnights at my job did give me a decent amount of pay compared to other retail jobs (I was making $21.50/hr at time of termination), but it's still never felt like enough given the current economic situation.
I admitted that I made a huge mistake snapping at my co-worker (I've never been afraid to admit when I screw up), I don't know why I did it because that wasn't like me at all. I've never had any issues with previous co-workers (even ones I didn't care for, I still worked with them just fine), but I guess I just hit an unfortunate breaking point with all the stress I accumulated over the last year and then having him say things to me like he did, and then try to say that I don't do any work after having busted my ass off for that place for the last four years, just was too much for my mental to handle in the moment. Instead of just writing me up (never had been written up before, no warnings of any kind that I was made aware of, always did good at the job) and putting me on a probation period like I had hoped, they just straight up terminated me. Now I'm really struggling coping with the loss of the job (I've constantly feeling extremely depressed, having a hard time eating and sleeping, lots of... dark thoughts, to put it nicely) and how I'm going to make life work. I'm worried that I might let my mother down and not be able to pay her bills/house payments and she'll lose the house, I'm worried about being able to support my cats (I will legit go weeks without food before I ever make them go a day without food) and all the jobs that I can find that I can possibly get are a huge pay decrease, like $7 to $8 per hour less. Which is causing me to have extreme indecision on looking for a new job because I don't know how long I'd be able to maintain our lives on that small of pay.
With the continued difficulties of the economy, ever increasing prices of everything, and feeling like I'm in a dead end because I have no career paths/degrees/HSD or GED, being in my mid 30s, I just feel like everything is going to crumble down and I'm going to lose everything in my life, and it's causing me a lot of issues right now. The only small silver lining I have is that I was able to withdraw my 401K from that job, and after taxes and the 10% early withdrawal fee, I came away with $9,300 to keep me afloat for a bit).
If anyone read this far, thank you for taking the time to do so. I know it's a lot of negativity, but I'm having a really hard time in my life right now and I appreciate anyone willing to take their time to hear out my venting. Even if you don't know what to say/how to respond to this, just know that you taking your time to read my problems means a lot to me in this really hard time. I have trouble opening up and sharing my feelings, so this was actually really hard for me to type out and post, haha.

Thanks you guys. I posted about it kind of in the how was your day/week thread, but to explain here, I've been going through a very hard time recently in life because I got fired from my job at the end of August. I'll explain about it and put it in a spoiler, because it'll be kind of long and talking about a lot of struggles I'm having in life. If anyone cares to read it, you can, but then those who don't want to don't have to see it.
I had a co-worker who didn't like me and after making comments towards me insinuating that he was going all of the work that night and I wasn't doing anything (this is like an hour into him being there that night, when I was there on time and he was almost an hour late -- oh, and he had come in the Saturday night before this and told me and another co-worker that he hates us and that we're useless workers, so there was a bit of tension already because of that), and instead of blowing it off like I would normally do and have always done, I instead snapped at him. In the end I'm the one who was punished by being suspended and eventually terminated. This was all just the eventual build-up from life just constantly kicking me the last year or so.
