What sort of joy should I experience?

My sister has a blog about her quilting experiences, which I link to with this link if you are interested. I am also a bit interested in trying a crafting hobby and found out there is a stained-glass studio a mile from my apartment. After seeing the beautiful stained glass floors in the Dive into the Hearts in the Kingdom Hearts series, I am intrigued at making similar beautiful displays of glass.

But one thing I read on a recent post in my little sister's blog got me thinking about my current lifestyle and how bad it is right now:

"I think I will find more joy in making quilts out of the fabrics that bring me the most joy than just keeping them there to look pretty on a shelf."

This was after she talked about giving away fabrics that she wasn't using. And to me I realized that maybe I was not utilizing my games to the fullest potential.

I just downloaded Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars for my Vita, but I am having second thoughts about playing this game. After all, buying new games when you haven't platinumed your old games is a bit of a waste. You're just avoiding the old games.

And I think the reason I hate the old games is because they aren't fun anymore. I'm slowly getting the trophies I need for my Summer Backlog challenge... but... it's not really fun anymore. I only have three more trophies for Ni No Kuni... but two of them require a ton of fights just to get the stuff you need to evolve monsters and craft items. I know I only have 1/3 of the items for Mad Scientist because half of the list requires insanely rare drops or steals from monsters. The third is the ultimate arena rank battle, which is very hard to win at my level.

Then there are the Ratchet and Clank games which have a bunch of annoying things. Ratchet and Clank 2 will require some insane ring races, Ratchet and Clank 3 Challenge Mode is already started, and I haven't even gone back to the reboot on PS4 yet.

Then there's Okage, which has lost its charm. I'm close to halfway through the game, but I have to deal with semi-random encounters and you can't flee all the time as you run out of magic power to do so. Add to the list of games three Disgaea titles(which are insane as they are) and Digimonstory. And then there's Wizard101 and Kingdom Hearts Unchained X and Pokemon Y...

As you can tell, I have a lot on my platter and I'm getting crushed with it!

My sister Anna has put things into a bit of perspective for me. The reason I don't want to have a job is because it will take away free time, and I need every minutes of every day to do gaming... but I'm not in the mood to game so I waste my life watching Youtube videos. I need to figure out what to do.

The most important thing I need to do: Get those Platinum Trophies so I can kick the games to the curb and make room for new games and that means I have to avoid buying anything new until I am done with what I have. So I do plan on getting the platinums!

I apologize for the rant, but I need to get this off of my chest. Expect new updates when I get the platinums. Ciao for now!
