Is killing alien dogs wrong? 👽🐕💥🔫👩‍✈️

Unfortunately, it rained around 5:20 AM on Saturday. I had already woken up at 4:30 AM to make my coffee, scramble some eggs, pack my backpack, and change clothes ahead of time for the event that was supposed to start at 6:00 AM. I was really disappointed when they had to cancel it because of the thunder, even though it wasn't that bad and by 6:10 AM, the rain has already slowed down and there was no more thunder. Since I had already eaten, drank my coffee mixed with cinnamon, cocoa powder, honey and taken my creatine, I couldn't fall back asleep. To shake off the frustration, I decided to play a bit more Zero Tolerance, continuing from where I left off last week.

I think I missed a secret room inside Floor 163. I remembered there were cameras with alarms on this floor of the building, when the alarms went off, doors would open and enemies would rush you, which was risky. So I destroyed the cameras from a distance. But when I reached the far south of the map, I found a completely sealed room... too late.

Honestly, that building level wasn’t hard. It was really easy to find shotgun ammo on every floor and the robots weren't that tough either. I even used the Laser Aimed Gun they drop when they die, but it's not very accurate and takes a lot of shots to bring down the enemy robots. The only real trouble I had was with an infected human enemy who threw a grenade, but since I was wearing a vest, I was protected and didn't let them get close again. The maps have wide spaces, so you just need to move slowly and take them out one by one. The dogs, they went down easily with a shotgun from a distance. I stockpiled the Rocket Launcher up to Floor 151 to fight the boss, after clearing the maps, I collected a total of 60 rockets and only used 10 on the boss, leaving 50 for the next stage in the Sub-Basement. However, I ended up losing my bulletproof vest, which is a very important item. Even so, I was well-equipped with 99 Pulse Laser, 50 Rocket Launcher, 60% Fire Extinguisher, 99 Shotgun and 6 Handgun rounds, thanks to the character's unique ability to use handgun ammo and her superior firearm skill compared to the others on the character select screen.

The 2nd phase was quick. I could’ve continued playing the Sub-Basement, but I'll leave that for next week. I woke up early and had breakfast really early, so I got hungry again before lunch. I also need to review my studies, it's good to keep things balanced. I don’t want to spend the whole day gaming or binge-watching series and even doing pixel art all day can get exhausting. So I try to divide my day with different activities to avoid burnout.

On Sunday, I got up later. I wanted to stay in bed longer but couldn't. Since it rained through the night and early morning, my sleep was great. I caught up on some anime series like I usually do on weekends.

Boku no Hero, It felt like a final episode, but it wasn't. It was one of those episodes where the side characters reminisce about moments with the protagonist from previous seasons. There are so many characters in this universe, some I barely remembered. The animation is still excellent and the story is quite different. The anime keeps delivering great fights and memorable scenes between various characters. I wouldn't mind if the ending went in a different direction instead of relying on the usual display of overwhelming powers and massive explosions.

Spy x Family, Great setup for the next episode! I feel like the story is progressing and getting closer to the Desmonds. It's already the third season, so the characters and their story arcs need to evolve.

To Your Eternity, So they became too small to be noticed, yet they still seem to have traces of evil. Also, Mizuha attacked her mother, so she definitely has a Nokker inside her. If Fushi lays eggs, would the offspring be natural? Since he copies the genetics of objects and beings, I think so.

Gnosia, A cat passing through a guy’s neck, never thought I'd see a design like that. This anime is really unique. They even added a "Doctor" role to the game, I mean, anime. A story with time loops really needs fresh ideas to keep us entertained.

The Long Walk, That’s right... a movie among the anime list. I felt like watching something with real actors for a change and I'd seen the trailer for this movie a while ago, it caught my interest. I liked how it was put together, the situations each participant faces, their struggles, their personalities and the actor's performances. From what I read online, the ending is different in the movie than in the original book. I read the book's ending and between the two, I preferred the movie, it felt more satisfying. I think I'd have done the same.

Starting the week going to the gym, I struggled a bit. Maybe I didn't eat enough dinner last night, or maybe it's the lack of sleep... or perhaps the days I skipped workouts to rest before the event that didn’t even happen. I'm not sure, but I was feeling unmotivated and ended up skipping my run. I'll wait to see if the swimming event happens this Saturday,  if not, I'll go back to doing two workouts in the morning, one after the other. After the gym, I worked and studied until night.

Since last week was so busy and tight, I almost lost motivation to continue with the redesigns and palette adjustments for a few days. So I decided to switch to the People sets, since they only have Face/Bust and Character as design variations, it might give me a little boost to stay on track until I finish them. I started with People1_1 and People5_1, the Boy👦, unlike other RTPs, in this case, set 5 is just a recolor of set 1, with no changes to the character's features, just color swaps. Initially, I had planned only two designs in the center of the image following the Face/Bust idea. For People5_1, I thought about improving the outfit to my liking. I ended up making two more versions for both sets, faithfully following the Character design, but I still prefer of center sprites.
