It&#8217;s been quite a long while trying to sort everything back out that I came to leave a quick mini-update for those that still care after seeing figure.fm die out. I&#8217;ve been insanely busy that I couldn&#8217;t really tend to anything Busou Shinki, Varakitsu, nor photoshoot related matters. Neither with meet-ups, and the like. Either that, or people just didn&#8217;t want to have fun so everything was more focused on games, game events, and KanColle itself.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 551px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/blogpics\/May\/ats_00015.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/blogpics\/May\/ats_00015.png\" width=\"551\" height=\"310\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8211; My lovely &#8216;new&#8217; W900 in American Truck Simulator.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>It really pains me that I can&#8217;t keep up with real-life, gaming, &amp; blogging. I&#8217;m so far behind on my KanColle logs, more so with figure related matters that I can feel it hurting everywhere. In a way, it has brought me peace, yet it makes me feel guilty for not being able to share more Busou Shinki related content. I barely got that &#8216;FA:G&#8217; article out, yet nothing other. Having a new computer for a few months now should also makes sense I would start playing games I didn&#8217;t have access to previously.<\/p>\n<p>I even missed Varakitsu&#8217;s birthday, yet made it up to her on &#8216;Phantasy Star Online 2 by giving her more accessories. Leveled her up in another class, as well as playing around with Renge on there.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 551px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/blogpics\/May\/pso20160427_142209_004.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/blogpics\/May\/pso20160427_142209_004.png\" width=\"551\" height=\"310\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8211; Happily with Lobby Action 44 &amp; 61 &lt;3<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 551px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/blogpics\/May\/pso20160427_142235_007.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/blogpics\/May\/pso20160427_142235_007.png\" width=\"551\" height=\"310\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Trying to figure out if she&#8217;s better with short or longer hair. She looks awesome either way to me.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It&#8217;s been insane. So much distractions &amp; &#8216;lost-in-thought&#8217; that it was hard to keep up with everything. I even have a back-log of adding Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans to my &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=229\">Canadian Pride&#8217; article<\/a> with Edmonton being proudly displayed in a brutal battle in that series. Lots of gaming events, starting new game profiles, streaming, and failing to tend to things appropriately. Just so many bases to cover.<\/p>\n<p>It didn&#8217;t help that I even got brutally sick on March 7th that it knocked me out for a good week; Carrying over into the second as severe coughs. Getting so sick that I woke up with shivers that I had to hide under the bedsheets at 5:30 am in the morning (work). Came to work with insane shivers, coughing, fatigue, and shit that I still wonder how I survived. It was &#8216;fine&#8217; at around noon so I didn&#8217;t head home to then scale up again at the three hours left that my shivers were serious. I came home, played a bit of KanColle, spaced out so hard that I chose to go to sleep at 5 pm&#8230;.. I was so horrible that I couldn&#8217;t eat, nor could I see light as white, more like yellow. My eyes were red, nearly blood-shot. My coughs were severe that they woke me up. It was just dreadful.<\/p>\n<p>I also have to thank my American Admiral (Technohornist) for sending me that package. A KanColle related package. Sorry, but I will get to it eventually. It&#8217;s still waiting to be photoshooted because I&#8221;m both a busy &amp; easily distracted person. Thanks for the Poi!<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 520px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/blogpics\/May\/KanColle1083.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/blogpics\/May\/KanColle1083.jpg\" width=\"520\" height=\"311\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8211; Kongo-desu!~ My burning love never fades for thee~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>My love for KanColle still hasn&#8217;t died out. It&#8217;s still strong that I&#8217;m constantly (daily) trying to clear out the basic daily quests. The two 50&#8217;s attack, the 10 attack, 3 transports &amp; carriers + the two blue (3 &amp; 10) expeditions. Been trying to stockpile heavily for the KanColle event.<\/p>\n<p>And as of this article I&#8217;ve been having fun clearing E-1 to E-3 (Spring 2016), just struggling to get onto E-4 thanks to the stupid KanColle catbombs. Every 5 minutes my account is spammed by abusive catbombs that I can&#8217;t even do anything. I can&#8217;t sortie much into the event map, can&#8217;t sortie in general, tend to quests, expeditions, or check. I can, just delayed so much. It pisses me off. I&#8217;m however happy I gained these two from E-3 as a drop from D Node &lt;3 The rest I&#8217;ll share later in its appropriate article.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 519px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/blogpics\/May\/KanColle1130.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/blogpics\/May\/KanColle1130.jpg\" width=\"519\" height=\"310\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8211; Two times the U-511 from E-3 Easy D Node Spring 2016!

Catbombs, and all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I finally have the submarine girls! Yatta!~ I still rate Spring 2016 event a pile of shit with how much grief, stress, and agitation it gave me. Ever since the event dropped it constantly gave me catbombs assuming I&#8217;m a filthy bot [<a href=\"http:\/\/himeuta.org\/showthread.php?7333-Bot-detection-cat-errors-201-cat\">source<\/a>]. Imagine not being able to partake in an event, even though it&#8217;s right in front of you in easy reach. Fuck this event, and fuck this constant &#8216;201 catbomb&#8217; bullshit. That&#8217;s the biggest insult yet to us loyal gamers.<\/p>\n<p>Also, for those who may have noticed, I have been indeed playing Euro Truck SImulator 2, American Truck Simulator 2, as well as &#8216;Rising World&#8217;. Those games I praise highly still with more goodies on the way. ETS2 is getting a France DLC, ATS is getting an Arizona DLC, &amp; Rising World is working on a water update. My favourite games working hard in keeping their features awesome &lt;3.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, I want you guys to check out &#8216;Victory Belles&#8217; for being similar, yet expanded form of KanColle. It&#8217;s trying to add every nation within WW2 whom partook in the naval conflicts that it just might be highly interesting. It has HMCS Saguenay in there as a tribal-like persona with the game treating these &#8216;kanmusu&#8217; as both KanColle + Arpeggio of Blue-Steel merged together. Interesting concept that I&#8217;m willing to seek it out. I&#8217;ll obviously check it out because everything needs to be given a chance. Even if it&#8217;s western, it might have some good in it still. Not many game developers consider Canada, let alone ALL the nations so I want to respect them. The same with those that made &#8216;<a href=\"http:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/298480\/\">Victory at Sea<\/a>&#8216; game. Also why I respect Silent Hunter 3 because it doesn&#8217;t cloud up your point of view.<\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/blackchickenstudios\/victory-belles\">Kickstarter page<\/a>] &#8211; [<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/HMCS_Saguenay_%28D79%29\">HMCS Saguenay<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p><strong>HMCS Saguenay<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 411px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/blogpics\/May\/Saguenay.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/blogpics\/May\/Saguenay.jpg\" width=\"411\" height=\"432\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8211; HMCS Saguenay &#8211; [Canadian River-Class Destroyer] &#8211;<em> She&#8217;s an awesome, tough, and dangerous little destroyer.
