Stopping what I'm doing to post a gif from my favouite anime.

Rewatching GitS:SAC. The episode with the weapon designer whose family doesn't let him get the body he needs to live, then and then downloads his consciousness into a machine of his own design and tries to show his mother how cool his new body is has some thematic resonance I didn't notice at 15...

You: "Lae'zel is hot." Me: "*Know* that Gith rules an empire and her followers no longer *know* the injustice of slavery. *Know* that the githrezai will fight until the People can once again live under one sky. In *knowing* this, *know* that the githyanki Lae'zel is a traitor and imperialist..."

The first webcomic I ever read was Hazard Pay, a comic about a teenage girl getting into the arms trade in 1983 West Germany. It went on a permanent hiatus after just 41 pages but I keep coming back to it, wanting more. I have never stopped chasing this comic’s high: girl with gun in 1980s Germany.

Finished a full replay of Planescape: Torment for the first time since I got the game in the mid-00s. Yeah it's still the best game ever written.

The joke goes “a good grade in X, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve”, but the problem is that while therapists generally don’t hand out grades, dentists *absolutely do* and I really don’t want to be reminded how bad my grades are in flossing.

I think I don't like the BioWare/Obsidian late-00s Standard cRPG Plot Structure: Beginning→Three Main Quest Hubs→End just makes these games feel short and set in very small worlds.

This graphic of Heisei-era Internet Anxiety made me pick up Welcome to the NHK, which was acclaimed back when I was first getting into anime. I was *really* not prepared for episodes 12 and 13.

I was rewatching Utena with a friend when it hit me just what exactly the promise of Something Eternal actually is.
