(reading yukio mishima’s Thirst for Love) this is kind of like hathaway’s flash (a firearm appears from off screen and aims at my temple)

in the morning I went to Nakano Broadway and bought a bunch of cheap magazines with a friend; in the afternoon we cut them up and made collages. my two

making any post on twitter feels like feeding an evil and dark shadow creature

one thing about social media that remains evergreen from my teenage years to the ripe age of 27 is that simply posting a link to a song and nothing else still makes you feel cool and mysterious as fuck. oh you think im knowable? how about decoding the melody and lyrics of this irrelevant tune? watch

received a package of ill portent today

my dad is sending me funny videos on LinkedIn now, the notifications go straight to my email inbox. kind of impressive

it’s crazy how beautiful life feels when the weather cools down a little and you throw on a shoegaze track

bandai namco be like TEN TRILLION DOLLARS TO DOGSHIT

I bring a kind of Turkish revolutionary vibe to the office no one seems to understand

thinking a lot about nier automata lately and it really is one of those games that is just that good. no wonder bro hasn't done anything else of note for the last 8 years

sunday

ok sound novelists pretend this is a tw*tter poll and pick what I play next: 1. famicom tantei club (the original one) 2. time travellers 3. hundred line (against my better judgment)

saying “that happened to me actually” about the silver case but what I mean is waking up to the sound of construction like Morishima

I saw the Reze movie over the weekend and keep feeling like it needed to be even scarier. like I should feel nothing but fear for the entire runtime after she transforms

in the mood to rewatch all the significant anime from my youth starting with utena

gamers I am at TGS and it is the dark souls of crowded over here

bragging about my "imported blurays" but because I live in Japan this means I'm talking about the Mega64 Master Collection

History, housing, harmonies: Tokyo-based artist Melos Han-Tani draws inspiration from the everyday for his games, music and writing.

the strangest item I received at gamescom was this official… soft ball thing? for that new capcom game pragmata. no idea what this means

It is Tokio's Day!!! ⚙️♾️💕✨ #9月10日は九竜トキオの日 #art | #ドットハック

there is such a genre of armchair cultural critic (read: twitter nobody with a few thousand followers) who says some half-baked thing about japan that's informed by a cursory glance at the usual texts you'd find at a barnes and noble that blows up and dominates discourse that needs to be stopped

if I had stayed in academia I probably would've become the most demented japanese subculture critic, and no one would be free from my wrath. I would have 1 million twitter followers in a horny frenzy waiting to see my next catastrophic truth nuke that alters discourse for generations to ocme

coming back to tokyo after extended international travels always has me feeling like I Will Destroy This City. I Owe No One Nothing. Yes I Would Like the New Volume of Chainsaw Man With my Multivitamin Order Thank You Amazon

MGSV was like a fever dream from start to finish. the girl I was dating at the time used to very politely try and ask that I spend hours talking about the new trailer or whatever to other people

just watched for the first time in my life The Shawshank Redemption; lead guy at one point decided he would let those tiny glasses do the acting and left his lines at the door. probably would’ve gone hard as a full screen VHS

I think I’m like halfway through sound novel machi now and I may just start time travellers right after this. that 428 feeling….

every time I come to Turkey the prices change so wildly I simply don’t think about it and let my credit card do the talking. this is probably not a good way to handle one’s finances. yessir I will have the 200TL coffee with coconut milk

you go to gamescom to network. I go to gamescom to drink espressos on the street. we are not the same

I knew I had to quit my part time job in university when the lady at the tim’s across the street would start making em an iced capp as soon as I walked in

I’m logging things you can only dream of. Im logging softcore porn movies with no posters. I’m logging things where I’m the only user ever to have interacted with it. I’m watching movies that barely exist on japanese internet

I gave this to my coworker because I couldn't stand the plastic on my desk any longer. not even gqux could make me like acrylic stands

Happy .hack// day! #art | #ハックの日 | #ドットハック

was .hack real?

I had one on my lunch break at work the other day and it was quite mid honestly. boring enough that I forgot to follow up this thread

I guess it is .hack day. I’m hungry

listening to gorillaz today in a serious way. the non-serious way is blasting dare at full volume in the car with my sister

Bitsummit morning: they are having literal grade schoolers weigh in on the recently convicted murderer of a middle school girl from the 1980s

オタ活その他: I bought the Evangelion blurays after so long bc I felt I was overdue to rewatch, and I wanted to see the broadcast version for the first time in years. then I found out “on air edition” means “new footage cut like the old” and I had to buy this OTHER DVD set to get the broadcast version
