Dear Japanese AA/Indie devs: As someone who likes visual novels, if I wanted to play a VN, I would play one. If I'm not playing a VN, I'm probably not in the mood to sit through 30 minutes of text boxes

These lists are hilarious to me because they're always 95% things that were still being used regularly in the 90s or even more recently, and then 2 or 3 things (rotary phone, typewriter) that were already going obsolete in the 80s It's like even here we can't escape Gen X erasure

I've been out of work for over half a month now, and not a single of those days would I consider a good use of time.

Watched Starry Horizon, this weekend's Kukugumi concert. Gotta rank it third after Starry Diamond and Starry Session, but definitely a huge step up from Starry Ocean. Also I actually really liked the live version of My Muse, but I still think it sounds like a long lost Persona 4 song.

Finally started watching Frieren. Had to start rewatching QQ between episodes because as good as it is, man is it moody.

My Mortis doll came in, and there is only one correct way to share that:

Bought a book to improve my mahjong game, and I am absolutely enamored with the author's uninhibited passion for the subject and all the little historical and cultural tidbits. I think I've found a new hobby to truly love.

I guess that McD's ad was already taken down. Hope all those "sleepless nights" were worth it.

Finally got around to finishing The Plucky Squire. It's a very charming game with some clever puzzles, but it dips its fingers in too many genres and the last couple chapters are a bit frustrating by poorly introducing new puzzle mechanics.

Tips for New Bluesky Users: 1. The Galaxy Express 999 2. Will take you on a journey 3. A never-ending journey 4. A journey to the stars.

Initial thoughts on Acte Zero, the mini album of Revue Starlight "prequel songs" Happy in Our Room: Very cute song, quite catchy. I like that the lyrics are probably the most specific to the characters.

It's weird that I've had no desire to rewatch the Ave Mujica anime, despite thinking it was as good as It's MyGO!!!!!, which I've now watched three times already. I mean it's SUPER heavy, so that's definitely a factor, but that doesn't usually have as much of an impact on a rewatch.

Finally getting around to watching Non Non Biyori Nonstop. Love how this series manages to smoothly introduce new characters each season despite telling the story of the same year over and over.

Feeling extra depressed tonight. It's like reverse Sunday Scaries. As much as I hated my job, I enjoyed my coworkers at least.

It's weird and disappointing that most gacha games doing interesting gameplay also all feel they have to tell the same generic, dark & gritty post-apocalypse story. So it's either browns and grays for days, or incredibly boring turn-based/idle battles.

The most American thing about Thanksgiving is eating a meal that is 90% carbohydrates, then blaming the turkey for making you feel tired.

I really need all y'all to stop treating AI art supporters like they actually WANT to put effort into learning a skill, but it's an issue of confidence or peer pressure or whatever. Any argument about "gatekeeping" is made in bad faith. It is specifically about not wanting to put in effort.

Can we go back to a world of no parcel deliveries after 6pm? This is getting out of hand.

I'm going to need @cpcooke.bsky.social to obtain this. For science!

My favorite thing about the Zelda movie footage and screenshots is that Nintendo has decided to thoroughly troll fans by giving us old-school Link with BotW/ToTK Zelda. "Good luck figuring out what story we're using now, NERDS!"

I sure do love not being allowed to be good at anything regardless of how much I study or practice. People who say there's no such thing as talent are full of bullshit.

After 6 months, only one obstacle remains! Today will hopefully be the day...

Been playing Rhapsody (the PS1 JRPG) and I think I may need to just use a walkthrough because every 5 minutes I find myself wondering what the game is asking me to do.

People seem to be infested with holiday brainworms super early this year. I will once again repeat that this time of year is only as stressful as you make it on yourself. Calm the eff down and stop taking your drama out on others.

Do people still complain about the term "boomer shooter"? Hate to break it to ya, but neither "Gen X shooter" nor "millennial shooter" roll off the tongue as well. Just be like me, and read it as more a reference to the bombastic nature of the gameplay.

Nobody who reads my feed needs to hear this, but I am begging y'all to stop doing business with people through Facebook.

If you see this, post an anime you love. Makeine is a must watch for anyone who even remotely enjoys romcoms.

I don't care that some obscure Japanese RPG nobody has heard of came out 17 years ago today. I don't care that a children's show that only got 15 episodes came out 28 years ago. I don't give a fuck. I promise people don't need to be reminded how old they are.

After the first chapter, I was a little worried I wouldn't like Season 2 in Zenless Zone Zero as much as Season 1. But chapter 2 quashed that concern. Lovely chapter from beginning to end. (Doesn't hurt that Alice is still my favorite character so far)

Finished Mask of the Lunar Eclipse. Great story and environment, some really frustrating combat scenarios with all the narrow hallways, but overall great game. I loved the concept of Moonsounds, what a beautiful idea.

Change one letter, ruin a candy. Spittles 100 Grans Milk Dads

I know this is overly specific, but Morfonica's "Wreath of Brave" absolutely has a "All the major characters spiritually joining the hero at the end to finish off the final boss" vibe to it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU4p...

When I stop thinking about it too hard, I always land on "Y.O.L.O.!!!!!" being the best song from the BanG Dream franchise. And considering it's the only song to be performed by three different bands, I don't think I'm alone. www.youtube.com/watch?v=75ZP...

LET THE VACATIONING BEGINULATE!

CLOSE YOUR BROWSER TABS YOU PSYCHOS

I don't just use my cheese grater to grate cabbage, sometimes I grate a block of cheddar too.

Vacation in 2 days, normally I use that week to do a yearly rewatch of Revue Starlight, but I want something even cozier this time. I'm thinking of finally watching seasons 2 and 3 of non non biyori, and NNB Vacation of course

It's been about 10 days since I stopped playing Girls Band Party and I feel a smidge guilty that I don't miss it.

Things turned out okay after last night's incident, but my physiology is still super messed up from the trauma.

Ive never felt this kind of numbness before

Last night I had a really unsettling dream where at one point a rather innocent looking figure kept repeating to me in a robotic voice "expiring activities 2079" Now considering those numbers mean nothing to me, if I die at 93 I want someone to start a new religion in my honor.

"This item can be sold" OHOHOHO I'M NOT FALLING FOR THAT, GAME!

Set up my new Switch 2 and played about 90 minutes of Z-A. It's good, definitely feels like a more refined Arceus.

I wonder if there's a term for when you're reading something and your brain glitches and fails to recognize a common word at first.

I don't know about you all, but whenever I move into a giant house that is definitely haunted, it always takes me either 20 minutes or 6 months to fully move in.

Thought it was weird ZZZ made the New Year's event permanent, but it turned out to be the most emotionally charged event so far.

I promise you don't need to make your political stance known in the comments of inane, funny posts Take a deep breath and enjoy some silliness FFS

The two worst Discord users: The one who posts a meme someone just posted 3 hours ago. The one who replies to a post from 10 days ago.

New Bandori shorts series is off to a great start, though I hope the rest of the episodes are a little longer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WsR...
