God takes away everything.

Thanks for taking me out for ramen yesterday, senpai...

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz I have literally nothing to write about.

Am I hungry? 1 sec…

hm.

Do I want a hamburger? … I need to make sure I have cold ketchup, 1 sec…

I do, but I’m not gonna make a hamburger. Idk what I want.

…

where am I…

What was my list of topics?… forget it, I don’t care.

Zzzzzzzz

I ate some yogurt. Tomorrow I’ll … have a hamburger…

hey, I hope you’re feeling well.

...More Gene Wolfe?

I just needto… plug… in my… kobo...

H… 1 sec…

okay, here I am. Storeys from the Old Hotel is our next collection.

The Green Rabbit from S’Rian is the first story. It’s something he wrote for some shared-world anthology.

Aaaaaaand… I’ll start it… later… I’m just gonna read the introduction myself, he’s talking about when/how he wrote each story.

EVERYTHING?

Everything. I was listening to God Takes Away Everything because I vaguely remembered enjoying it a while ago and I want to get a little more acquainted with the “Eviscerate” album. And it is a good song, but I paid closer attention to the lyrics this time.

The last few lines really pleasantly surprised me. The title sounds gloomy right? But BUT

That’s good stuff.

The rest of the lyrics are neato too

lyrics like that are why I consider a lot of Christian rock/metal superior to secular. There’s an old Jack Black quote where he’s making fun of metal… lemme just find it…

Black characterizes Tenacious D's comic nature as an antidote to "the masculinity of rock", adding "There's also something funny about the macho-ness of rock. Like the bands that are the fucking hardest rocking are like, 'We'll fucking kick your ass, dude... with our rock.'"

He’s kinda right. I don’t want to call rock CRINGE, because a) it’s not, it’s fun and b) that’s a few steps away from condemning artistic expression of anything but aloofness—and that is completely gay and culture-destroying. But what’s cringe, eternally, is Pride. You look at a song like … Indestructible by Disturbed, and it’s awesome when we’re kids, but the lyrics are just kinda silly and self-aggrandizing. (I say this, and Eidola has a song with lyrics that literally are “I am invincible”—but that sentiment is at least is coming from something outside of himself)

Not all secular music is like that, and not all Christian music *isn’t* like that. But you understand, there’s a different foundation for each and one necessarily has to tend toward it more. And as you get older, the self-centeredness of a lot of secular music just feels lame. Me me me. I’M INDESTRUCTIBLE THE DARKNESS FLOWS THROUGH MY VEINS NOTHING PERSONNEL KID THE SNOW FALLS ON MY HEAD AND IT’S COLD.

BUT MY FIERY HEART BEATS LIKE A BATTLE DRUM

MY ANCESTORS LIVE ON INSIDE ME

AND MY ENEMIES WILL BE FLAYED

I SWEAR ON MY BLOOD THAT I WILL SEE THE END

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

vidya? One of you will betray me?

I’m just kidding.

Uhhhh… Zzzzzz…

I’ve played a bit of Cave Story before, but today I played moar than I have in the past. I like it a lot.

Do I have anything else to say?

no.

oh, Metal Arms: Glitch in the System isn’t good, I won’t pretend it is just because it’s old.

Mostly I’m just playing Klonoa still.

Hey wanna see a trick I discovered today lol…

idk where other AIs slap their watermarks, but Gemini puts it in the bottom right corner.

So if you want it to edit an image without it doing that, you can just add space to it that you can trim out later.

See here, I added the white space and the black box, knowing Gem would put it there

pretty neato, huh? Or you could just *trim it regardless*, but if you want to preserve the original image exactly as it was (which I wanted here, since if I just trimmed out the watermark from it, it’d cut into the dialogue box and I didn’t want that.
