07/25 whatcha gonna dooo
when josiemania runs wild on yoooou, brotherrrr!
i played a few minutes of Wonder Project J2. it's amazing, i love it. of course i only did the tutorial where she explains how to interact with her, but it's just wild. It's so cozy. she lives on a ship docked at an island town. idk why. but she does.
uhhh... effectively it's "just" a point-and-click game but it's special DAMMIT. first of all, it's not goofy/gross/retarded like all of the ones that were on the PC in the uh.. idk, 90s? I was too young, I never played any, but I'm aware that they existed.
it's -- look behind her. You see that couch? Look how FREAKIN COMFY that looks under the window. Imagine living there. Lord above, what a world.
I'm so tired. My sleep schedule's a little goofy rn, but ... ... I'm okay. Really. Aren't I?
Anyway, vunder projekt, rly good. probably wont pick it back up for a while, i can't commit to Josie rn--
i just distracted myself by remembering that Fishtank exists. it's cool that they actually have the site up and working now. i didn't watch much of season 1 live beyond the start, and none of 2, buuuuut-- whatever, good for Sam for making it work.
was i talking about something... anyway, OH. the Mario hack Wizardbro mentioned. i played moar of it, got 10 stars. i was a little surprised when i realized the castle changes on you. i like that. of course, it also means i will most likely never finish it, BUT, it's cool. i like how a lot of stuff is the same as the original, but even when it is, it's not toootally the same. Also, the way COINS CARRY OVER is fantastic. way better than the original where they'd only be for the level. that's a legit nice detail. also the coins are just better, they look better, they feel better to pick up, they're noooice.
have i gone on too long now? bruh, THIS WEEKEND, we're getting TWO TITLE FIGHTS. you ARE gonna finally start watching UFC with me... right? um... you do realize that watching UFC is essential to our democracy... right?
ok im gon-- oh, btw, parallel launcher is awesome. for a while i couldnt find a good n64 emu that'd work on manjaro, but eventually i foooound Ares which works really good iirc, but Parallel Launcher is like perfecccct so far, no headaches at all. yet. and it runs hacks. Ares couldn't run the Mario one. so. thaaats important.
was there anything else? n--
oh i. idk.lmao im going to have to grind for a couple weeks to finish Dragon Quest 3 i think hahahaha i just feel so viciously underleveled. like the final boss basically 3-hits my party. soooo, what, considering it's not even the final-final boss... i should probably get a sage or two... and im not even in the best position to turn anyone into a sage, muh priest still has healing spells to learn, izzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
anyway im going to... sle... .Longbottom when I wake up lmao i half-wrote one but im exhausted. Saturday, 6pm, watch ufc with me. tell me you will or el
ill ttyl, pls take care of yourself aaaaaand. have a comfortable day.
God bless,fren
07/23 hack me daddy
i never finished writing A Cyberpunk Love Story, but you know what I DID finish?
getting some neato rom hacks.
pic unrelated btw. although it does have an English translation and i-- anwagraoigr. JUST LOOK HOW GORGEOUS THAT SCENERY IS. ANIME IS SO FREAKING GREAT, I LOVE IT. Anyone who doesn't like anime is dead inside, beyond mentally ill. Just not even alive. imagine jumping in that water, coming out, and walkin around that little town a--aight that's enough.
hey hey, i hope youre feeling well today. im gonnaaaa make this "short". the other day i was reminded that Moemon exists, and i was going to start it again and maAaaaaaaybe write-up my playthrough, BUT THEN, our beloved Wizardbro appeared and posted about romhacks and reminded me that they *exist in general*, so i got a fewwww forrrr Ocarinaaaaa and Mario6444444, aaaaand, what else... Pokemon Clover lmao which is stupid but has heart... aaaand uh. there's a ton of Fire Emblem campaigns people made, that's cool.
I played a biiiiiit of the creepypasta one Wizardbro mentioned, but my controller needs-- i have to fix the freakin deadzone or whatever because mario's not running full-speed, BUT-- so far im really impressed with it. it's like wiiiiild. so im excited to play more. I just beat a bowser at that beginning and that's all lol.
the ZELDA HACKS though, im reeeeeeally excited to try. some of the custom campaigns i knew about, but ive never tried any. and i really wanna try the randomizers, THAAAAAAATTTTTT i love. i loooooOOOOOOooooOOOOoooove that idea. Some new life in the game.
for now though, i just got Moemon aaaand Clover, because-- you know, ez pz to just whip out the chinese handheld and play. Clover's so cheesy but i love it. it has plenty of.. that slightly-edgy but heartfelt 2000s chanspeak. i chose the starter that's a little Arab bomb-pokemon. I named him Belal-- BELAL'S FIGHTING THIS WEEKEND FOR THE WELTERWEIGHT TITLE, GOOD LUCK BELAL!!!
uh... anything else... after all these years, im in the end-game of Dragon Quest 3. You get a freakin phoenix to fly on! so you never have to walk or sail around, and you can see the whole woooooorlddd, it's soOOOOOOooooooooo COOL! it's just awesome. im gonna haaaave to grind a bit though. i can barely get to the boss alive, never mind fighting him. plus, i know there's a final-final boss too soozzzzzzzzzzz. idk, maybe ill change muh mage to a sage...
Did you know female have better stats? i didnt know that. Good thing my party is entirely female except for me :')
There's a really cool little quest where you send a party member to help build a town, and the town gets named after them. I had a merchant named Sales and so the town was called Salesburg. I love it. ok im gonna stop typing now
uhhhh... ye, ill ttyl, right? pls take care of yourself and haveeee a warm day.
God bless, fren
07/19 what did she mean by this?
hey fren i hope youre well
uhhhh... idk, what's up? what do YOU want to talk about? vidya? fig-- AAAAARRRRGGGH
earlier i was in a perfect mood to write my "Start Watching UFC" post, but i lost it. i don't have it anymore. i have it vaguely in my head, let's see... there's a "Why you should", "how to *get into it*", fun/classic vids to watch, aaaaand ,what? links to Lucas Tracy and MMA guru lol and that's about it. That's what the post will be.
I think it's a good "passive" hobby. or, no passive hobbies are truly "good", but I think, for example, watching ufc/fight content is about ten thousand times better than watching "true crime" videos, which I got sucked into for a while.
it doesn't uh, darken your mind. it doesn't rot your soul.
how about a fuuuuuuuun stoooooory...
the first fight i can actually remember watching, and when i actually staaaaaarted GETTING INTO it? My Dad was watching Alistair Overeem fight Walt Harris. Main event. 2020. VERY memorable fight.
they were promoting the everloving shit out of Walt Harris. Poor guy's daughter was murdered, he was "fighting for her", they were just nonstop playing promos about her being murdered the whole event. It was in verrry bad taste. but that's how it went.
Walt Harris starts out the match beating the everloving shit out of Overeem, absolutely fucking destroying him--blood everywhere, overeem had plenty of scar tissue, so his face was just a shredded up bloody mess as he's eating all these punches-- to the point where it seems like it's GOTTA be all over, right? But NO.
Overeem got up, he SURVIVED the round. And Harris was a prettttty "large" guy. totally gassed himself out, he had NOTHING left. So round 2, Overeem got HIS ass out.
It was such an amazing comeback, i'd never seen aaaaanything like it.
so that's all, greeeeeeat fight. i started watching every once in a whiiile after that, but it's really been the last ...2ish years that i've been watching fight nights every weekend.
AND YOU SHOULD TOO! they're free!...aren't they? the fight nights are at least lmao uh, you know. you. always find a way to watch it.
yandex is a really good search engine.
anyway, that's all. i love ufc. mma in general, but you know, ufc is le premium organization. it's COMFY, it's fun watching fights, i've come to know more about the sport than i even thought i would. I predict fights waaaaaaaaaay better than those HACKS Lucas and Guru.
ok. an-- uh... was there something else?... ... ... ive gone on too long. i was going to gibs my picks for tomorrow's fight night, but NAH. not anymore.
anyway here's a pic of Ryza fishing.
pls take -- is that really everything? ... ... ...well, ttyl. pls take care, hava warm day
God bless fren
07/19 hit or miss
i guess they never miss
huh? :)
hey fren, hopeeee. i hope you're w-- 1 sec, i just got an email from DC...
oh, there's a 10-comment per day limit on Neocities now lmao. Ehh... why? I don't see how that's necessary, just block someone if they're spamming you. And does that apply to your OWN posts too? That'd be really gay. BUT... whatever. This isn't supposed to be social media anyway, right? I know we do tend to use it like that, but it-- whatever.
ghastby@protonmail.com or asked6813 on Discord if you wanna chat with me. I wanna chat with you. We can talk about uh. whatever. I d-- i dont think Neocities' comment limit is so great, even if it doesn't affect me. Like what if I WANT to talk to some-- whatever.
Send me an email just in case, so we don't lose touch. Some of you already have, but gimme dat email if you haven't already.
However, I'm also really bad at replying to emails. use Discord if you want me faster.
Where was iiii...
uhhhh... Republican convention was pretty great tonight, wasn't it?
Sure, it would have been too boring on my own, but I was listening w/ EVS so it was very comfy.
wasn't expecting Hulkamania, so that was just fun. Uhhh... just a very impressive convention. Great speeches from everyone, toooootally packed arena. Only Donald Trump can summon that kind of enthusiasm. Almost enough hype in the air to make White people dance a little.
Trump's speech was really good. I know aaaaaaall of the issues the Right has with him, and they're heckin' valid, but-- this is all we have. And for every time he talked about something like... black employment, there was plenty of stuff that mattered. Wars will be ended. Manufacturing will be brought back to America. Things are going to get prosperous.
It was a loooooong speech too. A little bit of a bummer because it reminds you we could have just simply had 8 continuous years of a man with all his faculties were it not for the 2020 election fraud, BUT
good feeling about this time. people doompill with like "they'll just steal it agaaaaaain", but idk, I literally have-not-looked-into-it-at-all, but those key districts that received their special 4am magic ballots probably have had some policy and personnel changes that actually *will*, unironically, make this the most "Fair and Secure Election in History". That's just me being optimistic and assuming with zero research. I'm just saying if it happened in *my* district, this time around, I'd personally be making sure no-one goes back inside after hours to "actually I think I wiiiiiill count some more ballots after all, you guys can go home though don't worry!"
idk. all I can do is vote. Is that a downside to living in a red area? There's really nothing to do? lmao
Anyway ENOUGH politics... vidya?
Dragon Quest 3 is so much bigggggger than I ever imagined. I've been pooooowering through it. I just killed a giant snake demon who was tricking a village into sacrificing girls to it, and it was the ... it was just wild. haaard boss too, like a good 10 minute fight. the game's map has countries based on IRL, idr if the map matches irl, but there's you know, an Egypt town, a Rome town, and this one was uh. JAPAN town lol aaaaaaand. it was really cool,, idk. ironically, there's never really been any "Japanese" content in the Dragon Quest games I've played, so this was a coooool little quest. now I rly hope there's a Japanese town in Dragon Quest XI, that'd be really cool to see in 3D.
am i tired? no. yes. was there anything els-- oh, here's the old who wants to be a girl lol. har har very funny.
it's at the shrine where you can change your classes. im kinda scared though, idk if I'll do it. I feeeeeel like I remember getting there as a kid. Idk if I *ever* got a Sage though. Who should I even change? It lets you keep your spells but it resets your level. hm. hmmmmmm. and should I get a jester? they can become a sage *without* using the zen book. there's only 1 or 2 of them in the game anAAAAAAAALRIGHT.
enough now. Im gonna go. ill ttyl, pls take care of yourself. and have a relaxing day.
God bless, fren
07/17 we had joy we had fun
we had vidya in the Sun.
hey fren. iiii hope you're well today. vidya post? just a bit.
i made a 3x3lol. i was thinking od replacing the yuge list of sheeeit i like witht just 3x3s for stuff ya know.
idk though. maybe maybe not. like there's no way i can do this for books, can i? maybe i can. I do like simplifying things. I just uh. I am also a fan of explaining myself. An explanation enjoyer. or maybe I'm not. Have I ever thought about that? Have I ever thought about just having Ocarina of Time on a 3x3 and not worrying about making sure that you know I also love Majora's Mask?
There's an idea. I think I'll try it.
Anyway, wanna briefly go over my picks with me? I'm going to say that they're my most-- oh no, I think Breath of the Wild might be more worthy than MGS. Whatever, WHATEVER.
They're ... the most-memorable or "important" games throughout my life, in mostly correct order from Ocarina being my first trve love to Ryza being my new love, even if it's like, a AA anime game.IT HAS HEART, SO--
Ocarina goes without saying. People call it cheating or a normie pick for a reason, because it is. It was a yuge game. It's beautiful, comfy, fun, the music is good, the WOOOORLD is delightful. I've been playing Link to the Past for the first time, which is right up there as one of the most popular Zeldas, and I don't like it. Like at all. Halfway through the game, Kakariko Village's theme stops playing, in Kakariko Village, and it's like wtf. The world feels so DEAD, I might as well be playing Dark Souls. In fact, yeah, Dark Souls is MORE COMFY than ALTTP, 100%! Ocarina doesn't have this problem. It's got A BUNCH of towns for you to explore! I've joked a lot with my friend, and even basically written an entire book about whether Zelda is or is-not an "open-world game", but no matter what, as a kid, Ocarina of Time felt like an entire yuuuge world to explore. and the only thing "wrong" with it to this day is that it has cutscenes that are kinda long-- which wasn't a problem when we were kids. It's a problem *now* that everyone has goldfish brains, but back then? No.
Let's moooove on... Dragon Warrior 1 and 2. Came on a single GBC cartridge. 1 was short, sweet, straight-forward, but a ton of fun. Decently sized world, again---plenty of towns. You can spend the night with a girl in the first town (you just hold hands and cuddle, I'm sure), you save the Princess and carry her around with you as much as you want to lol, and uh, you get a magic swooooord and aaaaarmor, you become b-- there's no "classes", so you're just an EVERYTHING, you learn every spell imaginable and you're also a warrior, it-- just simple fun. And you only ever fight 1 enemy at a time, so it's not even that hard lol. Great game. 2 though is like 100x bigger and harder. Now multiple enemies will gang rpe you. Even though you get 2 moar party members-- a mage and a femboy-- mooooore than 3 enemies will attack you at once. To this day I've never finished it, I justlmao idk i got too old and Pokemon came out or something. But it's attached to DW1 so it goes on the grid.
Diablo was my first "full" PC game beyond shareware demos. My dad got it for me. It scared the crap out of me, but it was fuuuuuuuuun. I'd play it with my friends for hooours, but we never got very far. Even in multiplayer, idr if we ever even got into that catacombs. I'd only ever beat it when I was a fearless fully-grown man.
FFVIII? i thought it looked cooler than X. My friend made fun of me for getting it intead of X but I don't regret it. I was still too young for Squall to be literally me, but I'd understand him one day. I loved the idea of a mercenary school. Even today, Balamb Garden is a great idea and I wish I got to go there. Played it a looooot, got to dissssc 3 i think, but I was not in the habit of actually finishing games lol.
Here's one I actually did finish. Kingdom Hearts. Game I asked my mom for a PS2 for. Absolute love of my childhood. Played it to death, beat it idk, a dozen times at least, LOOOOOVED the final few cutscenes. So much so that I'd fight the final boss just to see them again. I loved everything about the game. Sora and Kairi's very-obvious love for each other probably affected me in the same way that Sonic the Hedgehog affected other kids. Stylish gameplay, the Gummi ship designing was fun, the music was perrrfect, the story was nice and dramatic. I don't even like Disney, I never have, I think talking animals are stupid and I only was interested in it for the original and FF characters. But they made it work pretty well. Now that I'm *older* I probably tolerate Disney better than I did as a kid, but it also doesn't really matter anyway-- Donald and Goofy aren't just Disney characters anymore, they're Kingdom Hearts characters. So when Donald casts Zettaflare and establishes himself as one of the most powerful beings in the multiverse, itlmao itgajoregjaerg. whatever lmao. Kingdom Hearts stands right up there with Ocarina for me.
AVP2 was *theee* game I'd play with my friends, and it was how I'd start socializing more with total strangers. My friend and I had a clan with some Brazilian guy. Thlmao I'm sure there were others, but he was the only memorable guy. He was a furry, but I didn't know what that was at the time. I was so absurdly good playing as a Pred, I could take breaks and shit talk in the text-chat. It probably was how I learned how to type so quickly. My favorite FEAT I can remember was killing an Alien Queen all alone with juuuuust my combi-stick. The game was dying by then so I think we were the only ones in the server. SAD. Anyway-- the campaigns are a loooot of fun too, especially the Predator and Marine ones. Playing as a Predator and hunting Marines in the jungle is so CRAZY fun. Playing as an Alien can be disorientating though. Overall though, waaaaaaaaaaay better than AVP1, which I think gets more praise than it deserves.
STAAAAAAAALKER. Chernobyl I actually played *after* playing a ton of Pripyat, but it was the first game I *completed* and I thiiiiiink it might be the best. It gives the Zone a very... weird-mythology kinda feel. Like you're on a jooooourney, to find something called a "WISH GRANTER", no-one knows wtf it is, you have to turn off something called a BRAIN SCORCHER that stops people from getting near it, there's-- there's just -- it feels like you're in an alien world with the amount of UNKNOWN going on. It's a great uh... odyssey. That's the best word for it. And STALKER was like one of my first PC games on my OWN PC, not one my parents got me. Call of Pripyat looked so cool to me that I bought the boxed version before I even had a PC that could run it. And when I finally did, it was juuuuuust right.
METAL. GEAR. SOLID. V. Iiiiiiii... don't know if this game belongs here. I've played Breath of the Wild way moar, but - 1 Zelda's enough. MGSV wasn't my first MGS game, 44444 was. And I didn't like 4 because I was a liiiiiittle too young and stupid and I was going through a phase where everything made me squeamish lmao, so I was pre-- anyway. Phantom Pain I love: it runs buttery smooth, it's super dramatic, which I love, the gameplay is incredibly fun and varied, it controls FANTASTICALLY, like freaking Mario 64 with guns lmao it is SO easy to just do whatever you want, you know, sneak up on a guy, grab him, throw him into someone else, dive off a small roof into someone, judo throw someone into a wall, not to mention all of the guns and gadgets-- and you can have a pet doggo, you can have a gf with a sniper rifle, you can just dick around and do side missions for hours, it's an absolutely fantastic game in every way, shape, and form. Maybe my one criticism is that managing your finances caaaaaan be a pain in the ass-- like everything costs MONEY in-game to use, and of course the coolest and most advanced stuff costs the most, but you can still make profit preddy easily. Plus, I tend to play games a jewishly as possible anyway, so I'm just sneaking around choking out heavies and stealing tanks, I don't even uuuuuuse stuff.
AT.EL.IER. RYZA. it's what im playing now, and it's what i NEED right now. Jrpgs are the gaming-salvation of a tired gamer like me. Just relaxing fun. BUT. Ryza gets her own review later, because the post is over.
THE POST IS OVER. HP Longbottom later maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe.
ill ttyl. pls take care of yourself and have a warm day.
God blessfren.

Without hesitation, Hismione hammerfisted Neville's head, exploding it like a Gallagher watermelon.
Hismione let out a primal roar of triumph.ROOAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
It sounded like a Predator (the Arnold Schwartzwhatever movie).
"What was that?" asked Delphi, as Voldemort chucked her back into the Real World. The Shutup spell Volds had cast on her mouth had finally worn off.
"It was the most dangerous predator on Earth... MAN," said Old Snape, turning back. He was wielding dual tanto knives and a short sword in his mouth. He had no idea what kind of man's man was coming after them, but he knew he had to meet him.
"Severus, what are you doing?! Harry needs you!" rasped Voldemort.
"I'm not going there to die Tom," said Old Snape. "I'm going to find out if I'm really alive."
And then, before Voldemort could rasp in protest, Old Snape was gone.
Voldemort let out a raspy sigh and jumped back into the Real World. Delphi was brushing the grass from her pants.
"Delphi!" rasped Voldemort. "My precious daughter, how are you?"
Delphi glared at him. "What do you want?"
Before Voldemort could answer, Harry had arrived.
"Voldemort," he said. "Did you get the Time Turner?"
"I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!" shouted Delphi. "You only ever come see me when you WANT something!"
"You ungrateful little girl, I just saved you from being raped," rasped Voldemort.
"HP Longbottom wouldn't have DONE that!" cried Delphi. "He's an ALLY to fem folk!"
"HE'S AN INCOMPREHENSIBLE ELDRITCH MOONSTROSITY, YOOOOOU LITTLE IDIOT! YOU STUPID IDIOT, I'M SO ASHAMED THAT YOU'RE MY DAUGHTER!"
Delphi started crying, and Harry Potter couldn't stand this nonsense anymore. He took out his Sig Sauer P226 pistol and pointed it at Delphi.
"Delphi, hand over your Time Turner. Or I swear I'll kill you."
"DAD!" cried Delphi, "DO something!"
Voldemort took out his treasured Colt M1911 and pointed it at his daughter.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" cried Delphi, and she ducked.
Voldemort and Harry both opened fire...
ON WHAT WAS BEHIND HER!?
Remus Lupin, who was naked, collapsed from the hail of bullets.

07/15 the brat in the hat
hey fren, iiiiii. hope you're feeling well today. i-- 1 sec, lemme get a b-12...
\there i feel better.
you catch any of the Republican convention today? I was listening with Ethan Van Sciver, and I heard the state reps feeding the delegates into Trump's powerarmor, but then i tuned out after he was officially nominated.
our next VP is gonna be a Catholic, isn't that cool? And a CONVERT, the best kind.
The virgin born Catholic vs the CHAD adult convert.
im half-kidding. anyway, what else?...
vidya? wanna... talk about... v....zzzzzz
I'm actually ifffffy on my new cpu. I can't te-- well, for example, I do th-- okay, okay: I'm definitely seeing some increased performance. It's just that uh... idk, sometimes I'm just a uh... ...uncertain kinda guy.
You know what I'm not uncertain of, is how great Veronica from DQXI is. You find her arguing with one of the GIANT RIPPED SHIRTLESS HORNED-HELMET GUYS and she's just yelling at him, pointing her finger up at him, he's like 7 feet tall, she's like 3 feet tall, her freaking hat is so big.
Her HAT IS SO BIG. And she's so smug. She'-- I know, don't start. Don't START, she literally is cute. And funny. ENOUGH.
She's A CHARACTER. She and Erik are just *delightful* so far. Erik's the kinda guy you want to be your best friend irl. Serena's a bit less ?interesting? than them, but you can put her in a bellydancer outfit, so it evens out.
The expressiveness of *even the townsfolk npcs* are soooo good.
There's a guy(another helmetchad) watching the horse races with his gf and she's just bored out of her mind, looking away, mumbling, and he's like "Look at that one!" It felt like a meme, it was so -- you know, I wasn't LAUGHING OUT LOUD, but it was just *funny*. Excited goofball dragging his miserable woman to watch horses.
Uh, the game is just absolutely incredible so far. If I ever stop being Eternally Sick, I doooOooo want to give it a proper review, but--you know, I'm just piling these reviews up. I *will* get to them when I can. I'm not always going to be sick/busy/both. Maybe even tomoOoOoooorrow I can start crossing some posts off the list. Anyway...
This game really *feels* very much like how Dragon Quest on the Gameboy felt when *I* was a brat in a hat. It's a grand adventure, the towns feel very much alive, I love the overworld and how you can set up camps--which utterly BTFO the bonfires of Dark Souls btw--and how you can choose to engage monsters instead of random encounters. The music's good, the enemies are classic, it's visually pleasant, it's *wholesome*, it's just fun.
I'm still you know, very much in the shallows of the game, but so far so very good.
I think I've even come to fully-cope about the removal of the Cross from the series. Fictional world, fine. But the symbol that replaced the Cross is *still* a cross, its arms just point upward, giving it a sort of "crown" appearance. It's fitting. And uh... you know, whatever lmao. I don't get upset about the Hylian Crest just because Link used to have a Cross on his shield. It's still a fictional world, and even if it *is* neato that Christianity is so dominant that its imagery even enters fictional worlds, it'ssssss whateverrrrr. SEE IF IIIII CAAAAAARE.
You know something funny? I was playing the fan translation of Dragon Quest 3, and there's an old man who says "I want to be a little girl again". I wonder what it was changed to in the GBC release, I doooon't remember. I haven't gotten that far in the GBC version in... some of the people reading this weren't alive lmao I remember dropping the game on the ground when I was at a diner with my dad, and it ruined my save file. I wasn't even that upset for some reason. I'm just like "Oh, I'll just uh, start over." I feel like that something most kids would have went ballistic over, *including* me, but -- maybe I just really liked Dragon Quest(Dragon Warrior). Whaaaaaaaatever that's my story.
anything else? ... Ryza? I'm gonna play some Ryza later. Uhhh... I should just crank out an HP Longbottom just so I don't start getting rusty. but i... am i tired? anywa......zzzzzzz.. ok. ill ttyl. Pls take care of yourself and have a relaxing day.
God bless, fren.
07/14 Unstumpable
hey fren, i hope you're well. i love fishing. i made a fishing pole in Atelier Ryza. it's not a mini-game or anything, you just press A on water, like collecting any other supplies.
I was going to write about tomboys or something, but our president was almost assassinated. I guess I'll briefly write about that.
There's a ... temptation to fall into uhh... political solipsism. Like, always. Once you understand that conspiracies do happen, all of reality is suspect from a million different angles. You can't move far enough out to get a look at the full picture, you don't hear the phone calls, you're not behind the locked doors. But instead of having such a worthless mindset, I'm going to just allow myself to enjoy the Donald having yet another gangsta moment, however that moment might have come about.
Trump's a lot like Ryza. He's high-energy and he never gives up, even when his life is in danger. He's also kinda like an alchemist since he turned a smol loan of a million dollars into multiple billions. Do you understand the difference between a million and a billion dollars?
I learned that Fire Emblem: Three Houses has a NG+ today, so that makes me feel better about it. It's. Nice. but there's so much in the game it's-- if an RPG has missable things, and no NG+, that like EATS me. If there's a NG+, I can always lie and say I'll get it on the next playthrough even if I never actually play it again. I tried not to let it eat me, but it eats me. The game's so thicc, I know I'm going to missss something, so itzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzz
anyway... i forgot ... uh... bruh i still never even finished Xenoblade ahahahothjirtjhoijth AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT WAS SO GOOD I WAS LOVING IT AND I JUST STOPPED AND NOW now how am i supposed to pick it back up? whatever, is the blog over?
Trump has very-obviously been given what the Chinese once called the Mandate of Heaven. The signs are all here, it's in the very air. Even the incompetence(or...?) of a middle-aged woman directing the Secret Service can't stop him.
I don't want to hear that he's owned by That Certain Country rn, let's cope about that later. Just allow yourself to relax a little bit and enjoy the forthcoming Trumpenreich.
07/04 AMERICA is all that matters.
hey fren, hope you're well today.
Is it just me, or is there an American Spirit in the air tonight?
I was going to poke a little fun at non-Americans in this post(deep well of easy material to work with), but who really cares? lol.
Can you even name 5 countries that aren't America? Can anyone?
The answer's "no", because America is the only real country on the entire planet.
There's nothing really special about the 4th of July, because every day is Brought To You By America: they're about us, they're for us: Monday through Saturday only stopping for the Lord's Day on Sunday, every day is America Day.
America has the greatest m-- i just remembered we still don't have bullet trains, and i ruined the entire post im now in a foul, racist mood.
obviously there's Issues Wrong With America That Everyone Knows, but they're not pleasant to talk about-- and in Other Countries(lol), you may even be arrested for talking about these issues but who cares? That sounds like a global issue to me. One that America suffers the least from, because I can say whatever I want to--i just dont want to because im *already* mad and im just going to make myself madder--but *IIiIiiiIiiiiii* won't go to prison for it. Like in lesser nations on this planet.
The only thing that matters at the end off the day is that I'm drinking a nice cold water. Water is what keeps us alive. It's what makes Our Struggle surv... ... there, now i can use this picture of EVS's artbook.
My America post is ruined, i dont even care. The Bullet Train Issue actually matters more to me than almost anything, and there's also the matter of "7/11 Nationalism" if you remember that-- America doesn't have that anymore. Who does? JAPAN?
i know it's popular for leftists to seethe about Japan, but hey, their vending machines don't need to have cages on them.
I know, "America is going to ruin Japan", just keep blaming us. Yeah, yeah. Go ahead, be that gay nerd on the elevator saying "i feel sorry for you". You know what's Really Going On, and that weEeeeEeeeee are not the cause, but on behalf of all Americans, I will accept your hatred. Because we can take it.
Uhhhhhhhh... idk, we're still the best though. I know "Die for [CENSORED]" is a true meme, but say idk, the GROUND opens up and the Locusts from Gears of War start invading America and only America, and everyone could all be assured that it wasn't a fucking trick like Some Other Wars. I'd fight for America then.
Life's complicated. Anyway... happy 4th of July lmao.
anything else?
Dragon Quest XI is pretty cool. it's almost like if Zelda was a turn-based rpg. like you caaaan explore arooOooound a toOooown, smash potsssss, there's chhHeeeessts to opennn, you can ride a HooOoooorse. it's neat. The anti-Christian censorship by this point isn't as offensive because it's not like DQXI *originally* had Crosses and they got rid of them. At least there's still Churches lol. Really, at least it's not Final Fantasy and Shin Megami Tensei and just full-blown "Ackshually, God bad". That's way harder to tolerate.
What was i... oh, lmao i got Palworld, too. It's fun. It's stupid, and i dont think i have the youthful autism to get TOOOO much into it, but it's actually pretty neato. Nintendo should kinda be ashamed of themselves and hopefully they'll learn from it. Pokemon Legends: Arceus has very, very little on it. And I did like Arceus, but Palworld's just lmao it's SO COOL making a camp and having your pals just *helping out* on their own. you can set them up to be totally self-sufficient. and you can peeeeeet them, feeeeed them, they're just neato. also you can butcher them. but that'slmao i dont think ill ever do that. you can kill wild ones for their MEAT. precious meat. it reminds me of Slowpoke tails. Palworld DARES to go where Pokemon feared to: the reality that EVERYBODY'S GOTTA EAT.
Also you can get a Zeldaesque paraglider and you can climb wallslsorogiujsoergh. it's just fun lol. character model's kinda sheeeeit, but whatever.
uhhhhh... i tried Enshrouded for a bit. It ran like shit, but i was impressed by it anyway. like it would have been really cool if it didn't run like shit. About 10 minutes in, i found a homosexual love letter. to be fair to myself, i was already probably going to refund it for the performance, but that was when lmao that was when i just turned it off and refunded it.
anything else? i gottttt Granblue Fantasy, but i havent installed it yet. Freaking 90 gigs, what is it, a Call of Duty game? ech.
im gonna go back and focus more on Ryza though, im drowning myself like a retard, i juuuuuust really wanted to try Palworld and Enshrouded. and then i figured wWweeell i mightt as weWwwweell get Draongquestoessef sand Graniagierg
ok im gonna go.
uh. happy America day to everyone. it's kinda gay to say "i love my country", when your country is like, blackmailing the entire planet into state-enforced homosexuality, but there's *other* things about America that make it really neat, like our people, (someof)our culture, and uh... our lives. we have a lot of comforts that many people around the world don't have. attribute that to whatever you want, it's still something for Americans to feel blessed for. and uhhh... it's a country worth taking care of, worth saving, just like our entire planet. Aand that's why you're going to just shut up and vote for The Donald this time, right? :^) he's going to end (another) war and reestablish our manufactuZzzzzzzzzzzz
ttyl, pls take care
God bless, fren.
07/03 i know what you are: State of the Ask
i hate that i can now tell that someone is transgender just by reading a tweet. they dont have to have a flag in the name, they dont have to have a pic of themselves, i can just look at their words and know.
that's not what i want to talk about though, i just saw someone praising the upcoming Dragon Quest 3 remake on twitter, and . i knew. that's all. it's not magic, it's context clues. would a woman be on twitter being excited for the Dragon Quest 3 remake? The answer's no. I'm not claiming to be a magician, it's not SUPERNATURAL that whenever I have This Feeling, and I check a person's profile, I'm never wrong. this is just 1+1.
anyway.
. hey. i hope youre well. im inlmao im OK, i just put myself in a slightly-pissy mood.
i knew already, in the back of my mind, that Crosses would be censored in the Dragon Quest 3 remake-- they've already been censored in the series for a while, replaced with this a gay little trident icon instead.
But I was possessed anyway to look at a picture of a Priest from the remake, who of course originally had crosses on their outfits. No surprise, they have tridents now.
This doesn't REALLY bother me (beyond my already-existing state of perpetual disgust at Christian imagery being censored from games unless it's to degrade it), I wasn't planning on getting the game anyway-- I typically don't like remakes, at ALL. They ALWAYS fuck something up, without fail. A remaster is NEVER better than the original game, it's just something easy for a company to shit out that retards will buy because new thing good ooga booga dat resolution.
Obviously there's a difference between an "HD remake"(trash) and a completely-new game like what Resident Evil's been doing.
But these HD remakes are just clownish. My favorite example that I'll never stop bringing up is the Twilight Princess remake where the shadow are dicked up so characters' noses and lips pop out way too much. And that's actually a *decent* remake. Look what they did to the fucking characters in Diablo 2.
The Dragon Quest 3 remake is going to take an 8-bit sprite game and add *just* the right amount of new detail to make it fucking ugly to me. I'm looking at screenshots right now, I invite you too as well. That to me is the EXACT right amount of detail for sprites that I don't like. You're starting to not allow me to fill in the blanks with my imagination, and you're introducing an amount of ugliness. I don't like it.
Quite frankly, even the SNES version of Dragon Quest 3 is PUSHING IT. I still like the way it looks, but it's getting dangerous. These remakes of 1, 2, and 3 are just-- i cannot possibly care about them. And yes, a perfect cherry on top is "We've erased the Crosses and mention of God in the game"
Remakes are basically transgender video games. I'm not going to elaborate further because I still have a lot to write about.
I wasn't intending to start whining about Dragon Quest 3, this was supposed to be a reminderpost to myself... so im sorry. im sorry for WHINING.
I had a heckin' religion post to write, but I'm not in the Right Mind for it rn, I'm kinda NASTY rn, so that's no good. What was it about? i can't rem... oh, the idea of "um yikes, what do you mean God is always watching me? That's heckin' awful!" So many faggots like Wil Wheaton and uh, whatever gay Irishman wrote "Preacher" whine about the trauma this caused them as a kid and it's just so GAY. i've been meaning to write about the myth of religious "trauma" in general for a looong time, but it's such a boring subject that even my dog is whining rn 1 sec, lemme check on her...
she saw a rabbit.
speaking of teenage girl troubles, RYZA?
Ryza's troubles are way less dumb than the Westoid female. Nothing traumatizes her, she just wants to go on adventures. She wants to brew potions and hit things with her stick.
I don't normally save blog posts, but I need to take the last one and clean it up, add to it and convert it into a proper review for Ryza. It has too much gold to just sit with the rest of this miserable blog. So Ryza's going to get a FULL PROPER review. You might call it a REMAKE of that blog post.
HP Longbottom later unless i pass out. im kindatired. it's fun to just write bullshit, even if it's not actually good for you. it's like doodling just so you don't forget how to draw, but you're not really improving whatsoever. And thataattatatats's not good. it's not good. regardless, the story of HP Longbottom must be told. because it's actually um, like, really good and i know you agree.
anyway... that's it? was there something e-- oh. eh. idk, this is kinda stupid, but i kIiIiiiinda want to write a "Start Watching MMA" post. that'll be .fun. stupid. fun. dont care though. tired. ok
ttyl, pls take care of yourself. have a warm day
God bless, fren
07/01 Ryza and the Quietpill
hi fren iiiii hope youre feeling well today.
*this heavily heckin' sexist post applies to MALE CHARACTERS too, but i dont care about them, im a man.*
Atelier: Ryza is a fun game.
it's bright and colorful and charming, it's fun collecting alchemy ingredients, the combat is decent, active-time turned basedddd aaaand uh Ryza's cute. let me get a pic here...
i cropped her thighs out for you, dont worry. look how happy she looks.
there's no getting around it, is there? we have to talk about her PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES, right?
how are young men supposed to cope with sexy anime girls? Well, we know how NOT to cope with them: the way that feminists and people of gender do-- seething hatred.
you know in your heart, when you look at Reisalin Stout's thighs, that it's wrong to hate her. BUT she's still dangerous, right? Just for different reasons. Shes' dangerous to a fat woman or troon's pride because they'll never be her, but she's dangerous to YOU and I, my brother, because oof.
but the reason Atelier Ryza succeeds as a game, is that it's not about Ryza's body, as very-much-there as it is. It's about her antics with her friends, her wanting to learn alchemy because helping on the farm is booooring, it's about the bright colorful world, the relaxing music, the ADVENTURE.
It's not even cope at that point. You don't have to defend or make excuses for a hot girl in a fantastic game. EVERYONE ELSE has to defend why they wouldn't want attractive people in a video game. And yes, clothing makes a character less or more attractive. No, Ryza would not be better off wearing Onion Knight armor.
Quiet in Metal Gear Solid 5 was a little """divisive""" because people who don't play video games, and also Jim Sterling, were upset that she wore a bikini. Hideo Kojima gave her a silly purpose for needing to have a lot of her skin exposed, and it made as much sense as anything else in Metal Gear Solid, but to Jim Sterling and other troons who hate attractive female bodies, there is no excuse under the Sun that will ever be good enough for a character in a video game to be visually appealing. Throughout the game, Quiet lives the feminist dream of brutally slaughtering men like animals, but because she's also attractive and not a stupid loudmouth bitch, some people just don't like her. And that's NOT okay.
Time's UP for sickos not liking cute girls in video games. There's no excuse for it. They'll hide behind accusations of it all being "too horny", but they're the exact people who believe in "sexual liberation". When another woman, or an actual woman in Jim's case, is competing for their attention, suddenly they're prudes. When they're not facing anime girls, there's NOTHING they WON'T do with their genitals, but when a normal male is horny over an attractive women, real or anime, sexuality becomes sexism. it's all pride-based seethe.
Too bad, you fat gross whore. Ryza's learning alchemy in thigh boots and there's nothing you can do about it! Yes, I WILL bring Quiet along with me even though DD is better at tagging enemies and Quiet's silenced non-lethal sniper costs half my mission payment!
It's all actually very simple: Hot girls in video games are dangerous, but they CAN be acceptable if the game is actually good. What can NEVER be acceptable is ugly girls. Video games are an escape from real life, where there's no shortage of ugly women AND men.
The artist who drew this picture of Ryza created something good. It's surely MY duty to not drool too much over her.
Overall, it's valuable to be reminded that women can be beautiful lmao. Contrary to popular(incorrect and dumb) belief, it will actually make you less misogynistic. it's a LIE that it gives anyone "unrealistic expectations", women aren't unicorns, we interact with them every day. We KNOW they don't look or act like Reisalin Stout. Typically.
So until you've met your tomboy alchemist gf in real life, it's probably not going to destroy your sense of reality to interact with one in a game. I'd probably start arguing that even V-tubers can be safe to watch, but ive used up all my CARE about this so I won't even start.
uhhhhh... Atelier Ryza? Fun game. Gorgeous little towns. Lacking interactivity a bit, but I've heard the sequels are improved. Ryza and her frens are delightful. And ye, Ryza has a nice face, chest, butt, and thighs. Cope with it, I am.
Really enjoying it so far. 8 out of 10, dare i say? 7 for now, just because it's a liiiiiiiiiiittle slow, but by the time it's over, i might say 8.
I once read a pretty funny article where the writer said something like... "Quiet will never be your girlfriend, and your girlfriend will never be quiet."
That's such a great freaking line it crushes me that I didn't come up with it. It's uh... you know. Women are here for a reason. They're our partners, we're their partners. It's cool that super-idealized versions of them exist in video games. Just don't let it divorce you from the reality that women can be really greatt IRL. They have cute voices, and they're not all annoying and ugly. You know that, I don't have to tell you that. OTHER PEOPLE think I need to tell you that, but you and I both GET IT. Okay.
Ryza, 7/10
06/30 i feel ok
pic unrelated. a cover from the '90s. I like it a lot, but EVS actually didn't like this cover. I can't remember if he said why. I think Heather's expression is really good. I guess Froggo's not lookin' TOO g--
WOW wwhat a coincidence, I'm listening to Trashcast rn and EVS LITERALLY JUST SAID "Reservoir Frog" because he's thinking of reprinting some.
Anyway this isn't a frogpost.
Iiiiiiii... hm. i feel ok. my head's a little--lmao. as always. but the MOMENTUM i was able to get going has kept up. You know, uhhhhh... working out helps. with a lot.. uh... a good remedy for so many of life's woes is to just drop and do a set of push-ups. And follow it up with a Rosary.
What's today... Sunday?... The ___ Mysteries. I'm so out of it man, I forgot The Glorious Mysteries are Sunday, with them all repeating except The Luminous on Thursday. i think that's right. i used to know it by heart. I think I still do, it's just my DUMB BRAIN that NO WORK SO GOOD rn...
GAHHHHHHHH my head. imgogrgrsggrs
lemme... ufc? no, no recap. the fights sucked. im actually getting tired of following it. Plus, it's an awful company for a pretty shitty sport. It'd be one thing if they actually had tournaments to fairly arrange fights, but they don't. They make memefights, they give prospects they like easy opponents to pad their resumes. And these guys fight 2 times a year while like... Muay Thai fighters fight uh... 20 times a year lmao
And ufc fans always whine when there's grappling in a fight. I getttttttt it, it's not as fun as striking, but this is the sport YOU chose to watch, retard. Just watch kickboxing and stop pretending you want "a sport as close to real fighting as possible", it's such a meme. I don't BLAME YOU, kickboxing is more entertaining, and I'll probably start watching it too.
Anywaaaaaaaaaaayyy...
Ryza? I only played the opening, I've done basically nothing. But it's veryyyyy bright and beautiful and it has nice music, so. Things are looking comfy. Ryza's a funny character, and her charming antics are a good distraction from her thighs. ive barely even looked at her thighs! Or her chest!
The combat system's prettyyy neato, but I've only experienced the most basic-- like I don't even have alchemy yet.illplaymore tomorrowwww...
I was impressed that the game didn't force-feed me English voices when I turned it on. I don't even know if there *are* English voices at all, and I'm not going to find out. Something terrible that happened in Tears of the Kingdom was that I had to suffer through the opening with Zelda's AWFUL, AWFUL English VA before I was allowed to go to the menu and switch to Japanese.
vile. okay okaiagoijrsogis
OKAY IM WRAPPING Up this post-- it's a TEST POSt with my exciting new update to my ...python form that, ideally will format this perfectly so i dont have to do aaaanything except just drop the new file in aogzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
ill ttyl. pls have a relaxing day, fren
God bless
06/29 Nice unnatural light, bro
hey fren, hope youre well
Me? I am not lmao. I kinda am, but...well. I had to take a bit of my older meds because I was just uh. my head was in agooonyyyy. And now it's not-so-much. But now I run the risk of going low-energy zombiemode again. I ha... ideally I can taper off very slowly, but. meh. I can't really express how hard it is for me to write these stupid blog posts sometimes lmao. Writers love complaining about how hard it is to write, but it's only hard for me because my freaking head either hurts, or I'm uh, like a fogbrained husk of a man. It's sad. But I'm here right now by the grace of God, so allow me pls to just talk to you for a bit about trivial things.
Vidya?
I played a little Link to the Past today.
It's so many ZELDA-BOOMERS' favorite, but it's one of the few that I've never finished. I finished A Link Between Worlds, but that doesn't count, right?
I like it, though. It's a real ball-buster though lmao There's so many enemies on every screen constantly trying to turn you into a princess.
I forgot besides Princess Zelda, you have to save SEVEN MAIDENS. That's pretty wild. In a Link Between Worlds, they're not all maidens, that would be unacceptable. Uhhhh, men can be helpless victims too ya know.
I blmao i-- don't get the wrong idea. Okay? Okay, NERD? You think YOU like badass and/or competent female characters more than ME? Well ONE of us has spent months and months now reading basically nothing but books and comics starring women who are either decapitating fishmen with swords, decapitating regular men with swords, or uh... learning magic to become influential political figures.
The fattest lie the feminist delights in telling is that men don't want women toever do anything except be pregnant. As if there'd be something wrong with that, but no-- please, do something. Do something cool and smart. Can you, though? No, feminists cannot, that's the issue. They're experts at complaining and not much else. They're just[started going off sry]
I read an article a while ago about some girl(Asian) who invented a giant bug zapper that uses AI to only activate when a certain invasive species has landed on itlmao. THAT'S cool. I mean, she should still probably get married and make more of her, but I AM glad that she did this cool and useful thing. She wouldn't have been able to do that if she was like, you know. A social critic. Like me or a feminist.
Ok, enough.
Penumbra: Black Plague is really good. But it's also really BAD because I can't get it working w/ Proton. Isn't that tragic?
I was playing some AMNESIA: Derr Dark Descent, and it's. ok, but .It's not Penumbra. The Sanity stuff kinda sucks lol. It gives me a heeeeeaaaadddacchee(ME!). You can turn the dizzying effects off, but then it's just-- like, extra pointless. Also the STOOOOORY is just-- am I just getting old, when I have so much less tolerance for people and animals being tortured than I used to? Uh, spoiler for a 100 year old game: your character basically got lied to and groomed into torturing people in order to try to save himself from a stupid cosmic entity that looks like fleshy wallpaper. Really, your benefactor is basically just an alien who drinks a chemical people(and doggos to a lesser extent) secrete when they're suffering and in fear. Like a Hollywood executive. It's.
It's not Penumbra. Penumbra has a dark story, but nothing as uh... overtly nasty as that. And it has waaaaaay better atmosphere than Amnesia. There are no "That light... it doesn't seem natural" moments in Amnesia. There are none. And I can't even play the best Penumbra. THE SUFFERING IS REAL.
Even Penumbra: Overture is ackkkshually better than Amnesia. I used to not like it as much as Black P-- well, maybe I still don't. But it's better than Amnesia anyway. I don't like saying that, because The Dark Descent really is good, it's just uhhhhhhhhhhhh... again. Not Penumbra.
I don't think Frictional Games can make Penumbras anymore. Amenesia: The Bunker is fun, but it's just too much of an action game. It's a collectathon where you're hiding from a monster. I can't even remember any p-- okay, I guess it's fair to say there's some light puzzles in it, and the creative ways you can overcome obstacles is impressive.
Penumbra just had so much more of a focus on traditional puzzles, and it's kinda COMFY even if it is a survival horror game. You have to repair a server in Black Plague by reading the instruction manual, and it's just 🤌
I still liked Le Bunker, but uh. ech. I'm just rambling now.
I got Atelier Ryza. I complained that it wasn't on sale the other day, now it's on sale. I'm not saying God influenced Koei Tecmo, but I AM saying that Koei Tecmo executives read my blog.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Ryza's installing rn. What should I try first? Her or Trails of Cold Steel?
I think they'll both be comfy though, soooo thaaaaatssss nice. Do I still have enough brainpower to handle a jrpg? Do I still have enough heart to get involved in one's story? I thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiink so. Wish me luck.
UFC303 tomorrow? Exciting. As long as Michelle Waterson doesn't get mauled, I'll be OK. I'm rooooooooting for Jiri over Alex I think, but I just can't decide if he'll be able to get it done. People act liKe Pereira's fists are nukes, and they are, but people forget man, he didn't knock out Jan. Jiri can win. I think he has to wrestle though.
It's wrong of me, but Alex's new fans are so gay that that it helps to root against him lol. And I JUST was rooting for him against Jamahal Hill a few months ago. Sad! Uhhhhhhh. Love Jiri though, he's Our Guy. but
BUT.
let's wrapitup. are you hungry? i think i mightbe................
s...im gonna go. pls take care of yourself, and have a warm day.
God bless, fren
06/28 The Thin Lewd Line
heyhyey fren. hope youreee feeling well.
I'm still reading Drakuun, iii just finished another issue. It's. Fun. Johji Manabe's artwork is really good. The machinery, the cities, it all is just really impressive, and nice to look at. And yeah, DA WOMEN. sheeeit.
He has a way of drawing women with a-- I hate to use the word "curvy", because when niggas use it today they're always talking about fat women... Manabe draws fit women but he draws them with a *thin* layer of fat on them, so they're still overall very in shape/muscular/cuUuuUuuurvy, they're just not uh 0% bodyfat. So for example, they won't have abs, but they'll still have the line up the center of their stomachs. You know what I mean. He does a good job. You believe me, right? Let me just find a freaking pic of the ... ...okay, trying to find one that isn't too lewd is really difficult and I don't feel like going through the effort of taking a pic of my own books... so this'll do. NOTE THE TUMMY LINE, ok? It's THERE. You see what I mean? She's fit, but there's the *thin* layer of healthy fat. RAAAAAAH, IF YOU NEED MORE EVIDENCE, JUST SEARCH YOURSELF, I CAN'T FIND A GOOD ENOUGH PANEL RN TO PROVE TO YOU THAT I'M NOT INSANE. THEY'RE GOOD BOOKS ANYWAY, OK? THERE'S JUST NUDITY IN THEM AND I'M NOT POSTING IT
THERE'S A THIN LEWD LINE that protects society. And I'm here defending my country by telling you "The girls in this manga are sexy, but I'm not going to show you."
Why am i talking about this... my head hurts. does it? ... it does a little.
I'm switching medications, so i'm kinda having a blmao a bit of a rough time, you understand.
i ... was at least able to work out moar. Like significantly more than I've been. Still less than what I used to, but, God willing I can get back there. That's always a good thing, but bruh my head lmao. My head is just-- do I have to cut the blog short? would you be mad at me?
Okay, lmeme just..... I got Prince of Qin, so I'm looking forward to Chinese lectures. Aaaaand I DID end up getting Trails of Cold Steel. Which Lutris absolutely couldn't download, so I'm dling from Gog rn. Hopefully a painless install, right? Wish me luck.
I'm really OK, I just... i get really tired of my head hurting man lmao. Like it's just TIRING, you know? It's not even that painful, thank God, but it's liiiiike... whatever.ultimately i;m a very blessed person and I ought to remember that.
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. yeah im fine. I just. maybe i stress out too much lmao. im really ok. ill just ttyl, ok?
pls take care of yourself. pray for me pls if you feel like it, aaaand. have a cozy day.
God bless, fren
06/27 my arms are sore, let's look at video games
i deserve to play games while i wait for my muscles to recover. right?
hey fren, i hoep you're feeling well rn
This isn't a Shipost, I just had this pic of Senrayku's cover up on my ebay because I've been delaying getting it for months.
Call me a faggot, but Shi's outfit is just cool. It's very JoJoesque, isn't it? The poses certainly help evoke that Joestar feel. But iirc, Billy Tucci actually was a fashion designer before he started drawing her.
That's the kind of fashion design that doesn't uh... make me sick lol
A certain level of flamboyance. Not *too* much.
My better-conservative brothers might not appreciate how uh... less-covered she is below the waist. BUT SHE'S GOTTA BE ABLE TO MOVE QUICKLY, full pants would be TOO CUMBERSOME. Yeah im coping BIG DEAL. Quiet did nothing wrong, either.
Anyway... wanna go through my Gog wishlist with me LOL.
Let's see...
Some of these, we can just get rid of. Do I really want The Count Luncanor that badly? No...
Last Labyrinth? YOOOO "voiced by Stefanie Joosten, Quiet from Metal Gear Solid V". What a coincidence, right? Still $20 though? Let's leave it on the list, but not get it rn... oh maaan, the devs worked on ICO and Shadow of the Colossus though?
"SAW meets ICO" Uh, I like 1/2 of that.
Here's a review--"Incidentally, she isn't really being tortured, it's just some really dark decisions." What does THAT MEAN? "just some really dark decisions" ffs, no-one ever can just COMMUNICATE AN IDEA
Whatever, let's move on. I'll check it out later. Laaaaast Labyrinth. It does look interesting though.
Here's our goal. 36 items on the list now, let's knock it down to 20, one way or another!
ok ok... System Shock 2 Enhanced. Not even out yet, and I honestly might not even want it. I didn't love the remake of 1. I think I'd more-likely play the OG 2. Let's get rid of it.
Tokyo Xanadu eX+? I really want it, Xanadu Next is reaaaaally good, and the trailers for Tokyo Xanadu have sold me. But it's full-price. Oy friggin vey. Leave it for now.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance? On sale, but do I REALLY want a knight simulator? It's cool and all, but... I think it's too-involved for me. If I'm going to play a life-sim, you have to either give me monsters or anime girls.
FATE: The Complete Adventure? I already have FATE, it's neat, but I don't really love it enough to get the expansions at full-price. Maaaaybe if it was on sale. Leave it.
Divinity: Original Sin 2? A wrpg that I added for no reason. There's no way I actually want to play it, let's check out the trailer... mmmm, "the gods are dead, gods-schmods, I don't care about them, it's up to us mortals to--" Zzzzzzzzzwaoaw nice story. Out ya go.
Dragon's Dogma? I already have it on Steam, I'm not paying for it again. Out.
Don't Be Afraid? some horror game, let's just yeet it.
Okay, now we're in dangerous territory... the Ys games. Let's skip them for now...
Blade of Darkness? Mmmm... Let's leave it alone for now.
Zwei: The Ilvard Insurrection? Hm. Leave it.
X-Blades? Ehhh. You know. Let's just get rid of it.
Prodeus? Yeet.
Crystal Project? Yeet. Turok 3? Yeet. Zwei: Arges Adventure? Saaaaave...
Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie? Ssss...ave for now.
Asterigos: Curse of the Stars? Yeet into the stars.
The Bard's Tale IV? Yeet. Disciples 2? Yeet. Alpha Protocol? Yeet Protocol.
Potion Permit? Uhhh... Indonesian dev, cool, UK publisher, very uncool. Need to learn more. Leave for now pending investigation.
Warhammer Boltgun? GET IT OUTTA HERE, i don't care about action anymore.
Mary Skelter 1 & 2? Idk. I think I saw a Nun in a trailer, and I need to see if they're harmed or disrespected, so -- leave for now.
Trails in the Sky and Trails of Cold Steel II? Gotta think about this.
Quake 4? ECH. it is cool, but I played it enough as a kid. YEET.
Prince of Qin lol. it's a dollar and I want it. leave it. Some guy was complaining--let's see... "my character is constantly lecturing me on how to be a good Chinese man and an honorable civil servant!" Uhhh, yeah, I want that lmao. I love Chinese lecturing. Romance of the Three Kingdoms left an impression on me. It even affected some of my writing. okok let's just move on...
Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone? I have to stop letting Elf women mesmerize me. Just leave it for now though.
Trenches - World War 1 Horror Survival Game? The "It mimics the voices of your loved ones" idea is nice, but the character's loved ones aren't mine, so this doesn't really work. I know if I start hearing a woman crying, it's the monster. It's a trench, there's no women here. Nice idea for a story, doesn't work as a game. YEET.
Evil Islands? An old open-world wrpg before the West was gay. Leave for nowwww...
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided? I feel like I have it on Steam already. YEET.
Dawn of Kagura: Maika's Story- The Dragon's Wrath looks neato, but it's $20. ECH. ECH.
That's it, we did it. Only 19 on the list now.
I already have Ys 1 and 2, so I'll uh... play them first.
I'll be thinking about a Trails game though. I saw FISHING in one of them too,FISHING. HOW CAN I SAY NO TO THAT, HORSE RIDING AND FISHING? I'll have to. I think it's the Trails of Cold Steel games, but I'll make sure.
I've waaaaaaaaaaaaasted enough of our tim-- oh... UFC303's this weekend isn't it? Wanna go over picks real quick? Get it outta the way, right?
Ricky Simon vs Vinicius Oliveira? ooo Ricky KO's Song Yadong last year. It's all Ricky, baby.
Rei Tsuruya vs Carlos Hernandez. My heart says Rei. And my head says Rei. Much younger, undefeated. Has KO power. Japan on the rise baby.
Andrei Arlovski vs Marin Buday? Nothing like a fat heavyweight flukematch. I'll take a risk on Andrei.
Michelle Waterson vs Gillian Robertson? I'm still not over Michelle being robbed in her second-to-last fight and then being fed to a much bigger and stronger woman who tko'd her. That hurts. And Gillian's last win was a TKO. For a woman, that's wild. Almost 10 years younger than Michelle. Michelle's path to victory is decisio-- I'm looking at Gillian rn and she's just so FIT, I have to stop. I'm rooting for you Michelle, pls win and retire. I'm tired of seeing you get hurt.
Payton Talbott vs Yanis Ghemmouri... Payton Talbott. is so gay. but I think almost no-one can beat him outside the top ranked guys. So, rest in pieces Yanis, sry you're getting fed to him.
Charles Jourdain vs Jean Silva. Featherweights... Jourdain's record is shit and he's kinda an idiot. Coming off a loss, and Silva's on a 9-fight win streakkk... Jourdain's the favorite, but I think Jean can get it done. I hope so anyway.
Old Man Cub Swanson vs Andre Fili. idk, who cares. Fili probably. His gay Shiva/demon tattoos are so stupid though lmao but I also don't like Cub because he clobbered Dooho Choi. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatever.
Saltyman Joe Pyfer, the Strongest Man in the World, who shattered Francis Ngannou's punch record vssss.... Marc-Andre Barriault. This is totally up to Joe. Hermansson mentally broke him in their fight. I have to assume he got his shit together, so I'm going with him.
Ian Garry vs Michael Page. Garry ALL DAY BAY BAYYY. Uhh... he can do it. He's more well-rounded, he's a solid striker, my dog is licking herself and making a lot of noise, let's see how she is... ok, she's ok. Uh... Ian Garry winning would drive people insane, so that's really all I want. He's such an asshole, and I like him.
Mayra Bueno Silva vs Macy Chiasson. Look, there's only so much you can care about WMMA. All right... Macy's the dog, but she's got a pretty fair reach advantage here. But. It's harder for women to utilise this, simply because they don't have the knockout power men do... and they don't exactly have the footwork to dance on the outside and just point fight. There's no reason Mayra can't power through and push her against the cage. Also Macy's been KO'd. 2 years ago, fine. But her chin hasn't *improved*. I'm going with Bueno Silva. DOMINANT decision.
Now we're talking ANTHONY LIONHEART SMITH vs Roman Dolidze. One of those great "whoever wins" fights. Both total kings, don't really care. BUT: Roman's coming up from middleweight. That's wild. I don't see him taking Anthony down, or at least not holding him down. I have to go with the criminally-underrated Smith here. Or do I?... I can't even remember if I've seen any of Roman's fights. But it's hard for me to see him finishing Smith. And if he's not finishing Smith, Smith is winning be decision. So DAS IT, I think. Roman's also taking the fight on short notice, I thiiiiiiink Anthony was preparing to fight on this card? idr, I'm picking him either way.LION. HEART.
Brian Ortega vs Diego Lopes. Heart-breaking fight. But Diego's RISING, baby. It's his time. He and his haircut are the future of the featherweight division, and he's going to prove it by dominantly finishing an ELITE veteran like Brian Ortega. r1, GO DIEGO GO
Alex Perereraira vs Jiri Prochazfdcaha?
My heart says Jiri, my head says Alex? Jiri *was* winning their first fight. Until he wasn't. Heavier weightclasses and their gay fluke 1-shot knockout power. At least when flyweights fight, there's no question of "luck". Jiri's so wild. If he's made adjustments to avoid Alex's left hook, he wins the fight. He's definitely got better grappling. But Alex has surelyyyyy been training with Glover to improve there, so who knows? It's not outside the realm of possibility that Alex SUBMITS Jiri just like Glover almost did, right? It's gonna be insane. It's just uh... a little sad that I doubt we'll see all 5 rounds. People have said that as the fight goes on it favors Jiri. Idk if that's necessarily true. Alex has shown that he can win at any time. Whether it's in round 1 against Hill, round 2 against Jiri, or even round 5 against Izzy.
But when we talk about Alex's power, we tend to neglect Jiri's. What happened in his last fight? His legs were getting chewed up, everyone was insisting IT'S SO OVER, JIRI'S LEGS ARE COOKED. And then he chased Rakic down, on his supposedly compromised legs, and finished him.
Something worth noting is that Alex DID actually leg kick Jiri so hard that he completely knocked him off balance at least twice. Even though leg kicks in generfal are extremely overrated, ALEX's evidently aren't. Being off-balance in front of Alex? That's not good. Those kicks might even be more dangerous than his left hook. They're easier for Alex to land, and he'll keep landing them.
Jiri's path to victory seeeeeems to be trying to take Alex down again. His wild autism style on the feet is good, but it's not... good enough. I think. Unless he can get Alex against the cage with it. And he can, and he can win a round that way, just like he did the first time. But every round starts standing up. It's just seemingly so-much more dangerous for Jiri. A bit of luck for him is that Alex doesn't seem to have been able to train as hard, he's also taking it on short-notice, aaaand, he may have a broken toe? That's not a huge deal but--
it sucks to talk like this lmao. Jiri Prochazka was the most dominant force in the light heavyweight division just what, 2 years ago? He beat EVERYBODY. Look at the freakin guy's record. He has THREE TIMES the amount of experience as Pereira in the octagon. 30 wins, and only 4 losses. Alex has 10 wins and 2 losses. You think if Alex fights another 20 times, he's only going to lose 2 more times? MAYBE, but the point is that Jiri is without question one of the greatest light heavyweights around. It sucks seeing people talk about this fight like he just has no chance whatsoever. He won the first round of their last fight. Jan took Alex to a CLOSE decision. Izzy KO'd Alex stiff. Anything can happen.
Anyway, I'm going to HOLD OFF on picking this fight until I see how they look at weigh-ins.
I can't believe3 i wroteaoiregaeouiraegui
lmao ill ttyylllllll. pls take care and have a comfy day. God bles, fren
06/25 Me talking to jrpg localizers
Hey fren, I hope you’re feeling well. Pic unrelated, I’m just reusing it. Or maybe not, would it be that strange for me to end up talking about Harry Potter?
I kind of want Dragon Quest XI. It’s on sale, you know. I’d feel like such a freaking poseur, though.
I’m not like Everybody Else, I never played Dragon Quest VIII. So how dare I just jump in and play XI when I’ve only played 1,2,3 and *some* of 5?
Even worse, I definitely can’t get Atelier Ryza, I’ve never played any of the other Atelier games.
The World: Oh what, now that there’s a tomboy with thigh boots you want to try the series?
Me: No, you don’t understand!
It’s a shame because it looks incredible. The game. The GAME.
You know, even with insanely bad English localization, jrpg fans still eat good. They can only ruin games so much.
AAAAARH, WAIT A SEC... there was a game I kinda wanted to check out... I'm in a bit of a HORSE MOOD. lmao. Like I-- it's cool that you can ride a horse in Dragon Quest XI. But I'm thinking of a different game now... Tales something...
1 sec...
Oh no. I have 37 items on my Gog wishlist, and 30 of them are on sale 😭
The game I was thinking of was The Legend of Heroes: TRAILS of Cold Steel II
Yeah, three guesses on if I've played The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel I.
That'd be EVEN WORSE than me getting Dragon Quest XI, right?!
Bleh, look at this review for TrailsIII:
The devs are based, unfortunately they aren't the ones handling translation. During a livestream NISA talked about censoring games to remove offensive things like "sexist" jokes. They later backtracked that statement. However, this game removes not just references of femininity but the word itself. This is in addition to general overzealous culturalization, or whitewashing as some call it. NISA has a long history of being on the pro-censorship and anti-japan side of localization.
At least it's a good reason to Not Pay For It. Still, I hate to hear that. My "Erm just learn Japanese then chud" resolution is coming along VERY well though. The other day when I was playing Trinity Trigger, a character said OHAYO and the subtitles read: "Trans rights NOW!" and I knew it wasn't correct. I'll be fluent in a matter of years.
And then I can Pay For the Japanese versions instead of Not Paying For the English ones.
No, it's uh... idk. What if I just sent a check directly to the devs?
That's such a good idea that it can't work. I'll figure it out. I have like a week before these sales end. I should have just gotten Ryza when it was on sale what a freaking mistake.
Anyway...do you want to talk about anything? Oh, Harry Potter? ... ... Okay, I can't do it, you were right. Was there a reason I stopped writing HP Longbottom? I was probably busy. That's so weird. Maybe I'll write some more. There, I made the pic related. My finger hurts, I think I hurt it lifting weights. That's so stupid I can't stand it. I can't freaking type.
I'll ttyl. pls take care aaaaand. have a warm day.
God bless, fren.
RETVRN

im going to uninstall The Bunker rn, 1 sec.
there. i was playing it too much. i basically beat it to death anyway. it was good. uhhh... you know, 1 thing i can never stand is seeing priests harmed, and of course there was a dead priest. I mean *everyone* was dead, but uh... that's all, i dont like it. im tired of it. and the more i think about it, the more i uh. REGRET? even playing the bunker. maybe im focusing too much on it, but so what? it's a video game and even if there were zero dead priests, i would have been better off not even playing it lmao. whata waaaaaaaste of tiiiiiiiiiiiiime maaaaaaaaaaaan. at least i . didn't get every achievement. i totally was STRONG and UNINSTALLED it, like someone with a lot of self-control, and it only took me until after i'd finished it and gotten most of the achievements andAHAHAHAHAHAHA
im tired. im watching Sam Hyde play Fallout 3.
[3 paragraphs of me whining about other people whining about "racism"]
what was i talking about again...? Fallout 3?
Ermm... you do realize that Fallout 3 is making FUN of people like you... right?
Always the elipses lmao
[more whining for 2 paragraphs]

Ricky Turcios, DOMINANT decision
Uhhh Jacoby by KO, Reyes spent all his power defeating Jon Jones
aaand. Imavov by decision, Imavov has literally NO excuse not to win by decision, and if he doesn't win(by decision), then UFC fighters are trash. there's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't be able to outstrike a 40 year old man
that's it. I put 1/2 as much thought into this as last time when I went 10-2, so if I do better or the same, MMA isn't a real sport.
That's about all
CENSORED blog!!! (all my friends are 💀)
Women are great and pretty.
I finished a NG+ "custom difficulty" playthrough of The Bunkerino. (1 MOAR DAY UNTIL INGLORIOUS REX 2 ARRIVES ;_;)... OH ALSO, ANNA That Star Wars Girl is PREGNANT? That's so great, God bless her. And God bless you for suffering to the end of this stupid rambling blog post, ttyl havagooddaypls **edited to remove pointlessrambling
wanna bunk with me? ;3
we're so bunk
i finished der bunker today. it was prettyyyyy. good. i liked it. hmmm... what did it take me, like 3 or 4 hours to finish. Call the tutorial and intro about half an hour, then you're basically in the *main* part of the game. you're in her guts. sugar walls.
it's lmao so, YOU'RE A FRENCHIE in WWI, which immediately is pretty nice because you don't have to worry about any kind of exhausting kvetching about nazis in the game. You get trapped in a bunker with a booboo on your head, so you have AMNESIA and there's a MONSTER in there with you. You find the Administration Office and that's like your "safe room" for most of the game, because it hasre lockable metal doors and no holes in the wall for monstro to come through. Connected to it is a generator room where you can fuel and toggle a generator that powers all the lights in the bunker. The lights are important because when they're on, monsterbro will only come out if you're making a lot of noise. He doesn't like the light. When it's lights-out, he'll come out sometimes just because he feels like it. I was probably about 2 hours into the game before I actually had my first encounter with him coming out of the walls.
So: You need to find some dy-no-miiiite and a trigger to blow up a collapsed tunnel and escape, so you wander around collecting stuff like a wrench to open grates or a bolt cutter to cut chaaaains, all the while avoiding being rped by this monster. It'sssssssssssss pretty great. (it's also very much like the 1st Penumbra game)
I've decided it's better than Alien: Isolation. Significantly better, ACKSHUALLY.
The game's relatively short, but it's STACKED with stuff to do. Stuff you're not going to do because you're not going to think about it. Like here's a wooden door bro, how do you wanna get inside? With explosives? With a shotgun? Maybe try to find a way around? Oh boy RATS, what do? KILL them? Lure them away with some meat? Spook em with a flare? Chuck something heavy at them? WAVE A TORCH AROUND AT EM?
HEY THEY'RE GONNA COME BACK THOUGH, maybe you wanna consider expending some of your precious fuel to burn the body they were eating? Or what if you lured the monster to come out and maybe he'll run through and kill them for you?
HEY THE MONSTER'S OUT!? SHOULD YOU HIDE UNDER A BED? MAYBE SHOOT HIM TO SCARE HIM AWAY TEMPORARILY? THOSE BULLETS ARE PRECIOUS THOUGH, WHAT IF YOU NEED ONE TO SHOOT OPEN A LOCK? OH WAIT, D--sorry caps lock, what if you have your bolt cutters, so you don't need the pistol to shoot open locks anymore? Ruh-oh, you tripped a trap and you've been WOUNDED, and some RATS are being attracted to you. Is it so over? Or can you use this to lure them into another trap? Oh, you can't? Uh, better close the door on them thenlol.
Uh, the game's really neato, that's all. After playing it, I think they basically nailed it. I actually LOVE its length(that's what I said). It doesn't overstay its welcome at all.(Something Alien: Isolation very much did)
The items & inventory I was whining about last night is actually prettyyyyy good, and playing on Normal, I finished with an abundance of every kind of resource.
I can't believe the way my dog's lying on my bed rn. She's on her back with her head down over the side. Of course i don't have my phone near me so i cant take a picture. she looks so comfy. i wish i could be that comfortable on my bed. maybe i should start sleeping on the floor again. What was i talking about? Amnesia?... lol. get it?... haaaaaaaaaaa
Umm... The Buuuuunker... items... oh, soo rags are actually preeeeetty good, because you can combine them with STICKS to make a torch, which is like a perfect rat-repellent for the rest of the game. It burns out eventually. Idk how long it lasts, maybe 30 seconds or a minute, but if you only take it out to spook rats, you can keep 1 torch the entire game. It'd be a great light source if it lasted longer. But it doesn't. Unlike your wind-up flashlight, it's also quiiiiet, so it's got that going for it, too. But if you're in a position where you need to be quiet because monsterbro's nearby, you're probably not going to want to be lit up anyway. Even though he doesn't like light, he's uh-- you know, he can see you if you're lit uplol. In the pitch-black darkness, his vision isn't actually much better than yours, so you can play spooky hide-and-seek.
ANYWAY that's all. the game's goooooood, i likeeeeee it, and when you beat it, you get NG+ where you can just randomize eveeeeerythiiiiiing, so "NO TWO PLAYTHROUGHS ARE THE SAME" and that's pretty special. I think the core gameplay is fun enough to justify it. A little scavenging, some hiiiiiiding from a moooonster, and a little rat wrangling. It's a solid game. And it's wrapped up in a simple but good little story that shockingly isn't extremely gay for Current Year.
I'd still put it below A Machine For Pigs because I'm a hipster snob. But I can SAFELY call it better than Rebirth, since Rebirth was 1/2 trash.
Anything else?
no.WAIT. Inglorious Rex 2 is coming on Friday, so I'm very excited :') I have to re-read 1, I'll probably Rexpost about it. okTHAT'S it. the blog is finished.
let's uhhhhh..ill ttyl.
pls take care of yourself and have a . relaxing day.
God bless, fren
typical RAT behavior 🐀
before i keep forgetting, check out
Mojahed Fudailat
on youtube. funny ufc animations.
i am calling on you to start getting into mma. if you have amazon prime, you can watch ONE FC for free. it's better than UFC anyway.
my head is killing me. why is my head killing me? it's different than usual, though. it's the kind of headache that actually kinda "hurts good". ultimately it still hurts, though. like it's going to get to me eventually.
God help me.
Amnesia: DA BUNKA is prettyyyyyyy good. The inventory + crafting system is a little messy. Like consider the following: you can either carry a rag or a fuel tank. First of all, does that make sense? No of course not, BUT beyond it not making sense, the value of the rag as an item is diminshed because it has to compete with the fuel barrel. Which isn't *necessarily* a bad thing, because obviously not all supplies have to be equal in value. But a fuel tank is going to keep the lights on and keep the monster away so you can explore much more easily for a few minutes. A rag needs to be combined with ANOTHER rag to make a bandage, which will heal your wounds. The monster 1-hits you. The main threat of being wounded is the rats. The rats are easily avoidable in a number of ways. And if you *do* get injured in some way, there's first-aid kits.
So it's uhhhhh... there should have been a separate space for ragslmao. They're rags, you shouldn't have to drop one to carry a tank. It makes them basically worthless. The rag isn't a progression item, it's an "i made a mistake" item. Which isn't bad, but *is* bad when it has to compete with a progression item. The fuel tank can be used to rid yourself of some rats permanently. It's not a contest.
The same general idea applies to your pocketwatch. It's a POCKET watch, it goes in your pocket, why does it take 1-unit of inventory space equal to----zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
im just whining. the game is pretty fun. and i do kiiiiiiiiiiinda like the Resident Evil style inventory. generally.mostly.my head... what's ha..............................
ill brb.
kk, im good. it started getting to me.
uhhhhh... the monster is pretty scary. He's just called THE BEAST. he IS a bit better than the Alien from Alien: Isolation. A little less of a constant-nag. At least when the lights are on. I try not to let the lights go out.
You can actually turn the generator off whenever you want to, to save fuel. I should try to progress a little bit with it off to get a better feel for the monster.
You've got a fair amount of options for coping with him. Hiding under desks and beds, in closets, uhhhh, you can shoot him to stun him temporarily--i'm not 100% on how much it takes to get him to retreat. I feel like I once shot him 1 time and he ran back into the walls, but another time I had to sink 3 bullets into him.
You can aaaaalso... use grenades. Orrrr. run. That's about it, it's just better to not be seen by him. Wait, you can aaalso... light fires, lure him into pre-set traps, uhhhh... oh, something kinda neat is that he'll kill rats for you if they happen to be in his way. What else... Zzzzzzzzzzzzz im sleepy. oh, and beyond just hearing him hobbling around in the walls, he'll also make the lights flicker when he's close, so you know it's time to stop making noise. obviously no such clue is available when the lights are shut down, but he's a noisy enough lad on his own.
Anyway, he's a good monster. very intimidating.
There wasa very, very similar monster in Penumbra, who'd kill you in the dark if you didn't plug up some holes in the wall first. Basically exactly the same, but you never saw it. very coool, thanks
ok im in a mood because owie owie my head hurtsLOL.
so... am i forgetttttttttting anything... reading? Drakuun still. waiting for inglorious rex 2. coping and seething a little because the shipping label's created but it still hasn't been sent yet so im like checking it every day, beingg all miserable and reeeeeeee ;_;
Shane Davis is so freaking funny. Some faggot on twitter was whining at him for a "racist" character in the book, and Shane just responded with: "Sheeeeeeeeeit" I can't believe that. Maybe Gen Xers really aren't so bad. actually no, they're bad until i get my book.
uhhhh. that's it. im gonna go. take something, ill . ttttttttttttyl.
pls take care and have a happy day
God bless, fren
Neocities-Nihilism and Its Consequences
our money's funny
our change is strange
these days aint sunny and the sea aint tame
goooooood afternoon neofrens, im here to blog at you *pounce*
im writing this w/ muh gay little python thing now, im TIRED. im TIRED of writing in freakin libreoffice.
it worked fine, but--it was just exhaustinglmao. like i wanted something to simplify muh blogging experience, and i ended up, what? having to click images and set their distance from the border and anchor them to the paragraph and Zzzzzzzz
what a nightmare. so. idk for now, im going back to this.
WHAT'S NEW, Pikachu? i went 10-2 in picks last night. 8-4 if im being unfair to myself. Porrrrer-ayyyy did well, but Millions Must Makhachev.
picking fights kinda makes it less fun though imo. because then instead of just sitting back and enjoying the fights, i actively root for someone, and it makes it much less comfy. so i probably won't d--i mean i always have *some* idea of who i think will win, but if i don't say it out loudlmao or if i dont write it down, then i dont have to be held accountablmao anyway whocares
uhhhhh... hm. bad stuff happened to Nick Rekieta. i dont uh... care. i want him to end up OK, that's all. "Guy becomes addicted to addictive substance" isn't really ... like mind-blowing news to me. So hopefully uh... rehab, work out marriage issues, whatever. just be OK.
"Just Be OK" is what i want for everyone.
a guuuuuuy on NEOCITIES was banned recently, presumably for spamming and following people who'd blocked him. And it's uh. a little sad. because i put myself in the shoes of someone who apparently wants a bunch of neocities followers, and i lose my website. it's just uh. kinda...
anyway, he was a nihilist, and i thought that was really. something.
because the freedom that nihilists believe they obtain by pretending that there is no meaning to life seems to never result in anything especially impressive.
we see in this instance that it ends up essentially taking the form of a social media spam bot. Is that what freedom is?
I think it's a uh... and look, no haaaaate to the guy again, he's just a young guy with a website, but this is the point--everyone's either a slave to Christ or they're a slave to sin. The "freedom" that comes from declaring that life has no meaning is just an enslavement to our base desires. Like attention. It's very human to want attention. But it's good to be... aware of what's going on inside yourself, and to be able to take a step back and to respect people when they don't want to be part of an advertisement campaign.
That's not as easy when we pretend that life has no meaning. And it ends up with uhhhhhhhhhh, making extremely-unnecessary social mistakes. Like there's enough things for everyone to be mad about already.
That's all. It's not really uhhhhhh... Zzzzzzzzzzzzz i hope he ends up OK, that's all.
Nobody's OK enough anymore. I know i'm not. im freakin exhausted.
AMNESIA: THE BUNKER.
it was on sale, so i finally caved and got it. Rebirth actually wasn't as bad as people say it was, but it was agonizing that one of the main villains was like just a racist guy who was mad at you for not fucking him lmao. i thought that was just silly, very Current Year kind of villain. what else... actually, a lot of it *was* boring as hell too, but there w--i'd say 50/50. it had some AWESOME parts, and honestly, the pregnancy thing was kinda cool. uh. overall though? worst Amnesia game. even with the cool parts, worst Amnesia game. Worse than Machine For Pigs(underrated), waaaaaaaaay worse than Penumbra.
anywaaaaaaaayzzzzzzzz... i hope The Bunker's not too gay, that's all. I've heard it favorably compared to Alien, because the monster doesn't rubber-band to you. I hope that's true, because Alien was way *over*rated imo, you never had a single moment's peace to explore. a--im sooooooooo tiiiiiiiiiireddddddddd
how about. ill ttyl. pls take care of yourself.
aaaaand. have a relaxing day.
God bless, fren.
