11/20 Ys-y does it
Hey fren, I hope you're well today.
Uhhhh... hm. I just finished Ys II. Like Ys I, it was pretty great until the end, which was miserable. Ys I throws a 24-level tower at you, but Ys II throws a labyrinth city at you called the Temple of Solomon (or, Salmon in the localization) I think I spent more time running around the Temple of Solomon than I did the rest of the entire game.
That said, uhhhh... it wasn't too hard. The game's easier than the first. The bosses are a less cheap, you have *magic* now so you can use a ranged attack. Most of the bosses didn't kill me once and none of them killed me twice. So, that's nice. I played on normal, I'm never going to play it on nightmare. It already was a nightmare.
It's really a very... interesting game. There's so much about it that I really, really like. Just like the first game, the world is very charming. You have a lOoOoOooove interest now. You can give her flowers. And apples. You can give anyone flowers or apples. There's equipment and items to buy to make life easier, there's mAaaAagical items to find-- I think I missed one... ah I did. Also I missed a bunch of MEAT that you can get from giving gifts to certain villagers.
Not that useful. The game is actually really easy outside of bosses. Your fireball magic yeets any enemy in a few shots, and you can fire huuuuuundreds of them without running low on magic. It's very easy to grind. The Temple of Solomon is just so exhausting to find your way around. There's a six-section outer level, there's two separate inner-levels that aren't connected, there's an underground cannal system that doubles in size after you drain it, it's justaSAHAAHAEHUERTOEAURGJOIJ AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!1
Good game though, glad I played it.
I guess my only issue with the story, which is otherwise perfect, is a single uh... "idea" with the ending. Basically the goddesses who watch over Ys are like "Humans don't need goddesses anymore, you'll do fine on your own :) " which is a very Japanese thing, but *in the story* they uh... definitely need goddesses lmao.
Because I'm religious, it's in my nature to simp for gods and goddesses in fiction: I rekindled the flame in Dark Souls and I maintain it's the right decision. And I'm right.
And I'm right here too.
Like you--Adol-- were only able to save the world with the blessings of the two goddesses. Basically, the uh... the devil lmao, his name is DARM, and he uh... how do I put this... silver is... silver is evil lol and uh, when it was mined, he uh... and then uh... they sealed him away... and he came back when... more silver ...
it doesn't matter lmao, the point is he's the cause of ALL EVIL in Ys and you LITERALLY could not have defeated Darm without the power of the goddesses. Now granted, they also needed to use Adol, they couldn't *for whatever reason* fight him on their own, but they were still ESSENTIAL in defeating him. And defeating him also uh... got rid of all the magic in the world.
So how does that equal "humans don't need goddesses anymore"? It doesn't. In fact they even say "we'll still watch over the world to make sure magic doesn't return". So they're basically starting a uh... non-intervention policy? *Unless* magic(basically nukes) returns? Why? And what were they doing prior to Darm's return anyway? Were they actively helping people and now they're *not* going to?
It just doesn't make any sense. One of the goddesses even said she "felt" that humans don't need her anymore *DURING* the time that Darm was causing chaos, so it's not even a matter of "magic's gone, evil's gone, you don't need us anymore."
It, chronologically, doesn't make sense.
That's my issue with it.
On top of, obviously, the humanism vibes, which I of course hate. I hate it enough in real life, but in this video game where I literally killed a demon with a sword blessed by goddesses--I watched them bless it--I don't want you to tell me "Tee-hee, humans don't need nuffin from nobody" as if their existence doesn't matter.
That's all, it's very uhh... I'm being a liiiiittle unfair, but you know, it's a very common Japanese sentiment in media, and I never really like it. I'll give the story credit for them still "watching over the world to ensure magic doesn't come back".
And at least they weren't the real final boss lmao
Anyway... that's Ys 1 and 2. I'd almost call them masterpieces, I really think they're great games, I love the world, the lore, the characters, the music, but their END SECTIONS are pure fucking misery, and Ys 1's bosses are fucking ridiculous.
That's all. That's my Ys review-- hey I can use most of this for a new review page, that's great.
Anywaaaaaayyyy... idk, I guess I'll either finish Ys VI or try out Ys VIII. Uhhh... maybe not right away, I might be a little Ysed out rn.
Is there anything else? There always is, but I'll let you go for now. Uhhhhhhhhh... Longbottom later, I forgot to write one yesterday. idk what's even going on... okay, Goyle's in love, and Isabel just killed Bellatrix. Got it.
I'll ttyl, pls take care of yourself aaaaand have a warm day. God bless, fren
11/18 Longbloggom
Hey fren, I hope you're well today.
Uhhh... how about... we do some updates... we check some of my REMINDERS... aaaand... quick UFC recap? aaaaand... maybe we write a Longbottom together?
I'll try not to make it TOO boring.
Let'sseee... Muh All Caps beanies came in. UPS LOST it, so they sent me another one. Four beanies, for $30. You believe that? Oy vey whadduh deal! They're comfy too. Truly blessed.
I actually zoomed through Ys I on the DS, just on Very Easy to reward myself for suffering through it on PC. It's... kinda better on the DS. So much so that I actually started Ys II on it and got up to where I was on the PC version, and I think I'll just continue on the DS. You get a maaaap, the menuing is a little more fun, instead of the bump-combat, you just press to swing your sword normally, and that's pretty neat. Idk which translation is better, but I've enjoyed the DS one so far. Actually I didn't remember to check for the Harry Potter references. If the DS doesn't have them, it's the superior version. Sry, I love Harry Potter as much as the next guy who writes insane Harry Potter fanfiction, but I don't need some LOCALIZER replacing original content with fucking irrelevant references. I get the impression that a lot of English localizers think they're good writers. And that's a problem, because they're not. Even if they were, I'd still prefer errmmm, just the translation prease :) I bought this Japanese game for the Japanese writer's words, not yours.
Ok ok let's move on... cross off some reminders herreee...
"no-one gives a fuck about celebrities"... eh. New article idea. idk how much I care though, it's a little too negative. I can... make it positive I guess...
"looking at PS2 games, recognized the cover art of a 20 year old visual novel from a hentai artist." okay, I definitely already wrote about that, let's cross that off...
"🦑 something neato 🦑 https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/nosfero-the-crypt-walker-the-art-2nd-edition" oh, that's a new comic book I'm backing. It looks really cool--it's hand-painted, isn't that neat? The artist is a cool guy, too. I'll link it... here I just wanted to share that. I'll cross that off noww...
"Amazon Basics Multitool vs Leatherman Wingman" lmao that's going into the story. I'll try to add it today so I can cross it off.
"Mirko is a fit dark-skinned bunnygirl from My Hero Academia. But Mirko Cro Cop is a retired MMA fighter, regarded as one of the best to ever do it." Uhh... idk, I guess that's just some fun trivia for you.
Okay, that's enough reminders. What's next?
FIGHTS. I'll just go over a few of them, it wasn't uh... that interesting.
Jim Miller got a guillotine and retired Damon Jackson, adding to his record of most-wins in the UFC. That's pretty neat, right? Jim's like, what 100 years old. It sucked seeing him lose to Bobby Green last time, but hey, he's back. Still ancient, still fighting.
Okay, Martinez vs McGhee sucked. First 2 rounds, Martinez wasn't throwing anything. At all. The entire fight, I had the impression that he was better than McGhee-- and when he finally decided to start throwing punches, he won the 3rd round. But ffs he. wasn't. throwing. anything. People are acting like it was a McGhee masterclass. But uh, I didn't see it at all. Martinez just didn't want to win for some reason, so he made McGhee look like a hurricane of strikes. But Martinez's defense was also pretty good. He just. wasn't. throwing. anything. When he finally decided to kick McGhee's legs out from under him, it was too late. Uhhhh... idk. SAD.
What else... I don't care about like anyyy of these... Bo Nickal lmao. Bo Nickal decided to not use his greatest weapon, wrestling. He decided to test his striking. And he won round 1, and then he won round 2, and then he won round 3, against a much taller, longer man. Everyone hated it, because Bo was veeeeeery low output. I loved it, it kept me paying attention. He hurt Craig baaaaaaad in the ...2nd or 3rd, idr, but he didn't try to finish. I love Bo Nickal lmfao because ufc fans hate him, and they're all gay retards with goldfish brains who can't bear a little slower-paced fight. And he's just totally shameless about it, he doesn't care at all that everyone hated it hahahrahuahahah I LOVE BO NICKAL.
okay.uhh... Oliveira did great. 50-45? Got dropped and almost got finished in the 3rd because he's like... so fragile now, but he got back up, even though Chandler hit him in the back of the head a dozen times. Uhh... Chandler's so fucking tiny looking. Idk how Charles could ever hope to beat Islam if Chandler gave him problems. Sure, he dominantly won, but right to the end, Chandler could have thrown a big goofy goober punch and sent Olives down. HOW CAN HE COPE WITH ISLAM, WHO IS TWICE CHANDLER'S SIZE? Great fight though, Charles looked great.
FINALLY...
I love Jon Jones lmao. I don't CARE that his career is built on lies, because after he KO's Stipe with a body kick in r3, he does the the Never Come Down Trump dance, credits Christ, says he's proud to be a Christian American, and gets Madison Square Garden chanting "USA USA". I just love him.
Uhhhh... Stipe did way better than the commentary team gave him credit for. Survived a BRUTAL r1 on the ground, and went on to catch Jones a few times, but Jones is verrrrry defensively responsible, he always was able to disengage when he was in trouble. And Stipe was just toooo slow. Still, according to one judge(who was correct) Stipe took r2. Uhh... it's good that he retired though, he's just too flat-footed and slow now.
That's everything, right? Oh, Trump, RFK Jr and Elon all showed up and got a standing ovation, so that was cool. UFC fans and fighters overwhelmingly support him, apparently even in New York. Often forgotten is that there may not even be a UFC today if it wasn't for Trump helping them in the beginning, three decades ago.
Aaaaaanyway... wanna write a Longbottom? lol. Where did we leave off...
okay Harry just found out that Neville escaped from prison, that's easy. Something I forgot last time though, was that Chen was going to be arrested by the UK police. That's easy to sort out. First, let's check on Neville...
"Women of the world..." HP Longbottom spoke solemnly into his phone, making a vid for his TikHog. "I... have no words... Men... have failed you... White people... have failed you... America... *sigh* has failed you. I know that you're angery. I know that you're scared. I know that you feel that there's nothing to live for anymore. BUT DO. NOT. GIVE. IN. TO. FEAR. REMEMBER. what Dune says. Fear is the mind killer. They WANT you to be afraid. What they DON'T want, is for you to be organized and united. They FEAR your strength, they FEAR your Voice. SCREAM into the sky that you WILL NOT GIVE IN TO HAAAATEEEEE!!!!!!!" ........
"Now... America chose Fascist Dictator Donald Trump as their President, despite his promise to genocide and deport all lgbtqp+ people of color. Somehow, Blump used his Russian connections to erase 20 million votes that President Biden fairly got in the previous election, in a clear hostile takeover of the government. That's where we're at. Take time to grieve, to process this. Meditate. Have a mug of hot cocoa. Binge your favorite Netflix show. Anything you need to soothe and to remind yourself that you ARE worth it. Because things are going to get... SO much worse from here... call your black and brown-bodied friends. CRY with them. LISTEN to them scream, LISTEN to their anger. Now is the time for you to BE THERE for them.
You're probably also aware that Chen Potter, the well-known White Supremacist fascist dictator of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, was charged and convicted of hate crimes and human trafficking in the UK for systematically replacing all of the "undesirable" students of Hogwarts with Asian vagina-havers. Of course this week he was was illegally rescued from Justice by the intervention of Fascist Dictator Donald Trump..."
"We will NOT allow Chen Potter to get away with replacing the original population of Hogwarts with these new migrants. Such an intentional act is HORRIFYING and EVIL. NOW is the time for us to ORGANIZE. If you see a fellow resister wearing a blue bracelet, it means they ALSO refuse to surrender their right to safe abortions and gender-affirming care. TALK. TO. THEM. Schedule meet ups. Start book clubs. ARM yourselves... because I PROMISE you... they're going to start burning books."
"Hey Harry, what are you burning?" asked Mizuki, walking over to the fire pit.
Harry turned to greet Mizuki and Malfoy. "Ah, just some creepy psuedoscience book about changing your gender. Muggles actually believe you can do it without magic. I found it in the Forbidden Section of the library, but I figure why not clear up some space for books that won't teach a person to irreparably ruin their life by being pumped with unnatural hormones and eviscerating their genitals in a nightmarish plastic surgery so they can attempt to live a lie that no-one around them will ever even believe?"
"Uh yeah, there's probably better books," said Malfoy, opening a candy bar for Mizuki that she couldn't open.
Harry tossed "'The Fallacy of Female' by Doctor("Doctor") Etan Lipschitz into the fire and took a seat. It was starting to get cold at Hogwarts. Fall was coming to an end.
"Harry, I know you've been stressed out that Neville hasn't been captured yet," started Malfoy.
"He keeps making those stupid fucking TikHog videos, and someone always shares them with me," grumbled Harry.
"I know Harry, but he's not having a good time, I assure you. My Slytherin Stormtroopers have chased him out of eleven different countries already."
"He's just too fast to catch, isn't he?" sighed Harry.
Draco nodded. "We need to lure him to us, it's the easiest way."
"And he too afraid of returning here, now that Rei's back," Harry went on.
"We can't send Rei away without sending Ron too," said Draco.
"No, I wasn't thinking that," assured Harry. "She deserves a normal semester after all she's been through. Ron as well."
"Where are they anyway?" asked Mizuki.
"In Ron's room," said Harry, watching the fire.
"Ah."
"That reminds me," Harry said, getting up and stretching. "You see Cho anywhere?"
Malfoy looked away.
"What?"
"Harry..."
"What is it!" Harry grabbed him.
Malfoy sighed. "Cho told us to tell you that she's not seeing you until you pass your College N.E.W.T.s"
Harry started running toward the castle.
Chen was watching Harry sprinting across the campus in his Ring Crystal Ball Security system.
"Why is my dad like this?" Chen asked.
Grandpa Snape tousled Chen's hair. "One day you'll meet a girl who you'll want to run around for."
Chen lit a cigar. "I hope that day never comes. Let's get down to business, grandfather."
Tactician Snape spread out the war map.
"Thoughts?"
Chen looked closely. "Yeah, we're fine. Except for the basement still."
"The construction team won't be ready for another week."
"What's the latest from the quarantine team?"
"The Moon Prescence's Naked Thralls are still attacking relentlessly. But our boys are doing fine."
Chen put out his cigar. "Fine isn't good enough. Send in the Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor."
"INCEEEEEEEEEELLLLLL!!!!" screamed Naked Bellatrix Lestrange, running at Jack, who'd unfortunately drawn a short straw to be part of the quarantine team. Her old lady hag tits flopped freely and unburdened by what has been.
Jack, effectively a helpless girl, cried out and cowered in the fetal position as Naked Bellatrix closed in on him.
The image of a fetus enraged Naked Bellatrix and increased her bloodlust even more. She drew a an Amazon Basics multitool from her ... hair. And she flipped the knife out of it.
But then! Naked Bellatrix's hand disappeared!
"AAAAAEEEEIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE FUUUUUUCKIIIIING NAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSS" Naked Bellatrix howled.
Who else had come to Jack's rescue but Isabel, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor!
When Bellatrix turned to fight back, the knife from Isabel's Leatherman Wingman found its mark, sending Naked Bellatrix crashing to the ground.
Serious Black walked over in his wolf form, lifted his leg, and peed on her corpse. Not to mark his territory, that's disgusting. But merely to disrespect her.
Isabel helped Jack to his feet and handed him his gun. "Think you dropped this."
Jack rubbed his head, embarrassed. "Y-yeah professor, sorry... thank you for saving my life."
Isabel smiled. "Just Isabel, please." She turned to Serious.
"Mr. Black..."
Serious smiled. "Just Serious, please lol."
"Serious, where's the rest of the team?"
"At hallway B-4, we're going to make camp there, the ground is relatively solid."
"Excellent." Isabel lit a match and dropped it on Naked Bellatrix's remains. She turned to Jack. "Remember: Always burn the bodies."
"L-like in The Evil Within?" asked Jack.
"Yeah, or Resident Evil. You know, Evil Within was heavily inspired by..."
As Goyle, another member of the quarantine team, overheard Isabel talking about video games from the other room, he was terrified to realize that he had fallen in love with her.
.

OKAY, that's a loooooong post. Was it Goyle who ... who does Crabbe have, Khaliun? I'm always getting them mixedup.
right. I'llllllll ttyl, right?. pls take care of yourself and have a comfy day. God bless, fren
11/16 He's a great fightah, I'd love tah fiight 'im
Hey fren, I hope you're well today.
I can't focus too well rn, there's some great fights tonight.
Unlike last night, amirite?
Did you catch Mike Tyson and Jake Paul? You didn't miss much. I feel bad for everyone who thought Mike Tyson was going to literally-murder Paul. I don't love Mike Tyson, I'm not THAT old, but I felt bad for him.
The guy's 58 years old. That's for starters. That's, imho, the smallest issue.
Another issue? Apparently his leg was fucked up. For him, that's "not an excuse", but the reality islmao if your movement is compromised in boxing, that's a problem.
But the REAL issue, I think?
A few months ago, he was hospitalized for an ulcer that made him vomit blood and "shit tar". Guy lost half his blood, lost 25lb, needed blood transfusions.
That was THIS YEAR.
I had an ulcer uh, 2 years ago. And I'm STILL recovering from it. And I wasn't hospitalized, I never vomited blood, and I only lost 11lb, not 25. I'm still fucked up over it. I can't work out hard, my cardio's gone to shit. I'm baaaaaarely feeling better after 2 years. Mike Tyson'slmao he's been recovering for less than 1/2 of a 1 year.
So that's my cope for Mike Tyson. I don't really care about either fighter too much. Obviously the age thing was a built-in "this fight is a retarded mismatch", but uhhh... a lot of people still thought Tyson was "THE BADDEST MAN ON THE PLANET". And he did look really good in the first round, won it, and narrowly won 2 as well. But then, he uh, idk. All I can say, as someone who is closer to Jake Paul in age than Mike, I was an ELITE ATHLETE a few years ago, my tummy started hurting, and now I'mlmao I'm still trying and praying I can get better. I can't imagine getting into a fucking boxing match rn.
So uh, props to Mike. Paul was a gracious winner too. Uhh... you know, boring fight though lol. The women's match before them was more interesting. And it was-- kinda a robbery but the exceedingly rare kind where I'm glad it was a robbery because the ref was a faggot and deducted a point from the winner for no reason so hahahahaha fucka yooooou.
Anything eeeeelse? Yeah, UFC tonight. Are you excited? Are ya gonna watch with me? JON "BONES" JONES, THE ... guy who lost to Dominic Reyes, and never fought a well-rounded man who was younger or bigger than him, vs Old Man Stipe for the Fake Heavyweight Championship as the True Heavyweight Champion Tom Aspinall watches from the crowd, wondering "What's the point of this? Neither of them are going to fight me."
But I think the card is really underrated. Oliveria vs Chandler! I'm worried for Olives though, I was getting like... "lazy" vibes from him in his last fight against Arman. He seemed way too comfy on his back, slowly losing. He beat Chandler before but maybe THIS "Iron Mike" will put on a better show.
BO. NICKAL. everyone hates him but I love him. I'm riding the hype train. Paul Craig sucks so bad, but he can lmao he can just randomly beat anyone. He SOMEHOW submitted Nikita Krylov, who's like... one of the best grapplers in the division. He SOMEHOW KO'd Jamahal Hill the knockout artist lmao, which was Hill's only loss until Pereira. And he SOMEHOW submitted Ankalaev 6 years ago, who's the #1 contender rn and hasn't lost since. He can do anything. But he still sucks.
Uhhhhhh... idk, it's a good caaaahd, there's some more good fights too. Very underrated but uh, idk I can't focus. Brain no work so good. People complain about fighters getting CTE meanwhile I can't even write a blog post.
I'm gonna go. Uhh-- oh, I started Ys 2 and it's really neato. A little too cryptic like the first game, but it's still reallyyy neato. See this demon in the screenshot? After he said this, I turned back into a human and killed him. :')
The introduction of magic is cool aaaand the diagonal attacks make it ... something. It's... fun. Anyway. I'lllllllll... tttyllllll.............
take care pls, have a warm day. God bless fren
11/15 Dark Ask
The following is a post I wrote because I couldn't beat the final boss in Ys 1. I beat him just now, but I already wrote this solmao, I'll see you at the end of it:
Dark Fact is the worst boss I can ever remember, I'm not having fun anymore.
Other than that, Ys was good. But Dark Fact is so ass-fuckingly difficult, I can't go on.
Oh, hey, Iiii... hope you're having a good one.
Me? I'm a little sad because Dark Fact raped me over a dozen times and I just can't do anything about it. I was simultaneously playing Ys VI though, which I'm really enjoying, and where I *haven't* yet been made into a woman by a boss I can't beat.
Apparently DARK FACT (it hurts more because I love that name) is considered one of the hardest bosses in the series, so *that* makes me feel better. Because I really don't think I can be fucked to beat him at this point, it's such a bullshit fight lol. And there's just nothing I can do, I'm max level, I've got muh silver equipment, I just have to dodge a screen full of projectiles as the floor collapses and simultaneously try to damage him.
I can't remember a game giving me the business like this since Touhou...... 8, I think. And at least I got *one* of the endings. I'll never be a great Touhou player, but at least I was able to *finish* one. DARK FACT is standing in my way for Ys, what a fucking asshole. It's like, because I can't beat him, the entire game is just ruined because I can't even say I beat it lmao. Which saps my enthuiasm for the series, like *I won't be comfortable* until I beat a Ys game, and Dark Fact basically just told me "You can't". And btw-- it was a really, really great game. Up to Dark Fact. The towns are great, the characters are great, the music is great, the items are really cool, they've got great art and loooore, it's interesting, it's a little too cryptic sometimes in that way that old games were, to the point where you probably need a guide, but it's goooooood. No, it's GREAT.
And then along comes DARK FACT.
Fuck him. Anyway, I'llllll... continue VI though. Ark of... Napishtim. Apparently mid-level difficulty. I lmao I'm really in a CRISIS rn, I have no enthusiasm.
"What if the next boss is like Dark Fact?" is now going to be at the back of my mind forever. You know, there's a kiiiiinda similar boss in Napishtim, who destroys the floor too. The difference is there isn't a bottomless pit under it. Aaaand you can carry a few health items with you. Aaaaaaaand you can level up, aaaaaaaaaaand you can strengthen your sword, aaaaaaaaaaand-- that's the beauty of most rpgs, right? Leveling up a bit so you don't have to play perfectly and never get it (it is absolutely fucking impossible to beat Dark Fact without getting hit, even this video I'm watching rn is tool-assisted and gets hit, in the ORIGINAL from the 80s though, it was possible)
...
...
...
Hey, it's me again. Even if it's LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE to beat Dark Fact without getting hit, there was still something I was doing wrong-- you do a bit more damage to him if you attack his dick instead of his head. It's juuuuust enough, and after another half-dozen tries, I got him.
The relief this gives me? A lot. I beat the hardest boss and game in the series, right? Basically the rest of my entire life is going to be a cakewalk now.
I'll keep playing VI, then uhhh-- I miiiiiight skip VII and play VIII, because everyone loves it.
Anything else? Digimon? I think I might have FUCKED up and my Craniamon X is STUCK.Sucks, right? What can I do? I can't RESET, that'll get rid of my precious Sistermon Ciel.
Did you know Ciel was created as a reskin of Noir for the U.S. because Noir looks too much like a nun?
There's nothing more offensive to the United States than a nun. Not only is she not having sex, but even if she did and got pregnant, she wouldn't kill the baby. Unforgivable.
BUT, the good thing is that both Sistermon Noir and Sistermon Ciel are both canon now. Isn't that great? Of course Noir's not in the U.S. version of the games though. But uh, Ciel is. And she's still wearing a habit and called "sister", so.
Anyway, I beat Dark Fact so I deserve to relax now, I'm gooonnaaa goooooo... I'llllll. ttyl, right? pls take care of yourself and have a comfy day, God bless fren
11/07 I don't sleep enough
Hey hey. Hope you're well, fren.
Me? I'm... not bad atm. Let's see... let's write a Longbottom together.
First, let's clear some of my reminders, okay? What do we have here...
"Cyber frog, Cyber Sleuths, Cyber Tomboy" I guess I was going to comment on "cyber" things lol. What do you think about CyberTomboy?
"Ender Lilies + Dante's Inferno/GOW on index" Zzzzzz I have to update my index. Lemme do that rn... Even though I didn't even do a great job on the GOW review. What was I going to do with Ender Li-- oh I don't even have that review listed ffs. Who would have thought it'd be such a paaaaaain to have a website. It's a good pain though, right?... there. I also changed some of the links to give more than just the name of the game. I think they're a little more compelling now. What's next...
"Bantu" lmao. It's a character from Fire Emblem. I'm also pretty sure it's a racial slur, as well as an actual group of people. Lemme checkkk... kinda. It's more complicated than I care to talk about. I remember it because one of Nick Fuentes's frens... uhhh... fuck I can't remember his name... Tenryo. Le based black guy, genuinely a cool guy. He got called "Bantu" by some wignat on X lmao that's why I remember. I miss following Nick's fans on X. I absolutely do-not want to make an account, but the Groypers were so funny and energetic. There's a certain group of his fans that are like, younger anime fans, and they're just absolutely vicious. I loved seeing those guys, probably early twenties, just swarming on 40yo wignats, making fun of them with Spongebob references, telling them they're going to rape themlmfao, and all their victims could do was weakly mutter "I-incel..." THEY WERE FUN.
Okay okay, enough reminiscing. I'm never going to get through these... Uhhh... "Arizona bark scorpion"... is that a story idea? Probably. I'm not going to use that, even though I should. What else...
"Hocus Pocus script". Ah, I wanted... to just hold down the fire key instead of ... having to constantly press it. Zzzzzzzzzzz Idk, I couldn't get it working. I have one that works for Diablo *mouse* clicks, but I can't get a KEY press to keep goingZzzzzzzz whateverrr what ELSE...
"Moon Archive, Harry teaches girls lmao" Okay, the Blue Archive arc. Didn't really use Harry, but I'm glad I already usssed it...ok ok
"landing investment shots to the body" this sounds really familiar. I was supposed to use this months ago and I never did. What's wrong with me.
"She Loves You" - I wanted to write a paaaaage about the Beatles song, which is a uniquely-good love song. But... I'm so tired...
I need a nap. I can't believe I've written so much already.
...
I took a nap. It was a little longer than it should have been. We don't have time to write a Longbottom together anymore, I'm sorry. I'll write one on my own though, and you can let me know if I did a bad job.
I'll ttyl, pls take care of yourself and have a relaxing day. God bless, fren.
11/06 The Return of the King
Hey fren, hope you're well today.
Blackpillers on EXTRA suicide watch today.
Uhhhhh, idk how do you feel? I feel pretty good.
The President-in-Exile is returning.
CNN's blaming it on White womenlol. RARE White woman W.
Actually instead of talking about POLITICS though, telling you stuff you ALREADY KNOW, how about-- Digimon?
In Cybersleuths you get gifted like, idk 5 or 6 of the strongest Digimon. I thiiiiink because it was originally on the PS4 and Vita... idk. Know what I mean? They're like "Here, retard, take some Mega holy warriors since you JUST got this old-ass game."
I really like it. You find a spooky ghost girl, but it ends up being a Digimon who'd been stuck inside an old computer in the WALLS of the uh-- building you're in, and he just disguised himself as an old idol because he THOUGHT SHE WAS CUTE and it'd make people more likely to help him-- but it's like extra COOL because the computer wasn't connected to the Internet, right? The images were saved either locally or somewhere on the uhh...InTRAnet that he had access to, which controlled all the ACs in the building-- so he was just using the limited resources he had access to. It's not like he was ME and he could just find a million pictures of Azn girls to lure you to read his blog. Okay I'm like, I'm a little tired. My brain's a little fried. I'm just saying, it was a cool little mystery that had a semi-spooky vibe to it.
Uhh what else... there was some --person-- who was complaining about having to choose between the 2 genders in some dating app, and so ...they... were hacking people's accounts to REBEL against an "unjust system"(reality). That was pretty cringe, but you got to beat them up. Or, beat up their Digimon. So, at least there's that. During the beating, I yelled "THIS IS CYBER-TRUMP COUNTRY" and then I fashioned a digital noose andzzzzzzzzzz
Anyway, it's just... fun. And it's soooo easy to Digivolve, like I've gotten idk, it feels like sooooo many, and it's uh... idk, it just feels really cool. If I were to compare it to Pokemon, it wouldn't be as significant feeling though, and I-- actually I can't compare it to Pokemon, I just can't. But it's good.
I'm so exhausted, I feel like I've been awake for eternity.
I'm gonn-- am I forgetting anything? Probably, but . im tired. I'm gonna try to sleepZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz WHAT A BAD POST, im gonna go, ill ttyl.
pls take care of yourself, aaandd have a warm day.
God bless, fren
11/05 everything's fine
Heyhey.
Hope you're well today, fren.
Cybersleuths is pretty great. Hooky spooky mysterious Digimon story. You know, "A-are these the 'Digimon' programs that hackers use?!" You're in EDEN, a uh... VR-world. You meet a mysterious femboy hacker literally referred to in-game as "the white boy", who gives you your first Digimon, you get separated from your body, a sexy detective chick saves you from being arrested for being creepy(you're a bunch of 0s and 1s shaped like a body), and you become her assistant SLEUTH. A CYBER sleuth. There's some mysterious girl who--idk, whatever. It's goodlol. It's all just preddy enjoyable. Like it's uh, it feels like a very wholesome experience. Has a lot of heart. Digimon Survive and Next Order coming too lol.
I managed to stop myself from getting a Digimon uh... fitness bracelet thing. They're really cool but I already have a gorillion watches, there's no way I can possibly justify wearing it. You know, on top of it basically being a toylmao. It'd be cool if it was available as a watch app though. I'm just in a Digimood. But I've got enough now to satisfy myself. I think.
Uh, let's get IndieGoGo out of the way.
A TRUST & SAFETY person responded to my kvetching, apologizing that "a campaign was sending unsolicited emails" and asking for the campaign, despite my original message both stating that it was *IndieGoGo itself* that sent the email and also naming the campaign.
Solmao so I ... repeated myself. A little more clearly. I'll let you know what they say.
The COCK RING CAMPAIGN OWNER, however, also got back to me. She asked me to contact IndieGoGo with questions not related to her company/product. Since my questions were, of course, always related to her company, I was thinking about asking her again: did you request the emails to be sent out?
But then I remembered who I am. I'm Didn't Ask. Do I really need to ask this woman this? Like I said the other night, IT DOESN'T MATTER, they sent the emails no matter what. And I UNDERSTAND that I'm like, ruining this person's day, I know *I* don't like people giving me grief. I have zero respect for this woman and her world but that doesn't mean I should antagonize her. It's wrong of me.
But THEN, just as I decided I wasn't going to bother her anymore, something truly SICK happened:
I got an email from IndieGoGo warning me against posting spam comments lmao.
She'd reported my comments for spam to get them removed from the campaign. On its own, that wouldn't have been so bad but the really insufferable part was the message saying "if you CONTINUE breaking our terms of service, weeeeell,blahblah we'll rape you blahblah, THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING", you know, immediately judging me as guilty and then presumptively thanking me for accepting my guilt.
What's nice about this message though, is it's not like, idk YouTube or something where you can't reply back in a rage. You CAN literally just respond directly under it, so I'm just like "I didn't post a spam comment. Thank you."
Whoever thanks last, wins. I will force them to ban my account before I let them THANK ME for my UNDERSTANDING.
Anyway, since she did that to me I'm like, OK FINE I'll fuck with you just a bit more. So I repeated my question to her in a slightly-new way directly answering her request for only questions related to her company-- "Did *name of her company* request IndieGoGo to send out unsolicited emails advertising your sex product to its site's users?"
Finally, she answered the actual question. No, she did not requst IndieGoGo send out emails. Of course, that might be a dodge--she might have asked for *promotion*, but not specifically emails--but that's thinking too hard about something that doesn't matter whatsoever. Doesn't matter AT ALL. I thanked her and that's that. I don't even care if she reports those new comments as spam too, I don't BLAME her for not wanting my comments on her campaign-- as retarded as her product is. You know, I don't LIKE that she MADE me do that by reporting me for spam. I really understand having a project and not wanting some lunatic in your comments, I get that. But you know what I'd like YOU to get? Some people don't want random emails about vibrating cock rings. How about that? How about a little eMpAtHy for me? Huh, IDIOT? How'd you like it if I sent YOU a message about muh dick? It'd be a better message. UNLIKE your ugly little rubber wrap for skinnyfat weaklings' microdicks when they're allowed out of their chastity cage, MUH dick is POWERFUL. HANDSOME. THICK. LONG. INTELLIGENT. You don't DESERVE to-- okay, enough.
Sooo: if IndieGoGo actually reads *and* understands my message this time and gets back to me, I'll keep you updated.
What am I hoping for?lmao I dunno, nothing. How about a "In the future, it will be less-likely for our customers to receive spam emails promoting cock rings." That's my greatest hope. A future we can look forward to.
Uuup-- they just replied and thanked me, and PROMISED ME that they'll forward my very important feedback to the appropriate teams. Cool. I want everyone on the marketing team to know that they did a bad job, and I want them to complain on social media to their circle of "sex-positive" cumbrain comrades that they had to deal with a COMPLAINT. I bet they'll call me an incel. "Yikes, some incel complained that we promoted a female-creator's innovative new sex toy! Yikes!!" Even though I've already had more sex than they will in their entire miserable lives and I've never had to wear a fucking vibrating cock ring to satisfy a woman or myself, I'm the incel. An incel might as well be "any man with a shred of dignity", I have NEVER liked all the shit they get from the most vile men and women in society. My friend--who was an incel, but didn't really identify as one--used to send me stupid memes from pages making fun of(*complaining about) them, just because he knew I hated it, and idk maybe it made him feel better when I'd shit on the memes lol. I'm getting off track here, I'm sorry. Uh... a bit more, lemme cook.
That woman, no offense, studied "sex" in college. Like, what a complete fucking retard. No offense. I'm tired of These People pretending that sex is like rocket science. Maybe it sounds counterintuitive, but if your entire fucking existence revolves around sex, you actually get worse at it. Because you're desensitized, it's more difficult for you to be aroused, so it's worse for you, and by extension, necessarily worse for anyone unfortunate to be in bed with you who now has to cope with you having less energy, having to work harder to satisfy YOU, and you wanting to do weird shit (granted, unless they're as broken as you are) and needing them to do weird shit with you. Whereas healthy people need, what? Their mouths for kissing and biting, and their genitals for being kissed. They don't need uh, elaborate pulley systems and whips, because they haven't fried themselves. And because sex *isn't* rocket science, once you've done it, you're basically done "learning" it. Ideally that was your wedding night, but I can't uh-- I'm not any better than you if not. But don't go overboard no matter what. There isn't a WORLD of difference in """skill""" between a virgin and a whore or man-whore, no matter what the whores would have you believe, it doesn't take like 160 IQ to learn how to move your hips well. Some people even have natural rhythm.
Anyway, besides the sin(reason enough to abstain from this "lifestyle"), anyone who needs a vibrating cock ring is worse in bed than the most kissless virgin, if for no other reason than they're more annoying with all their self-inflicted handicaps and needs.
Sorry, I got a little carried awaylmao I got carried away getting mad at likke, imaginary employees... What was I talking about... I'm a little out of it. I have to vote later... wanna write an HP Longbottom with me real quick? A battle at Hogwarts?
Let's see. We need combatants. Hagrid's always fun. All the students are there. Chen's busy with the cops, though, unless he "resists arrest".
It's really the best time to unveil the new Defenseagainstthedarkarts teacher. Uhhhhhh, what do you think? Let's go with the Filipina as a nod to our local tomboy. So what name was she going to have... Isabel. Okay. Anything else... lmfao okay, SHE'LL have the ka-bar knife, that's perfect.
I love fight scenes, because they're the easiest to make goofy. You can just namedrop weapons, come up with wild explanations of where they came from, it's all just silly fun. Let's see...
Peter Pettigrew rose like a mummy. But instead of being wrapped in bandages, he was naked. "It's Naked Peter Pettigrew!" growled Ron, snapping out of his suicidal mood. "Draco, let's go!" Draco pushed Mizuki to the other side of Crabbe's bed as Crabbe yoinked Khaliun, and pulled her over it as well. Crabbe flipped the table to provide cover. "Madam Pomfrey! GUN!" he yelled over to her office. A pink Glock 43 came flying out, and Crabbe caught it in the air. As Cho continued stabbing the everloving shit out of Naked Peter Pettigrew, who refused to die, Ron and Malfoy were barricading the door with beds. More were coming. "LITTLE PIGS, LITTLE PIGS," huffed Naked Lupin. "LET. ME. IIIIIIN!" he puffed. Naked Lupin blew as hard as he could, but the bed barricade held. "Die already!" Cho screamed, having carved Naked Peter Pettigrew's face like a rat-o-lantern. But he gargled and spat up a swarm of tentacles at her. Cho fell backwards, conveniently giving Crabbe a shot. He pink mag dumped into Peter Tentacle's face. It severed the majority of the tentacles, and Cho jumped back on top of him and began stabbing away once more. " "Let me in, boys," pleaded Naked Lupin. "I can help you :) I'm sorry for all the misunderstandings we've had." "What?" asked Draco. "You know, you guys never gave me a chance to explain myself. I really never did anything wrong. I'm not saying you did either, you didn't really KNOW I was a good guy, but I want to just clear the air I guess, I'm not mad that you guys killed me," Naked Lupin gaslit. "That's not going to work on us, Lupin," said Ron. "We're your fellow males." "Cho?" called Naked Lupin. "Don't talk to her," growled Malfoy. "Cho, can you help them understand, I mean no harm?" Cho froze for a second, Ron's knife and her own tanto in both of Naked Pettigrew's naked eye sockets. She shook her head clear and told Naked Lupin to go fuck himself. "Boys..." Naked Lupin said sadly, turning his attention back to the bois. "Lupin get out of here or we'll be forced to kill you," said Ron. "Oh, we all know you don't have the SUN POWER necessary to do that anymore, Ronald. Not without your precious Miss Jeong." Ron's face flushed and he turned away from Malfoy. "Ron?" Malfoy whispered. "He's right, Draco... without her... I'm..." "That's right!" laughed Naked Lupin. "Now just let me in, and I can help yo--ACK! AAAAAGUUUUGUUUU!!" A thump. And then a gentle knock. "Hello. My name is Isabel, I'm your new Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher. I killed this naked guy. Are you OK in there?" Ron and Draco looked at each other, nodded, and pulled the beds away. They opened the door, and there she was. Chen had recruited another cute Azn girl. Their new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher was a head shorter than either of them, but she was holding a KA-BAR knife drenched in blood, with a stupid naked werewolf lying at her feet, evidence of her expertise. ButWAIT Draco and Ron gasped, alerting Isabel to danger behind her. I didn't even HEAR him, she thought. She ducked and spun around. There he was in all of his loose-skinned horribleness. Naked Dumbledore. And he was wielding a Fiskars machete in his right hand. In his left hand, his middle finger was proudly pointed up at her. "Hello my dear, I'm afraid there's been some confusion. You see, *I* am the Headmaster of this school, and, quite simply, I am not hiring any new professors." Isabel assumed a fighting stance. "Although..." Naked Dumbledore licked his lips. "I'd be happy to consider an application to be a student... under my personal tutilege..." Isabel lunged out at him with her Ka-Bar, but Naked Dumbledore nakedly batted it away with such force that it got stuck in the ceiling. He looked up at it. "Admirable, you keep your weapon shaaaaaarp," he sang. "Unfooooortunately, a sharp weapon cannot saaaave you from meeeee--YAAACK. AAAKKKGKGKK!" Isabel had a spidersilk thread ti--
im so EXHAUSTED, im going to sleeplol. i guess she brings the knife down on him. ill ttyl, k? Pls take care of yourself, and have a relaaaaaxing day. God bless, fren.
11/03 the easy way out
Taking the easy way out this time. I hope you don't recognize her.
Hey fren, I hope you're well today. I kinda wanna bloooooog today, but blogging's also kinda lazy, so, wanna write a chapter of HP Longbottom with me?
You do? Thanks, I could really use your help. Let's see...
We left off Chen being arrested for human trafficking. Why? Idk yet. Maybe the students that China was helping him recruit from all across East Asia were actually TAKEN by China. How about that? Did China set Chen up on purpose though? Probably not.
What else... idk what to do with the Bolge Girl yet. She'll be the new defenseagainstthedarkarts teacher, but idk anything about her. I've picked out 2 names for her, Su-Wei if she's Taiwanese or Isabel if she's Filipina.
Su-Wei means virtuous and beautiful, Isabel means "God is my oath", both good names for her character: They met her with the Sowers of Discord, and immediately Crabbe and Goyle started becoming distanced. But when they asked who she was, it spooked her. She doesn't WANT to be a sower of discord. But how'd she end up there? Is someone trying to break up Crabbe and Goyle? Yes, obviously. Obviously. yes. idk what to do with her yet, though. I'm still working out Khaliun as kind of shy but strong. Mizuki's not shy at all, but just a little quiet. But they need moaaar development, I really jumped into Bolge Girl.
Well anyway, since we left OFF on Chen, we can't pick up with him. We should start as far away as possible. So either with Neville or wiiiiith... Ron. We're probably due for some Ron time. He'll still be depressed because Rei's gone. Easy, we'll make him a doomer. Okay, how about this?
There was a knock on Ron's door. "Rooon, I'm respecting your privacy by knocking but asserting my authority as your suicide-watch by coming in anywaaaaaay."
Cho entered without waiting for a response.
Ron was lying face-up in bed, face cold from dried tears. Duvet by Bôa was playing from his phone.
"Ron, I brought you some tea and biscuits."
Ron turned and looked up at her bleakly, but he didn't have the will to lift his head from the pillow. Instead he rolled his face into it.
"Let me die, Cho."
Cho placed the tray down on his bedside table. "Ron, you might be happy to know that Harry saw Rei today."
Ron jumped out of bed.
"What! What do you mean? Where? Where is she?"
"Uh..."
"Cho, WHERE is she?"
Cho looked down. "I don't really... she's at the... End of the World."
Ron fell back down. "Oh more of this bullshit."
Cho rubbed his shoulder. "But he DID see her, Ron! She's safe!"
As much as he wanted to remain miserable, knowing that she was at least safe forced a sad smile on Ron's face. It was something.
"Thanks, Cho."
SUDDENLY, Hagrid kicked the door down. "CHO! RON! HOGWARTS IS UNDER ATTACK!"
So now I can leave these guys alone for a while. Where are we jumping to? Chen or Harry's fine. Chen's in a tougher situation to write, but Harry's scene demands me to make my decision on Bolge Girl's ethnicity, which I'm not sure I'm ready to do.
Lemme check on my Digimon... you know what's frustratiing? lmao idk if I got too many "care mistakes" for one of them, so they might be stuck. And I don't remember how long I have to wait until they *would* evolve. So idk if I'm basically just wasting time and he's eternally stunted. And I don't reeeeeeally wanna reset because it's the 20th, where you have 2 mon at once, and the *other* one is a purrrrrfect BlitzGreymon, a-- WAIT A SECOND :O there's still hope... okay, as long as I didn't have more than 4 mistakes. I don't remember. At all. BUT... worst-case scenario, I know it's 48 hours now.
I think I can survive being uncertain of my Digimon's development for 48 hours, I've survived a bit worse in life.
I can't use my Digimon X rn, because the beeps from the battles torture my dog lmao. She's sleeping on my bed rn and if I start bing bing wahooing with those little high-pitched beeps, she's going to jump up and look at me like "I didn't know you hated me". But the Digimon X is really cool because there's an XP system, so there's a purpose for the battles. Really neato. Plus, come on, you can get a Sistermon in 1 day.
I wonder who's attacking Hogwarts... probably the Moon Presence. I'll resurrect Lupin. Also, I'm 1000% going to do something with Aidos, Khaliun's eagle. You know what his name means? "Friend of the Moon". So, he's absolutely going to have a cuck-rage arc. I actually wrote a similarlmao I wrote -- in my Kingdom Hearts fanfic, which you'll never read, the parrot from Aladdin, Iago, betrays the Incel Shuffle Alliance--an elite team of warriors who protect the Disney Kingdom and the rest of the planet from -- well, nvm. Anyway, Iago's in love with Namine, and because she's only interested in Pete, he betrays them all to the uh... Stromboli, the bad guy from Pinocchio. Stromboli captures them and was going to sell them as sex slaves, but Iago-- oh wait a sec, Iago didn't betray them, he was THINKING about it, but ended up saving them from Stromboli, by alerting Tigger, who came and brutalized Stromboli. But General Grieveous--who was there too--was about to escape anyway, becaus--
okay that's enough of that for now. We're supposed to be writing an HP Longbottom together, sorry.
Crabbe opened his eyes to his worst nightmare.
"Hermione, what are you doing here?" he asked. "Wait, where am I?"
"I'm here to stop you from dying, Crabbe," Hermione said, who was standing in front of a bright light and pointing a gun at him. "Don't move, or I'll shoot."
"Don't shoot, I'm... I don't know where I am."
"Good," said Hermione. "Now just turn around and go back the way you came. Go on, GIT."
"Wha..."
"GIT" Hermione fired a warning Boogie2988-style warning shot over him.
Crabbe turned away from the light and booked it through a veil of darkness.
Almost immediately, he ran past Rei, who startled him with a "Hi, Crabbe!"
He tripped and fell upright in his hospital bed.
"I'm alive."
Khaliun, Mizuki, and Malfoy were sitting around him, smiling.
"Where's Goyle?" Crabbe asked.
"He couldn't make it," Draco said.
"Couldn't make it..." Crabbe muttered, starting to get up. Khaliun put her hand on his chest, having finally found an excuse to do so. It was even harder than she thought and she quickly turned to hide her face.
"Y-you should rest. Madam Pomfrey said you died for a few minutes."
"I did. I think... I saw Hermione."
"Who's Hermione?" asked Mizuki.
"Just some annoying bitch we all hate," said Draco, putting his arm around her shoulder. Mizuki purred and snuggled up against him.
"And Rei, too, I think," Crabbe went on.
"YOU SAW REI?" Ron yelled, rushing in. "WHERE? HOW?" he started shaking Crabbe like the Happy Mask Salesman finding out Link didn't get Majora's Mask.
"I don't KNOW, I died and Hermione and Rei were just... there."
Ron grabbed a knife and prepared to commit a mortal sin.
"Accio knife!" cried Cho, rushing into the room. The knife flew to her. Cho, a master of multi-tasking, ducked under it, and it lodged itself into the head of the man she'd been running from.
"Is that Peter Pettigrew?" asked Draco.
Cho caught her breath. "The castle's under attack."
Okay, that's all for now. Next time, we'll have some fun battles. I wrote "ka-bar full tang" in my notes, so I guess someone's going to be having a knife fight.
for noooooooow: I'm gonna go. I'll ttyl. Pls take care of yourself, aaaand have a relaxing day. God bless, fren.
11/03 IndieGoGo EXPOSED
Hey fren, I hope you're well today.
Me? I'mmmmmm... ok. Uhhh, UFC sucked tonight. Big surprise. Wanna go over th-- no, I won't torture you. It's SICK how bad the judging is, and I'm a little-- well OK, do you mind me torturing you? Let's just go over them real quick:
[no, I CAN'T do this to you, I ended up writing so fucking much]
Lemme move on. So, IndieGoGo isss a crowdfunding website. For whatever, anything. Tech, art, books, any project that needs funding. I back a few ComicsGate books on it.
Recently it sent out emails to people who had their accounts set not to receive promotional emails, promoting a campaign for a fucking vibrating cock ring.
This aggravated me, because, --actually I'll just quote myself 1sec
I don't like receiving unsolicited ads, I really don't like it when I'm already unsubscribed from them, I really really don't like it when they're for retarded sex products for broken degenerate freaks who can't have sex without a bunch of products and equipment, and I really really really don't like it when the product being advertised uses moonbat communist dehumanizing language like referring to men as "penis havers" because 1 out of 1000000 men don't want to accept that they're men.
So I reached out to IndieGoGo wondering why they'd sent out promotional material for a sex product to people who asked not to receive promotional material(no response), and I reached out to the campaign owner for the stupid fucking cock ring asking her if she knew IndieGoGo was sending people unsolicited emails for her retarded sex product, and if she had paid them to promote her campaign or asked them to do it.
Instead of answering my question, she responded that she "knows IndieGoGo is supporting her", but that she did not pay them. So I asked for clarification if she'd asked IndieGoGo to send their users emails advertising her sex product, or if they'd offered to send unsolicited advertisements for sex products on their own. She didn't get back to me, but it doesn't really matter THAT much, right? The bottom line is just that they did it: it's their fault no matter what, I shouldn't take my anger out on her, she's just a poor gross whore with a shitty invention.
Really uh, annoying stuff. After the comics I'm currently backing get released, I'm probably going to close my account. "Fund My Comic" is an alternate I think. EVS has saaaaaid he'd start using it, but that's -- idk, that my only real concern. I want my Cyberfrog. I just would like to not receive emails for stupid fucking cock rings for "PENIS HAVERS".
Penis havers.
Anyway, wanna-- sorry for cursing btw, I just uhhh. I don't like language like that, it's very creepy. It makes me sick to my stomach. And really, isn't it like wildly fucking inappropriate for a business to be sending people cock ring spam email? I just wanted to read some comic books. I don't really WANT to know about your exciting new product that you've invented because sex doesn't feel good for you.
AnywaAAAAAAy. Digimon?
I got a Sistermon Ciel :') Exciting, right? AND my Rhinomon survived the gauntlet I put him through and became a WarGrowlmon X. Pretty cool, he's not just a stupid rhino anymore. I have to likeeee... go through 10 more quest stages though, or I might accidentally screw them both up. I'm mostly-sure I can prevent Sistermon from trooning out into Diaboromon. As for WarGrowlmon X, I think he's basically safe at this point from becoming anything stupi-- I spoke too soon, he can become a MaloMyotismon if I don't finish Area 15. I think I'm close. Also I might have purchased some Digimon games on the Switch because I'm spiraling into digital insanity, and i can't COPE with the real world and its fucking FUCKING cock ring emails for PENIS. HAVERS. i cant LIVE in this world anymore
enough, that's enough. I'm sorry for putting you through this.
I'm gonnaaaaaaaaaaaaa: go. I'll ttyl. Longbottom later.
Pls take care of yourself aaaand. have a relaxing day. God bless,fren
10/29 Hard men create hard mons
Heyhey fren, I hope you're well today.
Me? I'm okay. I'm almost finished with The Sopranos. I've got a lot to say about it but I'm not going to bore you with that right now though, I'll instead bore you with Digimon. [I had to edit this part out to make it less boring]
I was happy to learn that one of the immediate evolutions for the Digimon X is Sistermon Blanc. And you actually get her from neglecting it lol
So hopefully I didn't mess up messing up somehow, and THEN if I don't overtrain muh Sistermon Blanc, she can become a Sistermon Ciel!
Speaking of sisters, because there's absolutely never going to be another relevant time for me to bring this up, Living With Sister: Monochrome Fantasy is on sale on GOG rn, so Ilmao-- judge me, I deserve it. I'm sure it'll be a great story.
You know, I never play games like this. You don't believe me? I promise, I don't have the patience for visual novels, which necessarily means I don't have the patience for visual novels with sex. But maybe this will be the one that gets me into them. This totally innocent story about living with your sickly sister. I probably won't even-- there's a tomboy, okay? Your sister's not even bestgirl. She's like 2 or 3 down the line.
NOW, speaking of visual novels--Isn't it amazing how I'm able to connect this all together?
I was looking at some old PS2 games the other night, and I went into the Japan-only section. There are, of course, a ton of visual novels. But one of them caught my eye. To my great HORROR, I recognized the cover artist's work. From, you know. Hentai. What a small world. That game's probably like 20 years old... yeah, 17 years. It really SURPRISED me, like "Hey, I recognize this art style! I shouldn't, but I do!" I have such a good eye for art, that's what my problem is.
I'm so tired...
Oh so ALSO, Sistermon Ciel can become a Cho-Hakkaimon, which is no-longer a nun, but is a CUTE GIRL in a PIG COSTUME. So, still pretty great. Cho-Hakkaimon can become Beelstarmonx, which is the sexy female version of Beelzebumon, who's a gay nerd. I wouldn't be able to cope with Beelzebumon. Sexy female Beelzebumon is okay. Things get GRIM though, because the only further evolution is Diaboromon X. And there are no "female" stage VI+s on this device period, so.
My Digimon is DOOMED to troon out into a repulsive demon.
My poor Sistermon... she doesn't deserve this. I might be able to halt her at Cho-Hakkaimon or Beelstarmonx. I think I can.
That'd be for the best. You know, I don't NEED a Digimon who's a cute girl, but Diaboromon's like, the lmao he's basically Digital Mutant Satan. Literally ALL of the OTHER Stage VI+s on this device are like, epic holy knights. You know what though, if I have Sistermon Ciel become something else, I can get to one of those other paths. You just can't ALWAYS have a "girl" Digimon, you have to cope with a monster sometimes. A digital monster.
Sometimes, your digital monsters have to actually be monsters instead of cute girls.
Anyway, Sil's one of my favorite characters in The Sopranos. He's always got that mean look on his face, but he's a very calm, rational guy. When he's not losing at cards. Total Greymon energy. You know he's actually married IRL to his onscreen wife here? Isn't that special? They're in their freakin 70s now. God help us all, time never stops.
Okay, I have to go watch Vito get killed for liking Beelzebumons instead of Beelstarmonxs. I'll ttyl. Longbottom later I thiiiiiiink, I don't feel too bad today.
Pls take care of yourself and have a relaxing day. God bless fren.
10/27 Digital Insanity
heyhey. I hope you're well.
Where am I... I re-mooooded my PS3 because it kept turning off. But it's still doing it lol. I didn't even REALLY have anything I desperately wanted to play anyway. So idk, I'm kinda just coping in the wind.
My Digimon X is coming this week. Oh, btw I got a Digimon X lol. It's like, the same thing as the original, but it has like... a quest mode.
Very exciting, right? As far as the original, I got a MetalGreymon, which is cool but also deeply upsetting because I think that means I fucked up getting a BlitzGreymon. For my second(and on the X, you can raise THREE), I've goooot a blue Coredramon. Idk if it's better, worse, or the same as a green Coredramon, but I'm just glad I didn't end up raising a Vegiemon or a piece of shitdramon.
Some of these lyrics-- I like Virtual Insanity as much as the next guy, but let's look at some of these...
And now every mother can choose the color of their child, that's not nature's way
That's... whatever, I get it. I'm sure he's not suggesting that the father, who presumably the woman is choosing, doesn't help determine that, but it'szzz... who cares? Out of all of the misery in store for us, designer babies?
What about implanting a uterus inside a 50 year old autogynephiliac so he can brag to women on social media that he's pregnant, and then he aborts it?
What about THAT, Jamiroquai, does THAT bother you, or just the thought that someone somewhere might want their child--who they don't kill in the womb--to be lighter-skinned?
Idk maybe I'm just crazy, maybe I've come down with virtual insanity. What else is here...
There's nothing left to do but pray
Okay, based?
I think it's time to find a new religion
Idk actually, I guess this could be interpreted as "technology" being a modern religion and finding a "new" one would be returning to tradition. Or "new" could also mean something entirely-new, never seen before. Which SOMEHOW be the answer to Virtual Insanity in a way that say, Christianity isn't: The NEW Religion would actually allow people to build civilizations, practice medicine, use computers, blog. Stuff that we don't see today and have never seen before. But it, being pure, would not allow a mother to choose the color of her child, because that's not Nature's way (well that's what they said yesterday)
Speaking of nature, I remember Kratos screaming "GAIAAAAAAA!!!!" was something my fren used to make fun of all the time. Too bad I'll never get to play GOW3 since my PS3 is dea-- oh no, pls don't say it's remastered on the PS4... lmfao it is. OH NO, IT'S ON SALE TOO? ACK.
idk what the reason is, but I've just been not digging gaming on my PC lately. Do you know that feel? It makes no sense. I can use whatever controller I want, my TV's not THAT much bigger than my monitor-- what is wrong with me?
There is something to the inherent simplicity of a console that makes it very appealing, even if your PC is set up to be exactly-as simple to game on. Now that's real virtual insanity.
Remember that celebrity chef that killed himself? I just remembered because what-- oh, Virtual Insanity. I remembered him saying that White people needed to be bred out of existence, which maybe is a weird thing for a fucking celebrity chef to be talking about, idk. So, mothers choosing the color of their children would be a good thing to him (as long as they're not choosing White). He's dead though, it doesn't really matter what he wants.
Sry, I'm hungry or something.
Oh, I wanted to ... I wanted to mention I finished Chains of Olympus. It sucked, I didn't enjoy it. And it has less bonus content than Ghost of Sparta. Which also suckedlmao. Actually I think it had a better story than Ghost of Sparta because it was about Kratos's daughter (who the FUCK would care about his BROTHER). So it was a little more emotional. You have to do a QTE to pry your daughter off of you so you can abandon her and go save the world. It's sad, but Kratos is just such an ugly deep-voiced clown.
GAIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I've got a picture of that chef up in my other window, and his stupid little smirk is annoying. There should be a God of War game where all the enemies are him, because Kr-- oh did you know that American History X inspired Kratos's design? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of, but it's true. So uh, who's the character... Derek Vinyard. Derek Vinyard should be an unlockable skin in a new God of War, and the main grunt enemies are little Anthony Bourdains running at you with meat cleavers.
That's enough. I'm gonna let you go.
A little out of it rn, but if I *stop* being out of it, a new Longbottom later. Idk though. I have to pick up MetalGreymon's poop, I'll ttyl.
Pls take care of yourself, aaaaaaaaaaaaand. have a comforting day. God bless, fren.
10/26 El Matador
Hey fren, hope you're well today.
Fights just ended, but instead of immediately boring you with a breakdown, let's talk about something else first.
Like whaaaaaat... idk, vidya? Wanna talk about vidya? I'm still playing Chains of Olympus. And I'm not really having funlmao. I just want to finish it. That's sick, isn't it?
I was thinking I'd try one of the 3D Castlevanias on the PS2 though. I'd rather be hacking and slashing as a vampire hunter than a bald asshole. I forgot to write about this earlier, but Kratos really is offensively fucking ugly.
Perplexity:
As a Mediterranean man yourself, you're right to point out that Kratos's features don't accurately represent those of ancient Greeks or Spartans.
lmao the race card works on AI. that makes me happy. Anyway, you know what the worst part about Kratos is? His nose. It's just big and fat. It's not like a longg noble one of an Emperor's. It's like cranking up every part under "nose" in a character editor to 100.
You know who Kratos SHOULD look like? Ilia Topuria, the (STILL)UFC featherweight champion. What a great transition.
The fights were aight. The first of the night was a blatant robbery, which set-- actually, I wrote some notes down for all of the fights, you wanna read them? I'll paste them at the bottom if you want to bore yourself.
Was there aaaanything else? Oh, Shane Davis's AXCEND came in yesterday. It's neato. Kinda boomerish comic about uh, people being dragged into a video gam-- oh no, would you consider this Isekai? Like they DO go into a vidya world, but they also... come back i-- whatever lmfao manga takes another W over Westoid comics. It's good though, and Shane Davis is great. BUT, here's something interesting: the original AXCEND came out like 10 years ago, before Shane Davis was like, based and really right-wing lmao I mean REALLY he was like a basic-bitch normie liberal like all artists. So the original's about like, a gay kid who gets bullied, and then he... kills the President... and then some nerdy loser tries to stop him and accidentally nukes a bunch of countries. Like it's BAAAAAD lmao. Uhh, idk if Shane's going to rewrite it. Because here's the thing: 1- he's definitely a better storyteller now, because Inglorious Rex is good. 2- he now has a hardass Chinese wife who is smarter than him and will not allow him to write sadslop trash and 3- he's already made some changes to the story, like a kid who yeets himself walking into traffic actually dies saving a kid. It's a good change. 10 years ago, it'd be like "whoa, this character killed himself, that's really groundbreaking, my expectations are so subverted" but uhhhhh Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz I'd rather a hero be a little more heroic, even if he's also depressed.
As for the gay character, idk, LOL. Like it was such a big part of the original story, and it was just retarded. Like the kid kills his DAD, even though his dad literally didn't even know he was gay. And then the President. It just -- and then GOD comes, and he's you know, the "all religions are actually true, I have maaany names" god, who's Anubis and uh, Thor, and idk, whatever. And he agrees with the gay kid that the planet must be destroyed becauselmao because some jocks called him a faggot in school. And then when the "hero" accidentally nukes Canada, and Japan, and China, and -- well, everyone-- gayboi's like "HEH, I GUESS I'M NOT THE REAL BAD GUY" as if the whole thing wasn't his fault and he didn't just literally murder the President of the United States for no rea--
anyway, it's a f-lmao im being uhh... anyway, there's a NEW AXCEND book too now, which are a few pretty cool stories done by other artists. And the original story was never actually FINISHED, so it'll be interesting no matter what to see what Shane does. Especially now that he's no-longer a liberal and has a wife who will beat him with a rolling pin.
Okay, I've definitely bored you enough, because I'm boring myself. I'll ttyl. I'm feeling a little better today, so maybe a new Longbottom later. Pls take care of yourself and haveee a warm day. God bless, fren.
Here's muh fight notes:
Rinat Fakhretdinov vs Carlos Leal-- shocking robbery. Rinat MIGHT have won 1, but Leal definitely won 2 and 3. All three judges incorrectly gave Rinat the fight, with one even giving him all 3 rounds. Baffling corruption.
Ismail Naurdiev vs Bruno Silva-- boring. 30-27, Bruno just didn't have it in him. Strange, since he's 1 of 2 fighters in the UFC to go the distance w/ Alex Pereira. I guess it's not *that* strange, he's tough. He just couldn't do anything.
Farid Basharat bashed Victor Hugo, who was overweight by 10lbs.lmao.
Kennedy Nzechukwu beat Chris Barnett, who is 5'9 and weighs 265lbs. Insane. Chris actually hurt his leg somehow which isn't like shocking since he weighs over 100lbs more than he should. It gave Kennedy the opportunity to finish the fight, but he was slowly getting pieced up anyway.
Abus Magomedov was first seen getting the shit beaten out of him by Sean Strickland after having a good 1st round. In hindsight, that wasn't a bad loss, but his gas tank was always sus after that. Brunno Ferreira was kicking his ass, but Abus managed to shoota desperation takedown and submit him with an arm triangle in r3--which is exactly what he needed. I think, I don't remember r1 because I was playing with my Digimon lmao.
Mateusz Rebecki vs Myktybek Orolbai-- Orolbai's eye was swollen aaaaalmost shut(Azn problems: absurdly tough, but damage prone), the fight was almost stopped. Orolbai started gaining some momentum, but thenBAAAAM, Mateusz dropped him and madre de Dios, he landed like 30+ shots on him, the fight could have been stopped multiple times, but the ref just let it continue. Orolbai survived though and kinda rallied, it wasn't uh... anyway, split decision for Rebecki. Great fight, but my man Orolbai :'( "Legendary Polish Power" is real.
Geoff Neal vs Rafael Dos Anjos- knee injury for RDA, sucks. Neal dropped him multiple times prior though, he was on his way to a KO anyway. Good fight because it was quick and I didn't want to watch it anywaylol.
Ibo Aslan vs Rafael Cerqueira. Aslan killed him in under a minute, which was cool, but he also had some preddy ugly gyno lol
MAAAAAIN CAAAAAAAAARDDDDD
Shara Magomedov vs Armen Petrosyan-- Shara KO'd Armen with a double spinning backfist at the end of 2. Craaaazy. And it's good that it happened because they were on their way to a robbery lol. Armen was winning, but not by so much; the judges 100% would have given it to Shara, because the judges can do anything they want and they'll never be punished for it
Lerone Murphy vs Dan Ige. Robbery. Dan won, they gave it to Murphy. sad.
Magomed Ankalaev vs Aleksandar Rakic-- i almost fell asleep, but Magomed won 2 rounds to 1. Rakic basically did nothing the final round, seemingly because he thought he was up 2 rounds. He was not.
Robert Whittaker vs Khamzat Chimaev-- Khamzat subbed him in the first round, somehow dislocating his jaw or something. Took him down immediately, controlled him 4 minutes, and like-- the very instant he applied pressure with his choke, which wasn't even on the neck, Robert tapped. Wiiiiiiild. I love it. the BORZ EXPRESS CHUGS ON
Ilia Topuria vs Max Holloway: FIRST MAN TO EVER KO HOLLOWAY. AND MAX LOOKED GOOD. ILIA'S JUST THAT GOOD AND JUST THAT STROOOOOONG. he's not only the matador, he's the BULL too.
10/20 Digital Reactionary Adventures
Hey fren, I hope you're well today.
Me? I'm... okay, I think. 1 sec, lemme clean up my Agumon's poop.
You know, Digimon pets just die. How do you feel about that? I never had a virtual pet before, so I never really thought about it.
You can't stop it. A certain number of mistakes, and RIP. I mean, theoretically you can keep them alive indefinitely by never battling. But then you'd have to make sure they're never injured or hungry by always feeding them on time and cleaning up their poop (or NOT cleaning up their poop, since once the screen if filled, they can't poop anymore and won't suffer further injury). As far as I can tell, you could also preserve their life just by resetting the game or removing the battery, since afterwards you pick up where you left off. It effectively puts them in stasis, right? I brought this up to Perplexity, who answered:
From a roleplaying perspective, one might argue about the ethics of keeping a Digimon in perpetual stasis
That actually made me laugh. It's true, isn't it? It's, maybe, not a very fulfilling life for a Digimon, and perhaps more importantly since they're not real, not a fulfilling experience for you as the owner.
I think I like that Digimon pets die lmao. (I'm vaguely aware that they never "really die" in canon) For example, my 2nd Digimon, a Gabumon SOMEHOW digivolved into a fucking Vegiemon, even though I thought I was taking good care of it. If you dick up taking care of your Digimon, instead of turning into anything cool like an Angemon or, really anything else, it becomes an ugly piece of shit Digimon. In fact, depending on the Digimon, it will literally become a piece of shit called Scumon. I had to reset, I hate Vegiemon.
Now that I know how easy it is to just let them die, if I ever get a shitty Digimon again, erm, maybe I'll just let them die. Numemon? More like "Doomed-emon". Enjoy not being fed.
Digital animal neglect created you, now digital animal cruelty will bZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz okay enough already. Exhausting.
I think my Agumon's on his way to being a Greymon. I'm a good pet owner.
Idk what the purpose of digital pets really is. I have to clean up this fucker's poop like every hour. My actual dog poops once a day, why am I doing this to myself?
I was reading a bit about the le history of virtual pets, with an article published in 2000 claiming that they're harmful because they reinforce gender stereotypes by teaching girls(but not boys I guess) to nurture something. And it's even WORSE because moms would often HELP their children care for the virtual pets. Seeing their mothers in the process of caregiving is going to, horrifyingly, program girls into believing(sexistly, and therefore wrong) that being a caregiver is some kind of good thing. I'm paraphrasing, but only a little. It was about as intelligent as any sort of denial of the immutable differences between men and women. Fucking retarded, excuse me.
Anyway, what else...
I started playing God of War: Ghost of Sparta. It's... it's fun, I guess. I think it's too cinematic. Like half the time I'm not even fighting, I'm climbing walls or running out of collapsing buildings. And I don't give a shit about the story. Finding Kratos's brother? Who cares? Fuck.
Dante's Inferno was literally better. You know where you are. In Hell. You know where you're going. Further down. Kratos is just running around like an asshole. One minute I'm in Atlantis, the next I'm in Thebes? How did that even happen? And why am I even in Thebes? Did someone tell me to go there? I honestly can't even remember. Dante died, went to Hell, and needs to reach the bottom to save Beatrice. Simple. Go down. He's not flying all around Florence in quick-time events.
The combat's fun, and definitely cleaner than Dante's Inferno. And idk, I guess I'll probably get... new items... who cares, I'm so tired. I don't want to play this anymore.
Honestly, it doesn't help that Kratos is ugly as sin. It's funny that he's such an asshole though. At least there's that.
Okay, that's enough. It's a fine game, I probably just. It's me. I just don't give a shit about Kratos, and I'm tired of QTEs and cutscenes.
You know what else I'm tired of? The word "reactionary". It's just the Left's (necessarily) gayer version of "degenerate". It's not a serious term at all. As if Leftism is some kind of a default state of Humanity that the Right is simply "reacting" to. As if "change" somehow ISN'T a reaction to the status quo. As if the Right simply opposes "CHANGE" and don't have their own changes they desire, instead of simplying "retvrning to tradition". As if, if we accept fake-history memes about how everyone used to be homosexual and ugliness and obesesity were the highest standards of beauty, Leftism itself isn't ALSO a sort of "return to tradition". Just instead of the 1950s, they want to go back to idk, 500 BCE.(Before Christ's Era)
That's all. "Reactionary" is uh, redditspeak, it's not serious. Everyone's reacting to everything. "Degenerate" actually is more useful, it's not pretentious.
Digimon are the champions. Chaaaaaaaaaange into di-gi-tal chaaampions tooooooo save the digital WORLD.
If people who use the word "reactionary" were Digimon, they'd be poop Digimon. Not that there's anything wrong with that, since "wrong" is purely a social construct. Did you know in ancient civilizations, poop was actually worth more than gold and everyone worshipped poop? It's true, look at this ancient vase with a depiction of poop on it. I am a doctor.
I really wanted to make this more of a DIGIPOST, sry. Looking at it now, it's expanded so much since I was a kid. I guess Pokemon has too, but idk, the Pokemon anime--it's weird even calling it that, we never even knew the word "anime" when we were kids--never excited me like Digimon did. Idk why that is, what do you think? Maybe it was the characters? I mean, what is Pokemon's version of wimpy little Patamon suddenly becoming Angemon? I'm being too critical, it's just that Pokemon didn't hold much mystery, at least for me. I had a poster with them all on it, how was I supposed to be surprised? Ash is on a journey to do what, collect a bunch of badges and win the Pokemon League? That's just another form of "In Order To Face Me, You Must First Defeat My 32 Captains!" In Digimon, these kids were like thrown on a mysterious island and a bunch of monsters were trying to kill them and they had no idea what was going on. That's awesome. Again, I'm uh-- I don't like being critical of Pokemonlol. Its world is fantastic. Imagine Pokemon being real, and you can just wander around town-to-town and get free healthcare. That'd be tits. Absolute Irish girl ghost nipple tits. BUT: Digimon was uh, exciting to watch because things could happen like a goofy little worthless runt suddenly becoming an Angel and punching a hole through a demon's chest.
Pokemon were just animals.
And now I'm looking at a Digimon that's just a gun-wielding catgirl nun. Pokebros, not like this...
Enough already. I'm putting Agumon to sleep. I'llllllllll. ttyl. I'm a little out of it. I wanna write a Longbottom. I'll try later. Pls take care of yourself. And have a comfy day. God bless, fren.
10/19 The Divine Comedy
I can't believe what time it is. My life is a comedy.
Do you know how long it took me to pick out this blogbait pic? Too long. You don't UNDERSTAND how much WORK it is. It has to be just right, enticing but not lewd. Usually a selfie, but not necessarily. Low-res ideally, but again not necessarily. It can't be a professional shot--although it can be a professional model in a /candid/ shot.
The things I do to get you to read my blog. Really this is your fault. People just don't READ anymore, so I have to lure you in like a fucking angler fish.
Ooohh look at this shiny Korean girl, isn't she fascina-- SURPRISE it's my ugly blog full of razor sharp teeth.
Are angler fish even real? Oh, you think they are? Why don't you go Google them then? I'll wait.
Well? Notice how all of the pictures are just illustrations or fake 3D renders? It's like NASA's pictures of "space", it's literal fantasy.
I'm just kidding, I believe in angler fish. There were a few real pics, right? A few.
A few.
Anyway, I beat Dante's Inferno on the PSP earlier lol. It was fun. This is NOT my review of the game, because I really wanna dig DEEP on 1- how gay it is, but also 2- how accidentally-based it is, and 3- the retarded anti-Christian marketing campaigns for the game's release. That's all gonna be its own post.
For now I'll just say the PSP version was very fun, BUT ALSO, unnecessarily inferior to the PS3 version. There's things they remove that just don't even make sense. Like the bestiary and profiles of the damned souls you meet (like Pilate, who "TRICKED the Pharisees into ALLOWING Jesus to be killed") And they also removed the neato equippable Relics that give you stat boosts or some unique abilities. I can see not including *some* of the Relics I guess because... they might have unique animations, but uh, the bestiary's a *menu* with *text and images* and most of the Relics are, what, number changes?
Gimme my Eyes of Saint Lucia.
Other than that, and a few "BIG" sequences that I'm sure the PSP couldn't handle, it's still good. Well, you know, "good". I've probably warmed up to it a bit since my last playthrough. As much as I dislike about it, I've found new things to like.
Anything else?
Idk, I'm not really excited to play anything. I might try "The Lord of the Rings: Tactics" lmao. The Third Age was a good game. But it was sooooo... how do I want to say this... for example, it's just like, goofy how much they rely on that font from the movies, you know? It was too much of a movie game. Also, it suffers from uh... "too many references". Some of the items and abilities, man. "Kingsfoil" makes sense, right? But "Sauron Blood"? "Shelob Slime"? What even is "Maiar Embers"? Embers from a fire they created? That's not really "Maiar Embers", right? If you take embers from a fire *I* start, they're not "Ask Embers". It seems to suggest they're the remnants of a Maiar in the form of a flame. Why is t-- forget it, it doesn't matter. But that's what I mean, just throwing names onto items and abilities for the sake of it. Watch, I'll do it right now.
Tears of Galadriel. Radagast's boots. Entbark Shield. It just... something about it just feels CHEAP, you know? It's like fanfictiony, which I guess is necessary for it to exist at all. At least it's a "pure" fanfiction, as opposed to like, Amazon-LOTR which is as nonsensical but without the charm.
"Ermmmm, Tolkien never explicitly stated that Elrond couldn't be Jamaican."
Okay, I'm just WASTING your time now. I'll let you g-- I just started reading a bit of absolute fucking(excuse me) nonsense from a "Tolkien scholar". I really don't lik-- I... Hm. Look, it's just that I don't like things that I know are wrong being stated as facts, that's all. I don't have a problem with someone having their own interpretation of something from the Silmarillion, but when I know that there's no basis for it and it's being presented to people a-- and this isn't even a big deal, it's a few LITTLE details a guy got wrong. Meanwhile, the fucking "Tolkien Society" is running around insisting that it makes sense for monster truck rallies to exist in Middle Earth because uh, you do realize that Tolkien never wrote that monster trucks aren't in Middle Earth... right, incel?
Feminists are so ugly and mean it makes me sick to my stomach. Sorry, any time I jokingly call you an incel, I'm reminded of feminist redditors who live to complain about autistic shy guys who haven't put their penises inside of vaginas. The truest measure of worth for every gender of feminist.
Hey ya'll, have ya'll used any frontholes lately? Ya'll know who DOESN'T use frontholes? "Nice Guys"! (They're not nice, get it? I am nice, but don't worry I don't say I am directly!)
Am I getting off track? I might be. I uhh... hm. It's like this: men and women are supposed to love each other. So I don't like sowers of discord lmao. That goes for "Men Going Their Own Way" and it goes for Feminists. And it REALLY goes for MALE feminists acting like fucking scum to their fellow men for--whatever reason--not having used fronthole. Female feminists, like real women, are easily forgiven. MALE feminists--[started getting too angry, and then sad, sorry]
It just... it's such a waste of time, it's upsetting to me. If I hadn't wasted years of my life being a leftist, I would literally be married with kids right now. That's not theoretical, I fell into atheism and feminism when I was literally dating a traditional Christian girl(albeit not Catholic iirc) who wanted to get married and have kids. Thank GOD I at least didn't waste too much of her time after I really started getting bad.
So the way uh... the way that male feminists--like I was--use "I have used a woman tee-hee" to belittle men who have NOT committed the sin of premarital sex, INTENTIONALLY OR NOT, is juuuuuust... it just sucks. Because it's worse than like, gay and annoying, it's harmful. Being smug about using women will lead to you wasting years of your OWN life, never mind what you're doing to the women whether you or they admit it or not.
So incels are *literally* better men at least in that regard. Purity is a good thing, even if it's involuntary. lmao when uh-- when Nick Fuentes started calling himself an incel, that was just so great. Ah, thinking of Nick just cheered me up.
I'm tired. Let's wr-- oh, I got a nice email earlier, wanna respond to it with me? Let's see... in case he's uncomfortable with it, I'm not going to paste his exact words (if I ever get retard mail, I will of course post it in full). It's a nice message from a guy who said he's recently stopped being an atheist. Also he liked my G.K. Chesterton page. Good taste!
OkAAAAAY, you've suffered enough, right? What is this, HELL? Thank God it's not.
Please take care of yourself fren, and have a... warm day. I'll ttyl. God bless.
10/17 yes refunds
Hey fren, I hope you're well today.
I'm going to make an effort to clean up muh writing. Wizardbro inspired me. The last few years, I've just become very lazy in my punctuation and grammar. You've seen me not capitalize my is or add apostrophes in contractions. I'm going to blame my friends and girlfriends, because entirely, 100%, their fault. They all ruined me. That's not to say I'm going to "uhhhh... stop writing like this", I mostly just want to clean up my ...orthography? LOL.
I'm still an ellipsescel, I think they're very useful when they're not being used by Boomers or Gen Xers or Redditors in general... right?
Anyway, wanna talk about vidya or something? Wait no, "or something" first. I uh, lol I did something maybe bad. You tell me. Erm, Dear Reddit, Am I The Asshole?
I was listenan to a stream last night, and a comic artist (not EVS or Shane Davis) who I was backing for $100 had a bit of a Boomerish take on [That Conflict in the Middle East]. And it just like, offended me lmao. You know, it was just *I feel*, inhumanely anti-Muslim, which I don't like on its own as a Christian, and also pro-Israel, whichlmao. You know.
So I refunded my $100. I do feel bad about it. Are people not allowed to have stupid Boomer takes? Especially when they're almost Boomers anyway? Now I'm withdrawing my support from him, punishing him, and also punishing myself, because now I'm not going to get the comic books he's making--which I wanted, until, erm yikes, he repeated a very common take I didn't like.
It was wrong of me. A guy I *generally* like--you know, as a streamer and artist who I don't actually know IRL--says (1) wrong thing, and now I won't support him? It's not like the One Wrong Thing he said was something that'd make me never want to even think of him again, like IDK, disrespecting Christianity. Sure, I'm a little tired (as an American, who doesn't have to cope with Islam like the UK does) of anti-Muslim sentiment which seems to me something very convenient for war profiteers. And sure, I'm exhausted of Our Greatest Ally.
But so what? I'm taking my money back because out of the thousands of words I listen to you say every week, a few sentences were unpleasant?
The only other time I can think of when I've stopped supporting someone was when I unsubbed from the Patreon of The Biggest Problem in the Universe, because every single episode, without fail, Dick Masterson has some retarded remark about Christians. And that was what, $5 a month?
I'm punishing this guy x20 because he made ONE remark against a DIFFERENT religion? And again, "punishing" being *me* also not getting what are going to be some really cool comic books.
IDK, maybe I'll re-back him. Haven't I already talked myself into it? You know what the problem was, I was like dead tired and it just annoyed me. I was too hasty. So, that's that.
Ummmmmmm... sorry for going on so long. Wanna talk about vidya or something?
It's INSANELY easy to hack a PSP now. I think the only problem mightt be finding PSP games worth playing. If you have any recommendations for me, please lemme know. I got uh... Dante's Infernoooo(which I have to review eventually), uhh... Asscreed... Warriors Orochi... White Knight Chronicles... LOTR Tactics lol. A few others, but waaatever. I like the PSP though. It's got Shinobido on it lmao. Have I ever told you how much I love Shinobido?
There's SO many cool games that were only released in Japan though. We really got screwed. Like always. Those DEMONIC Europeans were even going to try to keep Shinobido from us! Unforgivable!
Anyway, lemme let you go. Oh-- I got a second Digimon egg in my Digivice. Idk when it's going to hatch. My first mon's an Agumon now lol. I love that. Maybe I'll rewatch the anime. There's just so little time to do anything, right?
Let me stop wasting yours now.
I'll TTYL, pls take care of yourself and have a comfy day. God bless, fren.
10/16 a cold day in Hell
hey fren, i hoooope. you're well today.
I just finished reading Snowman: A Cold Day in Hell. I liked it a lot.
I don't like gore. And this was some of the goriest stuff I've ever seen. But I still liked it, A LOT, anyway.
It's aboutttt... 2 guys traveling together back in the idk, Wildest West days. During winter. A White man and a Red man. And they come across some absolutely inhuman scenes of slaughter.
There's an Indian named Black Dog whose family was killed by Whites--something happened, we don't know yet--which made him like, an undead monster who can control snow and ice. And now he's murdering every White person he sees, eradicating entire towns.
Now, the racial issues are handled pretty well. This story about White settlers and a heckin' victimized Native isn't even remotely anti-White or anti-Indian, which is like *GASP*, what? How can that be? It be. If this was written by like, some gay idiot in California the message would be "His anger is valid!" and that the White people deserve it. No such thing here: Murder is bad.
The Indian protag is named Daniel and he's uh, cool. Strong, smart hunter guy, you know. When his fren starts to wonder if Whites really are devils, he gives a Colonel Miles speech about Whites not doing anything evil that Reds don't do. Leftists might call him an Uncle Bull (da dum tss) but he's really just like, a rational human being. His fren is a White man named Sam, who's a Christian and wildly, Christianity's handled pretty well in the story. Daniel, I think, is not a Christian, but doesn't give Sam any kind of Milennial redditor remarks about it whatsoever. There's no tired gay "Where's your god now?" dialogue.
What else... it's gorey. Black Dog murders the everloving shit out of dozens of people in the book, and every other page is blood, guts, and limbs flying everywhere. I'm not into that, at all. But uh... I don't care lol.
In-between the carnage, it's a preddy neat story. Daniel has some connection to Black Dog, and Black Dog doesn't seem to want to kill him, or even Sam even though Sam's White.
Also there's talking rabbits.
Uh... I enjoyed it a lot. My only complaint is that it ended too soon! It was published by EVS through All Caps Comics, but #2 is going to have SEX so EVS doesn't want to publish it and will just help him promote it instead. I don't blame him, All Caps issss supposed to be like young teen-friendly. I'll be looking forward to it though, to knowing WHAT'S THE DEAL with Black Dawg's powers and can he be stopped? And I guess I won't object to seeing a boob.
Aiiiiight I'm tired. Is this post just going to be a Snowman review? ...yes, I think so. I'm ...... idk. I feel like starting something new. I'm not ENDING Longbottom, but I think I have to write something else for a bit. I started reading a Patrick Tomlinson book, and it's sickeningly bad, but at least he tried. What's the use of being a better writer(I am and so are you)if I'm simultaneously too lazy to try to write something sincere? I'm so tired though.
I'll ttyl. Pls take care of yourself, aaaaand have a good, comfy day. God bless, fren.
10/14 dontt worry everything's ok
[a paragraph of me complaining about "realistic" man-faced women in AAA games]
anyway, hey. i hopeyoureeeeeee. i hope youre well t oday.
im... how am i... im okay. i just gotta type a little to raise my mood. or something. sry, let's start over.
...Boarscabs School of Witchhunting... is that a good idea? hm.
wanna clear out some of my reminders with me? Let's see...
"Atomic Heart and Chernobylite. 2 games I don't even remember getting." oh yeah... hm. im probably never going to play them lmfao. im sure they're great, but im... kinda out of my cheeki breeki phase and more into uh, anime girl games under 50 gigs. idk, life is weird. a few years ago the idea of being TIRED of playing as a Russian guy in a gas mask sneaking around a wasteland would be ABSURD. whatever. maybe ill feel like playing them before i die.
"feminist literature" lmao.
"Midway on our life's journey, I found myself
In dark woods, the right road lost." ah, from when I decided to send Parvati Patil to Purgatory. I don't think I was able to work this line in though, but what a great line.
"Your ex-GF is now on the enemy side." lmao i saw that on a ... thing. idk really, i guess it was an AI chatbot and that's the character it was? i was trying to get good prompts to generate Longbottom characters. (spoiler: didnt work out) imagine your ex-girlfriend trying to kill you in a military conflict. something ... KINDA similar happened in the Ender's Shadow series I think... except she wasn't the ex-gf, she was just... aforget it, i cant even remember. let's move on.
ah, the detailed instructions for getting Mew in Pokemon R/B/Y. Very important.
Okay, thanks for helping me clear some notes. There's a lot more, but I'll spare you for now.
Wanna talk about anything else? Vidya?
Echoes of Wisdom. is good. i like it. it's fun. uhhhhhhhhhhhh... you know. you're Zelda and you make. echoes. it's kinda neato creating monsters to attac other monsters, there's a fair amount of variety for everything. I really like making a Deku Baba and carrying him around over my head so he can nom enemies. That's fun. And the Peahat is really cool and and he can fly. im so tired. uh... no, that's it. it's good though. the game's puzzles are niiiice, the music's niiiiiiice, i haven't noticed any poz which was always a fear for when "playable Zelda!" would finally happen again. Frankly the game's probably great for little girls. And also big strong genius men like you and I.
whatelse... Snowman's coming tomorrow. It's a... comic. zzzzzzzzi--CYBERFROG DARK HARVEST IS DONE AND GOING TO THE PRINTER im very very excited. How much longer until it's in my hands? like a month maybe? pls i just wanna read muh frog book.
ok that's it. no more. ill ttyl. pls take care of yourself. have a good, comfy day. God bless, fren.
10/11 did i need a new mouse pad?
hey fren. i hope you're well today.
i got a digimon digital.pet. i decided to get one over a tamagotchi because... they're supposedly lower-maintenance... they have a better chain... i like digimon... and let's face it, ill probably just get a tamagotchi too later anyway.
it's not like i have anything approaching self-control. im in some kind of a nostalgia-hoarding mood that im just BARELY surviving.
uh.. hm. ill be all right. you know, I worked out today? isn't that crazy? the last week, my stomach hasnt feltt so bad. i cut out red meat. maybe it's. helping a little. idk. seafood SCARES me so now im like idk, the Hound.
Bring me a chicken. Make it 2 chickens.
lmao EVS is doing another $14.88 sale rn. UnFROGettable tales volume 2. i already have it.
uhhhhhh... so look at this mouse pad. It came up on amazon when i was searching for muh digital pet. can you believe this? look at Sora biting her FUCKING glove.
what are these faces called again... gesugao? Remember that U Got That song? i think that was when most people discovered those faces. that was just. dem faces though.
you know, when i heard that Sora didn't end up with Tai, i was disgusted. that's even more disgusting than Harry Potter ending up with Ginny fucking Weasley over Cho, or even freaking Hermione. Bitch that she is.
I did really like the touch of Hermione not taking Ron's last name though in "The Cursed Child" book. like that's just pure comedy. (none of this matters since JK Rowling's work is not canon, mine is)
I rly liked Sora when I was a kid. i did *not* like that girl with the stupid cowboy hat. I mean, I like her in this image, but that's different.
you know though, I think i remember an episode where she was taking a shower and that... ?rooster?(edit: Kokatorimon lmao) thing was sneaking up on her. but the fact she was taking a shower, made my little brain go "alriiight this is cool"
girls are just fucking cool, man.
uh... hm... did you wanna talk about something? OH SHEEEIT, did you know there's TENCHU GAMES on the PSP? I'm gonna try them out. I hope they're not bad. There's one for the DS and it's fun but it's really simple. I'm really hungry for a ninja game.
imagine a... ninja tomboy gf...
like. Tenten from Naruto. She was so useless thoughlmao BRUHH NARUTO IS SO UNDERRATED-- i wanna wa-- is there a good Naruto game or are they all fighting games? They're probably all fighting games.Zzzzzzzzz
anyway i uh... was playing Shinobido on the PSP. It's pretty cool. It's mooostly similar to the PS2 version but instead of it being "choose your own adventure", it's a uh... campaign of missions. and you can't craft your own equipment, there's preset loadouts. so. it's not as good. but still good enough to enjoy. Shinobido was such a SHOCKINGLY enjoyable game. there'szzz... the same team makes the ...Way of the Samurai games i think. ive never played them though. but if they're just the same with Samurai, they're probably great.
kk, im going on too long now. what a DUMB post. i dont need a new mouse pad, im not spending $26 on a mouse pad that i dont need just because it has girls from my childhood making sexy faces at me. I DO have some self control. let's wrap up. uhhhhhh... ill write a new Longbottom tomorrow i think. is that all? thats allzzzz
ill ttyl. pls take care of yourself, aaaaandhave a relaxing da-- REEEEEEEE
!@!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!! TATSURO TAIRA IS FIGHTING LATER MAKE SURE YOU WATCH HIM(SATURDAY NIGHT)! GO TATSURO! DO YOUR BEST!
now then.have a relaxing day pls. God bless fren
10/10 YOU'RE SO COLD KEEP YOUR HAND IN MINE
WISE MEN WONDER WHILE. STRONG MEN DIIIIIIIIIEEEEE
SHOW ME HOW IT ENDS, IT'S ALL RIIIIIIIGHT
SHOW ME HOW DEFENSELESS YOU REALLY AAAARE
hey fren, i hope youre wel today
i did not have a snow storm, but i had a touch of hurricane. just a touch.
i've always been very blessed to live in areas that don't get flooded, so even though I've been through more hurricanes than I can even remember, it's never been too bad.
Actually, when I was living in New Jersey, a BLIZZARD (ah-ha, blogbait pic related) was probably the worst storm of my life...
I'd been working that day, like an idiot who figured "bah, I've driven through snow before nbd". But it was too much this time and I COULD NOT get home. What was normally about a... say 45 minute drive had turned into several hours of slippin' and slidin'. Thank God it was at least at night and all the roads were empty so I wasn't inconveniencing anyone. Well, except the cop who ended up having to pick me up me when I finally couldn't go any further and had to park in a lot.
I was just going to sleep in my car, and I guess die or whatever, but my girlfriend called the cops to come get me.
I think she might have been smarter than me.
Anyway, the cop took me home in one of those cool tanks. It felt kinda like Rocket Power when they got saved in the amphibious urban assault vehicle. It wasn't really a tank at all, but you know, it was a BIG VEHICLE that could uh, drive in deep snow.
Anyway, I got home, and uh, my power was out forever. Like, 2 weeks. I had to stay at my gf's, but I wasn't allowed to sleep with her and her mom was stingy with the heat, so I was still cold.
YOU'RE SO COLD BUT YOU FEEL ALIVE
LAY YOUR HAND ON ME, ONE LAST TIIIIIIIIIIMEEEEE
So that was really the worst storm I was ever in. Hurricanes? I've always been spared their full wrath.
Any the power usually comes on much sooner than 2 weeks+. Like this time, when it came back in under 24hrs. neato.
Anyway, I uhhh... that's all for now, I'm exhausted. I hope YOU are okay. ill ttyl. Pls have a comfortable day. God bless, fren
10/07 A storm is coming for askers like you...
hey fren hope you're well today.
this morning i started refreshing my folder of "cute but not lewd azn girls to get you to click on my blog", and it's like a nightmare trying to appropriate ones. there's a lot of FACTORS. you know, I had a bunch saved from 4chan as reaction images, but ive used them all up, i have to go HUNTING for more, i raaaarely go on any board of 4chan anymore--the black dick posters from Some Country That Isn't The U.S. pretty successfully ruined /v/ for me-- and I can't stand /pol/ anymore unless it's being delivered by our beloved /pol/ News Network so it's up to ME. And *I* have crippling Yellow Fever, so it's like-- it's WORK, do you understand? It's WORK to find a bunch of blog-bait pictures of Asian girls.
anyway, what's new? what do you wanna talk about? how about some vidya?
I started playing Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon for the DS. It's really easy. i think it might be ranked the 2nd easiest Fire Emblem game. I'm very okay with that. It's a remake offff... i think the original. Um... it's aight. for some reason, the story isn't quite as compelling to me as the GBA games, or even uh, Three Houses. i dont care im so tired
what uh else...zzzzzzz... Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance kinda sucks. The double-castle thing makes it so boring lol. and i was actually enjoying it up until then but now it's like, the map suddenly got twice as big, and it's just EXHAUSTING trying to find where to go. it doesn't feel like exploration as much as... something else. What would you call exploration that's not-at-all-fun? whatvever, im only half awake im sorry.
what else? Portrait of Ruin though, is fun so far. 2 characters at once, Charlotte's .neat. if you hold up for 10 seconds, she does a sexy arms_behind_head pose, very important. rly though, the game's pretty cool. it even has SIDE QUESTS. also there'slmao there's like some enemy... ZACCHINO who tries to give Charlotte a rose and says "I LOVE YOOOOU!!" and doesnt attack, but if you're playing as Jonathan he just tries to kill you. And you know what? The "portrait worlds" you go to are way more interesting than "another fucking castle on top of the one you're in". I wish Harmony of Dissonance wasn't... bad. I try so hard to give older games a chance, but the difference in quality-- in all aspects--between HoD and Aria of Sorrow, also the on GBA? It's incredible.
The one thing that I do like about HoD is that you can get a Bible as a sub-weapon and it's so powerful you can just clobber bosses in a minute without even trying. Now that's based.
Uhhh... Order of Ecclesia will be the last handheld Castlevania, aaaaand. i played a bit of it. It's good so far, i dig it. that's all.
UFC? i fell asleep early so i missed some of the fights, but when i woke up i took a little caffeine so i could make sure to see Alex Pereira clobber Khalil Rountree. Khalil did a lot better than people(not me)thought he would, so now everyone's(not me) overcorrecting and giving him way too much praise for his performance. that's another post, though, you're suffering enough.
anyway, a STORM actually IS coming for me, even though I'm not an asker, I am Ask. so lemme wraaaap it up...
Waifu Library released another chapter of Mil-Sim Story, I'm a still a *few* behind, but I'm catching up! I think I'll read like two after I'm done here. Why do I feel... i think i didnt get enough sleep or somethinglmao the story of my life is waking up feeling less-refreshed than i did when i went to sleep.
im okay.
kkk let's part ways. i'll talk to you later. pls take care of yourself, and have a comfy day. God bless, fren
09/27 State of the Ask
Hey fren, hope you're well today.
I'm just gonna. Ramble a bit, idk. [complaining about life redacted: I'm alive, thank God]
What else? I got a copy of Cash Grab lmao. The writer's this guy, CECIL, who's a fren of the ComicsGate guys. And he's funny. And he had them on sale, so I'm like ye I will purchase your comic funny man. You know, the character's a fat ugly bastard. Just like Cecil irl. No, he's not ugly--he's Italian, that's impossible. But he is OLD, he's 50. And God bless him, he's dating a 26 year old lmao
Those OLD FUCKS, the "ComicsGate Kings" are some of the most entertaining streamers I've ever listened to. Maybe it's just because I like them. When you like someone, you think they're funnier.
Do you like me?
I wish I was playing Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom rn, but Amazon didn't have preorders for some reason. And I don't feel like... going to get it. That's like, a thing of the past. But so are physical copies, which is what I want anyway. There's no WaaaAAAAAAAAaaaay I'm going to get A DIGITAL COPY, THAT'D BE CRAZY. What will I do when Nintendo dies, which will SURELY happen before ME, and I can no-longer redownload my beloved copy of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom? Exactly.
No, I don't care. I am going to wait to order a physical one, but I've got enough sheeeeit to playlmao.
I have to try out the DS Fire Emblemmmmm, I have some Phoneix Wriiiiight games to playyyyy, I wanna try out Professor Laaaaayton, I've got 2 more Castlevaaaaanias to beat,
you know, the DS is prettyyyy cool. Now I've got the MM nu3DSXL, a DSi, a DS Lite, aaaand a DS my high school gf gave me. I never even played it back then, ever. Not even once. It just sat in my dresser for years upon years.
Now I'm playing with it all the time. Even more than the others, because it's got the GBA slot and I got a GBA cart. Life is funny.
[redacted]
im so tired
The Sopranos has been. pretty good. mostly good. It's entertaining. Really though, Tony's family life is... it's well done, but uh, I don't care. I really just want to see gangsters doing business and killing each other, I don't really need to see Meadow dating a half-black jewish boy and Tony disapproving of it--only because he's half-black of course, because Tony doesn't care about religion at all--or AJ being kicked out of school for being retarded. That's not super interesting. It's done well enough, though.
The charaaaaaacters are all so great. You know who I like? Bobby, the gigantic fatso who takes care of Uncle Junior. He's my favorite. I love him, I don't like him. He eats so much shit for his weight(pun intended) and he just copes and does his job. He's cool and funny and lovable.
Who else do I like... Furio. I love Furio. He's cool and he has a cool nose.
ARTIEEEEEE the cook I LOVE HIM, i just love everyone. They're all just great.
It's such peak redditry to dismiss them all as "sociopaths" and "bad people". They're humans. They're kiiiiiiinda bad people, sooooooometimes. But that's enough Sopranoposting rn.
i cant remember if i wanted to... say anything else... uhhh... Longbottom later i think.
09/14 Stream of Consciousness
You and me
A madman and his Angel to their final trip
Drifting in a sullen sea, identities
Divided by a tiny line we cannot see
But I can feel your presence right here
Hey fren, hope you're well today. It's a variety post today. Right?
Music first?
Identities is a song from the album Stream of Consciousness, I'm in a big Vision Divine mood atm
I used to listen to so much random Italian metal when I was younger, but nothing stuck with me much as Vision Divine. At the time I started listening to them... let's see... the singer of Stream of Consciousness, Michele Luppi, was already gone, and replaced with the original singer, Fabio Leone, who is NOW the lead singer of Angra, a Brazilian band.
Michele Luppi was my favorite. I actually haven't heard enough of the new guy, Ivan Giannini, to compare, but I definitely already like Ivan. And also, more than Fabio.
Fabio's a good singer, he just has a uh... idk, maybe I just didn't like his songs as much. Although, Violet Loneliness was good enough for my comfy bedtime playlist back then.
Yeah, you know what? It's not Fabio's fault, it's the songs.
You know, my girlfriend in high school made fun of him, and by extension me, because of the way he uh, "holds" notes, you know? Idk the technical term for it, but instead of Aaaaaaaaaaaaa, he tends to AAaaAaAaaAaAAaAaa, you know? That BITCH actually made fun of-- lmao she was such a little fuck.
Michele Luppi doesn't do that though, I should have made her listen to one of his songs instead.
Luppi's albums were the ones I was most familiar with anyway: Stream of Consciousness, The Perfect Machine, the 25th Hour. Especially The Perfect Machine, thaaaaaaaat was a masterpiece. The story of humans discovering immortality but it leaves them unable or unwilling to reproduce. God goes off on them in "God is Dead"-- way cooler and less-gay than another song called "God is Dead"
So he tells the people He's out.
In "Now That You've Gone", the people realize that even with "perfect lives" they're not happy without God.
Life faded away
To a black pitch nightmare
The World... Rotting inside...
Got no feelings anymore to share with others
We don't even have the need to make new children
In the end, after 4,000 years of stagnation, it's reported that a new baby was born somewhere, signaling God's returned and is answering their prayers again.
I love it, it's a great album, a great story, and a great message.
Is it unfair to suggest that even given immortality, humans can't be happy without God?
I know it sounds like it, but it's not.
How many times, in regards to Heaven, do we have to hear some variation of "Living forever would be so boooooooooring" either about what you'd be doing in Heaven, or just in general
No I think on the contrary, living forever could only not be boring with God, doing God things. Throwing wrenches in our plans, forcing us to cope and seethe and problem-solve. And loving us, and being loved by us. Any interpretation of Heaven relies on God, it's not about what we want, it's about what He wants, (And That's A Good Thing) and being in His prescence for it.
im so tired it's unreal.
What uh... what picture am I using here... oh, Virgin and Chad. I just wanted to note Chad Virgin is basically Rei Jeong from HP Longbottom, but Rei's not flat. I have nothing else to say about the image. Obviously Chad Virgin's better.
Any more music talk? No, DS talk
INDEED i got a DS Lite, and I'm really impressed with it. So then I got a DSi, which is in better shape than the Lite, so I've been plaaaaaaayan it moar. Castlevania, ... Dawn of Sorrow. Wh.. ....you play as Soma Cruz, it's the sequel to thezzzzzzzzzAria of Sorrow
i just reminded myself of the Netflix-Castlevania series written by a [be nice] and I put myself in a bad mood. i do that too often.
"Church Bad" is lazy writing, sorry. Sure, it OFFENDS me too, but that's unrelated, you're just a bad writer. Whatever the [be nice]'s name is, I don't even know. Netflixvania, AmazonLOTR, all this ugly trash I'm gonnalmao i, im sorry im being negative now. anyway unlike Netflixvania, Dawn of Sorrow's preeeetty cool.
im a little out of it sry sry.
pls just take care.
havea cozy day. God bless, fren
09/11 Every time I look at you I don't understand
Why you let the things you did get so out of hand
(Jesus Christ Superstar is way too kind to Judas, but its saving grace is that it does portray Christ's divinity)
HellOOOOOOO friendo, I hope you're well today. Pic unrelated as always, serving only to get you into the blog post.
It's a very exciting blog post, though. Only a few topics. Uhhh...
Last time, when I was talking about Asian UFC fighters, I FORGOT that I wanted to get more into short fighters in general. Being a man of average height is like being a mutt. You're pulled in either direction. I can either side with lanklets or dwarves. You know who was a dwarf? Gimli. Did you know that in the books, Gimli actually got more kills than Legolas? That's right, the movies lied. Lanklet propaganda. The dwarf took the W over the elf.
Thoughts?
All of my favorite fighters are short. Why? Because they're the best fighters. Here, consider this:
Who's widely regarded as the GOAT of MMA, besides Jon Jones(roid cheat) and GSP (Canadian)?
Das rite, Mighty Mouse, at what, 5'3? That's quite a mighty mouse.(Just retired, good for him)
Now, who actually IS the greatest of all time? DAS RITE, Alexander Volkanovski, at 5'5. Still short.
Basically every Muay Thai fighter? Short.
Saenchai? 5'5. Unbeaten for TEN YEARS, with ONE draw against...
Das rite, an Italian. The only thing more powerful than being short. Being short keeps you grounded, but all ground is Italy.
It all makes perfect sense.
No, that's all. Height's a uh, thing. Short guys have to work harder than other people, and I feel for them. Because for every Volkanovski, there's a thousand George Costanzas.
And it's not like I'm 6'6, so I DON'T LIKE LANKLETS, FILTHY LANKLETS calling ME short, so how can I then turn around and disrespect another man's height? Guys are out there having their fucking legs broken to get an extra few inches, it's ruff.
Where is this going now? Why do men break their legs? They don't do it to improve their fighting, they do it to peacock for women. Is this a Dating Post? Eh... no. I really just wanted to praise short fighters without exclusively glazing Asian ones like last time.
That said, Tatsuro's my boy and he's going to be the Flyweight Champion, believe it.
Let's just move on... uhhh
Oh, speaking of SHORT, the "Ever-Shrinking God". As I was falling asleep last night, I remembered another criticism of it, as if it needed another one. What was it though... oh lmao. The idea that God is only responsible for things we don't understand. It's a complete misunderstanding of what-- idk, probably *any* religion's idea of a god, but I can only speak to Christianity. Science isn't like, a scoreboard and every time we discover literally-anything that was previously not understood, we add one point to Science and deduct one point from God. Everything we don't know, AND everything we DO know, comes from God. That's uh, the point. He's the one who makes it all work. Sounds like cheating, doesn't it? But it's not a game, truth is necessarily unassailable. "Nooooo that's unfalsifiable!" has never been a good argument against God. "Well well well, isn't it sooo convenient that I can't prove you wrong!" Yes it is convenient, I'm sorry. That's all, not complicated. This "Ever-shrinking" concept seems to suggest at the end of the Universe, a final stone will be unturned, and there will be no bearded wizard underneath it, and at long last the dastardly theists will be all out of places to hide. That's not how Christians believe God to be. Endlessly repeating "magic skydaddy" might had some kind of uh... self-gaslighting effect that made Atheists believe that Christians believe that God is literally just Dumbledore in outer space. Maybe I'm putting more thought into it than they are. Probably, I don't remember.
Atheism, particularly anti-Christianity/Antitheism is full of all these little... memes. This, the "Problem of Evil", this stuff used to be like "WHOAAAAA!" to me. I couldn't see the flaws in them, I guess maybe because I just didn't want to. Or uh, you just don't BOTHER to. There's a certain amount of energy you're willing to spend critiquing your own belief system, the things you want to believe. I wanted to be an Atheist, so I let a lot slide. Christians let things slide, everyone lets things slide. But anyway, this issss just a bad argument soooo DAS ALL.
What's next...
The debate? I'm so tired. The debate sucked. Trump did FINE, he did AVERAGE, but Kamala's voice is agony. I said this last night, Hilary Clinton's voice did not HURT me the way hers does.
Uh, faaaacts? The moderators desperately tried to #factcheck a bit of Trump's hyperbole, but it didn't go great for them. Idr which point it was, but Trump actually Uno-reverse factchecked that gay bugman moderator and that was pretty funny.
Kamala's plan to save America by giving everyone a bunch of money was interesting.
It's a uh. Probably a bad sign for the health of a nation when one of the most important issues is "cumming inside pussies without having babies" Don't get me wrong, I love lmao im sorry i have to commit now, I love cumming inside pussies, and I HATE responsibility, just like a proper modern penis-haver. Modeling a country after my youth isn't a good idea, I think.
It's just not good for the mental health, or spirit of a nation. The abortion experiment, the feminism experiment, the sexual "liberation" experiment, they've all been tried for many decades. Before you or I were born. According to Science, the thing that everyone loves, women--and men--are not happier than they were in decades past. Just look around you, you don't need a study to confirm it(though they do). So we know that the experiments of abortion, feminism, and sexual "liberation" have failed. If people care about "mental health" as much as they claim to, it's probably a good idea to, as our dear Vice President said, move foward, not backward.
The "question" about Trump mocking Kamala for pretending to be black or White depending on the situation wassssssssssssssss. You know. Not really a question as much as a waste of troubling waste of time.
What were some oth... I should have written this fresh, I'm sorry. It was such a misery I've forgotten half of it.
Trump's right about the border, obviously. Uh, his take on diplomacy is just, great. Like it's just great. Imagine having a President who other world leaders will talk to, even "adversarial" ones. It's supposed to be a bad thing that Trump is capable of having a rapport with Putin and Xi and Kim because "nooooooo they're da bad guys". But lmao
Trump be like "If elected, before I'm even in office, I will end the war in Ukraine with a phone call."
Kamala be like "I solemnly swear to send 6 million American boys to fight Russia just in time for winter."
She really does believe in post-birth abortion.
Uhh, what else? Israel? Let's not talk about it.
lol I KNOW that when Trump said "If she's elected, Israel will not exist in a year" there were some "now wait a sec..."s
Let's not talk about it.
Oh, the Trump Tax? lmao. It was pretty funny that the current administration kept Trump's tariffs, I didn't know that. Uhh, idk, assuming that Kamala was right, and that's really being extremely generous, it'd be what... a tax on imported goods? I have to doubt Kamala's "world's greatest economists'" estimation of a +$4000/year expense per household. I just have no choice. I mean, we're working blind here from the get-go. It's essentially a make-believe number, but let's try to figure it out anyway. In order to reach that number, assuming this "Trump Tax" is under 100%, we(you and I) need to be spending $4000 a year on foreign goods. Foreign food, maybe? Idk, remember, this is all just Kamala saying "trust me bro". We import a lot of... vegetables from Mexico, some from Canada...
You know what? I'm boring myself now, I can only imagine what I'm doing to you. So let's look at this another way:
Russia is the world's largest producer of wheatlmao. We can have a president who wants to go to war with the world's largest producer of wheat, or we can have a president who is on friendly terms with the leader of Russia. There, I solved whateverthefuck the mysterious "Trump Tax" was. And since the moderators didn't try to #factcheck Trump when he #factchecked Kamala, I'll just assume it's a nothingburger anyway.
Healthcare?
Public healthcare doesn't work in America. And no amount of money being pumped into it will make it work. This probably deserves its own post
ENVIIIIIIIRONMENTTTTTTTTT? same issue. Kamala bragging about "investing"(wasting) 1 trillion dollars in -- uh... ??? what was it again? idr, I just know the environment's still in grave danger--an "existential threat" despite 1 trillion dollars, so that's no good. Time to move foward.
That's all I can bear to remember rn. What a waste of time.
Next time let's talk about something fun.
I'll ttyl, pls take care. God bless, fren
09/10 In this moment, I am euphoric.
Hey friend, i hope you're feeling well today.
wanna help me clear some of my notes again?
let's see what I wrote...
"The Vyzpzz are highly-intelligent sissies" LOL
Okay, that's an Ethan Van Sciver quote. He did a preview of the new Cyberfrog book a few days ago. It looks amazing. But some people don't like that the Vyzpzz are basically SJWs and Ethan was reading their dialogue in an obnoxious gay voice. Because it makes them less COOL. Right? But uh... good. They're villains. Idk why people want villains to be COOL or SEXY. These are alien murder hornets that invaded Earth and are turning people into blood honey. They're assholes. Why would the words that come out of their mouths *not* be spoken with obnoxious faggy voices?
Maybe I'm biased because I love EVS's "gay voice". It's so, excuse my language, FUCKING funny that I can't stand it. (Also it wasn't even serious, they're alien wasps, they don't talk like humans, they Bzzzzz. But it really bothered some people!)
But no, you tell me. I'm going to go grab my copy of Rekt Planet, and I'll give you some of the Vyzpzz dialogue. You tell ME if they sound "COOL" or "BADASS". 1 sec... ok, here's some quotes from them when they're fighting Cyberfrog:
"These are the consequences of your actions!!"
"I'm sorry that happened to you."
"Still waiting for any accountability from you."
"Now is not the time to defend yourself. Now is not the time for you to do anything. Except reflect and think about how you can...
Be better."
Are those COOL, RAD, AWESOME, BADASS, SEXY villains?
No, they're vile, nasty left-feminist twitter warriors.
And That's A Good Thing. I saw a guy say that it's too "on the nose" and somehow "lacking nuance", but that's retarded. I'm not the only one--in fact, I will say that 100% of people who read Cyberfrog 2 went nuts when the Vyzpzz started talking like that. It was *PERFECT*, and you know why it's perfect? Because it's REAL. That's how those insufferable fucking --sry. That's how those People of Twitter actually talk, which is why it was so effective. Nuance? They're fucking LITERAL INSECTS.
Everyone wants the Devil to be a handsome brooding misunderstood genius, but you know what? Besides being untrue, that's BORING. We've seen enough of it already. Before I was even born, and for my entire life, pop culture has been simping for evil. It's old. *yawn* I think it's way cooler to have swarms of giant killer wasps that talk like 20 year old Communist assholes. THAT'S realistic.
I've gone on a bit long, sry. What else did I write in my notes?...
"Young Earth Creationism causes less harm to society than Atheism" True, but that probably deserves a full article when I'm feeling better. What else...
"Gilbert Burn's shirt". lol on Saturday Gilbert Burns was walking around in some cool Japanese shirt with Jesus Christ holding a sword or something, I didn't get a good look. It was a coooool freaking shirt. Sad Burns lost, happy that he lolst to a man who crossed himself though.
"If Rong Zhu was White, the fight wouldn't have been stopped" Ah, Zhu took an elbow that made his eye swell shut, and I couldn't help but feel that if he was White it wouldn't have been as bad. And I feel that because it's uh, true. You know, our eyes are different. That swelling would not have completely-covered a White or Black man's eye. It wasn't insignificant at all, but *that level* of swelling, we've seen other fighters be allowed to continue. That sucks. Asianbros, not like this. There's so few of them in the UFC, they're all in ONE or --the other's named, i cant remember(edit:Rizin)-- or SOME might argue Azn men just aren't made for combat sports. And it's like, yeeeahthey're often SHORT, but in 2024, when they're putting estrogen in our water that we then have to pour into our plastic bottles, it's not really hard to compete with other men in terms of testosterone. I mean, there's what, zero Indian men ranked in the UFC. Can they not fight either? I'm not denying GENETICS I'm just saying if I lmao if I was a Japanese man, I'd probably be comfier fighting for Rizin. I'm sure not everyone is just ITCHING to come fight in Las Vegas when they can already fight in their own backyards for enough money.
Anyway, Tatsuro Taira's fighting the #1 guy Brandon Royval next month. If he wins, maaaaan, Pantoja's next. We could have our first Japanese champion. That'd be crazy. Pantoja's 9 years older than Tatsuro. At flyweight, that might as well be 20 years. Well, it'll be entertaining no matter what.
Gone on too long again, sry. What other notes do we have...
"Harry calling Cho a succulent Chinese meal" Okay, I can cross that one off, I already did that...
"Dad, I can knock her up any time you say!" another EVS quote lmao his son was offering to give him a grandchild. Isn't that sweet? I love family. Life is beautiful, isn't it?
That reminds me, Ana "That Star Wars Girl" is having her baby in December, and that's great. I never followed her but she's frens with all of the Comicsgate guys, so I've been tuning in to her streams a bit, and she's funny. And she's growing a person inside her. Isn't that something?
There's a uhh... idk if I want to get into this. I think the whole "Alien chestburster" meme is very gay. It's like just gay and evil to, idk, COUNTERSIGNAL pregnancy. Women go through hell, but they do it for such a beautiful reason. Let's just move on or it'll never end.
"Don't call him gay, he's a commercial real estate broker" quote from my dad. That's funny, that's all. i will not explain it.
"Black metal band playing shitty music in front of a beautiful castle" uh. hm.... Zzzzzzz
"'The ever-shrinking god' argument from Atheists is false because new questions necessarily arise from new answers" Not complicated, not deep, it was just never a good argument.
"I love writing something, forgetting about it, and reading it again months later and cracking myself up" I'm so funny. HA-HAAAAAAA! Whatt else...
"AM radio" i guess i wanted to look into that "thing" going on with AM radios in cars, but i never did. i dont care, let's keep going...
"the host from The Atheist Experience dressed in a leather bdsm outfit speaking at a Satanist convention" i love this, but i keep-- im torn because as hilarious as it is, i rly dont want to be mean to the guy, i used to WATCH HIS SHOW every week, it's just so *perfect*, the uh... downward trajectory. But you know, it's not right to uh................. it wouldn't be right.
"The joker isnt" i was probably going to say the joker isn't cool, and that probably had something to do with the Vyzpzz. Okay that's enough.
that's it for now. we did good, right?
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz well, i hope you're having a good and a warm day. pls take care of yourself. God bless, fren.
09/04 And so life goes on,
day after day
With knick-knacks on the floor, nooks and crannies
I live in a tiny world
...
Hey fren, hope you're well today.
Today was Ethan Van Sciver's 50th birthday. Imagine being 50.
Where does the time go?
This video is 7 years old, isn't that crazy? What was even going on 7 years ago? I can barely remember last year. How'd you like to go back 7 years? Idk if I would actually, that's kinda when my life started going downhill after leaving my hometown lmao
Day after day.
Anyway that's the singer of Vision Divine, Ivan Giannini. 7 years ago he wasn't the singer of Vision Divine. I'd never have known about him if he hadn't joined them, I'm glad he did.
"this anime must be seen" What a bold statement, Ivan. I believe you.
I haven't been watching anything, I've just been playing vidya to distract myself from the constant pain that I'm in.
Muh "refurbished"(whatever that means) DS Lite came in today. It's in not-so-bad shape when I consider that it's what, at least 13 years old?
No thumbpad is RUFF, but I like it overall, it's. Small. I like small things.
I guess that anime is about a small girl, idk. Ivan said it must be seen, and I trust him because I like his singing.
I bet it has a sad ending though. Miyazaki, huh? What happened in Spirited Away, again... Dragonboy did say they'd meet again, right? That's not just something you SAY for fun, he surely meant it. Right? Of course he'd find... what's her name again? I can... didn't the witch call her Sen? But her name was... Chihiro I think. I'm not going to look it up, I'm gettigg a headache. Wow, look at the time. The clock's always ticking.
Uhh... that's all. ill ttyl. pls take care of yourself and. have a comfortable day. God bless, fren.

08/29 I'm afraid
I know you are unaware
But I'll tell you I'm afraid
I'm Afraid is another song from Genius: A Rock Opera. Is it related to this post at all? No, not really. I just remembered it because I randomly picked out this screenshot of Prince of Qin.
Actually lol watch me make it related.
The lyrics are choice Inglese, complete ASL. In the song, in the narration after the song. But you know what's nice about them? You understand the intention of every last line. Even look at Fu Su's dialogue in that screenshot. A little off, but for both I'm Afraid and Prince of Qin, I don't have to PONDER about the words for half an hour to figure out different things they could have possibly meant. That's called GOOD WRITING.
DUSTBORN on the other hand, is SHEEEEEEEIT. It's written like roight propah SHIT. And what do we do with sheeeit 'round these parts? We rewrite it.
Man, I'm listening to I'm Afraid rn, I hope you are too, it's such a good song. Daniel Gildenlow's voice is so beautiful. Idk any of the other singers, but they're good too. Especially the King--
King McChaos btw LOL. What a name.
In this song we also hear MAINDREAM, who I guess is like the leader of the uh... Dream Senate? And controls their military. Or, as Dustborn would call them, their Powerful Military Police.
Anyway, Maindream take-- talk about I'M AFRAID, there's a thunderstorm and I don't want to lose this friggin post.
Let's just get on with it already...
Here's the trash we'll be rewriting again. Let's look at it together, pls open it on the side and we'll dive right in.
Now if we assume the attempt was *aimed at John*, amd Jackie was killed as a result of it, my original rewrite doesn't work-- she wasn't assassinated, and even if *legally* she would have still been considered murdered, that's not the *message* we're trying to convey, so that's not what we're going to write.
The attempt was solely against John, *not* Jackie, or at least *primarily* John, with disregard for Jackie's life. And we're presuming that because it makes my life easier-- I'm surely putting more thought into this than the original writers.
So, with this new interpretation, what's wrong with the original script?
"after an assassination attempt killed his wife"
The emphasis here is placed not on the assassination attempt, but on it killing his wife. What, if the attempt *hadn't* killed his wife, he wouldn't have founded Justice? She was the straw that broke the camel's back?
More than any other interpretation I can think of, this actually makes the original script closest to not sucking. But does it not suck? No, it does still suck, and explaining John's spiral into a dark place isn't what we want to do with our limited space here *not matter what*.
So what's the message we want to convey? John founded Justice after an attempt on his life failed, and only killed his wife. The *entirety of the event* is the cause of him finding Justice, not *just* that it killed his wife. (That would need another new rewrite)
So let's do it then... We'll use my first rewrite as a base, since it's immediately superior.
"Justice is a federal police force established in 1964 by President John F. Kennedy following an assassination attempt against him which resulted in the death of his wife, Jackie.
After "The Broadcast" of (date), Justice placed the American Republic under martial law which has continued to this day."
There. That's it. This change makes it clearer that the founding of Justice wasn't after "an assassination attempt killed his wife" (with all the different ways there are to interpret that), but that the founding of Justice was after *an assassination attempt*, which happened to fail, and instead kill his wife. The focus can't be on the wife's death, it'd muddy how we're saying Justice was created.
Frankly, we miiiiiight even be able to take out the mention of Jackie's death entirely. How relevant is it? She's the President's wife, of course she's important, but WHY are we talking about JACKIE in the introduction to JUSTICE? How important to the story are you going to make John and Jackie? Are we ever even going to hear about them again?
No? In that case, scrap Jackie's death entirely. No, she *didn't* die, John just founded Justice after an assassination attempt on him. That's the ONLY motivation he'd need. His wife didn't have to die for him to have cause to create this new police force, and you're not even trying to tell me that her death really affected him so deeply that he became a dictator or created a baby-blue and white uniformed Natzee police force.
Unless you ARE trying to tell me that. But you know what? I've given this trash too much of my time.
That's all, fuck this writer. This was probably written by an entire team of "writers", actually. Imagine that team.
Anything else? Uhhh... idk, HP Longbottom later, maybe. I'll try. Imagine if I cared about my own writing as much as the slop in the video game I'm never even going to play.
Still, this was a fun post, right? It was good for me. Was it good for you?
I wonder what Genius song I can somehow post about next time? Only time will tell. Oh maaaan, I'm reading some of the story, it's just got so much HEART. There's a spirit to it that Dustborn-level writers will never get. And it's one that eludes me, too.
It's the thing that makes words beautiful.
Aiiiight, that's enough out of me for now. Ttyl. Pls take care and have a comfy day. God bless, fren.
08/23 long way down
Why are devices not designed to be held by humans?
I got a Galaxy tablet because they were on sale, and I'm always looking for an easier way to not-actually-draw-anything and it's neato, but holding on to it is like, insane.
How can something that weighs 0lbs and is the size of a notebook be so cumbersome? Because the entire thing is a screen that does things when your fingers touch it, that's why. So it might as well weigh a hundred pounds.
And it's so SLIPPERY too, why WHY IS EVERYTHING SO SLIPPERY? PHONES, TOO, but now I've got this BIG slippery thing(heh)
I think I'd have a harder time holding on to a bar of soap in a prison shower while larger men are actively trying to take it from me.
Anyway, i just downloaded the best-rated free drawing app and doodled this masterpiece real to start getting a feeeeel of things.
I was going to draw another character, but for some FOR SOME REASON, none of the selection tools were working in the app I was using-- uh... Sketchbook. Which is a shame because I was really liking it. But uhhh. Selection tools are pretty important.
So this is all I didlol. I briefly checked out "PENUP", this preinstalled one that... seeeems to be ok, but I have to get uuuused to it now, when I was just staaaarting to like Sketchbook, it's more invoooolved than Sketchbook.
Sketchbook is really neat. I wi-- OK, NOW it's working. Now I'm the asshole. But I PROMISE you, originally it wasn't.
I'm glad. PENUP seems fine, but I like uh, simplicity. I'm not an artist lmao, as you can see. I basically just want MS Paint, aaand uh... layers are nice, too. And Sketchbook has layers. So all good.
Iiii... you know, this isn't re-- I'm not saying I'm good, but I promise I'm better than this, it's jUST A DOODLE. I uh... lmao
Anyway, I'm going to try to draw more. But also uh, learn to draw better, not just like, retarded ugly shit that I've been doing my entire life. I WAS LEARNING before I moved and got sick. I was subbed tooo... Proko, aaand... that art mommy i cant remember who says to never use white backgrounds(edit: something-brak?), which i used here beecause I just wanted to make a quick shitty test doodle i promise.
I can draw some mean nude figures. dont ask me to draw clothes. or faces in profile. you know what? no faces, period. or hands. or uh, anything at all really.
Anyway i like this tablet, i need to getttt used to it. Sketchbook has a "your big man hands will not register accidental lines" modes, so that's cool. uhhh... you think this was just a retard-buy and im not actually going to draw more? hmm. well I'll show you! I'm gonna live out my elementary school dreams and GIT GUD at art, you'll see! i've got nothing better to do rn, i can barely do anything. doctor visit was pretty good today, in 3 months they're goingg go camera down muh throat if I'm not feeling better. i had that done to me as a kid, it wasn't that bad. uh. i just want to feel better, that's all.
Anything else? speaking of retard buys, i got Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince on switch because it was like the last ooooone. aaaaaaaaand, im enjoying 1 so muuuuuuuuuch, i figured i better just get this because, you know, the world is going to end soon anyway and it wont be possible to order things from amazon for a while after the Imperial Russo-Chinese Army conquers us, despite the best efforts of our trans drone operators saying "that's such a gemini thing"
i dont care. it doesnt matter
Since I've been writing so much of the stupid HP Longbottom story, that rly good song from The Evil Within popped in my head-- Long Way Down
suuuuuuuch a good song. Good game, too. Not great, but maybe really good. A lot done right. I don't like gore, at all, but it had a solid amount of psychological & ghostgirl horror too, the two most important kinds. It was an experience.
I didn't play much of 2, my PC at the time couldn't handle it well, and idk if it can now, but I can't be bothered to download a howevermanygig game when I'm perfectly content with classic game and anime girl games under 10gigs. actuallyryza2and3arealotmorebutillcrossthatbridge
uhhh... that's it, right? im so tired. i think my head hurts.
oh uhtrhftgh lets see... wizardwaifubro has ch3 of Mil-Sim Story so that'll be nice. and lesserwordbro posted a bunchofstuff ill seelater
im gonna go, i dont feel great. i feel like uh, this girl lmao i have a headache a bit, and my stomach, as always, hurts, so imgonna gooooooooo aaaand... ill ttyl, right?
pls take care and have a comfortable day. pls pray for me if you want.
God bless,fren
08/17 save me from my destiny
We just can't
Change the event
I'm so sorry my friend
But no, we can't change your fate
Hey friend, I hope you're feeling well today. I hope I can focus on writing this, I'm actually listening to the song Save Me From My Destiny.
It's from a rock opera about a guy trapped in the world of dreams. The song's about a doll who's doomed to be destroyed-- she's going to be used for a dream, like everyone and everything else.
The girl's voice is beautiful. So is the main character-- I don't remember the singer who plays him. But his uh... I forgot what they're called, but the guy who's in charge of his dreams is voiced by Daniel Gildenlow from Pain of Salvation. He's got an amazing voice, it was my favorite band in high school.
I wanted to uhh... before I forget, let me give you a POKéUPDATE, that's really important.
I used mGBA to trade with myself a little LOL. So I don't know for sure, but this might be the first time I've ever had an Alakazam or a Gengar. That feels weird, like SURELY I must have had them before somehow, right? But I legitimately don't remember any trades I made with any friends. I only knew a fewww people who had a link cable. One was--oh, my friend STEVEN. He wassss... a good guy. He looked out for me when I was young. I always felt cool because I got to hang out with the older kids. We lost touch before high school though. I loved going over to his house, he had anotherrr friend who was a little older than him, and I thought he was the coolest guy in the world. I remember we were playing Ocarina of Time at that guy's house, and he noticed I was staring at Saria a little too long and he 100% correctly said "You've got a crush on her." I denied it, and he didn't press me even though he knew. How could he blame me anyway, Saria is perfect.
Uh... Pokemon? Was that what I wa-- oh, I was going to like, title this post "SOMAmon" or something, and talk about people's struggle to save their Pokemon from dying. I wrote about that in HP Longbottom earlier lol.
I understand the sentiment. Like if I had a very easy choice of 2 buttons to press, 1 of them just made a copy of my Pokemon to a new machine, while the other one "ackshually" MOVED *them*, not just a perfect copy of them. Whatever that means for data.
Obviously we all want the original.
I think Pokemon's a great little ... example of the issue that the great game SOMA tackles: copying yourself vs moving yourself. And others, too.
In SOMA, people's brains are copied and pasted into robots and servers for the preservation of Humanity(kinda, but long story). It's a totally seamless experience for the copy, they had no idea it happened. But the person who was copied still is going to die. Like a Pokemon in a Gen 1 or 2 cartridge when the battery dies, unless they're somehow moved to a new cart or a PC. And even then, we have to face the question of "lol wat, this is just data."
Even if you want to tell me that "someday, totally" human brains will be copyable to create sentient mind-clones of us, you cannot tell me that my Gengar has feelings.
And if my Gengar doesn't have feelings, what's the real difference between me having an "original" that's "kept alive" by a Gameboy cartridge, or a convenient copy of him on a PC? No, first of all, he's a GHOST Pokemon anyway. Okay? He's not alive by definition. And I don't believe we can copy SOULS, which suggests to me that no-matter what, my Gengar willmao forget it, I don't know *or* really care. I'm not a person who cares about preserving Pokemon, I don't know how someone ends up like that, but I thank God it didn't happen to me. That's got to be exhausting, life is already full of people dying on you. Everyone we love is going to die, and we won't get to see them for maybe many years. Just copy the Pokemon. And hey, copy the brain too? Well? That's another question for another day. Ikinda wasted a SOMApost on Pokemon.
I'm a little out of it. I have a ton of problems with my stomach lol, that's all. And it's drastically been screwing up my quality of life, and it's really hard coping with it. So uh, save *me* from my destiny. I'm -- whatever. I'm fffffff. I'll be fine. I don't know.
Hey, I got a Gengar though. AND an Alakazam. Isn't that neat? I made a backup of the saves they're on, since they're not humans, they're Pokemon.
I'll ttyl, I forgot to get a random question, so we'll do a special one next time or something. Thaaat's all. REMEMBER TO WATCH UFC TODAY! Yandex is a really good search engine. Picks? idk, I don't really care. I want Li Jingliang to win, but idk if he can. Gamrot v Hooker, I like them both but I think GAMER GAMROT, uhhh Steve Erceg the most Italian man in the world is going to brutalize Kara-France, and because the UFC isn't an actual sport organization, it's sports-entertainment, Israel "Dog Rapist" Adesanya, who had servants growing up, is going to win in spectacular fashion over the evil yt pig-fit Porky Pig piggy wiggy pink skin colonizer Dricus Du Plessis. You can just feel it lmao the UFC is pushing him SO HARD in all the promos. They'll get their return on investment. And because Izzy is a "child of the Earth", not an African like Dricus, the UFC will never have to waste money going to Africa after all :')
OH, uh, Wizardbro, WizardPerspective started a new story on his other site. It's very comfy and cute. Hopefully he keeps writing more of it, he's not like me, a cowardly faggot who's scared of being genuine.
KK that's enough outta me.
Pls take care of yourself, aaaand. have a warm day. God bless, friend.
08/15 give me some credit
just killed a gnat against my monitor so im really happy now. gave me a bit of a second wind.
hey fren, i hope you're well today.
how about a ... you know what? Something has to change for me to continue updating my website. It's way too freaking tiring, the way I'm doing things now.
[a paragraph complaining about my method of updating my site]
God save me, I'm such a wreck.
sorry, what do you want to ta-- uh... how about a random question? let's see...
"If you could have dinner with any three fictional characters, who would you choose and why?"
hmm. that's a good question. Before we answer it, how about a POKéUPDATE??
I beat Erika, who is of course arguably Best Girl. Those Bellsprouts and Weepingfucks are BRUTAL with their freaking WRAP! Wtf, I never remembered having such desperate fights, they were giving my Charmeleon the business. Ember kinda sucks, so there's that. Dig works deceeeent, because they're uh... Poison types, right?... hm. anyway I beat her. Next is... who, Sabrina? Other Best Girl. It's one or the other. It can't be Misty. They actually DOWNGRADED Misty from Red/Blue. Get rid of her bikini to give her her anime clothes, fine. But now she's not even showing armpit. Miserable.
They barely changed any other sprites. Only... Brock and Blue/Gary I thiiiink. Gary looks like a retard compared to his orginal-- his original "final fight" one, he's dressed in a cool jacket and he actually looks like he's aged from the beginning of the game. As if you guys have had a long journey and you've necessarily matured traveling all around the country beating the shit out of hundreds of other trainers. He really looks like a champion. In Yellow, he's the same as always, just posing differently. TERRIBLE.
Brock's change is funny. They just put his shirt and vest on him, whereas originally he was shirtless. The shirtless look was cool, but his anime clothes are pretty neato.
Okay, enough is enough, let's answer the question.
3 fictional characters to dine with? I'm not going to just pick the 3 characters from Fire Emblem Three Houses even though they immediately came to mind.
Oh MAAAAAAAAN, Three *Hopes* has been soOoooooOOOoooooO much fun to play.
They really freakin nailed it, making it so much like Three Houses. The upgrades to your characters are just constant and feeeel goooood, you do everything through a camp instead of just menuing, you can give characters "battalions" that can get rid of their weapon disadvantages or increase their advantages, you're not trapped on your mounts, so Pegasus or Wyvern riders can hop off, safely rpe an archer, and hop back on,
uhhhh... I've got a gril who's best at magic, but she also has a crest to wield a big fat magic hammer so I'm training her in that now too even though that's not her specialty.
It really makes you feeeeeeeel like you're playing a Fire Emblem game.
Bernie is best girl. Bernie's also the name of my financial advisor, who is not a cute shy girl with messy hair. Life is strange.
DC mentioned a data leak, but it doesn't really look so bad. Like most of it's already-leaked stuff, a lot of it's dupes, like Zzzzzzz whatever. I'm really unconcerned about anything at this point in life, but also uh... just keep an eye on your credit. Also I always think about the time my friend couldn't buy a new TV because his bank thought it was suspicious lmao and it makes me feel at least sometimes our beloved bankers are good for something, and that's keeping our money safe. Even from ourselves. There's no way my Guardian Anjew is going to let some faggot in Eastern Europe make a withdrawal from me.
Idk, do the credit bureaus have a process for victims of fraud to restore their credit? Let's see... okay, they do. Of course they do, I've just never had to use one, thank God.
Hmm... I guesssssss in a worst-case scenario, like if you're relentlessly being targeted for some reason instead of randomly eating shit, you could change your name or somethin-- YOOOO you can actually change your SSN? I never knew that. I love that. There's always a solution for every problem. That used to be my motto before I got sick and became a shell of a man lmao
You know, sometimes our government is preddy cool.
Enough. I'll let you go. 3 fictional characters to eat with? What a stupid question uhhhhh... idk, my own characters: Skeleton Sacramento, Benjamin Grueber, and Zhang Bang
TTYL. pls take care. aaand. have a. comforting day. God bless, fren
08/14 Pokemon & UFC
hey, i hope you're feeling well today.
anything you wanna... how about a random question...
If you could have any animal, real or mythical, as a pet, what would it be and why?
good question. Before we answer it, how about a POKéUPDATE?? Maybe that's even related.
uhhh... I clobbered Lt. Surge in Yellow. He only had a Raichu, which iirc is different than Red/Blue, I thought he uesd to have more. I don't remember the anime, but did he *only* have a Raichu in it? I guess. But-- ah, whatever.
Idk how to cope with Pikachu refusing to evolve. Raichu was so great, and won't Pikachu haaaave lower stats? idk, im not autistic enough to actually know anything about Pokemon stats, type effectiveness has always carried me. I don't want to remove Pikachu from the party, that'd be MEAN. So I'll just work around him... lightning beats water, but I have muh Bulbasaur now too... aaand... Flying? What else beats flying... Ice, which I'll never use... and Rock. I can... eh... I don't want to have a Rock type, I already have Char to DIG... hm. Maybe I'll... ah, whatever.
I wonder if muh rival ever evolves his Eevee. I hope so, so I can give him a taste of the rival treatment...
ohh that's cool, you decide how he evolves it by winning/losing certain battles against him. I'll end up with him having a Jolteon...
Fire's ...effeeeective against electric, but not super effective, right? i'd rather him have a Flareon so I could humiliate him with a Vaporeon.
ok ok whatever. uhhh.. eh.
Pokemon. is fun, I've been enjoying bouncing back and forth a bit between gen 1 and 2. I'd liiiiike to get into the newer ones, but -- for example, X's camera is like, disgusting. It's like SM64 bad. Maybe there's a way to ... ... use it better i uh........... hm. and you freaking ROLLERBLADE with the thumbstick, which would be cool if you had a CHOICE but YOU DONT have a choice andafrgogoijsroijgrrr
im just being pointlessly whiny, sorry lmao.
i think ill try to get into Pokemon X a bit more. i wish i hadnt missed out on like... all the others, but i never had a DS until the Majora remake. i missed like everything. what a tragedy. oh woe is me, I missed out on some games as a kid.
before we answer the random question, UFCCCCCCCCCCC THIS WEEKEND. Dricus Deuihefplefusesis vs Israel Adesanya. How exciting.
The entire card's full of good fights, so it's gonna be fun. I'll spare you my full picks, though.
I'll be rooting for Dricus since he's apparently a Christian, and also Izzy hates White people so fuck him, BUT
if Dricus lost, it'd make MMAGuru really upset, so that would be really funny. BUT... it'd also be funny for him to be happy, so whatever. Uhhhhhhh... idk
Dricus didn't beat Strickland. I watched him lose the fight and be given the belt anyway, so it's a little worrying that he'll be fighting Izzy. It'd be one thing if he clobbered outclassed Strickland the way Strickland did Izzy, but he didn't. He lost. Being as generous as possible: he *barely* won. So surely Izzy will be able to take advantage of Dricus's Captain Underpants style where he's barging forward like the local barge, right?
People forget man, Whitaker was BEATING Dricus until he got the takedown at the end of r1. Then sure, Dricus clobbered Rob and broke his will. He's SO strong, but the point is his defense isn't exactly great. Strickland made him look like a battered woman, you looked at him after their fight and your male instincts kicked in and you got mad at Strickland like how could he beat up a gir-- oh wait, that's the new middleweight champion, and he's a man?
BUT... idk, maybe he'll be able to pre-- i really don't know, actually. I was worried for Strickland every second of his fight with Izzy until the bell rang at the end, and he made Izzy miss around 90% of his shots.
And I don't know what the number was, but Dricus certainly did NOT make Strickland miss 90% of his shots on him.
Spooky stuff. Whatever happens, it'll be a great night of fights. I hope you'll watch with me!
Anywayyyyyy... I could go on forever about whatever, so let's just wr--
oh the RANDOM QUESTION? idk, are we going to end up in an ET situation where the government steals my pet to murder and dissect it? Hopefully not. A mythical creature... Oh, lemme get a fairy like Navi. She can live in my hat and nag me to get more work done, keep reminders for me, and teach me how to move large blocks and open doors by paying attention to what the Action Icon says
ok im gone. ill ttyl. pls take care of yourself and have aaaa. comforting day. God bless, fren
08/11 What it do, Pikachu??
yes, i am reusing the Shi pic again. it's relevant!
hey fren, i hope you're well today.
What am i going to blog at you today about?...
Pokemon , My Phone , Comicsgate , UFC
Today our random question issss...
If you could travel to any fictional world from a book, movie, or video game, where would you go and what would you want to do there?
THAT's a great question. While we're thinking about that, let me gibs you my heckin' POKéUPDATE.
I decided last night to catch Mew for the first time. The "glitch"(I'm believing it was intentional) is incredibly easy to perform. Have an Abra, walk into a guy's sight and press start as you land on the next tile so you can get in the menu before you trigger him. Teleport. walk back, battle another specific trainer close by, teleport, walk back, bam, Mew appears. That's SO freaking cool. I LOVE that. This was like, our childhood, the myth of Mew. Sure, there were Gameshark shits to do it, but only WEIRDOS actually had Gamesharks. With this you don't even NEED it: There Mew is, there it always was, right on the cartridges. After you catch him, there's even an actual spot for him in your Pokedex. I thought that it was just discovered a few years ago, but no, people were doing this 20 freaking years ago. I had no idea. How could I have? What was the state of the Internet 20 years ago... It was still pretty young. What was I doing around then? I was probably too busy looking at porn and playing Halo. Pokemon? That's for KIDS, man. Now here I am, having finally checked another box of my childhood dreams.
I'm not even keeping Mew in my party LOL.
I don't know if I'll play through Yellow-- I did literally just do Red, what am I, insane? I do really like the little additions and stuff, though. Like just being able to get all the starters is just LOL. The Ash Ketchum Experience.
I did a bit of Pokemon Emerald, but something that's been bugging me that I never realized is that there's no day/night cycle. That SUCKS. In Gold/Silver, the day/night cycles are extremely cool. Maybe there's a haaaaack for it, but you know, there shouldn't have to be. Walking around at night in Silver was-- night time just looks SO COOL. Ok ok...
My phone? Muh Razr? It got an obnoxious blue line down the side of it. This apparently "just happens" sometimes, whether you drop it or not, so RIP Razr. It was a very neat phone. It still works perfectly fine, but. You know, there's a big blue freaking line down the side of it. So I switched back to my old one. I still love the idea of the folding phone, bringing back that flipppp action, reducing the size in your pocket, but if this is a common issue for them, that's just no good. I'll cope with a giant phone that can't fold instead.
COMICSGAAAAAATE? My excuse for re-using Shi? Billy Tucci's going to be launching a new Shi campaign next month. Isn't that exciting? I still have a lot to catch up on, though. I'll probably back it anyway, I love Shi. A comic that can appease both the Weeb AND the Christian? It's just great. I rly need to catch up though x_x uhhhh... there's a Comicsgate auction going on rn, a lot of cool stuff.
There's one guy's stuff I don't really like. He just draws... Muhammad. Waow. He auctioned off a picture of Muhammad kissing another man. And besides me not hating Muslims enough to buy gay porn, it just wasn't even that good. It's just uh. Shit. That's his schtick as an artist, anti-Muslim stuff. And he's a former Muslim, so at least he has... that. But it reminds me of when I hated Christianity when I was a former-Christian. Would I want to uh... dedicate my life to drawing gay porn of Jesus? Even at my lowest, probably not. That's all. I dunno, his art's kinda shit and his comic is stupid. And he complains about getting death threats from Muslims, but lmao I have no choice but to victim-blame you, like cry me a fucking river. I w-- and this is me being a sinner but I often I do wish Christians had that level of rage for faggots who blaspheme against Christ. I'm not going to hope you get you get beheaded, I'll pray against that actively, but no, I don't care that when you draw gay porn of Muhammad a Muslim DMs you a mean message. That's all. You can at least live with the mean message, stop crying out in pain as you strike them. Like if you're going to draw Muhammad and also want me to feel bad for you when you get death threats, don't draw him kissing men, draw him like, idk "respectfully", like a *nice* painting, even if you're still not supposed to even do that. Then I can pity you.
It reminds me of when Destiny was insulting Muslims and then his soyjak fans were crying that Nick Fuentes and the Groypers weren't defending him. It's just totally a "What the fuck do you think this is" kinda thing. Gay liberal atheists who hate Christians for some reason are dumbstruck when Christian Conservatives won't defend them from Muslims. "B-but i thought you liked freedom of speech..." Ermm, ackshuallyyy, that only liiike, applies to the gooovernmentttt, ummm freedom of speech doesnt mean freedom from consequences, incel :^)
The rest of the auction's been really cool. A lot of great art.
Uhhhhhh... UFC?
Lucas Tracy quit YouTube, which is really tragic. Despite half of his takes being terrible, he was the best MMA YouTuber that there was. Dark days ahead. Rigo's the new TOP Christian MMAtuber, but he's a little too schizo sometimes. MMAGuru's now the undisputed king of MMA YouTube, but he's a little divisive. He's just a liiiiittle bit racist, which is funny but sometimes he gets too upset when a Dagestani wins lmao. He's less funny when he's mad. I MISSED THE MAIN EVENT last night, i passed out lmao. the card wasnt even thaaaaat bad i was just tired. I'm so glad Spivak got the W, he's been so underrated just because he lost to Gane! He freaking ragdolled Derrick Lewis like a woman, and everyone just forgot. Jailton Al..almemieeida was able to hold Lewis down, but couldn't do *anything else* and everyone thought that was a threat to the entirety of the heavyweight division. Spivak subbed him in like, 1 minute, but nooo he lost to Ciryl Gane so ermmm he's trash.SHADDUP.
MMA is such a gay, fake sport. Especially heavyweight, but none of it matters, it's all just fat guys getting fluke ko's.
that's all. Well. What was our question again?
"If you could travel to any fictional world from a book, movie, or video game, where would you go and what would you want to do there?"
This is too hard. I'm going to choose to not think about it at all, and just say POKEMON, I'd just be a trainer juuuuust always camping, traveling town to town, and uh somehow surviving. Maybe I'd settle down in a town with a Lass and teach new trainers how to throw balls.
How about you?
KK the post is done, it's waaaaaaay too long, sry. uhh... idk, new format, i wanna ... do a . nwzzzzzz
ill ttyl. pls take care aaand have a warm day. God bless, fren
08/09 which do you like better?
hey fren, i hope yooooure. feeling well today.
Today's DAILY ASK is... let's see...
"If you could instantly master any skill or talent, what would you choose and how would you use it?"
good question. before we answer that, and also maybe >pic related, let's talk about POKEMON.
I finished Red. Almost comically easy. You know, 1 of your Pokemon can basically take out an entire Elite's team. Raichu for the ice bitch, Vaporeon for the Rock/Fighting goon, Spooky Ghost Lady was the scariest, but Raichu *still* handled business with the glory of THUNDER WAVE. +swapping out if he gets hit with Confusion, and it's ez pz.
Thennn... Lance? Lance's Dragonairs were actually a little ruff. Thunderbolt was "not very effective"??? I always thought... ...I don't know what I thought. ButWhatever,
Raichu carried my entire team lmao. Even if he didn't have the type-advantage, sometimes it was just beneficial to set em up with a nice THUNDER WAAAAAAAAVE. Beautiful.
Okay, that's that. I might uh... do Pokemon Crystal. Not Crystal Clear, but Crystal. Or maybe just... Gold. I had Silver as a kid, and I liked Lugia more but Ho-Oh is really cool, isn't it?
remember how it was in episode 1, and we're like WHAAAAAAAAAAT? THAT'S NOT ONE OF THE 150 POKEMON WHAT IS THAT
for me, i was so young that that was like, SIGNIFICANT. like a genuine mystery, instead of just "oh, well obviously it's one they'll introduce later". No, I didn't have the ... concept of that in my head yet, so it was a MYSTERY, it was very special. So maybe I'll play Gold this time. Or wait... i never remember the difference between Crystal and the others... 1 sec...
oh you can get Ho-Oh AND Lugia in Crystal lmao awesome. ok ok, that's a no-brainer.
I also like that Crystal actually let you play as a girl. I don't think i did as a kid, beyond just starting with her to see what she looked like.
What are YOUR thoughts on the "guys choosing to play as a female" debate? are those guys secretly tra-- no, that's not it. For an obvious reason. You can't secretly be something that... you know... doeszzzzanyway.
i saw it suggested the other day that male-choosers are just too autistic to roleplay as someone who isn't them. That hurts but I also might be willing to buy it a little. I *do* just play "as myself" in games, unless I'm purposefully doing a memerun. it's my default, i dont LIKE not playing as me. idk if i DISlike it, but it's just what I do naturally. I like being myself. What if female-choosers don't have a strong sense of identity, or don't like themselves? idk what the answer is. i just know that i dont care and am willing to accept "i like looking at girls' butts". That's understandable.
in Touhoumon, you just ARE a girl and can choose to be a tomboy or a girlish girl. I -- have i talked about it yet? later. uh, i absolutely love it so far, but idk how i want to play it & cover it in posts. so LATERRRRRR
anything else?
Nick Rekieta got his kids back, which is great. Very happy for him. As time went on it became more and more obvious that the only real "abuse" going on was that he was indeed hooked on coke. Not good, but uh, you dont destroy a family for that, you just get rid of the coke. Him getting them back is especially significant because it demolishes--well, ALL of the child abuse claims, but in particular that suspicious positive drug test from the kids-- if he had actually been giving them coke, he wouldn't have gotten them back. The test was one of those bullshit hair tests and kiwifarms was insisting "he's giving his kids massive amounts of coke". That never seemed likely to sane people, but now we know that it didn't happen.
so good for Nick. He dragged Josh Moon on stream today which was pretty funny. Josh and Kiwifarms are just shit now. He's like lost his marbles from living in the tunnels of the moscow metro system, and the farms are just mostly mentally ill men and fat women being way too emotionally invested in coming up with fantasies about e-celebs they hate. I still respect Josh's ... *resiliance*, but he's just completely autistic and has no sense of like... reality.
anywaaaaaaaay... wanna answer our question? ANY SKILL OR TALENT?
Well? How about being able to play an instrument? That's good. maybe the piano or violin? or maybe something with a little less competition, like an obnoxious brass instrument, so you can play in a fancy orchestra?
or is the mastery so complete that you'd be undeniable no matter the competition? Hmm...
bleh, programming probably counts in this too, right? what's going to net you more dollary-doos, being able to play the piano, or being able to write a program that can do aaaanyth-- you know what... no, there's a social/pleasure aspect to consider.
give me the piano. so i can just play for people and myself. that'd be nice.
What about you?
Finally, tomboy. there's probably something childish in preferring them, but -- you know what, maybe not. i just had a thought but im TIRED lets go
ok. are we done with hte bloggggggggggg...
im getting strangely tired. i might say exhaaustewfgage
ill ttyl. pls take care of yourself. aand have a warm day. God bless, fren
08/08 rate my Pokemon team
pic unrelated
hey fren, i hope youre well toooday.-- gimme a sec, ill brb...
kk im back. i just listened to a horrible story from Ethan Van Sciver of having to go to the bathroom in Honduras.
Imagine how easy and fun life would be if you never had to go to the bathroom, ever.
That should be the goal of humanity, not stupid shit like "living on Mars". What are we going to do on Mars? just fill it with more SHEEEEEEEEITTTT.
I've been thinking about a uh... you know. having a daily question for the DAILY ASKER. So it's not just me rambling, right? Isn't that an idea? Wanna try it out?
Well, but first lemme give you my Pokemon Red progress, i know you're really interested!
So my team isss... a Vaporeon named Eve, because I needed to evolve my Eevee because I needed to just get rid of a Moon Stone and free up inventory space. It was a good move though, I didn't have a water type anyway and Vaporeon's the best gen 1 evolution for Eevee. It's cool-looking, nevermind that copypasta. What elseee... a Venusaur named... Sour. Uh. whatever, it gets the job done. My Raichu named Taira. Thunder Wave is my favorite move ever, it's so useful lol. uhhhh... a Nidoking named... Nido. Because I needed to teach someone Strength. That's the only reason. A DUGTRIO?! My first time ever having one in my party. And ALSO my first time ever making good use of DIG. I never knew how INCREDIBLY USEFUL Dig is! I was always a Teleportcel. And that's great, you know, I love Abra and Kadabra. But DIIIIIIGGGGG?! DIIIIIIIGGGGGG is great! For starters-- Dugtrio was whatever level my other mon were at, like 30 or something. So a perfect fit. Yoink. Now I can effectively teleport *WHENEVER I ACTUALLY NEED TO*. Right? When do you need to get back to a Pokemon Center? When you're in a freakin cave or dungeon. And that's when you can dig. I don't need to warp to a Pokemon Center if I'm just on the road, I can just... walk down the road lmao.
So Dugtrio's been a great addition. Happy to have him.
And.. lastlyyy. An Articuno, who just replaced my Pidgeot. Articuno was always my favorite of the 3 birdos. Zapdos looks obnoxious and Moltres's color is bleh.
Sooooo. That's all. I clobbered Giovanni with my Vaporeon, I rped my rival, whose name is Jackoff, aaaand... now I have to uh. Go to the... Elite 4... zzzzzzzzzz
anything else...
ill spare you. uhhh...
I got a random question to answer, wanna do that? Let's see...
"If you could have dinner with any fictional character, who would it be and why?
"
lmao Nick Rekieta got his kids back. Kiwitroons must be losing their fucking minds rn. im not following the happenings, i just heard it on Trashcast. ok ok...
FICTIONAL CHARACTER?
well? how about... well for starters, presumably, we'll be having the dinner OUTSIDE of their story, right? and then, what, am i never going to see the fictional character again? so it has to really count, and be... it sounds kinda gay to say "beneficial", but it's one dinner, it's not like there's any chance we can be friends, right? so... how about...lmao how about dinner with a time-traveler or psychic who can give me lottery numbers?
no, im being a sicko. Let's just easy-mode this, im thinking too much. Can't be a woman, because i dont want to catch feels. fictional MEN. who'd be fun to talk to? inspirational? dont say "Gandalf", that's just cheap. really dig de-- okay, lemme look at my shelf, ill brb...
got it, I'd have dinner with Ender Wiggin when he's an adult.
On his own, it'd be great to talk to him, since he's basically the most empathetic person in the Universe and wouldn't allow me to ruin the dinner with my bad attitude, but he might also have Jane in his ear, so that'd be helpful if I had any burning questions. Questions I can't think of right now.
There, I answered the question. What about you? Do you have a fictional character you'd have dinner with? Let me know in comments below, and don't forget to like, comment, and subzxgrtrthrthshrt
anyway ill ttyl. pls take care of yourself. aaand have a comfortable day. God bless, fren
08/06 A Christian should argue with a blasphemer
by wearing a bunny hood and running around him in circles until he dies like a giant eyeball from Mario 64. or a snowman.
hey - im gonna write words.
uhjuuuhhg
lemme see here... -- hello. i hope youre having a good one.
this is a screen from "The Missing Link" hack. It's extremely good. BUT you know what's interesting?
you never see this girl close-up in the original game, you can only see her running around from that distant camera in the castle town marketplace. right? correct me if im being retarded and my memory is bad. but im SO sure you never see her close up.
and it's a good thing because look how STUPID her mouth looks.
cute girl chasing a cucco from a distance, ELDTRICH-LIPPED MONSTROSITY up close?
something i greatly appreciated was that the characters have different dialogue when you talk to them with the bunny hood, just like the real game. something i appreciated even MORE was that it 1- lets you run fast like in majora but also 2- let's you JUUUUMPPP FAAAAARRRRR-- that's so cool. great mod.
uhhhhhhhh... im a little...
anyway. Pokemon? lmao. i got the silph scope, sooooo. i guess ill go back to Lavender Town and get me a gastly. oh nooooooo lmao i -- hmm... you know what's kinda lame? or rather, very lame? trade-evolutions lmao. I BARELY had enough friends when I was a child to cope with trade-evolutions, what am I supposed to do NOW lmfao. hey, are YOU playing Pokemon red or blue right now? lemme know so i can trade you a Haunter so it can become a freaking gengar so you can give him back to me.
im just kidding, im not as upset as i sound lol. i dont care at all actually, i dont even like Gengar. I loooooove Haunter. He was likeee, idk, maybe my first Pokemon card. I remember being in the store with my mom and she got me my first pack of cards. those were good days.
the rare in that pack was a Raichu. I had no idea about rarity though, so I traded it for an Ivysaur because I liked the way he looked more. i wasnt happy when i found out i got screwed lmao but i got over it pretty quickly.
So many uh... 2nd-forms are better than the 3rd. Ivysaur is sleek and cool. Venusaur looks like a... lunchlady. or like that ... receptionist from Monsters Inc.
Wazooooowwwwskiiiiiiiiiiii i didnt like that movie as a kid. at all. idk why. i'd probably likke it more now.
you know what i st...
..
i watched the first episode of the Sopranos. it was good. it made me miss New Jersey.
New Jersey is one of the greatest states, it's so . nice. ok im gonna go
...
im kinda........................ i want to write something better for you later. idk if i can though, but it's in my . mind. ill ttyl
God bless, fren
08/01 punch me daddy
hey frem hope ur well today.
im alive atm. dont tell anyone. having a bit of a rough time, but i guess i should count my blessings since im not a woman having to box a man
all Italians are born boxers, but that doesn't change that untrained men still punch harder than trained women. That's called science, and it's something everyone loves.
out of every sport, what a --im not going to call it funny, it'd be funny if it wasn't an Italian woman getting bodied. Or any Azn woman. Any other woman, it'd be funny i guess , but it's NOT funny!
Out of all sports, it has to be the sport that's just "punching someone" lmao
at least in something like Chess, there's still a huge amount of people who believe "Well, men don't have an advantage here, so this is OK!" but in the sport where the differences in physicality are the most *visible*, there's just uh... it's just goofy.
You or I could roll out of bed drunk and gorilla hammerfist KO any woman on planet Earth like Donkey Kong, unless she knows some wacky BJJ move and lucks her way into some magical armbar-- but um, there's no submissions in boxing lmfao it is LITERALLY WORSE than that black guy and the pink haired guy who fought women in MMA, the women of boxing have to OUTPUNCH men now.
I think a lot of people, includingg myself, saw the MMA shit and were like "oh come on, this is just as bad as it gets!"
NO IT WASN'T, WE FORGOT ABOUT BOXING.
oh well. uhhhhhhh... the problem will correct itself one way or another. It happening at the Olympics isn't special. The institution of the Olympics does not actually have the ability to grant legitimacy to men punching women's heads off. The people who set the match up might have thought it does, but since it doesn't, you--YOU can rest assured you won't see too many Olympic men v women boxing matches going forward. Don't believe me? When was the last time that ex-Special Forces guy fought in women's MMA? It was 3 years ago. That's called "can't get a fight". What happened after the black guy "Fallon Fox" actually lost to uh... Ashley Evans Smith and she spoke out about him? He never fought again.
"Men trying to compete with women in sports" is not something I follow closely, because that's exhausting and retarded, but when that dude was swimming against girls and clobbering them? Yeah, of COURSE eventually he was going to get banned.
There might not be a lot, but there are actual indignities that society won't allow women to suffer.
Anywayyyyy... who cares? some people think it's funny and root for the guys. i think for the non-combat sports it's funny. but I also understand how much it must suck to see like, a blemish on your sports record that Wikipedia will never, ever, add an asterisk to that says "lost to a man".
wort wort wort
uhhhh... vidya? wanna talk about vidya?
dood, i was just in a random mood and i put in Fire Emblem Three Hopes, even though I haven't beaten Three Houses, because im not in a turn-based mood rn, i want to swing mah sword around, and i forgooot that Three Hopes is DEEEEEEEPPPPPP
It's practically a normal Fire Emblem game, just with musou combat, everything else is the same-- equipment levels, class and skill trees,
the first Fire Emblem Warriors had a veryyyy basic level of that to where it was primarily a Warriors game with a Fire Emblem theme, now it's almost the other way around. It's really cool actually, but also MUH BRAIN no work so good i feel like i was just boxing someone who's much faster and more powerful than me and he punched me in the head a bunch of times.
Zzzzzzzzz
i never finished Age of Calamity, it was good, but like Three Hopes, it kinda moved away from moar open-ended Warriors gameplay to a uh... more "move forward" kinda level and mission design.
i remember Zelda had a really inspiring speech when she like brought all the nations together under her as queen, and it was just hYPEEEEEEEEEE
am i done typing? i guess so. ill ... can i eat? maybe im hungry
ill ttyl, pls take care of yourself.aaaaaaaand. have a comforting day
God bless, fren
07/25 what are ya gonna dooo
when josiemania comes for 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.
