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.

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

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.
