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.

07/16

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.
