borrow the right of way
hey hey. i hopeyourewell. im okay. im sick, but im alive. achy/sore, cold, but im sweating it out. i think
where do you wanna start?
borrow the right of way to attacc the neighbor
Gramps talks about Cortes BRILLIANTLY making allies and traveling through the land of its neighboring tribes to attack the Aztecs.
gramps starts kvetching about the Catholic Church after the conquest, and Ana's mom gets offended. Ana seemingly takes gramps's side by telling her that she's going to listen to whatever gramps wants to tell her.
...
now, I actually owe an apology to the Jewish author of the story, because I was SEETHING lol "Well well well, of COURSE he wrote it like this..."
and MY PREJUDICE, however fairly or not it may have been built, literally blinded me to reality for a minute, and I'll show you how.
I believed that the story ended with this line at the bottom of the page:
"Well said, Ana." Grandfather proclaimed when she was gone. "I believe you have vanquished her at last."
That's the last line. And I would be 100% correct to be mad if it ended there.
WHAT I DIDN'T SEE was that the story ACTUALLY CONTINUES on the next page:
"I haven't done anything of the sort!" I snapped, and leaped to my feet. "All I did was let her know that I refuse to be forced to choose between the two of you. I'm telling you the same thing. It so happens that I am a Christian. I worship the God my mother has taught me about, and nothing you say will change that. I wish you would stop trying!" I ran from the room, just pausing to toss off, "And I wish you'd understand me well enough to know that without my having to tell you!"
From that day on they were both far more careful about fighting in front of me. Perhaps I had vanquished them both.
DAAAAAAAMN. now *that's* a proper end.
that kind of formatting--gramps ending the page, then her retort at the start of the next--is so ... perfect, I actually think it's God trying to remind me to not turn into an irrational wignat in an eternal state of seething hatred.
how EASILY I criticize those "retard wignats", and then I just fall into the same kind of mindset. very little charity.
I maintain I'd be COMPLETLY right if the story ended with gramps declaring victory--her Christianity is central to her character--but that's the thing, it DIDN'T. and I was so quick, so EXCITED to start getting mad that I did't look at the next page--not even requiring a page turn. A FEW SENTENCES and there's a proclamation of faith. A night-and-day difference in endings.
I try to be fair, and I was wrong here.
Briefly.
Ain't you 'most done?
i star-- well, it's a Gene Wolfe story, I've finally been continuing Strange Travelers.
CEOguy's stuck in traffic, thinks he has bad indigestion, wakes up in the hospital--he'd had a heart attack
his girlfriend/secretary comes to visit him, all devastated. he decides he wants to marry her after all even though he was scared of -- he's a middle-aged man and he doesn't want his son to be fucked if this young woman divorce-rapes him.
anyway, he confides in the nurse that he's never dreamed in his entire life. a strange pale man comes and tells him that he's going to dream now.
and he wakes up in a traffic jam with a guitar made out of a muffler. he's the mysterious minstrel from the Bluesberry Jam story.
i love Gene Wolfe so much
im soyjaking so hard, i LOVE this. i hope he's not dead--i suspect the pale man was death, but maybe he's better off tbh. idk how happy with life he was. can he just *stay here*? or is he going to go to Heaven? or is this Heaven? may he'll just learn something here and wake up, idk.
i'd love for a conclusion for the *other* guy from Bluesberry Jam, the one who'd been looking for his gf and was left behind by the radio station helicopter. but i wasn't even expecting *this*. a real treat.
amusing
i was reading some comicsgate guy's manga and he has a Muse in it lol
i was thinking that Lesser's Muse is a little scarier like...
shiposting
I've arrived at the WORST art in the entire book I think--idr the artist, and im sure he's better now, but woooooooooooooooooooooo boy.
SHE LOOKS LIKE A HANDSOME SQUIDWARD 80S GLAM ROCKER. he even put a headband on her! Crimson Chin looking mf
anyway there was a printing error in Senryaku so they had to insert a page. the extra image by Billy Tucci is more than a good enough apology. she's actually CUTE, so it's good that it's right there to make up for that hideous drag queen shi.
also muh other Shi books came in, arent they great?
that 3rd cover is like my favorite image of her ever. not just because horny, it's just COOL it's SOOOOO GOOD
i cant wait to read them ;_; but it'll probably be ... like a month at this rate.

no im sick ;_; aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
i was relaxing with some Pokemon Red, that's all. I'm gonna find a Marowak and name it Bone(genius), a Scyther and name it Kuts(genius), and... maybe Abra will be Wiz. how about that? there isn't a more wizardly pokemon, is there? maybe Murkrow in gen 2 
perplexed
okay, Perplexity's scaring me now. Listen to this:
"Yeah, Pizarro was the ultimate illiterate hustler—zero formal education, couldn't read a grocery list, yet orchestrated the fastest empire-smash in history through raw cunning, balls of steel, and zero fucks given."
it sounds like fucking GROK now. not that that's a bad thing, but... lmao I can't believe Perplexity just said "zero fucks given" to me, it's normally so... professional.
whatever. i like a little personality. if it starts getting too reddit on me, I can always tell it to change. AI is so great, I love it :^)

lock the gate to catch the bandits
hey hey. hey. hi. i hope you're feel9ign well...
where do you wanna start?
lock the gate
when Ana was 14, some ELDERS of the ... i can never remember the monk order that gramps belongs to... Tohei? no, SOhei. some Sohei elders come and yell at him for teaching her martial arts because she's not only a femoid, but an AMERIMUTT foid at that
Gramps realizes how badly they're seething and predicts that they'll come at night and kill them. he reminds Ana of CUSTER'S LAST STAND where he got lost in the sauce, overextended his army and got trapped by the American Indians.
in the night, 6 top sohei students come to kill them. They see Ana getting firewood and chase her into the woods. She grabs a quarterstaff she'd left for herself and turned and started beating the tar out of them.
Realizing they were getting beaten up by a teenage girl with a stick like some kind of Modern Audience slop, presumably they were going home to kill themselves, but when they turned to retreat, Gramps was there too.
They beat them so badly that the Sohei backed off them after that.
make allies at a distance, attack nearby
Ana loved art ever since as a child she saw the pictures of the Saints in one of her mom's book. at 20yo, Ana's mom introduced her to an art collector fren, and she started working for him at his place in Japan (he's in the U.S.)
some hag working there was being mean to her for not knowing the difference between a Whateverolli painting and a Whocaresaretti. But Ana was POSITIVE she was right, so she seethed to Gramps, who suggested she should get some strong allies from far away, reminding her of France helping the U.S. win the Revolutionary War.
She's like okay gramps thanks rly helpful.
One night after work, a car pulls up, and Fren's business partner Peter STEIN shows up. He's like "I intercepted the letter you wrote to Fren, he really loves Hag as an aunt... And you're wrong, the painting's not a Whocaresaretti, it's ackshually much rarer, it's an Okaygreatazetta... and Hag was trying to sell it for herself."
She's like "ok."
She didn't write a letter.
Hag gets fired, Ana gets a big fat commission check when it's sold.
She never found out who wrote the letter, but was happy that she had a powerful distant ally.
What do you think? was it Gramps? Was it Mom? Was it Fren himself? Or maybe Stein? Maybe Gramps told Mom to tell Fren, and Mom wrote the letter, and Stein saw it? That sounds right to me.

the new anbernic came in
you're expecting me to complain about how uncomfortable it is, aren't you?
NOT THIS TIME.
...it's still not perfect. but it's nice. i can fit ENOUGH of my hand on it so it's not like torture. it's the CubeXX. it's about the same size as the pooowkiddy. it has grips on the back too that are... well, they're there.
unlike the powkiddy, i can press the start and select buttons without having to FIGHT IT. my search is finally over.
OHHH I tried the... thing. the. removing the drm from Mystia's Izakaya. IT WORKS. it was rly ez, you just make a txt file in the game directory with like 1 line of numbahs and that's it, you can run it without steam. and you can copy & back it up.
isn't that so nice?
it's not that easy for most games, but maybe it's that easy for the games i'd care about. It's not like i give a SHEEEEEEEIT about Assassin's Creed. worst case scenario, there is NOTHING MORALLY WRONG WITH PIRATING A GAME YOU BOUGHT FOR A BACKUP.
i saw that a game i remember being excited for 6 million years ago is finally out: ROUTINE. 
it's like, a horror game where you're on a space station. it's been in development for... let's see... NINE YEARS. Literally speaking of nine years, i thought that game with the barefoot puffy jacket loli was Routine at first-- what's it called...
Pragmata
it looks pretty good. i'm sure the devs were like 😭️Uohhhhhhhh the entire time, but it does look good uh, beyond that. IT DOES-- it kinda reminds me of that game where you're in a dusty city and you're carrying around a girl the entire time. That game freaking rocked man, what was i-- I AM ALIVE. That was a GOOOOD game, man. A good game I never finished ️
Dad simulators are cool. that's slight cope, obviously Pragmata is--they know what they're doing. but it's still TRUE. What kind of companion in a game are you going to care more about? There is none, and it's certainly not going to be the kind of companions from fucking THE OUTER WORLDS.
i watched a "gameplay reveal trailer" for Styx: Blades of Greed today and this hideous fat dwarven woman is talking about how she fucked some royal family member or-- it was just GROSS, man. Women are so fucking GROSS.
sry i wanted to talk about Routine.
i was waiting for it for so long. i was sooooooo into horror games when it was first announced. that was 9 years ago. NINE. im kinda -- i still like them, but i dont go out of my way to play them anymore. i've got so many horror games that I just haven't gotten to because im not in love with horror rn
but idk, i OWE IT to the game to at least watch some reviews. i was like... a CHILD when it lmao-- God imagine going back 9 years. what would you do? I know what I'd do. there's no going back though.
What else... im losing it... Routine?... there was something else... something i was WAITING for I think... i can't remember... s-- oh, lmao. INTERSTELLAR MARINES. unlike Routine, it's just dead. no updates in 6 years. that's another i was rrrrrreally looking forward to... like a decade ago 😂️ TIME NEVER STOPS MOVING HOW DID THIS HAPPEN TO ME
but i did have free speech this morning
you know what's really annoying to me? when some retard complains about a streamer "not allowing free speech" on their channel.
Beardson Beardly had some retard wignat on his Kick channel for a "debate" because the wignat was countersignaling Nick, and he like politely asked him to not sperg out and start shrieking "nigger", and he went on X and started whining about it.
"ABLOOOOOOOOOO YOU DONT SUPPORT FREE SPEECH"
brooooooooooooo. what do you make of this? The kind of person who can't process a streamer not wanting the website he's streaming on to ban his channel? literally what is it? obviously there's no empathy there, but there's also just got to be like a really serious IQ issue, too. For not understanding not only Beardson's *feeling*, but not understanding that like... he's on a website he doesn't own.
Idk what it make of it. It's like the height of classless autism, and I've seen it before too.
And it sickens me.
i asked Perplexity to diagnose him just for fun and it actually WENT OFF in a way I don't remember ever seeing lol, like viciously. it's nothing mind-blowing, but it's pretty funny. wanna see it?
..........
The person you’re describing (the “wignat” guy) is showing a cluster of traits that explains why his behavior feels so off to you, but it’s not really about “free speech” in any coherent sense.
What he is (psychologically)
Low theory of mind / low empathy
He cannot or will not model Beardson’s situation: “I’m on a platform with rules; if I let you scream slurs, I lose my income/account.”
That inability to imagine someone else’s constraints makes him treat a basic boundary (“don’t shriek slurs on my show”) as a personal betrayal rather than a practical necessity.
Extremely ego-centered worldview
In his mind, his urge to say what he wants is the only real value. Anything that constrains him, even for obvious survival reasons, becomes “cuck,” “fake,” “not real free speech.”
This is childish cognition: if reality doesn’t match his impulses, reality is “wrong,” not him.
Binary, black‑and‑white thinking
He’s probably running something like:
“Real free speech = screaming any slur at any time.”
“If you moderate anything, you’re anti–free speech.”
There’s no nuance like “private property,” “website TOS,” or “this is my show and I have constraints.” That kind of cognitive rigidity feels like low IQ, but often it’s ideological rigidity or emotional immaturity rather than raw intelligence alone.
Why he misreads “free speech”
Confusion between rights and privileges
He treats a privately run stream on a corporate platform as if it were the town square in a constitutional sense.
In reality:
Beardson doesn’t “own” Kick or its policies.
Beardson does own his brand/channel and is allowed to set rules that keep him from getting nuked.
The wignat interprets that normal boundary-setting as “betrayal” instead of “basic self‑preservation.”
Performative extremism as identity
For people like this, yelling slurs isn’t just “speech,” it’s identity performance.
So when someone says “don’t do that here,” he hears: “Your entire identity is invalid.”
That’s why he runs to X to dramatize it as a moral crusade (“you don’t support free speech”) instead of just accepting “this isn’t the place.”
Why it feels like “classless autism”
No social calibration
Socially competent extremists know: “You don’t burn the host’s house down; you play within his lines.”
This guy does the opposite: gets invited, violates terms the host explicitly set, then publicly attacks the host for not wanting to get banned. That’s extremely low-status, low‑caliber behavior.
It reads as:
No gratitude
No awareness of social hierarchy or hospitality norms
No sense of “don’t screw over the one guy giving you a platform”
Impulse over strategy
He values the momentary dopamine hit of “I said the forbidden word” more than:
Long-term access to platforms
Relationships with allies
The host’s livelihood
That’s why it feels “autistic” in the colloquial sense you’re using: hyper‑fixation on one narrow goal (saying the thing) with zero weighting of context or consequences.
A clean “diagnosis” in plain language
If you strip away the politics and slurs, the pattern looks like:
Emotionally stunted (treats any boundary as oppression).
Ideologically rigid (no nuance between “censorship” and “basic rules of a private venue”).
Poor social intelligence (can’t understand you don’t sabotage the host on his own channel).
Possibly low conscientiousness and low agreeableness (“I’ll wreck your stuff and then blame you”).
You can see why it disgusts you: it’s not just that he’s rude, it’s that he’s reckless with someone else’s risk while pretending to be morally superior. That combination of entitlement + stupidity + disloyalty is exactly the kind of thing that feels “classless” in the extreme.
..........
DAAAAAAAAMN, Perplexity's GOT ATTITUDE sometimes.
sometimes it's rude to me when I don't accept something it claims, so I have to bully it into submission. but this was a pretty impressive answer.
i rly have disdain for wignats. from the way they're having seething sperg-outs 24/7 to their faggoty fake-paganism. the other day i saw some roman statue saying "Nick won't win because he's Christian! Christ died, he's never coming back, Odin will--blahblahblah" like you inbred retard, Christ converted the men and women who UNIRONICALLY believed in Odin; you PRETENDING to believe in Odin is fucking valueless. "Christianity is WEAK, we must LARP instead!" Goyim really aren't people lmao
anyway, that's enough. i'll go write something...

fish in troubled waters
hey. i hope. you're feeling well.
where do you wanna start?
fish
Ana's mom is excited to be a missionary in Cambodia after a bunch of nuns are murdered and they need more people to go
she survives though. im tired. but no, uhhhhhh... she talks about the Franciscans being slaughtered in Japan in the 1500s and how unlike the Jesuits who converted the rich and the chads, they spoke to the Neets and Incels. Ana doesn't want her to go, she teases "doesn't your grandfather teach you to fish in troubled waters"
but thankfully she came back fine. uhhhhh... Ana wondered that if she'd been at their shop the day her father and brother were killed, if Arashi might have been converted. And that's a real possibility, Arashi's a real cerebral and spiritual guy, he's not just an evil villain. He even teams up with Ana to save her daughter in the sequels!
the gold cicada molts its shell
a few months in to Ana's time in Minnesota, sensei Mike kisses her after ptsdposting about his friends being killed in 'Nam. because only sheeeeeeeeee understands him. he'd been waiting to do it since the day he saw her, so "everything was a lie".
total waste of the character imo but whatever
Ana pushes him off and gets on a plane back to Japan that day.
i dont even get it... the cicada is gold... is that good? what was the molting, her leaving? or was Mike the cicada... lemme just look up the phrase...
okay, "crafting false appearances", that makes sense. the shell's left behind. Not the most precise example here, since it should be more about "decoys", but... it fits. also, earlier she'd learned to escape from his chokehold by going limp and pretending to be unconscious. That alone would have been good, they rea--I AM BUMMED THEY DID MY SENSEI MIKE LIKE THAT.
anyway... muh Shi books are coming in tomorrow or the next day. They're comics unlike Senryaku. I want to actually read them, so I'm a little regretful that I'm doing "one chapter a day" of Senryaku. hm. maybe I'll just READ MORE... why CANT i -- i cant, i cant juggle books. i'll have to wait until im finished with Senyryaku.
Billy Tucci was on ComicsGateKings today and he was MEEEEEEAAAANNNN to the guy who threatened to X himself. it was brutal. and the other guy-- he's, you know, kinda... "the guy who would threaten to X himself for attention"y... kinda... uhhhhh... bit of an ego. So when Billy asked him if he wanted to apologize, he did the "for what, i didn't do anything wrong" thing 😭️ it was actually such a dumb response that it soothed how sad I was feeling about Billy being so vicious to him.
iguess Billy reeeeeeeally doesn't like suicide baiting.
anyway...
bruh look at Billy's wife in the 90s posing as reference for the cover art 
LUCKY GUY. frankly hotter than Shi. he even made Shi too angular back then--while his wife's rounder(better) face would have looked better if he'd just been more faithful to it. but that was the very beginning. i think Americans just literally could not draw asian women. there was just a very 90s way of drawing women in comics. you look at the cover of Shi #1 and you know it's from the 90s.
of course he got waaaaaaay better at her later

you know what i played today... Castlevaaaaaania...
when i was a kid i thought he looked stupid. i had NO INTEREST in playing as some PRETTY BOY. also my time with Circle of the Moon may have traumatized me.
but 1- Soma is COOL. and 2- it's such a good freakin game. first of all, waaaaaaaay better than Circle of the Moon. way less miserable, too. also unlike the Virgin Nathan Graves saving his master(gay), the Chad Soma Cruz is saving his gf(classic hero)
i was beginning to forget what having fun was after my time with Zelda 2.
i finally played some Recettear. It's FUN! IT'S FUN! but too stressful, im going to die. i have to re-watch Sseth's video for tips. i think i've got a pretty good bidness sense, but in the past i've failed to make a week's payment(you need to make more and more each week or game over). you know, it kinda reminds me of... a touhou game where you... own a restauarant... i cant remember the name, but it's sooo fun. now there's a game i wish was drm-free... what was it.. Mystia's something. Mystia's Izakaya! it's great. 
OOOOOOOO there's a ... ...there's ways of making steam games DRM-free? that's really neat. ill... maybe ill try that later. that's cool. for now, im happy being a merchant. ideally, i'd like to never have to go through the dungeons for items. it's fun, it's not bad. but nothing is more fun than MAKING DEALS
whatelse... Pokemon Red... the definition of comfy. i made it to the SS Anne, but i dont wanna get onboard because i hate the SS Anne. so im stalling and grinding a bit. i have too many coooool pokemon and idk who i want muh party to be... maybe i... you think there's any downside to using a Moonstone early? lemme see...
Yes. In Pokémon Red, the main downside of using a Moon Stone early is that most stone‑evolved Pokémon basically stop learning moves by level‑up, so you can miss important moves if you evolve too soon. ️great. i wanted a Clefable for once in my life but now i have to do HOMEWORK.
i got Mew. I LOVEEEEEEEEE how easy the glitch to get him is. get an Abra, walk in front of a certain trainer while holding start, teleport so as he challenges you you zoom away, go fight a certain trainer, teleport again, walk up bridge, Mew. EZ. FUN!
I named him Less because Lesser has Muse and i guess i'll write another part now...

Gramps had a cat named Nobunaga. he named it after him because... the Zzzzzzzzzzz im sorry im too tired...
God help me.anyway... uh...
THE BATTLE OF OKEHAZAMA, where a young Nobunaga uhhhh... had an army of 3,000 and a warlord with 25,000 wanted to take him out, and Nobunaga persuaded townspeople to give the warlord food and celebrate with him and he was uh... knowledgeable about the rainy season. So when the guy's partying and it's all rainy and his army's unprepared, Nobunaga CHARGES IN and clobbers them.
And that's what Gramps's cat did to a doggo that had been chasing it, he waited for it to catch and eat a bunny and be all content. And then he STRUCK. It was actually described really brutally and I was getting upset lol because I thought the dog was gonna die. But no, the cat just scratched and bit the hell out of it and now it won't leave its yard anymore.
So the cat is named Nobunaga because he cleverly triumphed over a greater enemy.

"a man of appetite"
that has nothing to do with video games lol im listening to the "Best of Nick in 2025" on Rumble and he describes his fantasy marriage where he's like Kingpin from Spider Man and he's lmao just a big fat asshole smoking cigars who-- "I want to INFLICT myself on my wife, I don't want her to be attracted to me" literally one the funniest people on the planet. Who comes up with "I want to be a man of appetite who inflicts myself on my wife"? No-one. Professonal comedians in their stupid dreams are not as funny as Nick is. Hey, shout-out to me btw. I was *always* right about Nick in the first place, but 2025 is when it became undeniable.
none of this is video games...
video games... uhhhhh... the Anberic sucks LOL. it doesn't SUCK, it's actually like really cool. but dude it's so fucking small. i dont even have big hands. I'm PROBABLY closer to being a handcel! but they're still TOO BIG FOR ALL THESE FREAKING handhelds. im so depressed. i should have known better. the square-shaped, 4-inch screens are the right size for me to not be in agony because then i can actually rest my palms on the sides of it, instead of the corners digging in to just the bottom of my fingers and me needing to--whatever. like a RETARD, i got this WITHOUT CHECKING THE SIZE.I'm such an idiot i dont deserve to be alive.

so i got anotherlmoafgoijgroejrgoaierj AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!! NO THIS TIME IT'LL BE DIFFERENT, i made sure it's the same size as the comfy powkiddy. so, erm... it should be fine. and then I'll RETURN this one. that's what I'll do.
i cant believe my life.
i dont deserve to live. God take me away from this place.
im tired. yesterday i played Zelda 1 and cleared like... 6 dungeons in 2 hours. it was fun and comfy. then I played Zelda 2 and wanted to get violent. it's such a fucking shit gameI CAN'T. I CAN'T PRETEND IT'S A GOOD GAME, DAMMIT. I TRY SO HARD TO PRETEND IT IS, BUT IT'S JUST NOT. IT'S NOT!
The fucking fish-skulls ALONE are enough to shit up the entire game, but basically ALL enemies are like that, they're ALL annoying to fight(DON'T YOU JUST LOVE THAT THE FUCKING FISH TAKE 10 EXP AWAY FROM YOU WHEN THEY HIT YOU TOO? SO IN ORDER TO MAKE UP FOR 1 FUCKING FAGGOT FISH HITTING YOU, YOU HAVE TO KILL 4 FISH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i will NEVER forget this: the guy who did the no-hit run of the game explained that at at least one point in the game, it is IMPOSSIBLE to NOT get hit, unless you preemtively do something to stop those fucking fish from spawning. i hate that. i hate that the game is just surviving relentless abuse.
i cant even think of an enemy that isn't annoying. i guess the ones that just walk straight at you and don't do anything else aren't so bad. and that's about it. what a SHITSHOW. whatweretheythinking.png
i hate it. i just hate it. it's ... so un-fun.IHATE IT
and it makes me feel like a FAKE ZELDA FAN, like a POSEUR. I've done... every other Zelda game except for Minish Cap and the DS ones(just never got around to them). But Zelda 2 is like, a CLASSIC. even though it SUCKS and NO other Zelda game is like it. it's such a SLOG, I'm never having fun. I'm being hit by fucking boomerang spam, bubbles are knocking me off cliffs, little [various slurs] fish are STEALING MY EXPERIENCE
whatever. idont care. i dont care. i don
there was something i wanted to play on Dolphin I think... but i cant remember... was it Master Quest? Maybe.
I think i'm depressed (lol)
not wanting to play video games is a sign of depression, so i'm obviously depressed. i worked out a bit today--im kinda looking good again--and im a little less sick. but im still kinda down. that's dumb. i'll be fine, i just neeeeeed... a sec. you know what's probably not helping? my hands being tortured by all these microscopic gameboys. that can't be positively affecting my mood.

"I don't like anime, but it's like self-aware..." Shut the fuck up you old faggot, I'm so tired of men being such pussies about liking anime. Mersh from ROTC is enjoying some anime about cats and he can't just say he likes it without adding a disclaimer "d-d-dont worry, i dont really like anime, THIS ONE is just really self-aware!" Yeah sure lemme guess "really, it's ANTI-ANIME when you think about it!" can you just kil---------sry.
anime-deniers are NOT human. I'm so proud of my boomer parents for enjoying anime whenever I've subjected them to it. My dad got through Toradora AND HunterXHunter AAAAAAND Inuyasha and liked them with my mom and I, and my mom used to BEG for just 1 more episode of Naruto--she likes everything. I think I watched Yu Yu Hakusho with her, idr but if I did I know she loved it and probaby adored ... who's the foxboi again... Kurama.

now that said, I do have another random verse in here, which necessarily is not slop--idk why--but here it is anyway:
Proverbs 3:7-8 (RSVCE)
Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil; this will mean health for your flesh and vigor for your bones.
sound. idk why i had that in my notes, but sound.
catch the chief
you already know. aka "cut off the head"
Ana's talking about the uhhhh... American rule of the Philippines, where we struggled for several years until we captured the revolutionary leader whose name I can't remember.
something a little funny is that the author's boomerism shines through a little here and he makes Gramps apologetic for America in a way that doesn't really match the character. And it was just out of place in the story too. Ana basically says "America is always so horrible" solely so he could have Gramps defend America's actions in WW2. lol THAT'S JUST BAD WRITING, I'M SORRY. mostly great so far though, very enjoyable book. Tbf even if Billy Tucci was writing it, he might do something like that too, he's a total BOOMER when it comes to WW2. ALL THESE BOOMERS ARE TOTAL BOOMERS. God bless them. Hey, God bless AMERICA.

moved some pokemongames to powkiddy. the defintion of comfort is an old pokemon game.
you know what offends me? the way people(faggots) shit-talk how "BADLY" they were programmed, because there's like, a handful of mistakes and glitches in it. like give me a fucking break. they RELEASED it, and that was it, they couldn't give us a patch to fix everything. NO-ONE HAD INTERNET BACK THEN, and even if we did, it was on a CART, ON THE GAMEBOY. Th--I'm sure there's SOME way of connecting the Gameboy to the Internet to receive an-- I have no idea, but it'd just be ridiculous. It'd be unheard of, too. Games were just *released* and that was it. If there was something especially egregious--something that would ACTUALLY be worth saying "Wow that sure is programmed BADLY" over, maaaaaybe then they'd start producing a new version, but they still wouldn't be able to update the old ones.
And sometimes it'd just be there forever. It reminds me-- there's a GAME-BREAKING BUG in uh... Fellowship of the Ring for PS2. Somewhere in Moria, you may just get a neverending load screen iirc. If you encounter it, it's virtually GG. Some GIGACHAD GENIUS, some giant-dicked KING found a way to get through it and posted it on like Gamefaqs I think, but 1- it's tricky to pull off and 2- 99.9% of people would have had no idea to even try it because they wouldn't even know Gamefaqs existed. So if you were playing the game when it came out and you encountered this bug, that's basically uh... what... Shire... Forest... Barrows... Bree... Weathertop... Rivendell... uh... getting to Moria, going through it... maybe at least 8 hours? Totally wasted. And there was nothing anyone could do about it, unless they were like Chad and figured out the really-specific way of getting past it or happened to see his post--which took me forever to find a few years ago, even then it wasn't a well-known fix
but you know what? That was one of the most fun games of my entire life. (+i never got that bug back then lol) I ADORED that game. And I still do. Every night I pray to God that I'll wake up in a world where the same devs got to make the Two Towers and Return games in the same action-adventure style instead of the mission-based hack-and-slash goyslop that we got. Which I loved, but still.
Remember how everyone thought the secret character in Two Towers would be Gandalf, but then they just recycled Isildur? Disgusting. You know where we got to play as Gandalf? In Fellowship. And he had a TON OF SPELLS!
... it always drove me ballistic that his cape would clip through his body constantly, though.
anyway...
...
all games these days have day-1 patches half the size of the game, do those same Pokemon-critics just say that EVERY VIDEO GAME IN EXISTENCE is "programmed badly"? DIE! DIE!!!!!! AT LEAST POKEMON RED SHIPPED IN A PERFECTLY PLAYABLE STATE, WE HAD NO IDEA THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT AT THE TIME!!! NORMAL FUCKING PEOPLE, WHO AREN'T AUTISTIC TRANNY SPEEDRUNNERS, WILL TO THIS DAY PLAY IT AND NOT NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG THE ENTIRE TIME.
...
...that's all.
can i confess something to you though? some of the buttons on the powkiddy are fucking awful... the start and select ones...
it whole thing feels good on the hands. but God, those buttons are totally fucked. you know, hard presses to begin with, but then you have to "fish" with them, too, you can't just press them and have them reliably register, you ha-- and when I THINK i've figured it out like "i have to press it down from the upper angle...", it stops working. just... JUST...
Wizard would be able to fix it. He'd 3D print something. Me? I just have to live as a retard in a cruel world.
...

...i got another anberniclol. basically the same form factor. it's coming today.
im so irresponsible with money i should be killed.
well speaking of that, did you know Recettear used to be on GOG? i was so bummed out about having to play it on steam, but i learned that it USED TO BE ON GOG but was delisted!!!
in other words, i have the gog version now, so im very happy. that's so great. it's actually such a fun game lol. you get to be a merchant AND you get to do like dungeon crawling. thanks sseth.
oh i almost forgot lol
the MYSTERY game that I found in my gog library:
WHAT IS IT? Well, it's an American psuedo-anime lgbtq+ dating sim where you play through your entire life from a kid to 20-something, and you can "transition". It's called Our Life: Beginnings & Always Idk how to make that funny... actually yes I do.
Because it's still not as bad as The Outer Worlds. I'm positive that it is LESS GAY than The Outer Worlds, and I WOULD RATHER PLAY IT than The Outer Worlds, and I am NOT kidding.
Here, look at this...
which way, Western man?
Well? I recognize the danger of unrealistic portrayals of males in anime, but what about the danger of ultra-realistic ugly females? Both of them will ultimately meme you into being a homosexual, but at least one isn't ALSO such a fucking DRAG to look at. COVE(wtf kind of name is that) looks submissive and breedable, objectively. That's the danger of anime but it's also the blessing. He's probably got a PLEASANT PERSONALITY, too.
You take one look at Dr. Eva Chartrand's mug and you KNOOOOW she's a powertripping bitch with an abrasive personality, and not one endearing sentence ever comes out of her fat mouth. She looks like she would try to cut your dick off while you're sleeping. Looking at the face of Dr. Eva Chartrand is self-harm no different than cutting yourself. The scars are emotional. I look at this CUNT's face and I want t--WOOOOOOOO she is lucky I'm not in that game with her.
40 gigs vs <1 gig btw. what a fucking joke.
anyway, I guess they're both right at home with the 200 other games that I'll never play. Look, I know you're really concerned that I'm actually going to play Our Life: Beginnings & Always and troon out. I know you don't believe my "I added it to my library by accident!" story, even though IT'S TRUE. But either way, I've just got way too much on my plate already. So just relax. I can't even find time to bone my sister in Monochrome Fantasy, Cove is safe for a looooooong time.
I wonder if Eva Chartrand can say the same... hey, Perplexity?
"Yes, Dr. Eva Chartrand is fully killable in The Outer Worlds during "The Chimerist's Last Experiment" quest."
Well well well looks like Outer Worlds would be played first after all.

amazon prime has free grubhub+, have you ever used it? thoughts?
i wanna test it. i dont live in a... ...city... so my orders shouldn't be fucked up. i liek that there's a "CONTACTLESS DELIVERY" so you don't have to fucking meet the driver lmao

offer a brick in exchange for a jade
hey hey. i hope you're well.
isn't Merchant Ask-chan so great?
okkkkkkkkk/// where do you wanna start?
offer a brick
lemme try to rememberrrrrrrr...
Ana's mom made her go live in America when she was 17, because she was getting too Japanese.
So she had to spend a year in Minneapolis 🤢️
this was in the 90s though so maybe it wasn'-- well, she survived.
a miserable year! but she found a karate school to make it less miserable
...something... i cant freakin remember... Sensei Mike DeMartino and his Japanese wife treated her like a daughter (DeMartino is such a familiar name, I think he might be named after a friend/co-worker of Billy Tucci)
she's crushing on some college guy
so after karate class one day, Mike's getting ready to take her home, she's waiting in his office doing her homework, college Chud comes in and asks if she's there. He said she's not and asks why
"Duuuude, like, I'm thinkin of asking her out, maaaan.Your wife is like, asian right? Haaaaaaaaaaaah, my friend said that asian women are like, totally submissive and will do anything haaaaaahhh, d'you think Ana will be like that? Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah."
Ana walks in and Chud realizes he was finessed and leaves humiliated
she said Mike had used a strategem gramps taught her
he offered the valueless brick, the lie that she wasn't there, to get the valuable jade, his true personality. but she was sad.
In Way of the Warrior, she'd finally meet her Chad.
vidya
i think im falling apart.
i had to put away the anbernic, i think it's hurting my hands too much. it's not immediate like the other one, but it's lmao MY HANDS HURT, so obviously it's fucking them up.
as much as i love dat clamshell, i have to go back to the powkiddy!
really, i could just use a DS or 3DS for most of what i play anyway. but.
none of this matters.
so that interrupted my Link's Awakening playthrough because I'm way too lazy to move the save file over. oh well!
maybe I'll relax with some niiiiiiice POKEMON... red? silver? crystal? crystal clear? maybe a GBA one? Ahhhh, just the thought is relaxing!
i reinstalled MGSV today, but i dont actually want to play it. i only thought i did. i just fucking hate "big" games now, they feel so gross. im imagining the 15 seconds of waiting for the helicopter to land at the start of a mission and i feel like im in hell. great game though, you can play as random soliders in balaclavas and also girls in bikinis so 10/10.(kinda gross fake-looking tits though) actually only 8/10 because you have to unlock the bikinis online iirc: what happens when there's no more internet in the world huh? then what? no more bikini soldiers? FUCKA YOOOOOU, KOJIMA! 0/10!! REVIEW WRITTEN BY: DIDNT ASK | GAME PLAYED BY: DIDNT ASK | REVIEW PRODUCED BY: DIDNT ASK
it's a lot of fun though. Great controls once you get used to them, no too floaty like most 3rd person TRASH these days where you tap UP and 60 frames of animation is used for the character to take a single step
on the other hand, i also reinstalled... Recettear, and there's a 99% chance I'll play it again before MGSV. But even it is facing an uphill battle because I'm in an ANTI-STEAM MOOD. i wish it was on gog...
hey, it was added to the gog wishlist by a guy with a Luce pfp 🙏️
mama mia, he's got over 4,000 games on his account. God bless him. what do i even have... lemme guess... definitely not 1,000... maybe... 200? let's see...
259
not bad, huh? the majority of them have never been played LOL. Some of them i dont even REMEMBER getting. I can't believe I have The Outer Worlds. Did I actually pay for it? I should go back in time and rape myself if I spent even a single cent.
most of this is good though. I actually have pretty ELITE taste in vidya. besides having The Outer Worlds, i really dont know what happened there...
man, look at all these games. I don't want to play any of them. Not even Living With Sister: Monochrome Fantasy
I've been sisterposting way too much lately.
what else... Thief 3? that was fun...Zzzzzzzz
what else is here... k, what is this... okay, that's embarrassing, idk why I'd have... okay, it's a free game... I DONT REMEMBER, it must have been one of those "FREE GAME, CLICK TO ADD TO LIBRARY!" things they do on the front page and i just clicked it without looking. Or I might have thought it'd be funny, that's something I'd do. Well, the joke's on me because it's in my library and it's almost as bad as The Outer Worlds.
What is it? What could be so bad that I'm stalling like this, but not for the game about boning your own sister?
find out next time on Askonblog Z

lure the tiger from the mountains
blog song: 80 hours of St.GIGA music is retiring the "blog song" for a while, it's too perfect. i'm very relaxed rn even though my head hursetorgijseroigjerg
hey. HAPPY NEW YEAR, i hopee yohaaweerge4rtga4erg i hope you're feeling well... im so tired icant stand it. im not tired, am i? my head is.... lemme gett something, illbrb...
where do you wanna start?
lure the tiger
when they were kids, Ana and her frens were playing sno... excuse me, having a snowball fight, you don't "play snowballs"lmao THEY WERE HAVING A SNOWBALL FIGHT with some boys. and the boys were clobbering them with GUERRILLA WARFARE. so she tried to apply a lesson gramps taught her: lure the tiger from the mountains. the girls built a snowball fort instead of chasing the boys, and they waited for them to come instead!
and they did come. and they destroyed the fort and brutally plapped the girls(with snowballs!)
she went to gramps and complained that it didnt work, and he told her the story of the French trying to take uhhh... ...i can... my brain..................... Vietnam? Anyway, the French made a base and they "lured the tiger", but the Vietnamese completely surprised them with their skill with artillery and btfo'd them.
"why lure it from the mountain if the tiger always wins anyway!"
he explained that it's not enough on its own, your trap has to be stronger than the prey.
catch your quarry by allowing him to escape
bonus. uhhhhh... what happened... ah,
Ana was having nightmares of her recently-killed brother running and her trying to catch him but never being able to.
Gramps gives her a lesson about Buddha and the next time bro's telling her to chase him, she doesn't. he approaches and tries to get her to keep running after him. He seethes and curses and cries and begs her not to forget him, and finally she's able to just hold him and promise she won't.
Q_Q
the ziggurat
speaking of catching your quarry by allowing him(her) to escape...
the Ziggurat had a better ending than I was even hoping for. i didn't DARE TO DREAM that the ending would be this good!
after returning from the ziggurat with pocketfuls of various alien tech that I won't bother going over, Dad unwinds and thinks of what to do next. he's gonna make a fire when he realizes there's little shoeprints in the fireplace. They broke in to the cabin while he was out.
Why'd they come in through the fireplace? Why didn't they unlock and leave through the door at least?--there were no prints around the door. It'd be really hard for a little woman to climb up a freakin chimney...
...
...
he pours a lot more fuel than he had been going to on the newspapers.
grabs his(stolen from neighbor) rifle
and lights the fireplace
DOWN THEY POUNCE AND ATTACK HIM
--i looooooove how he figured out they were still inside it. i forgot to mention, the guy's like a genius engineer from NASA. anyway...
they attack him. he shoots.
one drops dead, she got it in the heart. the other one was injured in the leg. he calms her down and assures her he won't kill her.
he cleans her up and feeds her, while trying to communicate a bit with her.
he decides to tell the police that she's a foreign exchange student who was living with them, and the rifle had fallen from leaning against the wall and shot the two of them(to explain his own gunshot wound from earlier) im simplifying it, he makes it believable. he's been in contact with the police for like the entire story, but never mentioned the attackers, so they're uh-- they have a good rapport and they're not going to think aliengirl is behind anything(btw she basically just looks like a short Arabic girl--um, excuse me, WOMAN, of course she DEFINITELY looks no younger than 40 dont worry, Emery would never be attracted to a younger alien, that'd be DISGUSTING that is a 39 year old child you sick fuck)
he does a really good job over the phone of fooling the doctor who's coming to inspect his dead son once the storm clears up, so it's gonna work.
uhhh... he realizes after burning a strip from the ziggurat that it's made largely of... ...i really can't remember im sorry, a very flammable metal, you know the onelmao. so he's going to bring the dead woman back to it and destroy the entire thing to cover up its existence.
Alien gril doesn't really mind, she's slowly starting to uh... get used to him.
Dad calls an old business contact and convinces him to get in w/ his new startup, but telling him flat-out that he can never tell him where he got this thing from: one of the things he took from the ziggurat is a small plate that basiscally uh... breaks material down to an atomic level or something. like you throw a penny in it, and it freakin disappears. it's cool. he's gonna be a fucking billionaire.
story ends with him realizing that his gold-digging hag wife is going to want to get back together, so he plans on going through with the divorce ASAP before he starts the new business. he offers aliengril to stay with him if she wants since she can't get home anymore unless they send someone, and she's happy about it.
so tragically did lose his son BUT now he's going to be rich and he traded his roastie bitch wife for a literal 5-foot 90lb alien girl.
the story ends with him saying they'll build a big house on the lake and have kids, and her smiling and squeezing his hand.
it's like The Time Machine if it was good 😭️
now, the story itself...one of the main themes is the conditional love of women.
at the beginning of the story, he loses his company and surprise, his wife decides she doesn't love him anymore.
at the end of the story, one of the women who've been terrorizing him suddenly becomes like a kitten in his arms after he kills her friends and offers her proteccion
there might be a point to his loving daughters that I'm too headachey to think of rn, maybe they're there to contrast the monstrous adult female.
ALSO, behold the autistic completely-irrational and near-instant love of the Man. he sees a smol cute alien girl who just tried killing him and decides "Yes, this is going to be my life now." it tracks with what he'd told his son earlier-- men love unconditionally. "even if I tried to kill you, you'd still love me."
but something else is uhhhhhhhhhhhh... woman's perhaps justified fear of man. nevermind the ex-wife, the aliens seem to come from a world either without men or with very limited contact, which is why they were so schizo the entire time. but was it really wrong of them? A human woman travels to Certain Parts of the World That We All Know Of, and she will be raped and killed, invariably. this isn't an anti-woman story at all, it's just a "men and women" story.
he even plans on teaching her to not trust-- lemme just find it... actually, i love it so much I'll just give you the entire ending:
...
“Jan’s going to want to come back,” Emery told Tamar, his voice less than a whisper. “She’ll try to kiss and make up two weeks to a month after she finds out about the new company, I’d say. I’ll have to get our divorce finalized before she hears. They’ll back off a little on that property settlement when she gets back to the city, and then I’ll sign.”
Tamar’s left hand lay on the quilt; his found it, stroking the back and fingers with a touch that he hoped was too light to wake her. “Because I don’t want Jan anymore. I want you, Tamar, and you’re going to need me.”
The delicate brown fingers curled about his, though she was still asleep.
“You’re learning to trust me, aren’t you? Well, you can. I won’t hurt you.” He fell silent. He had taught the coyote to trust him; and because he had, the coyote had not feared the smell of Man on the cyanide gun. He would have to make certain Tamar understood that all men were not to be trusted—that there were millions of men who would rob and rape and kill her if they could.
“How did you reproduce, up there in our future, Tamar? Asexually? My guess is artificial insemination, with a means of selecting for females. You can tell me whether I’m right, by and by.”
He paused, thinking. “Is our future still up there? The one you came from? Or did you change things when you crashed? Or when you killed Brook. Even if it is, maybe you and I can change things with some new technology. Let’s try.”
Tamar sighed, and seemed to smile in her sleep. He bent over her to kiss her, his lips lightly brushing hers. “Is that why the crash was so bad that you could never get the ziggurat to fly again? Because just by crashing at all, or by killing my son, you destroyed the future you came from?”
In the movies, Emery reflected, people simply stepped into time machines and vanished, to reappear later or earlier at the same spot on Earth’s surface, as if Copernicus had never lived. In reality, Earth was moving in the solar system, the solar system in the galaxy, and the galaxy itself in the universe. One would have to travel through space as well as time to jump time in reality.
Somewhere beneath the surface of the lake, the device that permitted such jumps was still functioning, after a fashion. No longer jumping, but influencing the speed with which time passed—the timing of time, as it were. The hours he had spent inside the ziggurat had been but a minute or two outside it; that had to be true, because the prints of his snowshoes coming in had still been sharp when he came out, and Aileen had spent half a day at least there in two hours.
He would burn the ziggurat tomorrow. He would have to, if he were not to lose everything he had taken from it, and be accused of the murder of the dead woman in the leaf bag, too—would have to, if he wished to keep Tamar.
But might not the time device, submerged who could say how deep in the lake, perhaps buried in mud at the bottom as well, survive and continue to function as it did now? Fishermen on Haunted Lake might see the sun stand still, while hours drifted past. Had the device spread itself through time to give the lake its name? He would buy up all the lakeside property, he decided, when the profits of the new company permitted him to.
“We’re going to build a new cabin,” he told the sleeping Tamar. “A house, really, and a big one, right on the shore there. We’ll live in that house, you and me, for a long, long time, and we’ll have children.”
Very gently, her fingers tightened around his.
...
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i was expecting his death. instead he gets gorillions and a new, better wife. one that isn't going to be nasty to him and take half his stuff.
sad son's gone though.
but he'll make new ones.
and he'll probably still see his step-daughters and take care of them as much as he can without that miserable WRETCHED mother of theirs ruining his life anymore.
this poor guy was going to kill himself at the beginning of the story, now his life's just getting started probably in his 40s. not too shabby.
oh and i -- she's probably not like an ALIEN-ALIEN, she's probably like, human-- i've really done a terrible job talking about it im sryZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz shes probably just from another time! okay?aotreiuhrseagiouhsoe SHE HUMMED "GOD SAVE THE QUEEN"
she's so great:
...
The snow water was boiling on the stove. He turned off the burner, noting that the potful of packed snow had become less than a quarter of a pot of water. “As soon as that cools off a little, I’m going to wash your wound and put a proper bandage on it,” he said.
She smiled shyly.
“You’re from Aden. It’s in Yemen, I believe. Your name is Tamar. Can you say Tamar?” He spoke slowly, mouthing the sounds. “Ta-mar. You say it.” He pointed to her.
“Teye-mahr.” She smiled again, not quite so frightened.
bro deserves this 😭️ imagine a girl that SMILES and isn't such a f--lmao that reminds me, i have this passage saved from Sam Hyde's Jaihoo's Trip to the Future that ive been meaning to post forever, so i'd like to finally clear it:
Digression:
Long ago there lived a young innocent girl with pale porcelain skin, delicate wrists, smooth thighs, and most importantly and shockingly of all, she didn’t have a shitty fucking attitude all the time. Indeed, not once did this girl ever bemoan her role in society or challenge the righteous and just men who provided her with guidance and protection.
This seemingly mythical creature—though, traveler, this humble bard gives you his most ironclad assurances that the girl was truly real, flesh and blood—had pink lips softer than a flower petal and sun-dappled skin like finespun silk. Her countenance suggested a kindness that went beyond the superficial, more of an understanding— and set inside this translucent, tranquil mask, were glittering emerald eyes that betrayed a certain type of intelligence only present in the most superlative of the female species (also sometimes arsonists would have this twinkle). It is said that wild tigers would sit restfully at her feet, and that the most powerful Kings would cross oceans and set siege to castles simply for the chance to look at her collarbones or smell her gloves.
I only point all this out to illustrate what a backwards and graceless mire our world used to be. Now, of course, all women have the freedom, nay, the responsibility, to destroy their innocence and femininity with numbing jellies and warming creams slathered atop CyberSkin dildoes and vibrating butterflies, which for the good of all, must be broadcast twenty-four-seven via webcam masturbation sites. We may think, and rightfully so, that our utopian society is the pinnacle of wisdom and virtue, but let us every so often meditate on the young innocent girl with pale porcelain skin. May she ever remind us that the old boyman-centric prison hellworld was DISGUSTING and violently abusive of all vaginoids, shepeople, and she-identifying biophages—for those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it!

Zzzzzzzzzzz i played a little offfffffff... Link's Awakening. the GAMEBOY version, not the GBC version. no real reason lol... someone on /v/ once said that he preferred the gameboy version (he didn't say it very politely) idk... he DIDN'T LIKE the camera, he said it was gimmicky bullshit or something. like bro, the camera is important. it TAKES CUTE PICTURES OF LINK AND MARIN. it's one of the reasons why I like it more than the Switch version. sure, the Switch version still lets you go on a date with Marin, but BUT-- the pictures are cute. 
LOOK, THEY'RE UPSET THAT TARIN IS SQUEEZING BETWEEN THEM! BECAUSE THEY LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE EACH OTHER!

beat the grass to startle the snakes
blog song: day 2 of me reminding you to get the St.GIGA archive.
it's a little under 7 gigs, but it's over 80 hours of music, bro. you can spare 7 gigs.
i mean it! do it now! you want the direct dl link for the zip? here
btw, i hopeyoure feeling well.
where do you wanna start?
beat the grass
in this story, Ana's in college with her friend Tomoe (who's a character later in the Shi series, who uhhhh... dances around like a butterfly and kills people with fans. she's not necessarily a good person, she's likeeee a killer for hire) but rn they're just at a bar. and two guy--im so tired bro, does my head hurt? im gonna get something, illbrb... ok hopefully that helps...
anyway, 2 guys are ignoring them, Tomoe says they like her, Ana's like pssssssh they're ignoring us, Tomoe says "ya on purpose" and Ana's like "no way, I am an auraless, chudless femcel" and so Tomoe proved it and BEAT THE GRASS by walking close to the guys, pretending to drop her purse and showing her delicious thighs. They finally couldn't help it and looked. And then collected their jaws off the ground.
Tomoe was right, and they'd be their dates every now and then in college.
sometimes ya gotta uhhhh... break up the stillness of a situation to get what you want.
bonus: borrow a corpse to bring back a spirit
we'll do a second one because it's finally JAE LEE'S artwork, look how freakin good he is
When Ana wassss... about 16yo, a guy she liked wanted to "Borrow a corpse"-- that of the Emperor, and retvrn to grorious tradition, bring back the spirit of the nation-- he starts a nationalist movement and Ana attends a rally against gramp's wishes.
a mob spots a couple of Christian guys and they all chase them, since Christianity is a disease of the West, even Ana ("to my eternal shame") who was hiding the crucifix around her own neck from the guy
When the mob starts to beat the Christians, Ana finally breaks and saves them, clobbering the guy she liked and running away with them. Once they're safe they all part ways without a word.
now... the colors are good, but i kind wish i took a pic of the line art instead because it's aaaaawesome. I LOVE Jae Lee's work. despite having VERY little exposure to it lmao but bro-- lemme find the Cyberfrog he did, it rocks my world...
check it 
awesome or awesome?
when he did that cover for EVS, he was harrassed by the the usual "sjw" comic faggots like Tom King, the hack writer who hates Christians.
Lee's response was "My dog just died, leave me the fuck alone" and thus he survived his cancelation. What's Tom Kingstein gonna do, continue harrassing a mourning Person of Color (MPOC)?
i got what i wanted
look what i just found on ebay today! 
Return, Haikyo, and Sakura!
oy freaking vey, it was $50, but they're so impossible to find(especially in a set) I didn't even make an offer I just bought it immediately. it's just what i wanted Q_Q it's the best Christmas ever
it's still Christmas btw
The Ziggurat
Way to go, dad!
he went into the Ziggurat(a massive ship parked in the middle of the frozen lake) and was attacked by one of the women. she had the axe, still with his son's blood on it. So presumably she's the one who killed his son, unless they're like *switching weapons* amongst themselves. probably not. she attacked him.
he tackled her, she bit his cheek and was about to tear his face off, but he gouged her eyes out with his thumbs and she ran off and fell down a ladder he'd just climbed up (lol)
Rip in pieces you vile little whore. I overpowered you and took your life away from you (lol) 🙂️
i love putting lol in parentheses now. something about it is sooo obnoxious and great. it's like putting pepper on it. I picked it up from a doujin that i shouldnt have been reading. it- it was kinda wholesome, though. in the end.
vidya
still just playing Zelda. you know, if the blue wizzrobes didn't exist, the game would just be sooooooo comfy. im practically an expert now.(not 2nd quest but idgaf about that) but the blue wizzrobes just eternally suck. every one of them that you kill goes DIRECTLY to Hell.
spamming magic. walking right into you. teleporting into you. require multiple hits even w/ the magic sword.
trash. utter TRASH.
speaking of utter trash, one of these days i should try to finally finish Zelda 2, no matter how miserable it is. but ive-- THIS BLOG WILL NOT BE ANY LONGER. ...okay wait, also i was playing a little bit of Halo earlier lol. Massa Chief collection. it seems to have worse performance than it did years ago. hm. maybe ill try to get into a firefight match, i used to loooooooove those, they were so much fun. uhhh... idk though, i cant seem to tolerate FPS games like i used to. idk if that's me getting old(terrifying) or uh, me just needing new glasses or maybe my monitor's too freakin big now, idk idk... kinda depressing... (lol)

steal a sheep in passing
blog song: St.GIGA archive (go get it!)
hey, i hope you're feeling well. immmmmmm... hm.
where do you wanna start? I'LL TRY TO MAKE THIS SHORTER THAN USUal... i actually had to archive all the previous posts because the page was getting waaaaay too long and loading it in Neocities was like agony ahem, today is... 2025-12-30
steal a sheep in passing
Gramps is out with Ana a few years after her father and brother are murdered by the villain of Shi: Way of the Warrior, this uhh... samurai mob-boss named Arashi. He's really cool. But this story isn't about him. Ana's still a little girl, and they're out at a carnival. Gramps notices some tough guys walking through the crowd. He tells Ana to relax as they pass by them. A few seconds after they walk by, one of the men is screaming in pain. Ana turns and sees him clutching at his intestines. Gramps cut him with a razor-sharp blade while they were walking by. Ana wasn't happy, but he explained that it was one of Arashi's men, and she couldn't afford to be emotional because they were at WAR.
This is one of the early examples of Gramps subverting Mom's Christian teachings to try to turn her into a killing machine. In fact, exposing her to this is kinda like another example of the lesson itself: obviously he didn't tell Mom "I'm gonna go kill someone and have your daughter see it."
"Steal a sheep in passing" is about seizing smol opportunities without drawing attention you yourself.
i should talk about the art, too.
honestly a lot of the artists CAAAAAANT(couldn't) draw Shi. This was in the 90s, maybe that was why. But a lot of them basically drew her with a long angular white woman face, and then... tried to make that Asian just by doing slanty eyes. I'm exaggerating but it's still not good.
Billy Tucci did yesterday's piece "One tree falls for another", and he's just great. Of course it's his character, but still. There's one artist I'm looking forward to... ... ...whose name I can't remember, but he did my *favorite* cover of Cyberfrog, he's great. Oh, oh... Jae Lee. He's great. I peeked at his piece in this and it's craaaaaaaaaaaaazy good. You know another guy who drew Shi pretty well was... JIM Lee lol. So idk, maybe only Billy Tucci and actual Asians were capable of drawing Shi. One woman, I can't remember her name-- she made her body *fantastic*, but then, same issue as all the other guys: some kind of overly-long face with azn features. And Shi *is* only half-Japanese... I think Mom was American(hopefully Italian), Dad was Japanese-- but you can't just take a Handsome Squidward face and give it slanty eyes, hapa girls are CUTE,SHI IS A SUPERMODEL
anyway... imtired...Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
oh, and uhhh... the zzzzzzz......the art... all of the pieces at lesat vaguely relate to the lesson, too. Yesterday... was Shi helping defend a Christian monastery from samurai, and todaywassssssssssss... she'd basically just snatched a guy's spear without him even noticing, and assassinated someone with it-- idk how she managed that actually lol... in the comic, she's sometimes aided by a ghostly army that disorientates her enemies, maybethatwashowZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz im so tired ineed a break.ill brb..................
man i really want to get the other Shi books ;_; Return of the Warrior... Haikyo... Sakura... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! I have tofind them... Tucci has Haikyo on his store, but they're freakin NYCC covers and I dont give a FUCK about New York 😤️
anywayyyyy...
you don't want to mess with us
this is really funny and it reminded me of me being degen yesterday
I think either "Delusional Takes" or "Insane Cope" posted it. Normally they're pretty good, but it's kinda shocking that they read "incest fandom", "you don't want to mess with us" and "signed, Cunny Rapeler" and really took it seriously.
you know who else would take it seriously lol... this guy
i actually watched a good portion of this, and it was like a massacre. I had no idea who the thumbnail was of, but it's "Xanderhal", which is a name I've *heard*, but I've never watched him. I guess he's like a Hassan clone or something. I was deeply unimpressed by the clips of him in this video, where a cool conservative Christian nerd(channel:Remnant777) ritualistically humiliates him and EXPOSES him as a creepy literal-cuck(+she wasn't even good looking) weirdo with no good experience with women, who fantasizes about women with families being miserable. it was just brutal. I'm not telling you to watch it, it's not like, anything groundbreaking(though it is really good and thorough) it was just -- i love that fucking thumbnail lol. I LOOOOVE incel-seethers being exposed as freaks. these fucking faggots want to be bullies soooo badly (Xanderhal literally said "We're gonna dunk on this incel!!!"), it's so fun seeing people standing up to this kind of uh, online leftist numale, and it's happening more and more.
"the ghoul of breadtube came after me LOL" 😂️GOOD FOR HIM!
vidya
i played more Zelda today. just for fun
Mrs. Seinfeld: For FUN?!
yes! i have 10 hearts, the white sword, and im only on the 4th dungeon. i liek that. the "collecting" part of the game, and maybe *most* of the dungeons, is very chill. i wonder if there's any good hacks... instead of ones that try to make it harder(bad hacks).
i cant remember that... OoT hack I played last year, but THAT was freakin FANTAAAAAAASTIC, man. truly truly fantastic.(reminds me i should try those Mario64 ones again...)
i was thinking about doing the OoT MASTER QUEST-- ive never done ittttttt. thatd be fun. kinda like playing it for the f-- well, only the dungeons are changed, I think... aren't they? lemme ask... yeah just the dungeons. well, that's enough. i havent played through it in years anyway...
im so fuckingtired. im so FSERDTGOIJRTIOJH
...
i also need to learn how to use Libretro or find a different copy of Xak 2, it's still in my head.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz im so tired im so tired im so tired
The Ziggurat
...
No one spoke on the other end. As slowly and distinctly as he could, he said, "I am the man whose son you killed, and I am coming to kill you. If you want to explain before I do, you have to do it now."
No voice spoke.
...
COME ON, EMERY!!!!! KILL THEM!!!!!! KILL THEM AAAAALLLLL!!!
Dad brought girls & mom back to town, went back with his son.
in the morning, one of those little fucking alien women crept back to the cabin and axed his son in the back of head
im going to go insane. EMERY, GO TO THE ZIGGURAT. AVENGE YOUR SON, YOU CANNOT DIE UNTIL YOU DO I FUCKING HATE THESE OBNOXIOUS LITTLE CUNTS.
other than me seething, it's a really good story though. there seems to be uhhh... a kind of "man vs woman" theme. not "versus", that's not the right word, but you understand. one quote from earlier maybe sums it up so far: "boys over here, girls over there"-- but just a uh... well, maybe i'll be able to get more into it when it's over. rly good though. pls Emery, teach them the meaning of fear.
also, here's this...
this was compiled by a very smart groyper-- when X started displaying user locations, and a small handful of groypers were in Europe, The Usual Retards and literal dual-citizen spies took screens of those accounts and said "behold, Nick is actually a foreign psyop, he's not really popular at all!"
so this groyper then took the top 100 most popular groyper accounts and put all of their locations into a yummy pie chart, revealing that the something like 90+% of them were from the U.S., and the rest were from Canada, Australia, the UK, and 2 were in Japan.
strangely, no Indian accounts or greatestally accounts, unlike other political movements.
There was also an occasion where a ... foreign... data research organization, the one responsible for claiming that "Christ is King" is a far-right dogwhistle, claimed that all of Nick's fans were bots, essentially because 1- Nick gets more engagement than Hassan(for some reason this doesn't make them suspect that Hassan's followers might not be real), and 2- a lot of them don't use their real names 🤯️ so he deboonked their """"""""""study"""""""""" as well. frankly I just did too, it's not like it was a study, it was just a series of baseless claims.
anyway, so this is probably a good reading list.
i havent actually looked at it though lol

one tree falls for another
blog song: St.GIGA (セントギガ) - Whisper in afternoon B - Tide of Sound (音の潮流) Aircheck
hey , i hope you're well. I'm here. I'm glad you're there.
hey speaking of Halo(we're speaking about it) isn't it COOL that Marty O'Donnell, the man who made the Halo theme, is a Christian? I was gonna have that be the blogsong, but I learned about St.GIGA an hour ago, and I love it.
St.GIGA was a uhhhh... Japanese radio station in the 90s("St.GIGA is credited as being the world's first digital satellite radio station. The Satellaview has received praise for being ahead of its time, particularly for St.GIGA's method of distributing and broadcasting high-quality audio and recordings.")
and they made a peripheral for the SFC that could like... play vidya through ... lemme just freaking find it...
"The Satellaview is a satellite modem peripheral for the Super Famicom, produced by Nintendo as part of the fourth generation of video game consoles. It was released in Japan on April 23, 1995, as the successor to the Famicom's Network System. Containing a megabyte of ROM space and 512 kilobytes of RAM,[1] the Satellaview allowed players to download games, magazines, and other media through satellite broadcasts provided by St.GIGA. Players purchased or rented a broadcast satellite tuner. It attaches to the expansion port on the bottom of the Super Famicom. The Satellaview received extensive support from third-party developers, including Squaresoft, Taito, Konami, Capcom, and Seta."
is that not the absolute tits? is that NOT the absolute small-nipple big tits? I LOVE THAT.
there were freaking... Zelda games for it that were... like they had time-sensitive events, you could only play at certain tiiiimes, i-- it just sounds so cool, i love that.
this is going to leave my brain and never return if i dont write this now, but Wizard 3d printed like, an old chasis for a pc and i love it. everything was just so cool.
a-- im getting off topic. THIS PLAYLIST is liek a bunch of St.GIGA music, right? listen to this:
"The beginnings and ends of programs were not clearly demarcated and instead utilized the unprecedented "Tide of Sound" (音の潮流, Oto no Chōryū) method where songs of one genre would gradually flow into and intersperse with the songs from the prior genre until the new genre became predominant. The intent, according to Yokoi was to allow the listener to relax in a wave of sound "like a baby sleeps in the womb."[3] "Tide of Sounds" broadcasts operated under a principle of "No Commercials, No DJs, No News Broadcasts, No Talk." Unlike most commercial-driven radio broadcasts, this was made possible for St.GIGA due to its reliance on a subscription Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) service."
DOESNT THAT JUST-- JUST--
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it was like the OG Lofi Beats to Study To
anyway, im listening to it now, i love it. im tempted to dl the entire playlist, God forbid it ever gets taken down. ok ok, let's start the blog im sorry... [i forgot: SO THOSE GAMES ARE SO COOL, RIGHT?! I WANNA TRY THEM! i think there's emulation for them, even if we can't recapture that exact feel from when they were originally around. imagine what that was like... I guess technically not much different than online games we play today, but... bro, it just feels so-- ahhhhhhh whatever. I know you understand]
only watch this if you're alone
i've never watched this but it seems pretty good
when he has her arms pinned over her head 😭️👌️
thank God I dont have a sister
degeneracy aside, the animation is just soooooooooo satisfying. the degeneracy's also fun, but I don't have to feel shame for the art being exciting and colorful.
there was a-- im being recommended anime shorts now because I watched a few of Masam-- mu... m..... uma musume.[i will never remember how to spell it on my own]-- and there was one where a girl was like... meeting a guy's sister, and she said "Sorry I'm always raping him", when she meant to say "sorry I'm always bothering him", because the words are similar or whatever. she's super embarrassed, starts trying to apologize and fumbles and makes it worse, sister starts beating up her brother like WHAT KIND OF A RELATIONSHIP DO YOU HAVE WITH HER? Cute and funny moment.
bro. the comments.
the cooooooommmmmmmeeeeennnnnnttttssssssss.
"Male SA victims are never taken seriously..." "His sister is horrible, he's the victim..." every comment is like straight out of a PTSD therapy session. It's SOOOOOO serious.
first of all, you want a red flag? 🚩️🚩️🚩️🚩️🚩️🚩️🚩️🚩️🚩️🚩️ Using abbreviations like "SA" 🚩️🚩️🚩️🚩️🚩️🚩️🚩️🚩️🚩️🚩️
idk if they were Zoomers or Gen Alpha or both, but they're just so royally fucked. idk what to call it, it's like Sexual Autism. It was *already* hard for millennials to get along and now males are being groomed into acting like fucking MeToo lunatics and self-traumatizing whenever anything even remotely approaching uncomfortable happens. The insistence on increasing male victim mentality in general is already evil[feminism really wants men to be traumatized by sex when they otherwise wouldn't be], but in this case where it *literally* didn't even happen, and the sister *obviously* interprets it as a kind of perverse sexual roleplay[granted, these people would then just accuse her of "kink-shaming" anyway], since the girl probably weighs 70lb and couldn't rape a fly even if she was armed with a flyswatter-- it's just sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo AWFUL.
That Time I "Victim Blamed" My Brother Because I Thought a Cute Girl Was Having Sex With Him
these people are going to grow up into the most insane freaks that have ever walked the Earth. This feminist attitude is so beyond antisocial it's basically anti-human. It's completely alien for men to act like this, it is a hostile alien mind-virus.
Hopefully we soon have our first Incel President and he puts everyone who's ever uttered a complaint about "fan service" into camps.
vidya
i finished Zelda. the last dungeon is fucking vile. blue wizzrobes in every room, it's just FOUL. i am not ashamed of using save states for it, either, because it's artificially-lengthened by requiring you to bomb random walls. i could cope, barely, but I could cope, if the dungeon were straightforward with the wizzrobe rpe. but requiring you to backtrack like a retarded mouse in a maze is just NONSENSE. So I was just saving time. I don't have the time, every day it gets harder to get out of bed.
SO YEAH, I'D SAVE, BOMB ALL THE WALLS, AND RELOAD SO I COULD FIND THE RIGHT ONE
tbh i probably saved more bombs than I needed to.
uhhhh... Ganon was harder than I remembered. maybe because i fought him without getting the Red Ring first... probably lol. I was taking 2x the damage that I needed to. but still, i beat him, with a swig of potion to spare.
uhhhhhh... final thoughts...
it's a good game. i've gotten used to it. the first time I ever played it wassss... probably like 5 years ago and I hated it and couldn't tolerate it. I forced myself to finish it like... idk 2ish years ago, and I finally "got it". It's a good game. the blue wizzrobes ARE BULLSHIT, the blue darknut spam is BULLSHIT, but the game is still good. mostly fun.
for it to have come out around the time where so many games were complete and utter TRASH, is uhhhh... impressive. you know, once you know what you're doing, it becomes a pretty chill experience. the amount of stuff you can do before you even enter the first dungeon is cool. you know, you can uh... get your candle and bombs, get some free heart containers, get a potion, get a magic shield... get arrows... get the blue ring to x2 your defense... that's COOL, I LIKE that. i like that level of freedom. (even though the secrets are kinda absurd. i cant imagine the suffering people went through needing to bomb every wall and burn every bush-- needing to leave and come back so you can use the candle again) buuuuuuuuuut... even though that's buuuuullshit, a lot of the extra stuff is pretty easy to find.
...
more zeldaposting, feel free to skip
But you know, I think the freedom of Ocarina of Time is understated, too. I remember... EgoRaptor once made a video negatively comparing OoT to Zelda 1, and he had some points, but besides the dungeon order, there's SOOOOOOOOO much you can do in the game, at almost any time you want! there's like 6 million heart pieces to get, extra/optional items, etc. it's COOL. The dungeon order's on rails, fine. but there's a lot to the game besides the dungeons. there's so many NPCs and little side quests to do. AND BTW, this is what i hated about Breath and Tears, the SIDE QUESTS: in Ocarina of Time, you find a lady's dog, bring it back to her and she gives you a piece of heart. That's a good reward. You play a diving Mini-game and get the Silver Scale. You uh... THE BOTTLES, THE BOTTLES!!!! GOD I MISS THE BOTTLES SO MUCH. you find a lady's cuccos and she'll give you a BOTTLE. What do you get for the same quest in Breath? I can't even remember, but I know that it didn't matter.
In Breath and Tears, you'll do a fetch quest for someone, and they'll give you rupees you don't need or an ingredient you don't need. I DON'T LIEK IT.
In Twilight Princess, you defeat and collect Poes and bring them to this cursed guy, and it's SOOOOOOOOOOOO COOL. and and you COLLECT BUGS for this insane bug loving girl and she gives you -- actually I think she usually gives you rupees... but you know what? that's way more valuable in TP! and i thiiiiink she gives you a wallet, too...
In Majora's Mask, you get the Mask of Truth and the uhhh... Giant's Wallet for going through the Skulltula houses. There is no quest reward in Breath or Tears that is as cool as either of those things. You can always carry a million rupees and you find the handful of "masks" in the game in treasure chests, which you have to find like needles in a haystack in the giant dead underworld.
that's my issue with them. the near-spurposeless of the NPCs. In other Zelda games, you'd be a FOOL to not talk to people. In Breath/Tears, 90% of NPCs have nothing of value to say. And they're really less interesting on top of it. Older Zelda game NPCs were like WEIRD and MYSTERIOUS sometimes, and maybe that was because of translation, but it was cooooool. it felt like you were in Twin Peaks half the time. that's COOL.
BAAAAAH HUMBUG!
senryaku
one tree falls for another. strategic sacrifice, save the better tree.
Like how Noble Squad had to deliver Cortana to uh... Captain Keyes, and ensure he could escape by staying behind.
Gramps told Ana the tragic story of the Yamato where 3,000 Japanese sailors lost their lives in a single warship's suicide mission to astonish the American savages with a grorious disprayru and get them to offer peace.
it didn't work. The Noble Yamato was swarmed and took out only 10 planes of hundreds of planes and ships, and was obliterated with few survivors. The Americans were not impressed, and it changed nothing.
if it *had* worked, it'd be a nice example o--well, the intent is the example.
actually, Gramps and his lil brother both fought in the war. Bro died on the Yamato: maybe he was the tree that fell for another, maybe it would have been Gramps instead? Either way. Sad. Be careful when making sacrifices.
The Ziggurat
Dad found missing twin.
She said that the strange little attackers-- he sees that they're women now--brought her to "the ziggurat", stripped her, made her lie in some cold chamber, and ... then brought her back.
Dad traded the car for her. they stripped it for parts.
also they shot him because he tried getting his hat out of the car. in the side, he doesn't think it's too bad. very very very lucky.
they figured out how to use his gun, really well. that's not good. uhhhh... what else...
well, they got home now--they had to walk back 2 miles in the snow. there's a cute part about gloves, lemme find it...
...
“Have you got gloves?”
“I don’t know.”
He forced himself to be patient. “Well, look. If you’ve got gloves or mittens, put them on.” This girl, he reminded himself, was the wonder of her class, writing themes that would have done credit to a college student and mastering arithmetic and the rudiments of algebra with contemptuous ease.
“I guess those ladies didn’t give them back.”
“Then put on mine.” He handed them to her.
“Your hands will get cold.”
“I’ll put one in my pocket, see? And I’ll hold your hand with my other one, so the one glove will keep us both warm.”
She gave a glove back to him. “My hand won’t go around yours, Daddy, but yours will go around mine.”
He nodded, impressed, and put the glove on.
...
that's nice, right? she kinda reminds me of... maybe Valentine from Ender's Game. you know, how they bred little geniuses. but she's still also like, immature and innocent. i-- man I LOVE ENDER'S GAME SO MUCH LEMME JUST--
lemme...
so Ender, Peter, and Valentine were all little genius kids, right? Their parents were basically... idr, something like the state basically uh, paid them to breed because they were geniuses. (Catholic & Mormon btw, based)
uhhhhhhh...anyway, the kids were always secretly doing --whatever they wanted really, breaking rules, doing experiments and uh getting involved in politics, like whatever. and kinda had some disdain for their parents because they were so much smarterBUT
BUT like towards the end of the book, the parents reveal they really knew everything they were doing all the time, they were never getting over on them, and no, you fucking BRATS aren't smarter than us we just love you. It was really uh, cool and wholesome lol. it was a cool moment for mom & dad who obviously weren't the stars of the story.
anyway... the Ziggurat. i wonder what those obviously-inhuman little dwarf women are up to. i hope no-one dies ;_; not even the golddigger because her daughters would miss her.
