I've been on Mint for a few months now and it's been more or less a delight the whole time.

Cannot stress enough how much I want a copy of the scripts for these translated so I can read them

Whilst thinking about what comes next I dug into (read: found on Wikipedia and archive.org) the audio serials of Dirty Pair that were done in 2006-2007. Check this shit out:

I would never want to celebrate being done too early but it is pretty good to have done this complete podcast series (barring some time to get the remaining episodes edited, of course).

Dirty Pair: Project P.O.D. @projectpod.bsky.social · 3d

Today is a good day to have finished recording the final episodes of our fair Dirty Pair podcast. We've done it, everyone, and in a few weeks you'll have the whole thing there for you to listen to! #dirtypair #anime #podcast

it's spooky season, and @captainitaly.bsky.social and I have a proper fucked-up story just for it. Enjoy!

Inspired by Norse myth, "Mead of Poetry" details one man's search for wisdom that turns into a twisted nightmare.

cow tools daily @cowtoolsdaily.bsky.social · 5d

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book

“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register.

Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.”

I did not expect to say this but it's very possible Absolum ends up as my personal game of the year. Saw credits and had to get my brother to talk me out of starting another run immediately because it's 1 am and I've got work in the morning.

Look I say this a lot but if somehow you've never played DOOM you should probably fix that about yourself. One of the best goddamn games to ever exist (and this is a pretty good way to play it).

Lost a hard drive and with it literally all the anime, movies, and comics I've collected over the last 15 years or so. If you feel the urge to tell me I should back my stuff up do me a favor and don't I promise I am mad enough at my past self about that already.

I reckon this is the end of the Löwen's point scoring streak. 3 goals in three minutes just to get to overtime is asking perhaps more than they're up to at this point.
