Also there are some weird translation issues; as in, it's p obvious that is just not what they're saying from the context of the story. One error - what I assume was an error - in the last chapter threw me for a loop and made me question the innocence of someone I was fairly sure didn't do it.

DWaM @dwam22.bsky.social · Sep 8

Finished Shuten Order. I think it was fun overall. Some routes are definitely better than the others, and I feel like the order chosen may affect some of the enjoyment of the mystery. I also feel like the final chapter dragged on -- especially near the end. But overall, I had a good time.

sorry today i found out that a bunch of minecraft rp servers implemented a banking system and accidentally ended up replaying the 2008 recession? right down to there being a guy who shorted everything like in the Big Short? am i understanding this right?

I think the first few arcs of King’s run have some pretty good moments, this included, but by the end the writing gets pretty exhausting, even when you get what he’s going for. Editorial mandates didn’t help

“Walk it back. Don’t bow down to them” sure man, whatever you say

Like anything short of payment processors walking this back isn’t going to make this better. Anything itch itself does will end up with a bad taste in everyone’s mouths because it’s mitigation not a fix; they can’t do much else

I have my own problems with itch but can the people in the replies take two seconds and realize this is basically a dozen people chain smoking in a room trying to figure out what to do? And why are we pretending that itch communicating the situation any differently would change the core problem here

Finished No Sleep for Kaname Date. If you like the first two games and the characters, it's more of that; mostly a goofy side story with the occasional serious character moment. Escape room segments were fun. Don't play for the mystery, though - there's no real uchikoshi mindfuck in this one

Wanna congratulate apple for the really innovative air pod design where if I accidentally drop the casing the earphones shoot out 100 meters into the distance

the pirate software guy is obnoxious but watching all the slop coming from all the drama channels is even more so honestly; it's like vultures feasting on a fresh corpse
