it is your most sacred duty as a member of society to sometimes just say shit like this to random strangers

tomitake from higurashi no naku koro ni saying something like "being here almost makes you feel like The Incident never really happened"

honestly, wood chips would have been an improvement. genuinely felt like eating something consisting of someone trying to sell the runoff of some sort of accident at the cereal factory

tried some of this last year and it was quite possibly the worst breakfast cereal i've eaten in my life

this is so rad, surprisingly good rendition of the track too considering the circumstances

windows defaults to using localtime in bios, linux defaults to using utc in bios. it's not not keeping track of time, linux just changed the bios clock to what it wants, and windows assumed it was still in localtime.

there's a registry key you can edit on windows to fix this

cdjapan might(/will probably) have cheaper shipping options than amazon gives you for a single book like this, at least depending on where you live, to deal with the "shipping more expensive than the book" problem

they'll also pack it better than amazon will

autopiloted myself into this one and the one in shellwood so many times and got so annoyed with myself every time

if i'm enjoying it enough/find it compelling enough that i naturally want to exhaust every choice, i'm happy to do so, but doing it as a matter of course seems like a fantastic way to turn a bunch of enjoyable experiences into things i regret doing

correct move, i think, by the sailor moon s creative team to realize that they weren't going to be able to outdo moonlight densetsu and so just replacing the op with a new version instead of an entirely new song

i do, alas, think it's still a downgrade anyway, but maybe it will grow on me

An old photoshopped image I previously posted to Cohost of a fake YouTube video titled, "2 Hours of Shiori Fujisaki Rejections to Fall Asleep to." The thumbnail depicts Tokimeki Memorial's own Shiori Fujisaki standing at the school gates at the end of the day, rejecting your character's offer to walk home together. As icing on the cake, the fake user icon is a picture of Tokimeki Memorial's crazed science girl Yuina, as depicted in the puzzle game spinoff Taisen Puzzle-dama.

It's one of the dumbest posts I ever ran on there and I'm still proud of it and completely forget I'd ever made it until browsing through my pictures folder just now instead of finishing this translation assignment I'm supposed to deliver.

seems like it also has q3 cpm physics support (or at least some subset of it) judging by way the description of the defrag section is written on the website

this is rad

easier to say, too. the human vocal tract was not designed to say "exclamation point", it's like gargling rocks

i think it was really smart of them to not ask the author to wait more than zero seconds before getting back to posting after making the announcement, in order to make sure everyone involved came out looking as bad as possible as soon as possible

the machine i was hooked up to kept chirping at the phlebotomist today who was getting progressively more annoyed at it and i was starting to get worried i was going to be told my blood was no good

shikaspots @shikaspots.bsky.social · 8d

it's so fucked that a 30 dollar mark down on that game brings it in line with where game prices were capped out a few years ago

you mean you don't love when people talk about how chrono trigger is good because it's unlike all the other jrpgs that are also doing the things they are using as examples of what sets chrono trigger apart?

most depressing possible way to have the "there's never been less of a reason to do this" feeling i had at the start of me finally managing to stick with learning japanese for more than two weeks get proven wrong. it's not even like a fun personal victory, it just sucks

oddly appropriate, in a way. trigger making yuri in a manner resembling that of many yuri protagonists
