Okay, my Patreon page is live. I'll be adding the free preview chapters of the books later today (as soon as I make sure everything is working), but there are some other things to read in the meantime, as part of my "Byston Well Primer Series"

Fun Fact: The part where Sakomizu (probably) shits himself isn't in the original version. That's all 2010 Tomino

the complete edition. Some of the character names have also been changed. It really reinforces my desire to take a crack at the originals some day, although at that point we'd be so deep in the weeds that I'm not sure anyone else would care. I might start working on it very slowly, though.

the 1983 version that aren't in the "complete" version, or they just get mentioned as having taken place in passing, without providing further detail. Sakomizu makes different observations about Byston Well between the two versions as well. Of course, there are scenes that are newly added to

The more I refer to the original version of Rean, the more small differences I see. The two versions follow the same story beats, but at times it seems like they can be quite different. I assume that Tomino cut what he did in the name of removing redundancy, but there are a lot of interactions in

Youtube algorithm's like "Hey you watch a lot of street fighter videos, wanna watch this one?"

No, Youtube! Not really!

I become very upbeat and motivated every time the [x] Days Since A New Patreon Sub counter gets reset. The next chapter of The Wings of Rean comes out on Wednesday. It's very nautical.

Basically I figured would never own a pc98 and that the msx would be enough to give me a taste, and then a pc98 showed up locally

I’m never going to own an FM Towns or an X68000, but…I can kind of see myself with another PC98

This is insane. I feel like I’m going insane when I’m watching this. Not just the fact that it’s clearly their fault, but the way a heavily-armed squad of masked thugs immediately jumps into the street and brutalizes the woman they just hit, despite having no idea who she is.

After a week off due to forgetfulness, the random game thread returns. Let's rummage through the SFC bin today...

Seiken Densetsu 3. Not a very exciting pick, but a random one.

I think it looks better than it functions, ergonomically speaking, but I'm not a particularly skilled trackball user. Especially not with my thumb.

to be clear, the President is bombing civilians in international waters and sending the army into peaceful cities domestically but this fellow thinks he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize

FOX: Do you think Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize?

FETTERMAN: If this sticks. I think the whole point of having a Nobel Peace Prize is for ending wars and promoting peace. And if he brings the Ukrainian war to its end, I will be the Democrat leading the committee for his Nobel Prize Peace.

I think it also depends if the sender is prepaying the tariffs. Amazon usually does, but this was coming from an Amazon seller.

Yeah, I've gotten enough pre-delivery shakedowns from them that I'd pick someone else if given the option, but in this case there wasn't a choice. I do appreciate that they give you the paperwork for it though, just in case there's ever a class action lawsuit or something
