Just a sad puppet dancing to someone else's tune.

Oh, and I also like Infinity Nikki, manga, and videogames, I guess.
I really hate the term geriatric millennial.

The oldest millennial is only in their mid-forties and yet people talk about us like we are all dementia addled codgers.

I guess it’s the flip side of being infantilized. When we were younger, it was always said with a sneer. We were stupid kids.

Trying to log into LaDS for the first time in six months for the vampire Sylus event and the update to get the app up to speed is like a billion gigabytes big.

Ah, bliss!

After three and a half weeks, the remodel is officially over.

There is not an inch of carpet in this house and our bathroom works.

Now I have to unpack everything I spent the last six months packing

This is absolutely true.

The metric I’ve seen used to justify Avatar’s lack of cultural impact is the number of fan fics posted on AO3.

Some people are so brain rotted they cant comprehend a like or admiration of something expressed outside the style of internet fandom
people think Avatar has “no cultural impact” because they confuse “rabid, ever-present fandom” with actual people experiencing a piece of culture
you might be wondering "who goes to see the avatars?" it's me, i go to see the avatars. i love that shit.

Very Merry otome Christmas.

Isn’t it curious how LRG, a company that operates off FOMO, always seems to find copies of their one print run only games for their preferred retailers?

Just case you are one of the 13 people on the planet clamoring for a videogame based on the 1980's TV version of Space Adventure Cobra, let me assure, while far from perfect, this is better than such an improbable licensed anime game has any right to be.

It is almost December.

We are going into week four of my big fat remodeling mess and they are still not done yet.

We have a working shower, but the curtain rod has to be special ordered to fit the stall. No one can use it without the water splashing out everywhere.

Viz releases exactly 1 volume of Kaze Hikaru per year.

I just caught up on the volumes I needed to order since the last time I ordered manga.

And I realized the series is so long that at this rate I will be in my fifties by the time it finishes it's English run.

As if I didn’t have enough reason to hate anime on Prime Video.

Bad enough that the presentation is terrible — the subs look like trash and they always try to skip the ending credits which a problem for B Fish since they often squeeze 90 seconds more story in putting credits over normal animation
The Banana Fish AI dub is trash, but it’s also such an insult to the source material, which is an INCREDIBLE piece of art. Everyone who worked hard on the manga+anime deserves better. EN VAs who would’ve been overjoyed to work on a dub deserve better. And *YOU* deserve better!

This summer I had a cola bottle explode in my fridge. I couldn’t explain why it was this liquid icy slush that got on everything.

Until today.

It turned into soft ice and the pressure inside the bottle caused the explosion.

OMG 😳

I swore off gachas, but I might have to log back into LADS for this.

Everyone was too full to eat the peach Cobbler My mother spent hours cooking yesterday.

So we are eating it for breakfast today

One thing they never tell you about remodeling is the huge clean up you get left with.

I can understand the bathroom and connecting bedroom being a mess, but the floor replacement threw dust on everything. All the furniture. Even the new floor is coated in residual dust.

Somehow I don’t think the bathroom is getting finished today. The work crew had to call in more guys.

My kingdom for a working shower.

Last night I removed the carpet beater bar completely from my vacuum cleaner.

I have no carpet in the house aside from some rugs and I don’t think I will remember to press the disengage button each time I turn it on.

Feels easier to just put back on the rare times I’ll need it.

Ooof. Between this and the negative reaction to the navigator character pre-release, it’s Not looking good for Metroid fans.
I have to report that Nintendo forgot to celebrate Metroid Monday yesterday (I bet you didn't know it was a thing)

I’ve decided I am going to give Elden Ring one more try.

This will be my third time restarting it.

If they have the blueberry cheesecake croissants next time you go to Costco, buy them.

Possibly the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten. They are soft and sweet like eating a cloud made of cream.

Things I’m learning about non carpeted floors.

Easy to clean and your feet will tell you when you have even a spec of dirt in your house.

Will give you excuses to purchase stylish rugs.
