No need to come down so heavy on the mod. I am invoked with calm knowing that fragments from history are still around.

It's nice to know that everyone's already played every Switch game imaginable, but I own a rare earth metal gaming mouse that I was lucky to nab before the duties started, and it has 59.745 million clicks left in the tank.

Don't want to be one of them 🔫

Low HP/MP, handful of ethers and phoenix downs, haphazard asterisks, bears all the hallmarks of a man without a plan.

Stop. Freeze frame. Slowly pan/center/zoom. "I think all workers should be subjectable to performance reviews and impromptu intervention. Blind faith is the LIE in unreliable."

A woman in black and silver armor with horns wants to know if you're ready to play fight. It's set in a mossy grotto.

You can, "Yep. Let's do this" or "Not just yet. Could you give us a moment?"

When the Returner's beat kicks in

A man and young woman are having a chat against the mountainside next to the entrance to a cave. She has armored pink shoulderpads, and wearing a very short red dress and heels. He is scruffy with long hair and beard, wearing loose-fitting garments and black shoulderpads.

Why use AI to get a preview when you can just defeat a boss and yoink his asterisk?

An image featuring gobs of activity. Prominent is a puff of smoke. 4 heads can be made out in the midst. In camera far left is a figure breaking off in a getaway. He is down to his underwears. Slim, middle-aged, light-brown hair. Could speak Portuguese.

If my IQ is so high then why did I get a hard D in "5-week Intensive Managerial Finance" during the same month the Valorant β came out? (Don't tell the Department of School 🚌).

Proof of superior than human perseverance if you ask me.

A valid way to re-experience the OG run—not so much for 1st-timers (there's inaccuracies). Some scenes rival the anime but the overworld isn't the main feature. Addictive gameplay loop, caught myself grinding new abilities. Steady mechanics drip keeps battles fresh but 1st boss was hardest (Vegeta).

Dunno why 98.67% of Trader PoPo's goers think I'm just there to grub. I'm legit there for Senzu Beans and artichokes (and Ube Ice Cream and Pancake Bread).

I take my warriordom ultra seriously.

A shot of young Gohan in Super Saiyan form speaking to the Namekian child, Dende. They are standing at the entrance to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber on Kami's Lookout. Mr. Popo can be seen photobombing at the left edge.

The captions reads, "I don't mean to complain, but it's not very tasty."

Same shot as previous but the camera has panned to the right, revealing a Piccolo entering.

The caption reads, "Forget it."

Same shot as previous but Piccolo is now standing, Dende and Gohan are giving attention.

The caption reads, "Warriors don't have the luxury of 24/7 access to fine cuisine. We have to give everything we have, regardless of the circumstances. That is why we train."

Losers who think that just because that they said a thing first that it gives the thing any degree of tangible credence likely didn't have enough friends to play "Slug Bug" with as a kid.

Slug bus - 5 punches

One of the most impressive VA performances to me is the dub for Inuyasha. He basically grunts for all 5 seasons (because he's a half-demon).

I was unable to appreciate this when it aired on Cartoon Network.

Images from the never-localized RPG on the PS1, released 24 years and 4 days ago (2001):

Side view of Inuyasha. He is dashing through a forest.

Inuyasha, Kagome, and Kaede seated around a table. They are in a wooden house.

Inuyasha and Kagome stand before a man brandishing a large sword accompanied by a throng of his accomplices. There is debris scattered about the room. They may be in trouble.

Finna be 2 days behind with DBZ:K but with doing voice bits (there were 28 in Ch. 3 alone) — and having to learn air and hydration management — it comes to about right.

Scratch this

I could use spreadsheets and straight line math to get a sketchy idea of when things will finish. But it will be more accurate as I accumulate more data and as the dates get closer.

Update: Thought I could beat a game every 2 weeks -21 times- (21 x 2 = 52 weeks = 1 year), but I've been bested.

So instead of slaving away to the Gregorian calendar, I'll be following my own "The 𝘳𝘱𝘨𝘣𝘢𝘬𝘭𝘰𝘨 Calendar"—the time it takes to complete 21 RPGs in a single sitting.

See you on The Veldt
