Zebra Sarasa. Bought one on a whim at a 711 in Tokyo a long time ago, kept coming back.

White vinegar, run them again. All good.

But I don’t want to stop.

I’ve always known he was a real ghoul. On his death, I decided to see if Behind the Bastards had an episode on him. Just a few weeks ago, they finished uploading the sixth episode on him of the series. What timing.

I’ve listened to them and wow. Knowing his story kinda makes me lose all hope in the decency of people.

Yay, I’m in bed now! Good thing, I was getting eepy.

An open world, survival, party based rpg. Survival elements are light and focused away from micromanaging every crop placement and every floorboard. Player parties build cities, forts, roads.

It’s like: Minecraft without the block gimmick or detailed building capabilities. Skyrim with more playable characters in a player built world without a set storyline. Valheim without the heavy focus on survival elements or linear progression. Party management and diversity like a tactics RPG.

I’d love it to have several for game loops to bury yourself into. City building, character builds, crafting, gathering…

And multiplayer capable, self hosting if desired.

This is a pipe dream. A game that huge is too difficult to make for a game that wouldn’t have larger appeal.

Now this is schizoposting.

I actually stopped using it a few years ago because of a weird glitch I kept encountering where it would forget how to render non-standard symbols on websites (I forget the technical description, it’s been years). Sites like Twitter became neigh unusable because I couldn’t tell what any button was.

With all the recent problems, I know I want to switch back. Just haven’t had the time and patience to do it.

Some of my favorite games from back in the day had a half dozen vendor intros. There were a few years where they were completely out of hand. It’s not all so bad these days.

Way back when, I had a job where I used them regularly. Always had one on me at work. And therein, I had 4 or 5 at home any given day.

My really obvious one, and a huge source of problems for me, is Discord. But the biggest one was a wild one:

Irfanview

It is a super-fast image viewer and simple image editor. Supports every format I’ve ever thrown at it. Bulk conversion and resize works like a charm. Hell, it’s half the reason I haven’t moved to Linux for my daily use.

Irohas Melon Cream Soda. Long since discontinued Japanese seasonal item from about five years ago. Others come close, none are as good.

Yes, because it’s tasty.

It was a decade ago, I doubt the same one is still available. Lucky, I have heard they are all about the same at that price point.

A $30 bidet changed my entire quality of life. Couldn’t recommend it enough. It’s been neat to see them popping up more in local stores, though. A decade ago, that was unheard of.

Ages ago, I had the owner of a business I supported tell me I could remote into his computer any time that day, it would be available to me. I remoted in about 5 minutes after that call and he was amidst some fullscreen hardcore pornography. I respect that sort of move.
