Scanning a #PC88 game manual, I came across this cute fellow

somebody please play harpoon with me so i can learn the game enough to make a supplement about one of those alternate history military scifi stories where the ijn just keeps make more and more batshit designs with advanced technology in the 1950s and 1960s (just want akitsushima with an aegis pls)

my toxic trait is that i always default to transliterating and pronouncing the japanese name "kurisu" as "chris"

me, playing galaxy fraulein yuna: ya know, these designs remind me an awful lot of the ones from shield girls (they're made by the same fucking person)

have a sudden urge to do a giant gravity bong hit and then pass out for forty minutes behind my friend's couch and wake up like "wtf is this giant bucket of water doing here"

of all the things i've done in my life that have affected me for the better, hating popular things is easily and without a doubt the most enriching and rewarding

thinking about how lucky we are to have OBS these days. I remember using hypercam2, or Techsmith Jing, or any number of screen recorders to try and do Lets Plays on windows XP. I remember it being a huge day when my parents bought us a FRAPS license (37 entire dollars!) for a birthday present

would love to see the venn diagram of "thinks religious people are stupid for believing something just because it is written in a book" and "insists that their interpretation of a fictional canon is factually correct and supported by real evidence"

okonomiyaki--literally "grilled as you like it"--was invented in osaka to celebrate the success of famous osakan playwright william shakespeare

Petitioning the creation of roguelites with obtuse dynamic difficulty systems that intensify for each upgrade you take in a roundabout way which cancels out any benefits, tricking people into playing an arcade game and thinking they're getting better because of their stats instead of their skills

tried to start a commune on myst island but fell apart over basic things like taking out garbage, doing dishes, who resets the puzzles at night, which brother to give the pages to, who gets to sleep in the spaceship, etc

Since discovering it last night I've become obsessed with this copy of Keijo on DVD that's listed on eBay and originally came from a public library

snake eater more like uhhh cheese eater 🐭🧀 comm of kikicheesu as Big Boss! thank uuuu 💖

what i would not give to be that person who watches galaxy express 999 _after_ maetel legend and space symphony maetel

i spent the better part of a year digging really hard into the cultural/ideological/philosophical origins of cyberpunk, particularly through the lens of continental philosophy and how it treats the idea of technological determinism

impulse-purchased an e-yooso mechanical keyboard at the pawnshop without realizing that it's backlit so i guess that means--and i take absolutely no pleasure in admitting this to all of you--that i am now officially a g*mer

i saw a billboard today for the local library and it said "this card (they meant a library card) means internet without the receipt" and i realize they were talking about the _price_ but because i'm me i was like "fucking badass library offering me a way to do untraceable crimes"

Tropics Famous author Tomihiko Morimi is in agony. He cannot think of an idea for his next book. Procrastinating, he rereads the Arabian Nights, which reminds him of Tropics, a novel he owned in college that vanished from his bedside table before he could finish it.

oh no the chapter of the book i'm reading is suddenly filled with references to dream of the red chamber now i have to go read it

𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄? If you find something that's too difficult for you to do on your first attempt, you should: • give up immediately

i feel like in some ways the wild west of the early 3d fighting game era is way underappreciated--last bronx, soul edge, and virtual on were my arcade regulars for a brief and glorious time after that i kind of fell out of love with 3d fighters--i still enjoy them but never as much as i did in 1996

meanwhile, in ms paint world: leader of the g-troops (Yoko Kono from Last Bronx)

playing galaxy fraulein yuna and i got to the part with the swimsuit contest where the bombermen show up as judges and i just totally lost it

i wonder how many businesses would just straight up fail if people actually cancelled subscriptions they aren't using

me: i would like to work on my creative projects but unfortunately i have to put them on hold because this video game has sucked me into it also me: i got bored of this video game and quit playing it guess i'll just sit around and stare at the wall for four hours every night between dinner and sleep

just learned that the word "governor" is derived from the same greek route as "cyber" but through the latin gubernator and it is only the accidents of the arbitrary nature of historical language usage and change that we talk about cyberpunk instead of gooberpunk
