Think I'm good and done for the day but I did play some non-rhythm games! Got in some Initial D and also tried one of those selfie booth type things.

There's a lot of actively skeevy to merely devious shit that Google gets away but one thing that feels especially egregious to me is how every time I get a Notice of Settlement type email, Gmail marks it as spam /every/ single time.

Boutta head out to the first rhythm game tournament I'm actually participating in! And not just spectating. My pool starts in two and a half hours. My goals are simple: try not to embarass myself on stream, and get at least one win in there somewhere.

Even if this is branded for the live action adaptation, even now when anime is more mainstream than ever, it's still kinda whack to walk into the LEGO store and see this.

I'm glad for that writeup on the state of Round1 because somehow every time I go to my nearby one they've found some way to squeeze even more crane games onto the floor. It's a little ridiculous. The rhythm game corner is the last bastion of offerings without prizes or tickets.

I lost the post but I saw someone talking about how isekai anime/light novels invented the "kicked out of the hero's party" whole cloth, and I mostly agree but also that happened to my buddy Diarmuid ua Duibhne.

Getting a lot of follows from either bots or maybe just people that don't seem particularly real today so! Let's make sure we're all on the same page. You got anything in your profile about your enthusiasm for genAI? That's an instant block. I get enough of that shit in my professional life.

Every episode of MF Ghost is the funniest shit because every other driver on and off the road will think "there's no way this Kanata kid can do some wild shit here" and that will be when the eurobeat starts playing.
