she/her, 30s
flatmate is supposed to leave for tokyo in ~12 hours.
has she started packing yet? nope.
did she book her train ticket to the airport yet? no.
did she book her *flight* yet? let's just say she's still considering her options.

again we have reached the "plan out multiple lessons at once, 17 different papers and books open, while watching something distracting, because this is not the most urgent thing i should be doing" stage of things

not a board games person, so this might have been obvious to everyone already, but I wonder if this was the inspiration behind tactica?
the design is very ascendancy as well imo: shop.spiel-tac.de/TAC-Boardgames

oh hell no, I'm not getting into any discussions about music genres in 2025. especially with people who clearly should know better, I'm simply not giving them the engagement and deleting my comments instead.

if you think fandom is a cringeworthy reason to study sth, welcome to my "cute guitarist helped me realize early on how the database model from 90s otaku culture expanded to connect and codeify a lot of subcultural elements" world

this whole next week's a to do list. I'm already behind on all the things for monday, and it's still fucking sunday. but I really needed a day off-off. sitting doing nothing, alone and inside.

ways VW apparently f'd up the nana collab collection:

- they put things in the stores before announcing it, so some of it was already sold out by the time they posted
- offered the really in-demand rare pieces in the "wrong" color/cheaper make to diehard fans AND made them v limited again

how did bad nerves go from random ramones/strokes mashup fast enough for me to consider the local show to uh, special guests for green day - australia tour - japan show? like what happened there?

student papers so good I'm unsure whether I should be getting suspicious or just feel incredibly inadequate
(tbh I've been working with them to develop the ideas so leaning towards the second option, but wow, someone sure fell down a deep, deep rabbit hole here)

student came up to me today and asked if I thought their research idea was too weird (it was cool)

unrelated, but I just saw an announcement for a presentation on "locating men's undergarments"

my friends just played an excellent, almost (?) sold out solo show that they managed to lock in just two weeks ago, after another location in a different city had bailed on them. on a monday, right after a long haul flight no less.
fuck I am so proud and relieved right now.

This excellent article covers the history of Crunchyroll subs, the strengths and weaknesses of different subtitle formats, executive disdain, and the importance of giving people who care about their work time and support enough to do a good job. Give it a read, I promise you’ll learn something!

Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason

A ton of research and effort went into this one. This is the article to read to get to the bottom of Crunchyroll's subtitle changes!

Replies here will show up as comments (eventually)
Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason | Daiz.moe
With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.

yes, i am indeed back on my train bullshit once again. roundabout 9h for 1000km every week, which I can use to work and/or drink beer, if I'm not actively fighting the urge to throttle someone.

hey hey mouse, real quick: if there's a SW movie (or live action series) about a character you could just *not* make, I have a few ideas for you. just give the original authors the green light for books instead and we're all good.
