Old man playing old man games.
Looking for a job in 2026... The best part of this is... even if I applied to this I guarantee I don't get a response.

Guess I'm ready for Earth GW. I spent a bunch of time trying to make Threo or Dante work but couldn't hit 100% TA without barring up a weapon. Then tossed in these 2(three) nerds and it worked out better.

No hate, but I don't like the direction GDQ has gone with its game selection the past few years. I completely understand why, GOTTA GET NEWEST HIT GAME, GOTTA GET CLASSIC HIT GAME, AWFUL BLOCK... But the games just aren't fun or interesting anymore. We're not showing cool runs with fun tricks.

I can't... just, what in the fuck. Everything about this is fucking disgusting. Our government is the government that fiction has been warning and reminding us about for centuries. Our government is what we look at in history and say "This was fucking terrible". And people are cheering it on.

I'm watching a couple in their late teens play Dispatch. I've watched a number of people play this game, and it's crazy how differently young people playing this game see the game compared to older people.

Younger people think EVERYTHING means something it isn't and tie everything to relationships

Wandance, finished the battle competition, and the Wanda flashback that they showed early in the anime.

At this point the manga is better in the writing and what it’s trying to portray, but the anime showing the dances in action really adds so much.

Either way what a truly beautiful series.

Playing a game that takes place in modern day Japan. You can tell the devs know absolutely nothing about Japan outside of anime, within seconds of playing the game. Girl lives in a 3 Bedroom Skyrise apartment. Lol.

Wandance post. I’m up to after the first break dance meet.

There’s differences between the manga and anime some I like the manga better others the anime.

There’s small differences in how Kabo explains his thoughts, the manga is a little more in depth.

The anime makes it more fun and takes breaks

Our power keeps going out… happy new year.

More on Wandance, up to the first competition. I adore every single character in this series. Each personality is just so bright, mannerisms are nailed so well but all of them feel like real people and not exaggerated ideas. They all feel so genuinely real.

Reading wandance, I think the anime is better than manga. Hikari is much more Hikari in the anime, but on that, I haven’t loved a female lead as much as I do her in quite some time now. She’s just a dorky high school girl, but her personality shines so brilliantly bright.

Been super emotional the past day for some reason. Past few days have been a fun little escape from life. Got really happy watching Granbluefest, finally won a tournament series in Alpha 3 that I've been playing in for the past 5 years after many 3rds, but not looking forward to new years.

Finally won one of Rizone's
Alpha 3 tournaments. Granted no Choiboy or Kyokuji this tournament, but I finally got one.

Hands mostly worked, a handful of dropped moves but outside of my very first game (hands absolutely didn't work), ran it under hot water and they worked.

When I look at the new anime season or pick up new manga, I kind of sort the concepts into two basic categories. "This series is only the synopsis" and "The synopsis is only the base setting." Both can be written well and both can be written poorly, but it carries a lot of if i want to consume it.

Only two chapters in the new Granblue main story, and it’s going hard. So many new things, big shake ups with characters, and links to older storylines.

Finally redid my phone's music after a long time. Put a lot of older Hamasaki Ayumi back on. Man, she's not the pinnacle of singers or anything, but her old discography has so many amazing songs.

LOL, just did an initial phone interview at a place, things sounded pretty good, slightly lower pay than I would have liked for the position but not drastically low... no benefits. 1 week of PTO a year, no sick days.

Pay would have ended up being roughly minimum wage after i factored in insurance.

I've been watching the Ranma 1/2 remake. I loved Ranma as a teenager, and I'm starting to feel the remake is better than the original. They learned a lot of things with the Urusei Yatsura remake involving animation, timing, and impact. They've improved on all these aspects that lacked.

Gist of it is, they are a group promoting the use of competitive video games for the elderly to practice healthy competition to lift cognizance, spirits, and health.

The worst part about the terrible state of employment right now is the horrible effects on the mental. It slowly kills any confidence you have like you're actually not good enough. Like there's something wrong with you that you can't find a job, exasperating things like imposter syndrome.

A bunch of people talking about the JP style 711 Egg Salad sandwich being in the US now.

Hate to break it to you, but part of the reason the JP Egg Salad sandwich was so good was because JP eggs are insanely high quality and taste different than the eggs in the US.

Watching people that don't know how to cook... try to cook is the biggest rage bait in existence.

Didn't get the job, they told my recruiter I lacked management experience, which makes sense, as I don't have any management experience.

Had a job interview today that mostly went well. I had to take an advanced excel test and use formulas like vlookup. I did everything correctly except the =sumif, because I couldn’t remember that the ref needed quotes around it. It’s a good job with a credible company that pays well…
