I'm not going to lie, I kind of wish both on here and twitter I could somehow add myself to other peoples blocklists, I feel being able to do that would clear up a lot of the dumb shit you see on recommended feeds. :p

On one hand, I am sad that I will not be doing a Roger Smith Cosplay this year since I'm cutting my vacation a day short.
That said, I was planning to do three cosplay next year as well, but couldn't decide on the third so... I guess that will be Roger Smith. :p

And soon I shall begin my replay of Stella Glow! I do still like the Luminous Arc games, but there is no getting around it's largely just forgettable. Something that was good if you happened to pick up when it released, but nothing you should feel obligated to seek out.

So I've been replaying some of the Imagepooch games, specificall the SRPG's Luminous Arc. Overall, I liked a lot of their games, but... I see why the company folded. Most of their titles were just okay, with a couple really bad ones.

Don't have bluesky on my phone, and I've been PCless a couple days.
Been rewatching some old shows while I awaited my new PC to arrive.
Heroic Age, DNAngel, and now Big O. Been too long since I've given them a watch.

This playthrough of Luminous Arc has been pretty enjoyable. Short version is it is, in all almost all regards, a good game.
But some aspects of this script very much feel like the bad aspects of localizers putting in bad jokes. Can't find another translation though, so can't confirm.

There are three games I am planning to replay this year, because I have not touched them since their initial release: The First two Luminous Arc games, and Stella glow, all SRPG's on the DS.
Then I will play the third Arc game, which recently got a fan translation.

Just a new year reminder, Politics on social media is far more volatile than in real life. For over a year my TTRPG group ran with a full on Maga guy, feminist Bernie supporter, a couple variations of libertarian, and an apolitical guy. All got along just fine.
