why is reading about this unrewarding slog making me nostalgic for my time with this challenge??? though to be fair even at the time I was like "this is fun. why am I doing this? this isn't fun. I want to do this though," on indefinite loop

crack installer that goes slower by a barely perceptible margin if you mute the keygen music

it's early yet but I'm really impressed by Professor Moss Roberts's translation of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. between the approachable, flowing prose and the incredibly thorough annotations, it might be the edition I come to recommend to curious newcomers.

bit Generation: Dotstream (GBA) is my kind of racing game, very interesting paring-down of the genre. I really recommend killing an hour or two with it, it's easy to pick up and put down!

after giving her two books' worth of a shot (Brother, The Devil Crept In) I've concluded I'm not into Ania Ahlborn. insensitive, exploitive fiction that is, moreover, a pretty dull read. it's like revisiting mid-80s Stephen King, but only the parts you forgot because they're boring or offensive.

Of all the easy things you can do to help the environment, conserve water for communities not corporations, not perpetuate scams, support the labor and rights of creators... *not* using generative AI is the fucking easiest. You absolutely deserve to be shamed for using it for image and text creation

lol nevermind, oncology just called to inform me radiation for sure needs to happen. PET scan in 2 weeks.

A Meat called it! meeting with a radiation oncologist in a week and a half to discuss whether radiation treatment is suitable/necessary.

I get that a lot of it is not wanting to make conceptual eye contact with "I spent 70 dollars on something that I'm struggling to enjoy" but it makes an already distrustful woman (me) disinclined to take non-critical opinions about media seriously

there's something a telling about even metroid 5's most effusive fans starting most of their praise with "yes, the game has issues, but-"

mario kart world fans too.

like... why do I feel those issues will be far less tractable for me than you? not that I'm playing it anytime soon, fuck nintendo.

the cover had to be rushed, tonally inconsistent and offputting to thematically match the working designs localization

often the same people who trip over themselves making sure every XIV DLC is neatly accounted for. let's at least have some consistency!

Damn I might be old too, that's kind of a bummer. I know he's like THE western film score guy but it almost suggests his work doesn't stand on its own, which couldn't be further from the truth. Oh well. Vivaldi x Subway Surfers, coming soon.

what is this feeling...? I don't think I've ever- oh! false alarm, just contempt again.

thank you buddy, I'm hopeful too. it was a little hard to absorb everything the surgeon told me during the followup today, blindsided as I felt by the news, but he's optimistic that we're getting to this early enough that non-surgical intervention will suffice.

I would just like more certainty than "probably won't have to surgically remove your stomach." I thought this was an h. pylori thing, I didn't realize that was on the table.

I want to spoil as little as possible, but here's the opening.

I'll definitely be checking out the manga next, all the enemy designs are awesome and inspired and I'm sure they look even better on the page.

since my hospitalization, as a kind of joke just for myself, I've been playing a lot of games with "blood" in the title (blood omen: legacy of kain, blood of bahamut, etc) and I am completely blown away by Blood Will Tell (PS2, 2004), based on Osamu Tezuka's manga Dororo. 10/10 for me specifically.

even with all this accounted for, the odds are lower than they were for my old 5e group's favorite statistical shitpost (each person rolling 4d20 once at the beginning of each session until someone got 69)

I was WAY overthinking it before I was like "Oh there are actually only 36 possible combinations of these two dice," and now that I've typed that out I realize I've STILL failed to account for repeats in the data set (1, 4 not meaningfully different from 4, 1, etc). I've gotta brush up ;w;

sometimes I try to hide my number nerd power level and today I absolutely am not. this shit is more exciting to me than if I'd seen a shooting star
