    This is it, the achieving moment in my three year long plan, all I have done for the Team Fortress 2 community has led to this moment. When Highpass comes out, there should be a thing in a dark room behind a glass. I hope it has enough light.

    Anime General Discussion

    I just re-watched Gen'ei Wo Kakeru Taiyou or Day Break Illusion or whatever that other foreign title for it is. I feel the need to share my opinions on it despite it being one of those shows few people watched and fewer people remember. There's spoilers but I doubt any of you care, so here goes. What the show did right: -Middle Arc: The show's first half is monster-of-the-day shenanigans as the magical girl squad of 4 get to know each other all while killing abhorrent monsters created by the negative emotions of humanity. The next three or so episodes take off with some interesting plot points: The monsters (called daemonia) apparently have some kind of intelligence behind them that is co-ordinating them. This leads to the debut of the minor antagonists, the negative-clones. These clones draw from the same source of power as the magical girls they are cloned to fight, so their powers are exactly the same and more importantly, killing one also kills the other. This creates some great scenes as all the magical girls in the group have to come to terms with the fact that they may one day have to kill themselves to kill the enemies they've been working to fight so far. The camaraderie they cultivated over the previous episodes shows a bit here, as the group talk amongst themselves about what they'd do if faced by their negative clone, it's some great tension and leads to my favourite character Ginka having a heartfelt talk with her dad before going off to kill her clone (and herself.) The loss of Ginka, the girl who brought the group together, actually has quite the effect on the group and they all seem a little more distant after that. -Luna: Luna was literally nothing: the character for the first six episodes. There was a little bit about her being a part of a royal family and disregarded for being a child and used only because of her blood. There was also a little bit on how she relied on her sister, who mysteriously disappeared, and how she turns to rely on Akari, the main character, to a worrying degree. Throughout the six episodes there are little scenes where she is part of the group but left out (due to her SUPER BETA-NESS, she misses out on all those hot yuri flags with Akari, such as the "sharing food" flag, "helping akari up after she fell over" flag, etc), but at the same time everyone still is happy and it seems like she gets over it. Then at the end of the clone arc, she gets duped by the intelligent leader Daemonia, stabbed through the stomach, and experimented with by imprinting a Daemonia into her while she was still alive. Which leads to some horrible consequences, like her being turned into a rabid magical animal hell bent on killing all her friends. But all of it was due to her obsession with Akari and her lack of will to fight, and it was quite the "oh shit" moment when it happened. -The artstyle: When it works, it's pretty unique and I love gradient hair so it looks extra pretty. I like most of the character designs and I'd kill for a scale fig of Ginka. What the show did wrong: -The artstyle: While it looked nice when it worked it also had some problems with eyes looking weird (mainly with seira and her SUPER SLANTY SERIOUS EYES) and also the problem of drawing all characters like little girls. The men's heads looked too big along with their eyes and it was just weird. -Everything after the Clone Arc: It's hard to talk about a dark magical girl show without bringing up madoka, so here goes: after the clone arc is kinda dropped in favour of doing a SUFFERING part like Madoka had. Complete with replaying a series of events that always end with Akari killing her cousin who she was really close to, even. It wasn't anywhere near as well-timed or powerful as Homerun's Time Trek, and in my opinion exploring the clones would have been a better way to have an ending arc. Also the final boss, who was the intelligent Daemonia who throughout the story had been manipulative and conniving rather than a brute-force attacker, naturally turned into a three-story tall demon and fired laz0rs at the girls. It was a total turnaround from what the guy normally did and was just a big fight for the sake of big fights. -Dropping the clone arc: This brings up a lot of Frodos. There's a notable amount of power within specific tarot cards (tarot cards correspond to magical girls) and since the clones had the same amount of power as their magical girl counterparts, it begs the question that they didn't summon the Emperor and the World and orbital strike the magical girls (the orbital strike being an ability the holders of the Emperor and the World had and used, mind you). Plus, only three clones out of eight magical girls present ever came up. I guess you could say that they took time or energy or human souls and tears to make, but then they could have just went and bided their time until they could buy the strongest tarots, make negative clones from them, and then kill everyone because the orbital strike is broken powerful. -Other things that got dropped: Everyone gets better after Akari trades herself for a wish (and then the people she made better with the wish turn around and save her from the clutches of the demons. Oh well. I don't know why they actually granted her the wish especially since they stated to her that she'd never return to the mortal world and would never have a way to figure out whether or not they granted their wish.), and wishes for everyone to recover. Well, that's fine and all, but the wish also apparently just made them all get over all the problems that got in the way as well, despite Luna's emotional instability being caused by a lifetime of mocking and abuse; I guess the wish was just that powerful. Also Ginka came back to life. That was explained slightly better but it was mainly just to have a happy ending and also to have an (admittedly badass) scene where she comes in and clears a path for everyone to save Akari from the grips of evil demons. There's a few other plot threads that don't really go anywhere but those are the main ones off the top of my head. My synopsis: it's okay. I wouldn't recommend it. If anything I'm just sad that they didn't explore the negative clone idea more, because it'd have been cool to see all the characters either come to terms with the idea that they need to sudoku to kill their enemies, or finding a way around killing their enemies but still dealing with them. But it has gradient hair. That counts for something.

    Introduction.

    ​We had to phase out that part of the initiation due to odor complaints. Apparently externalized internal organs don't smell all that fresh for too long, and we narrowly avoided investigation into "suspicious organ harvesting activities". I'm honestly not sure where they got that idea from. Friendly tip: If you want to delete quotes, you gotta work for it. Hover your mouse just above the quote you want to delete until you see a red dotted line appear with a red "Enter" symbol at the right side of the text editor, click that little Enter symbol. This will create a new line just above the quote you want to delete, your text entry cursor should have moved to this new line, if it hasn't, move it there. Press the Delete key twice (It also creates a single space for some reason, which is why you need to push the Delete key twice.), and you'll be left with the contents of the quote, but the big quote box is gone~! It's a pain in the ass, but it's the only way to accurately delete quotes, because trying to just use the Backspace key just has the entire quote nest collapse on itself like it was built by a drunk (It probably was.) ​Who in the hell thought that was a good idea. That sounds so needlessly complex than just having a button that says delete quote...

    Dreams

    I had a dream a couple of days ago, but it might honestly have been a vision of my death. I was sitting a military transport with a bunch of other guys, we're in full gear and all. I have no fucking idea where this truck is going, but I guess you don't get to ask many questions in the army anyway. After a short drive, the truck stops and we all get unloaded in this really large pinewood forest. It's evening, pretty dark and the snow was falling gently. There was already like knee-deep snow when we got out, so walking around was really difficult. Me and the guys in the truck were basically the fresh-faced recruits and everyone else already in the area seemed like they had been through some shit. After standing around trying to keep warm for a good fifteen minutes, us new guys all get taken around to our positions. I got told to jump in a foxhole on the front of the line together with one of the veteran guys. The guy in my foxhole isn't paying any fucking attention to me, so I start making really awkward small-talk. After about thirty seconds of me talking about myself, the guy asks me if I smoke. I tell him that I do and then he tells me to grab one so I can shut the fuck up. So I pull out a cigarrette from my chest pocket and light it while the other guy just stares at me. After I had inhaled a couple of times, he shakes his head, pulls out his own cigarrette, lights it and then tells me that his shit is way better than mine. He offers me his cigarette, I accept it and inhale. As I'm smoking his cigarette, I'm amazed at how gentle it feels on my throat and how nice it tastes in general. I was really fucking surprised at how good it felt to smoke that cigarette and then suddenly I could hear the ringing of incoming artillery shells, I looked up and a second later everything exploded and I woke up from my dream. Maybe I shouldn't join the army next year.

    Dreams

    last night i had a dream that i was 10-14 and in a camp or orphanage with a bunch of other kids. there was this really deep well on the property and spelunking into it under supervision was a pastime. i slid down the rope along with about 4 other children and soon enough, reached the bottom. there was no actual water down there as it was just a preserved historical structure. we weren't down there for very long before something woke up and growled at us. everyone got back on the rope and was pulled up by a group of adults. when i told them what happened, the chaperones immediately sealed off the well with a giant metal plate and told us to run. nobody second guessed the order and after a while we found ourselves downtown in a city that i didn't recognize. i entered a library/bookstore and the others soon followed, terrified. whatever was behind us had began to catch up. it's hard for me to put what happened next into detail, but somewhere along the way i managed to loop back into the bottom of the well, climb up and slam the cover on the thing's neck, which decapitated it. the head beared strong resemblance to a cow. it started to flop around before melting and seeping through the metal covering, which in turn shook violently. after that i woke up. my brain's narrative implied the body was still alive and regenerating. ___ the night before i dreamed i went to a hospital for a broken foot. the waiting room had an incredibly high ceiling and was painted this overbearing barf-yellow color. after about 15 minutes i was taken back by a nurse and went around in a cube-shaped maze that eventually led to a doctors office. along the way i saw hundreds of severely disfigured people, spread throughout various decontamination/sweat chambers. all of them had tons of excess skin/fat/tumors that kinda made them look like the abomination from warcraft 3. i waited another 30-40 minutes for the doctor but he never showed up and i was scared shitless so i tried to run, but on account of my broken foot and the entire place being nearly impossible to navigate without a guide it took me a while. nothing really bad happened to me though. i think the story was that the disfigured people went to receive free corrective surgery for their flaws but on the condition that the hospital could save whatever they lopped off and sell it. i ended up describing the place a "flesh mall" when i got home and told my family about it. then a lion pride started living amongst the treetops in our backyard and we had to call pest control to remove them.

    Dreams

    I had the most fucked up dream ever. I went to my programing class and the class was twice the size of the building. Then I went to a computer and someone from the previous class had left some text open, so I save and close it. On the desktop I notice SEVERAL pics and a few flash files. I decide to open a flash file called 'Sugar' and recoil from shock upon finding out its a gay flash game with Ash and Brock from pokemon. "What the fuck", I said as I deleted the flash and the other ones to be sure. Then I turn around to warn my teacher and notice she put a half finished hentai image on the projector (looked like 2 anime girls taking the thigh high socks from a third with their teeth) and I'm like "wooooooot". Then my teacher said "we have to do something like this". I get back to my PC and notice that all those pics are actually porn. And not the good kind. I start to delete a billion of porn pics, but they just keep coming. I turn around to ask my teacher "what the fuck is going on here" and I find her undressing and she either had a small penis or a big clit. My brain probably started to glitch at this point, because I woke up out of sheer confusion.
