I'm pretty sure I just stumbled across a wiki for a show that doesn't exist:

We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine, and the machine is bleeding to death.

And now, upon retrospect, I ask why

Error codes I have seen by simply repeatedly refreshing the main steam store page:

105
108

No error code but nothing loads but a black page

Sometimes when I see someone on another site post with a Ran or Erwin avatar I momentarily think I posted something and forgot.

Is it normal for there to be a guy handing out full crates of cookies for free when you leave the grocery store?
And hypothetically speaking if I were to accept such a crate of free cookies, should I be worried about getting poisoned?

In isolation DeepL will translate メスガキ as "female brat."
But in the context of longer phrases I've seen it translate it to "little bitch," "meth head," "meshuggah" and in one particularly bizarre instance "anonymous scholarship system for orphans whose parents have been killed in traffic accidents."
Have yet to see it use Pixiv's gloss of "sassy loli" though.

While investigating this topic I discovered that the "gaki" is apparently written as 餓鬼, i.e. starving demon. This in turn relates to the "hungry ghosts" or pretas in the six realms of the Buddhist cosmology, which are reincarnations of those with too much gluttonous karma. It's kind of bizarre that that's the default term for "brat" though I guess historically it developed to specifically refer to a spoiled brat, i.e. one who is so gluttonous as to become a preta in the next life.

Looking at the profiles from birthday announcements just tells me that this site was already dead in 2013.

There's a lot more to my personality than weeb shit, vtubers and bitching about new technology but for some reason those are the only things that ever seem relevant to post here.

TL Note: Schneizel just made an illegal move in chess, so it doesn't make sense that he could say checkmate, he might possibly say check but the use of the term here is wrong. The only way this could be a legal move is if this were blitz chess, also known as "Fast Chess". However, in this scene, it is never declared they are playing "Fast Chess", and neither of the players are using clocks to time their turns in the game. (Source: /a/) TL Note 2: The reason why Schneizel did this is because the game was going to turn into a threefold rep. By pulling this illegal move, he is able to gain insight into Zero's personality, and "un-mask" part of him, thus fulfilling his victory condition in a subtle and Schneizel-ish manner. To look at the picture more properly, think of the chess board not as a game but as a battlefield. Zero's other options were to take his King, which would have made him similar to his father, or to call Schneizel out on making an illegal move, which would have made Zero look dumb since "lol rules of war". What Zero chose to do was keep his pride and run away from a free victory. Furthermore, by placing his King behind a pawn instead of any other open tile, Zero symbolically shows cowardice. TL Note 3: Alternatively read like this: [aers | laptop] Well personally I think the symbolism in Schneizel moving his king is that he wants to be buddy-buddy with Zero. And that Zero moving behind the pawn is because he is afraid of Schneizel's advances. (Geass is about yaoi and shit, so the likelihood of aers being correct is somewhere over 9000.) TL Note 4: This scene is interesting because it raises the question of whether or not Schneizel "plays dirty" in bed with Canon. :3

My favorite thing online is when you get into a prolonged discussion and the other person includes in every post some variant of "this isn't worth my time and I'm not participating in this discussion any more" but they keep coming back because they can't bear not have the last word.

In the future Agarest will be studied by philosophers as the platonic form of kusoge.

I really want to find that 9/11 thread, but the sad truth is that it was probably deleted and thus could not be archived.

Must have been an inside job.

Finally figured out why the current Shadowverse meta pisses me off:
-Efficient damage spells: cap out at 4 damage.
-Current broken creatures: Have defenses starting at 5.
-
Basically, except this is in the equivalent of vintage.
They've just never printed an efficient removal spell that does more than 4 damage (except for Wind Blast I guess, but that needs to be boosted to do that meaning it isn't reliable early game).
The problem is that they've been printing more and more tough to deal with followers that have 5 defense on evolve (and often some way to interfere with follower to follower combat).
The game really needs a 5 cost spell that deals 6 damage to all followers.

I just now realized that "Joanna Dark" is a play on "Jeanne D'Arc".
Only just over 20 years after Perfect Dark was released.

1.) It's so dead on the nose when you see it it really couldn't be an accident.
2.) After digging I found this interview where it is confirmed that it was intentional.

Just accidentally deleted a book I've been writing for three months.
Never been more glad in my life that I've backed something up.
