    ITT: We make an anime

    I actually saw a manga series about philosophers when I was in Korea. Don't remember the name but I remember seeing Socrates, Aristotle, Nietzsche, Kant, Marx, and I think Hegel. I think it had some basic shounen style battle theme or something where they fight based on their beliefs or lack of thereof or whatever the fuck. Regardless, this series would boil down into Diogenes and Antisthenes unsuccessfully trying to bully Plato while Socrates remains largely unaware of this. In the end, Aristotle would always drive Diogenes and Antisthenes away by being a rich ojou-sama and ohoho-ing them away. At the same time, Stirner-senpai would be attempting to recruit members into her Union of Egoists Club where he eventually recruits Bruno Bauer and Nietzsche. Occasionally Bauer would bring her younger sister Edgar Bauer into the club. They would all hang out in the smallest club room and act chuuni as shit because no one likes them very much, especially Feuerbach and Marx.

    Hahahaha you Jian scum, you are a disgrace to the Secreta. While you were polishing your flimsy Japanese armor to protect your frail body from the metastreumonic force, I was serving the great Commander Rimanah and escaping my cycles of guilt in Mars. I am the true Master of Fate while you are nothing more than a bandit.

    Since Quakecon is on, I would like to recommend Quake 1 since pretty much everyone has played Quake 3, but not the original game. It's pretty cheap on Steam and GOG right now, but I would recommend getting the GOG version over Steam purely for DRM-free. It's also recommended to get a modern client like ezQuake and going through the proper modding process to add the really awesome Nine Inch Nails soundtrack back into the game since the game used to play it via CD, but obviously doesn't do that if you don't have a physical CD. It's a completely different experience compared to Quake 3 or DOOM that contains the same basic gameplay loop while having a completely different tone and feel to it. DOOM was the experiment to combine fast paced shooting action with demonic horror. If Quake 3 emphasized the action (most likely due to Quake 2's singleplayer), Quake 1 emphasized gothic horror with eldritch beasts.

    I didn't sleep through the night and instead spent a majority of the time rewatching, reading about, and thinking about Serial Experiments Lain. But this post won't be about that anime, but will instead be about the obscure English indie alt rock band that did the opening theme for it. They originally released their first studio album The Race of a Thousand Camels exclusively in Japan I believe. Their album Twilight was an international release with some bonus songs. They also have another studio album called Get There, but I haven't listened to much of it and don't have much of an opinion on it. There's a certain distinction you make between a good album and an amazing album. Perhaps it's not very apparent if you've never really listened to music actively before. You don't really understand music if you're just listening to it passively while doing other things. It would be like movie while talking to someone. Similarly, you don't get the same experience while listening to music whilst doing something else. This album is one of the few albums that legitimately did redefine how I viewed and treated music. The only other albums that have gotten that kind of reaction are Nine Inch Nails's The Downward Spiral, Sleep's Dopesmoker, and to a much lesser extent Vektroid's ClearSkies™ and Against Me!'s Reinventing Axl Rose. This album is like a drug in the sense that afterwards you'll never be able to have the initial reaction ever again. From that point on you're just going to be constantly chasing dragons whilst normalizing what makes it so great. It's not just an album, but a spiritual journey. I don't know what I would give to be able to hear that intro riff in Fool, the breakdown in Twilight, or chorus in Rain for the first time.

    Prior to launch the only things I've ever seen of it was at PAX, which consistently was big budget and lots of screens. Never interested me, but apparently they decided to do basically no marketing besides that.

    noise because all the images are generated with neural nets based on images pulled from getchu. there's a technical write up that was published at comiket and its also published on the site. it's really not that technical either.
