That guy

I like nerdy things, with a focus on anime bullshit. Earn my keep by working at the manga factory. 日本語もおk。 Pronouns he/him, I guess.

I should probably not be considering buying a MtG commander precon when I have no friend group to play with, I've always been too shy to figure out how to get a game going at a local shop, and with the rate WotC is pushing out tie-ins, I figure there's even odds they go under in the next 5 years.

"I'm an adult and I have insurance, I should go and see some of the specialist doctors I haven't seen in ten years." I'm an idiot, never be responsible and try to do the right and healthy thing in this farce of a country.

we should go back to anime having 52 episodes a season because what do you mean goodbye lara is almost half over? like all modern anime it needs time for a beach episode, a christmas episode, a polarizing middle arc, an episode for the VAs to stealth-plug their pop group, and 4-6 “Nanami episodes”

Every once in a while the schedule works out so a coworker has to read/work on a bit of Chained Soldier/Mato Seihei no Slave, and without fail, every one of them messages me to say "Hold on, this is kind of great?"

I love how Europop songs are always like "I am literally incapable of not dancing. Dance has kidnapped my children, and if I stop dancing for even a moment, they will be executed. This all began when I had a very sexual affair with the god of dance. Peace and love worldwide!"

Always funny when you crack open a VN and the settings window is the old kind of windows menu and has an option to make the game disguise itself if your mom walks into the room.

Computer options screen with a setting to mute sound and display tray name as notepad when the game is minimized.

I do not think I will ever be able to see the PS3 as being retro. There are PS3 titles that still have large ongoing player bases today. If anything, I worry that we've regressed in game design since that era. Wii, though, that's getting kinda retro.

I regret to inform you that the Kacho will be pontificating this month on a Game Center CX livestream whether or not it is time to expand the scope of retro gaming to include the PlayStation…3. And Nintendo Wii.

2019 Defunctland video: "In 1989, the Walt Disney corporation was feeling the heat from the Six Flags Dick Smasher and wanted a one of their own" (20 mins) 2025 Defunctland video: (single very serious plaintive piano note) "Since the dawn of time... Man... Has always tried to eat a snack" (3 hours)

I’m strongly of the belief that it’s good to have yourself a rival or nemesis to keep you focused, but I counted and I’m up to four: two posting nemeses and two professional. That’s a bit much, so I’m worried I might have to reconcile with one soon.

i found an ancient phone backup the other day and here are some photos i took of the old somethingawful office in lees summit around 2011 or 2012. and a couple never before seen pics of smash mouth eat the eggs . and some discount ed hardy beer that made me VERY sick

Had auto-generated closed captions on when watching an Elden Ring lore video, and noticed it was transcribing "Marika" as "America." I know these transcripts get scanned by AI junk, so all I can think about is how this is going to generate some really silly hallucinations for someone in the future.

The post-credits scene of EBENEZER reveals the "what day is it" boy to be Oliver Twist, launching Phase 1 of the Dickensverse.
