Plowing ahead with my "I *will* go back to Japan" plans "Flight departure city: New York, NY" Me: ".....too vague, which airport" "....Newark??" "...That's not NY...come on...." (Thankfully I could change it to JFK)

Fire Emblem-specific Direct stream this morning? Yes, tell me more....

#KaijuuGirlCaramelise has such great reaction faces And I was extra amused by this one in this week's episode for some reason 😆🍒🍍🍌

Oh fun, it occurred to me that if I'd like to go to Japan I should make sure I can bring my meds (because Japan is *VERY STRICT* about certain types of medications) Thankfully mine just requires some annoying paperwork, and isn't one of the ones they completely prohibit

1. True 2. Knowing the context here is even better (I've only recently discovered Strange? And she even did a whole video on how she accidentally became this meme?)

Goddamnit ANYC....you had to wait until the last minute to announce cool guests like Higashimura-sensei and Uemura Yuuto..............😑 I hate that it's such a crap shoot each year that there's no guarantee you'll have good guests that I can't tell if I want to go until it's too late?

There are only two that fit *my* vibe, but quality over quantity, right?: 🔹Cringey 🔹Internet And runner up because it's *not* my vibe, but it *is* amazing: 🔹Stud muffin

Browsing Book Off while waiting to meet a friend for lunch And how does this store have so many #BProject singles? And is it bad I own most of them already? (Though some of that is digital-only)

My parents: "you should really take a vacation, aren't there packages for going by yourself on a tour?" Me: *Several tabs open in browser for exactly that* "funny you should say that....." 😅 Now resisting urge to immediately book trip back to Japan (before doing a little more research)

It's hotter than Satan's butthole down here and the train that just showed up was so packed no one could get on 😭 (Some of the lines are messed up so I went with plan B, which is also bad right now)

Oh look, it's the person who has that weird beef with me, showing their entire ass somewhere inappropriate where I can sit back and go "serves you right" 🤗

Well, I meant to leave more or less "on time" this morning But I watched a very stupid YouTube video right before getting out of bed, and laughed so hard I got a bad muscle cramp in my side 😅 And if I moved faster I *could* have caught the train I just missed... but 🤷 I'll get in eventually?

I think AI might be a scheme by Queen Beryl to drain our energy to power the Negaverse.

1. It doesn't need a remake. Not everything needs to be remade. Just play the game as it exists already (it has modern remastered ports??) 2. Even if it had one, why would it need to be multiple games when the original was a single game?

VGC@videogameschronicle.com · last wk.

A Final Fantasy 6 remake is a difficult prospect because it would need four or five games to do the story justice, Final Fantasy 14 director Naoki Yoshida says. "I understand the feelings of the players, but you’ve got to think about it," he says. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/a-final...

Final boss beat And this time I even got to see the final cutscenes because there wasn't any ocarina inventory shenanigans I'm really curious to compare my final play time and party stats against last time, since the balancing was different (the remaster is WAY LESS GRINDY)

Just got the world's dumbest game over because I was looking for my party members in the little gap before the end of the game, assumed I was healed up after waking up, wandered into the sewer, had 1 HP, and died Now I have to sit through these cut scenes and do this unwinnable boss fight again 😂

I don't even go "here" (Avatar) But beyond the "how stupid do you have to be to use AI for this" is "if you're looking for 'facial hair on Asians' why would you use a canonically non-Asian character as an example??" Wow these idiots are so clueless, they're not even good at ripping things off?

citing chatgpt for a character design and eren yeager is a choice???

Occasionally there's a seiyuu with such a uncommon but distinct voice that I also immediately ID because it just kind of got in my brain ages ago (even if I don't hear them very often) That was me watching #Jaagudar this week and going "...Tsubasa...??" (Yes, Shintani Mayumi)

Totally support this move (and hope they manage to pick up other gems we've wanted physical releases on for years)

Animal, vegetable or mineral? Whatever it might be, we're bringing the mysteries of BANANA FISH to audiences in North America, the UK and France... with an all-new dub too! The series arrives on Netflix this August - read all the details here: https://blog.alltheanime.com/banana-fish-announcement/

Ooooo, fancy new fare gates I have a bunch of bags...if I knew these were on the other end of the station (ultimately walked to) I would have walked to these first instead I think a lot of other cities have ones like this? But I imagine it'll be forever before these are everywhere here?

I could use a TJ's run tomorrow (+ other shopping-related errands), but harder than figuring out my shopping list is where I want to stop for lunch on the way......😅 Do I go for tasty katsu curry? Teriyaki skewers? Chinese crepes? (And if I have a lighter lunch...then do I have room for taiyaki? 🤔)

Treating myself to a lobster roll for dinner, since I finally remembered to check when they'd be around (and good thing I did since they're a little further up the cross street than usual) I have really good fresh corn in my fridge, so I can have that alongside 😁

Looking at Google Maps for the area around where our next conference is and going "I know this area is depressing, but seeing "abandoned building that clearly used to be a Friendly's" next to "abandoned building that clearly used to be a Pizza Hut" just makes it extra sad....😓

Watching this week's #WorldIsDancing and going from "Hey, it's the guy who taught [Oniyasha] what sex is!" to "You're like a beautiful flower, come stay by me" and then me going ".....were these two like........a thing...?" (Sounds like historians are pretty sure they could have been a thing" 😆)

Me, taking a brief break from work: "let me see if the lobster truck will be around soon" Stupid FB: yes, do you want to invite friends? Or how about that one weird college professor you had????? (Who I have never interacted with on that platform) Me: Go home FB, you're drunk.........

Since I finished the rerelease of FFT, I figured why not pick up the other recently-remastered game I got for my birthday this year, #LunarRemastered? Man, Ishida sounds SO YOUNG...I know he's doing a young boy, but his young boys don't sound *that* young anymore...it's adorable?

Finally started #SparksOfTomorrow And DAYMN Ucchi's getting good at playing unsettling creepy dudes.......(*and* pronouncing English??) Parts were a little weirdly cartoony, but I really want to know what the hell the story's got going on so far?

More #Paranormasight2 last night, and I had to grab this because it seemed like a good reaction image for future use

Skate Leading Stars So *incomprehensibly* nonsense (the sport was never explained, they forgot to leave budget for writing, music, or animation, not helped by airing early here for some reason, etc.) But it was a fun hate watch because of just HOW bad it was?

Mike Toole@miketoole.com · 3w ago

What's the worst anime you've ever seen?

Not *only* is it ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING outside, but the air quality is really bad? (Had to go out for appointment 😭)
