trying my best to make the worst posts i can

getting to a scene in shironagasu island where, knowing the reason valve was recently giving the dev a hard time over the steam release approval process of the sequel, all you can do is shake your head valve is such a deeply unserious company, lmao

📷 𝑓/1.9 🐇 1/327 📏 6.81mm ☀️ clear 📍 Akasaka, Tokyo ✏️ i went outside again. walked around in the heat as i stubbornly sought out this spot. i got a little nostalgic for photography on real film. my memory skims over the inconveniences. funny how it tends to do that.

Photo of a river running through a garden during summer. Beyond are trees, providing a backdrop that covers the city behind, but not entirely. It looks very warm because it indeed was a hot day.

not content with having a single summer vacation in august 1975 like a normal child, boku uses some sort of time magic to boldly embark on his 3rd go around, this time in hokkaido

tragic: local social media user decides to finally experience some umamusume non-vicariously, distraught upon loading up first season of anime to see character most interested in not present in op or ed

much about the internet sucks, however, it does give you the opportunity to go looking for the manual to a ps1 game and wind up on a fansite that has been lovingly maintained since 2003 and has an update on the front page with a date in the last few months and i think that's beautiful

I really appreciate the creative take that "Waku Waku☆Wakusei Princess" has on its McDonald's-like restaurant, "Gull Burger", whose logo uses a seagull for its arched M! (Ignore the jolly dancing burger)

yes, ushiromiya kinzou is performing some sort of dark magic ritual on his children, and that sounds bad, but have you stopped to consider that all of his kids have bad vibes?
