Biden is Announced the Next President
*Whew.* I’ll have more to say later (I’ve been quiet lately), but *what a relief*.
Year: 2020
2020 Goals Update
Now 3/4 through the year, so it’s time for another update. The first thing to talk about is that I had an existential scare in June and July. Since September of last year, I started getting tonsil stones. I didn’t even know what they were before last year. Anyway, they were something of a quality …
Cowboy Bebop is a Masterpiece
It took me 18 or so years, but I finally finished watching Cowboy Bebop. I’ve been sour on the idea of slogging through it after the ending was unexpectedly spoiled for me by some friends at an anime convention (their argument was that if I hadn’t finished it by then, then I never would, and …
2020 Goals Update (Midyear)
We’re now halfway through 2020, so it’s time for an update. Holy hell, things have been wild this year. Coronavirus has killed over 100,000 Americans so far (over 380,000 people worldwide) and that fact doesn’t seem to faze anyone. I’ve been working from home for the past three months. My only trips to the world …
Where was Bernie?
I’ve been pretty disconnected from politics since Joe Biden became the last remaining Democratic Presidential nominee, the coronavirus shutdown began, and now the eruptions of nationwide protests over racist cops killing black people, but there is one piece of political news from the recent past unrelated to those events that I thought was important enough …
Tips for Lightning Dodging in Final Fantasy X
I finally earned the PlayStation platinum trophy for Final Fantasy X today. More than completing the Sphere Grid for every character, the challenge I feared the most was “Lightning Dancer” which requires you to dodge at least 200 lightning strikes in a row in the Thunder Plains. I had tried to do this in the …
NieR: Automata has Top-Tier Music
I finished NieR: Automata earlier today. It was a great game, but what stole my heart was the music. Holy crap, it’s so good! The game devs made the unusual choice to produce the background music with heavy use of vocals. I wouldn’t have expected it to work so well, but it does. The words …
FLCL is Overrated
I tried watching FLCL back when it was still new, but I couldn’t get more than an episode or two through it without giving up. I tried multiple times, but I could not be compelled to stick to it. Well, I finally did it. But I can’t say I’m terribly satisfied by the accomplishment. I …
New Game Haul
I decided I’m going to start logging the junk I buy. I think it’s cool, and it gives me more opportunities to update the site, so why not? I got: Sina Mora Ex (Switch) Kill la Kill IF (PlayStation 4) Yakuza Kiwami (PlayStation 4) Yakuza 2 Kiwami (PlayStation 4) Yakuza Remastered Collection (PlayStation 4) As …
Bernie Sanders Ends his 2020 Presidential Campaign
This dreaded day has come sooner than expected: Bernie Sanders has bowed out of the race for the Democratic Presidential nominee to make way for Joe Biden. I can’t say it’s completely unexpected. Despite neither Joe or Bernie being close to the 1,990 delegate threshold to clinch the nomination (1,217 to 914 at this moment, …
