loot does not drop upon defeating me. the developers didn't expect anyone to attack me, i am so vulnerable, and only trying to help. why did you raise your sword? for material gain? i would give you anything i have if you had only asked. i did not ask to be in this game, i did not ask to have 6hp.

Sometimes I read about the insane problems ultra wealthy people manage to make for themselves and I think about how if I was ultra wealthy all I'd do is pet cats, eat breakfast burritos and read manga.

This season's JJK OP song feels pretty generic, but the ED song more than makes up for it. Actually just a great jam.

Sentenced to be a Hero is really good, and probably as close as we'll ever get to a Black Company anime. If you're a Glen Cook, or even a Joe Abercrombie fan you should definitely check it out.

One of my cats finished bothering me and walked out of the room at the same moment as the other one walked in. They're working shifts. I swear I saw them nod when they passed each other
