New video for the new year!
What better way to welcome the year of the horse than by seeing a horse demon learn to start fires?
It's part 2 of Zatch/Gash Bell's Faudo arc!

Spent a lot of the day getting caught up on Nikke story. Game never holds back when it comes to suffering.

A downside to using the Duel Masters Fandom wiki, which I do when looking things up while playing the video games, is its loyalty to the short lived English version.
Bolbalzark has several different cards referencing it name, but anytime the wiki needs to name it, they have to use Bombazar.

Such an odd thing about the old Duel Masters localization.
Some card games use "their" and others use "his or her".
Then you have games like this where, if you don't use "he/him" pronouns, some cards will have no effect on you.

Watched Lupin III: The Fuma Conspiracy today. Good film/OVA/whatever the category is.
The animation was as good as I had always heard it was, the replacement cast fill in the roles pretty nicely, and the only gripe I had with the story during the viewing was Goemon's reasoning for leaving Murasaki.

Getting back to Fiveman after a few weeks.
Ken tries to help three kids jump over a vaulting box. One of the kids fails on their first try and all three of them IMMEDIATELY lose all confidence. lmao

Recently rewatched that one episode of Sailor Moon about Minako's backstory for the first time.
Still really confused if Usagi was actually trying to argue for not turning the monster of the week back into a human. Because, that couldn't be the case, right? That's too stupid to be what happened.

Very carefully walking the line between a proper review and "Critical A nitpicks the English dub for most of the video".

Yeah I just lost a few more hours today configuring stuff on this thing. And it keeps happening for games I'm not even playing for more than a minute right now!
On the one hand the Steam Deck is fun. On the other hand, I'm supposed to be doing things.

Head empty. Current art project involves slapping the Char helmet on this misshapen mascot character.

Damn shame about Cygames. I had been considering getting back into Shadowverse recently, but now it looks like I'll just be uninstalling it soon.

Miku notes for today, the dub is really bad when it comes to the names of the opponents.
The Crushers are named after construction vehicles. The bull dozer one is 'Bull', but that's two syllables in Japanese. Does the dub rename her Dozer? Nope, she's Crusher now.
I'm blown away by the creativity.

Still surprising to me that I made the "there are dozens of us" Arrested Development reference when talking about fans of this show, only for views of my review to skyrocket a year later.
11 Months in: Around 40 views.
Now, just over 2 years later: Almost 13,000 views.
