As a birthday gift, please consider reading my latest writing for Tokyo Review.
A decade of LGBT partnership systems in Japan
Ten years ago, two municipalities in Tokyo wrote history by commencing Japan’s first so-called “partnership systems” (パートナーシップ制度) to recognize LGBTQ+ couples’ relationships. In the years that followed...

Richard Donner Superman is such a great example of how they let you do whatever in the 70s. You could just do whatever.

I cleared Sonic 3D Blast, a.k.a Flickies' Island! Graphics and music are nice, and the gameplay is pretty good, despite the slippery controls. 61/100, check it out if you like isometric platformers and/or Sonic.

Just cleared Metroid: Samus Returns for the 3DS! It's a lot of fun, with great abilities and exploration, but the boss battles get a bit tedious. Dual-screen systems with a constant map are perfect for the genre.

See, the trick is that "the GM exists for the players' amusement, whose job is to ruin their plans for fun" and "the GM rules like a king, and the players exist to be their playthings" is that these SEEM like opposite maladaptive approaches to play, but they both result in the GM doing all the work.

Another game cleared for Spooktober! Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Pumpkin King for Game Boy Advance. Definitely not the best game I've played this October, but not a bad game. 45/100, get it cheap if it interests you.

Another one down for The Month of Spookies. Ghostbusters for the Mega Drive is a solid little platformer that you can clear in a couple of hours. 66/100, fun if you like the genre.

Another game cleared for Spooktober: Luigi's Mansion for 3DS! It's not a bad game, but it wasn't for me. Very, very easy, to the point of being kind of boring. This port feels like it's really hampered by the tough controls with the C-stick.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

Cleared my second game of Spooktober: Super Ghouls n' Ghosts/超魔界村. What a game! Very few games give you such pure satisfaction of mastery. You really earn those ending credits.

Played about an hour of Luigi's Mansion for 3DS on the train yesterday. I skipped it when it came out, so this is my first playthrough. Honestly? Kind of boring, kind of clunky. Poke around at a room until you startle a ghost, yell "Marioooo" eight times trying to interact with the scene.

Got a head start on Spooktober and cleared Avenging Spirit for Game Boy. It's a nice little platformer with an original twist: you're a ghost who can possess every enemy (except for bosses). Recommended!

Just cleared Bomberman Hero! It's a nice game. Lots of variety, and has that charming sort of roughness that N64 3D platformers have. One of the most unique soundtracks of any game.

Finally cleared Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. What a slog. I bought it on release day for PC, and just now got around to finishing it. They made the story totally incoherent for anyone who hasn't played OG + Crisis Core, and not much better if you have. Not recommended.

Oh good, an unskippable cutscene right before the last boss phase, which coincidentally can kill you in two hits after 10 minutes of fighting
