also i listened to Sonic Youth's Sister and Beach Boys' Pet Sounds for the first time, both hit me real hard

yooo happy birthday!!

#100: Saint Seiya: Legend of Crimson Youth:

Saint Seiya movie for those who love the guy that draws the really fucked up stretched out faces in a couple eps of the tv show.

truly picked things back up for me after how bad Asgard arc was, could we really be back...

even if he knew what he was doing, still a lot there that makes me go "geeeeeene" (derogatory) lol. but still really fun to dig into his prose and how he works this world together across all three

#99: The Fifth Head of Cerberus (short story collection): the title story of this collection is so much of what i loved of BotNS concentrated to a fine point. i'm fascinated, meanwhile, by the direction the follow-up short stories take in a way where i can't tell if Gene knew what he was doing lol

#98: Juufuutei Raden's Guide for Pixel Museum: truly a high water mark among Picross games I've played, a strong presentation matched by some real sickos-level puzzles, truly loved spending like an hour on some of those 40x30s and then watching those times whittle down with successive ones

take care if you head out, and hope the time away does you good!

it's suuuuch a funny website to see what happens bc of its massive metadata tag structure, the charts are so good for this

you put it on my radar and i was glad to finally make some time for it 🫡

sooo good to piece together so much of what is happening in that story
