Koei Tecmo knocked it out of the park for me this year. Game of the year, Venus Vacation Prism. Follow up, Ninja Gaiden 4.
They aren't really masterpieces but I've loved playing both.

Any chance Discotek will press more Twelve Kingdoms?
My disc 1 doesn't work and not happy seeing scalper eBay prices. Happy to buy again but not at $160+
It's still listed as in print on the website.
Thanks either way.

L-GAIM box set arrived from Japan!
Not happy about the price but awesome to have this.
Now the annoyance of ripping, splitting eps, and putting it on my Plex server.
13 discs of video and 3 OST CDs.
Probably @discotekmedia.bsky.social will announce they picked up the license tomorrow. lol

Not sure you can work at a gaming magazine and not know what Luna is. Even if no one uses it.
Then to call Valve "David" is lol.
There is a reason I'm buying all my games on GOG now. At least the ones that get released on the platform.

Amazon thought it could compete with Steam because it was so much larger than Valve, but Prime Gaming's former VP admits that 'gamers already had the solution to their problems'
"Just because you are big enough to build something doesn’t mean people will use it."

My score for today.
Going to rip Crash and Belladonna to my Plex server, full quality. Skipping doing BGC again since I have the KS CE already ripped, unless someone tells me this one is a much better encode. @worldofcrap.bsky.social and @dubudavid.bsky.social

This guy turned 15 today.
Hoping for at least 15 more, though we all know how that normally works out.
He slept most of the day like he does most days. Still tried to get him some fun when he was awake.

Been using my MiSTer FPGA and MiSTer Pi (thanks @takiudon.bsky.social ) a lot this holiday downtime.
Into a RT4K w/ DV=1 makes for a sublime retro gaming experience.
Hopefully I can keep my interest going on through next year... I get distracted easily from gaming, sadly.

This needs an Anime. Stat.
Staying up to date via Manga Up and Bookwalker for the Japanese version and it looks like the Manga may be closer to ending than I want to acknowledge.
Perfect time for 24 episodes...

They want to come for your social security because you being able to escape the daily grind, the grind you do to build THEIR wealth, is unacceptable to them.
Thank you for being so gullible. Hoping my retirement savings can make up for the inevitability of not having Social Security access.

Just when I thought MQA was going away, here they are selling more 🐂💩 aka Snake Oil, to unsuspecting victims.
"The audible improvement, while subtle..." is actually just us telling you it is better without providing measurability in the chain. The audiophile equivalent of "trust me bro!"

Galaxy Express 999 TV. I know many love the movie versions, but for me the better version is the TV series. It closely follows the Manga from Matsumoto-sensei and for me, is overall more complete and cohesive.
Top 5 Anime of all time for me.

To fill my feed with things I enjoy, for every like, 1 Anime I enjoy.
First up, one of my top 5 favorites, Kill la Kill.
From the op to the end, the animation quality is top tier for TV Anime. Hand painted backgrounds and classic animation techniques make for an enjoyable, unforgetable ride.

Posting about music I enjoy, Butthole Surfers' Independent Worm Saloon is in my top 5 albums of all time.
It has this hectic, eclectic, insanity filled burn to it that I still can rock out to today.
Edgar is simply amazing every time I hear it. Every time.

After taking the JLPT N3 this past weekend, I took a couple days of break time from hardcore learning Japanese. Did some flashcards, read a little, but have decompressed.
I think I am ready to jump back in. Satori Reader & Kanshudo, here I come! Pimsleur... I promise to come back on Monday. ;)

How is Musk addressing the BSky exodus?
Unleashing more bot accounts to randomly follow people, of course.
Barely used X. Gotten 4 new followers on a week. All of them thirst trap women (on the profile pic) that are plastic surgery filed.
Block. Going back to hiding in the BSky, thanks.

JLPT N3 today.
More ready this time than I was 2 years ago when I tried, but not REALLY ready for N3. N4 I passed by a hair last year & my confidence level tells me this won't end well.
But the heck with it. Onward & upward & I'll continue the journey. Even if it feels slow & painful today.

It has funny scenes but doesn't feel quite as funny as I remember from well, my childhood.

It was still hilarious and well worth watching again.
In some ways, amazing how far we've come... but at the same time, amazing how backwards we still are.
