Yes, actually! I love Knifepoint Horror, but I can’t ever read any of the books because the tell-tale signs of readability weren’t there and it breaks my brain. I can read all caps fine though.

Yes, this too! Which I do, do. I miss new music, but I don’t miss the bullshit.

I love monospace, I hate lower-case. Which is a shame, because it looks terribly interesting.

When you are lazy, and your tastes are niche - you just stop listening to music.

Oh your typing is driving me mad. I can’t do it, my man. I just can’t.

My blackout curtains have white on the other side I am not sure much about the science behind them but they make it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. They’re quite dark on the inside. I got what I paid for. I don’t think all curtains are made equally.

It’s just as brainless.

This might sound funny, but I swear the four walls help. When I lived right off the water a dehumidifier helped with the high-humidity. Black-out curtains help keep the sun out, but they also keep the sun out if you catch me. Outside of that, I’ve heard ventilation. Don’t forget to drink water, keep your electrolytes solid and take care of yourself.

It is clean, organized, and essentialist. Many moons ago it was a beautiful den, after that an art gallery. Right now, it’s just whatever is easiest to decode, clean and enjoy.

Thank you, that was brave and kind.

No, not really. While I am not white, I am American through and through. I don’t really prefer to be something else. I just think we should fix what we can. Preferably while we can.

David Lynch’s Straight Story

I have nothing to add in the mechanical department, as those keyboards drive me insane personally.

I just wanted to add some comments on finding a solid keyboard you love.

• Make sure the texture(s) are right for you. Space-age material is cool, but when you hate the feel of your fancy new keyboard, it’s not a fun type.
• Check the travel, everyone has different expectations and needs for the travel of their keyboard. The setup, and in turn the travel will honestly change your accuracy and speed when it comes to typing. You can adjust of course, but picking up a board you enjoy to type on is always better. For this, I had a sit and truly wondered what I like to press and how I like to type. I stuck a piece of paper and just pounded out on it. I saw how I held my hands, as well as where I liked to hang them and where I was hitting keys from.
• Create a list of contenders. Analyze if you feel comfortable with their price-to-value, features, form (see above).
• Do your research. I’ll watch videos and turn their sound off and try to watch people using the tech they’re pawning off. Asking folks helps weed out the noise machine, but I have also been burnt by trusting others over my gut. So I say a healthy mix of everything leads to a happy purchase.
• Try to purchase from a place you can return to, just in case all else fails.

I often think of purchases as something I am doing to help myself for an extended period of time. So that might also play into your purchase, and I would look to see what sort of support one could get in that department. Good luck, I hope you find your “dream-board!”

The funniest part is DIVI-DEAD was the one that was calling to me the most. Probably because the way you praised it. I figured I would give it a watch to see what’s going on with it, and go from there (gotta track these guys down you know?) I think vis-novels are probably the easier of the bunch to get going. Holy jam, Kamidori is set @119 hour playtime? Jesus Christ, that’s not a VN, that’s War & Peace.

Pumpkin Eater I played once, and have thought of as the grossest VisNovel I have ever read. It’s kind of like sad family splatter-punk. It is kinetic however, it’s kind of like paying for a show or something. Doesn’t bug me, but I do know people are like “Where’s the game!?” Speaking of good games (I see you there!) I love those two very much! They capture the frantic joy of flash games to me. Which I think Jars does as well, as long as you’re not against grinding in a puzzle game. It’s just so cute, a little “spoopy” and has such a fun OST. Right now, I am currently playing Look Outside, which is a RPG Maker game with a lot of love put into it. My most recent play however was Sanitarium which champed it’s way through the whole thing on my laptop. I played it with headphones and heard stuff I had never heard before. Was a great game, is a great game. It’s Adventure based however, in fact none of these are VisNovs, just spoopy games. They’re what’s been on my radar as of late.

I was wondering this very thing. As some fossils were preserved whole, as others were not. I believe though, the whole ones, or even the ones that captured large contiguous chunks of tail could disprove this. Not sure, just was having a guess.

*Not due to soft tissue being found but more so signs of trapped decay of some sort.

I did some hoping, and some seriously long looks at the list. Thank you for these! I was gunna toss you some back if you don’t mind. I realized none of them are JP, but they are all vis-novels.

Mediterranea Inferno Giallo, Homo, Death Game Pumpkin Eater Kinetic, Vomit Fest, Trauma Grotesque Beauty Ito, Dream Realm, Monster We Know the Devil Counter-Culture, Queer, Great OST

Idk if you would like any of these, but they’ve all been nice games to “play.” Some are less interactive than others.

Oh my god, you guys are killing me.

I don’t think it was social media. To be honest with you, this is the worst thing I have ever said. Seriously! I swear to god, it was once the “normies” got on the internet. I think “normies” are socialized to be cruel, and they took that cruelty to the internet. I loved it when it was for the freaks and the geeks. It was the best of the best!

It took my favorite activity (reading) and turned it into a social one. An educational one too! It was amazing. There’s still bits out here. I mean look at us. But there’s a lot of trash on these sites too. Just filter, enjoy your echo chamber, and be open to people entering it with opposite opinions. In fact, be open to opinions all over the place, even in person. Just saying, I use this as reprieve. I don’t need to work myself up, I want to chill and cool down with it.

Oh, that’s really cute! I never thought about it, but it’d be a really fun game to play in Japanese. I have met my fair share of games East/West that load up on Proton and then close. I tend to return them, unless I know someone in my family wants to play them as well. I am the only one on Linux, tbh.

*No worries! I play pretty much exclusively pixel/text based games. I am not hurting. I can also emulate consoles, so I figure I am winning. I love desktops though. They’re just hard to move, and I like to travel light nowadays.

Idk, because there are games that were Western ports without any Japanese in them. But also I don’t really care, because what I want to play are now probably all considered “retro” games and I just emulate them instead. That works fine.
