RG Veda had some really good music in its OST, although I don't think it played much of it during the actual OVA. I'd have to rewatch.
This is composed by Nick Wood who started a music studio in Japan in the late-80s, early-90s and I think worked with the wife of one of the Duran Duran members writing a bunch of music. I also noticed he did the soundtrack for the PC Engine shmup Gate Of Thunder.

@[email protected], After a week of using that anti-dust spray I did a round two this weekend and there was barely any dust. I think most of the dust that was there was due to me not swapping cloths enough during my first clean last week. So I think I can confirm that it works pretty well. Only thing I would change would be adding like at least 1-2 teaspoons of some kinda' scent/oil to override the white vinegar smell that it'll have for a couple hours.
My room's nicely dust-free for a week+ when I'd sometimes dust on like a Friday afternoon and notice things gettin' dusty again on Monday.
Come to think of it I've never lost a fight in my dreams, I either just keep getting more brutal or unleash absolute whimsy to win. I feel these are my 2 settings
Yeah same for some reason I'm totally unphased by monsters in dreams. Like not long ago I had a dream that a shadow man started oozing out from under my bed and I just stomped the fuck out of him and woke up lmao
IDK how one even fights in a dream. Trying to throw a punch feels like you're in a thick viscous fluid
Someone working at the grocery store i go to has been increasingly clearly trying to flirt with me (made a point to show me pics on their phone of new pants they bought from hot topic, asked if i ever shopped there acted super impressed when I said all of my clothes are from donation bins and asked what anime I liked when I mistook a band logo for the bleach logo and said 'oh theyre anime pants?' As a best guess, I know very little anime and just recognized the logo but had already been asked what ani.e I liked and mentioned I'd gotten into to gundam recently and they said they'd check it out and recommended Eva. I tried to get an age mention by saying I'd seen it priestly way too young when vhs fandubs were a thing cause im pretty sure they're too young and think im like a decade younger than I am, maybe they aren't and id dste anyone who is that interested in me from the start. It's just like...now as a customer should I be like "noticed you've been hitting on me are you at least like...25 or so cause I'm in my early 30s." Or them being at work and aski g me out and me replying with that.
I sense a shift in Bluesky in just the last few hours. I said I Newsom shouldn't have rolled over and he needed to do something. A lib actually had the gall to tell me "What do you want Newsom to do?" I hate that argument at Reddit because talking more is most likely pointless. At Bluesky the character limit is so low that the "what do you want" gibe is the lib working hard to nuke the convo from orbit.
It was pointless but I said I wasn't a lawyer but of course Newsom could sue, delay, etc. No replies yet. And I assume I won't get any.

Edit
I was wrong. The lib made a couple thoughtful replies and said he wasn't a lawyer either. But he's trying to get me to wade into this shit.
It's not the california guard, it's the national guard of california. it is under the control of the state adjutant general...
I have no idea what the "state adjutant general" is. And I'll be fucked if I'm going to learn. Oh, well. That convo is over.
Dreamt I was discussing the intricacies of the yakuza games with someone and having a spirited discussion. Wish I could do that but no one I know plays it like I do so I can't discuss what I wanna

3 tried to do criticism of the military industrial complex only to fall short on rouge CIA agent while 6 does it forcing most of japan trying and failing to put kiryu down end game. Just something interesting though because it was kiryu's "last" game I feel like it gets lost from the personal narrative. I do find the switch from 6 to 7 and the dissolving of the tojo to be good. Having these games finally have a departure and continuation of the old stories is nice.
I always contend the last game should be able to stand alone as an ending in case the IP is never brought up again. Yakuza 1 ended with so many people dead and kiryu happily adopting haruka to live together then 2 happens and then he's with the cop lady happy ever after then 3 happens and so on. I liked 0 but it being a forgone conclusion kind of messed up my enjoyment. The kiwami remasters are nice and I have come around to being open to 3-5 getting that treatment too
If you see someone identical to you, please run away
I remember back when playing DnD 2.0, the DM mentioned how Drow language was like 20% sign language due to being sneaky and having to navigate the Underdark and all its terrors. Was a fun detail and not sure how well that survived into later editions.
drow sign language was separated into its own thing from spoken drow at some point but i've never heard of a DM making use of it
I know part of the media for the drakengard series is playing the game to get the message across but fuck me does playing drakengard 1 kinda suck. I powered through the first part because kept hearing how great the series is but ran out of juice after a while with how the gameplays. Might just watch a play through and jump to 3 though I hate doing this with games.
The deployment of the California National Guard might end up being a first step if federal agents are attacked again in Los Angeles, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said tonight, adding that he might deploy U.S. Marines from Camp Pendleton in San Diego County to support federal law enforcement.
"They are on high alert," he said.
The idiots designed it so I can't link to a specific update. All I can do is link to the live updates page itself.

sometimes you wake up in the middle of the night and just feel like time has stopped, like your consciousness snapped wide open for a bit forcing you to reflect on the fucked dream you had. my dream involved fighting some people making amends and seeing one of them being me the other my sibling. Guess it was just seeing the humanity in people kind of vision idk just feeling really odd rn
My cat doing
Spilled like 400mL of smoothie on myself today. I haven't had a big food spill like that in years.
Yesterday at my computer - I spilled a significant amount of water from a pint glass. Some of it got into the recessed top of my PC tower where some jacks are. I tried to mop it up as fast as I could be I was a bit too late. The easy access headphone jack got water logged and the poor thing died. I use my headphones for my PC all the time. The good news is I can simply use a jack at the back. And I'm lucky it wasn't something like a smoothie. I can get ants and sugar inside my PC could become a problem.
That sucks. Glad you have a work-around for now. I have a, like, a glass couch side-table that sits over my desktop tower that's propped up on the floor beside my computer, which should mostly protect against that. Also have two Ghibli handtowels I got off AliExpress hanging nearby 'cause I'm so paranoid about spills near my electronics. I got superglue on my computer monitor once though. I have so little room (and too much stuff) so I use my computer desk as a work surface way more often than I should. Should probably stop eating on it too. Hard habits to break.
rewatching s1 of true detective again. holy christ it's so good
It really is
🙏🙏🙏
So my pc broke, idk if it's 100% dead or not but I guess I fucked it up. It was a 8 year old pc, but it still sucks to lose it.
What happened, exactly?
I decided to torture myself by going on Reddit and reading posts from Latin Americans about how bad Cuba is and justifying the embargo that’s put it in the position it’s currently in while simultaneously saying Communism did it.
I was listening to a podcast and it mentioned how a Canadian boy/man went there for vacation in 2015 and got paralyzed in an accident in the water there and he's been there since 2015 at the hospital because it'd be too expensive to bring him back and receive the same level of care or something.
Found it. It was Napu Boychuk an Inuit-Canadian boy who was a ballerina dancer who become quadrapelegic, I think. Edit: he got use of his arms partially and legs would move voluntarily at least, no idea where he is now. Hopefully he continues to progress with his movement and stuff and get the best care.
A number of factors weighed on their minds. The distance would prove challenging, and there was an obvious language barrier, although Boychuk had picked up some Spanish through dance. What mattered most, however, was ensuring Boychuk would receive the best care possible.
The children’s mother died of cancer in 2003, after having spent time in four or five different Toronto hospitals. Nothing was wrong with the doctors or nurses, Tuutalik said. The hospitals were just too big.
“When my mother was there, she was just a number. Not a human being, not a person, not a woman with cancer,” she said.
Cira Garcia hospital in Havana, in contrast, is small and intimate. The staff is made up of highly professional, well-meaning people. Tuutalik describes them as “angelic,” and in an interview with the CBC, Dan Boychuk said the level of care in Cuba is “second to none in the world.”
“He would never get his kind of care in Toronto,” he and Tuutalik wrote in Facebook post on Jan. 3.
Dan explained further in an email: “The Cuban health care system leads in medical care generally and there are many who come from Canada and other countries to have surgery, not only for spinal problems but a vast array of medical conditions.”
-bourgeois Canadian newspaper that's trying really hard to thread the needle between "socialized healthcare bad, but Canada better than Cuba"
"stop hitting yourself"
I d/l'd and opened the pdf for Trans Liberation, and adobe acrobat gave me this message at the top
"Don't bother yourself with reading a book, just let the racism machine spit out vaguely related words at you"
contrapoints is posting through people reminding her of that time she did a show with a war criminal.
what the fuck was wrong with the writers of The Walking Dead that made them constantly introduce and then kill off likeable characters but then like the absolutely insufferable characters stick around FOREVER
I'm so sick of Gabriel and I want him to just fucking die already but woops, nope, he lives until season fucking 11 or some bullshit?? Christ on a cracker, fuck, he literally tried to die twice in this fucking episode ahhhhhh god damn it. Meanwhile it's like one more season until they kill Glenn, a character who is actually likeable
WILL NO ONE RID THIS SHOW OF THIS TURBULENT PRIEST
edit: oh my god they never kill him fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Drakenier series is actually part of the kaiju genre, and is in fact its highest development. Giant androgynous demon mother falls from the sky, kills off humanity with a mass pollution (fallout/microplastic/mako) event, failure of international governance, men become obsolete, and mankind is replaced by (female/genderless) machine intelligence. The reason Yoko Taro wears the Emil mask is to hide the fact that she is actually Nyx Land.
Thank God my friend hit me up to go to the punk rock show or I probably would've chickened out again
Hope my allergies do not destroy me on the bike ride there
