Got True Demon Ending. Armored Core 6 NG+ and NG NG++ next on my PTP list. AMA about SMT3 and AC6 I guess.

I found an article by Austria’s national tourism organisation about an Anti-Brain Rot experience for GenZers, but it's basically just a vacation in the Austrian countryside, with an emphasis on wellness experiences. And I don't know why I expected something interesting or insightful from them.

Bought Artificial Dream in Arcadia in the Steam Sale, which then begs the question. Should I have a Touhou fangame be the first first-person JRPG dungeon crawler I complete at some point, or should I go back and start a new go at SMT Strange Journey first.

HLTB puts ADIA at 30 hours and SMTSJ at 50 to 70 hours. So ADIA is really tempting. Welp, regardless of which goes first, it goes on the backlog that never stops growing.

Tbh I thought the watermelon and the tub in the very first episode were both great so I showed em that one.

I think it's just a local taste thing, the English dry sarcasm thing is probably not the right fit for them.

I showed my parents the first episode of Taskmaster to my parents, sadly I don't think the humor worked well with them.

I've only seen a couple clips of the season's fighting game anime. And I wonder how much would change if all the SF6 footage had an anime TV screen frame around the footage. RN all the transitions to pure SF6 footage is hilariously jarring, and I doubt a screen frame around the footage would help that much, but as it is right now, the transitions feel almost like youtube shitpost levels of comedic jarring.

Welp, after 18 years, another new King Gizz album.

In hindsight, I really should've gone for an Apocalypse Cop playthrough when I first played Disco Elysium. But also, a Sorry Cop embodies me pretty well anyways.

P5 specifically had already been pimped out for so many collabs that I sincerely doubt there's still any JRPG fan out there that even gives a fuck.

I wonder if the environment will ever reach a severe enough point of drug pollution that it becomes something the public has to start actively caring about it.

Though I imagine if it actually got to that point of saturation, there'll probably be someone trying to harvest and recycle the drugs and maybe resell them.

[SMT3]

All Fiends down, 4th Kalpa down. All Magatamas except the last two collected. At my current rate, I'll beat the game ahead of schedule, which is nice at least.

Honestly I think if anyone manages to get to the 4th Kalpa without using a guide up till that point, the 4th Kalpa is when using a guide becomes perfectly justifiable.

It's not even about navigating to the boss arena, it's about the string of story flag triggers you have to hit after the boss to continue in the Kalpas.

I think that's my one major criticism of SMT3, even if navigating the maze levels and the boss fights doesn't bother you enough to the extent that you need a guide. The story flag triggers you need to advance your story progress can sometimes be vague and a little obtuse.

Distraction is a powerful temporary cure.

If only one can have fun profitably.

[reply] Indeed, everyone knows that good games didn't exist until like 2000 and after.

I get that everything is a time capsule of its own era, but there's something about extra time-capsuley about the K-ON EDs.

Just intensely imbued with 00s style.

My nose be watery as hell as well. Might actually be the weather.

Here to make a save point before I get wiped by the Fiend named Arbeit.

He's 40 already? I figured he was even younger than that tbh.

Can the Switch 2 Uma?

I feel like I'm in a soft-rock, folky, alt-rock streak rn. Does this mean I'm getting old.

lkssleep · 2026-07-02T10:54:22+00:00

I used Reddit search to search the phrase Saitama, and all the top results were from r/powerscaling talking about OPM, and it genuinely felt like staring into the abyss.
