In which I make myself a treat because I'm a responsible adult.
In the past, as an end-of-year celebration, I've made myself a pudding thing.
As it's the 31st here, I tried making myself some microwave pancakes/hotcakes.
Previously I've tried this in a mug-based form, where the pancake is a sort of muffin/pudding thing. This time I tried a method of pouring the batter onto non-stick paper, then putting paper on top of that, doing another, and so on.
What happened was the weight of each hotcake squished the one underneath.
Still good though.
I can't believe it's going to be 2019. It feels like 2018 both didn't happen, and also happened HARD.
Also where's our goddamn cyberpunk aesthetic and transhumanism already? Or maybe we should deal with the nationalism first, so it's less -punk and more cyber.
Okay I know we all want tails as soon as robot prosthetics are a thing, but isn't there a valid medical purpose they could have? Tails are for balance, after all.
I'm just saying that the research being put into prosthetics could maybe be encouraged to be a little experimental that way, if they think there's observable/functional benefit to it.

a "save the princess" metroidvania but you can switch freely between hero & princess & decide just how much of a role he plays in saving her. how much of a role he plays also has an impact on their relationship & how they perceive one another & themselves.

kf, transphobia, harassment and suicide
There are TWO separate deaths today that can be attributed to KF, and that they are actively celebrating.
Yet some "leftists" have the gall to say that they are really acting with justice when they join with KF in hatred.
Digimon's plot has always been basically We Made AI in the 80s and now Isekai Anime Is Real.
Dub audio pondering
What I then wonder, is why did dubs feel the need to fill their audio with extra lines, or even replace intentional ambience/music choices with repetitive tracks?
There's at least one evolution/card slash sequence in Tamers where the music of the scene continues instead of the usual theme. Usually a mysterious or sombre theme. The dub would just use the usual action theme every time.
Is it that dubbers felt that w̶e̶s̶t̶e̶r̶n̶ American kids wouldn't be engaged? Would US kids *not* have been engaged? Or was it a self-fulfilling design choice, where by presuming kids wouldn't appreciate certain audio design and filling dubs with noise, that is exactly what kids ended up desiring?
Watching fansubbed Digimon Tamers and every so often I find myself thinking "the dub would have filed this silent section with nonsense throwaway lines".
I feel like old dubs maybe didn't have much respect for the sound design of their source material.

I haven't been keeping up with posting page previews and stuff, but I've posted several pages since last posting here, and also a page that's going to lead into video update stuff this upcoming month
Remember when the most DRM you had to worry about was managing dozens of registration keys for all your OS versions and game expansion packs?
... remember when the most egregious money making scheme in the game industry was expansion packs?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Re boost:
I wish the tech industry didn't actively fight against the right to, just, own things.
But I understand the sentiment~.
