A full run through the Yes studio discography: Part 2 (Yes, 1969)
I have to admit that I regretted starting this project right after making the intro post. I think I outlined the reason for my hesitation years ago in…

I have to admit that I regretted starting this project right after making the intro post. I think I outlined the reason for my hesitation years ago in…
A review of Anomalous Coffee Machine
Fucking hell, I really didn’t know what I was getting into with this game. It came out of nowhere when I was crawling through Steam and I thought…
A run through the Yes studio discography: Part 1 (Intro)
Or, proof that I’ve finally, actually, truly lost my mind. My look at King Crimson’s discography, which I haven’t even finished yet, has taken over two years, mainly…
Another Next Fest, part 1
For once I bothered to actually play a few demos during the newest Next Fest. It’s nice to return to this post format sometimes, though the demo lineup…
A review of Aotenjo: Infinite Hands
I’ll take one day off from my state of constant doom for more games like Balatro. I picked that fucking game up again and increased my high score…
Thinking about The Sopranos
I guess I need to keep pretending everything isn’t unraveling around us. Might be why I’ve been getting nostalgic lately, returning to movies like Robin Hood and music like…
A full run through the King Crimson discography: Part 19 (The Power to Believe, 2003)
As the new year unfolds, I feel more and more like it’s a good idea to tie up loose ends. If you were waiting for this post for…
The only Disney movie I’ll ever write about (or, how my alternate-universe self became a furry)
I know this place has ground to a halt practically. My morale right now is in the basement, so instead of taking a month between posts, I should…
I went to a VTuber concert
Shit, maybe I just need to make a separate VTuber category at this point. Sorry if you don’t care for it, but honestly, if I weren’t writing this…
A look at HoloCure 0.7
Even with the world on fire, there was at least one thing I was looking forward to this month: the release of the 0.7 update to the free…
Untitled
I don’t feel like coming up with a title for this post. First time in 11 years I haven’t. But then, is Untitled a title in this case?…
OVA review: Gunsmith Cats
Well shit. If you’re reading this after the fact, look at the date. I won’t write anything about that now. I’m sure it will be appropriate to get…
More distractions
Hey, it’s another aimless post. Maybe it’s just another update to pass another fucking month. Things aren’t getting any better with my job, and every day at home…
The irregular update
Politics alert on this post, including talk about the most recent and most controversial events. If that’s not what you’re here for, check out the next post. I…
A review of Cobalt Core
When I first started with Balatro, I didn’t think it would lead me down the path of roguelikes to a game about furry space warriors caught in a time…
The happiest place on Earth (binds you with a contract of adhesion)
Oh no, this wasn’t the post I was expecting to write next. But then the Walt Disney Company decided to openly expose their callousness for the world to…
Historical drama review: Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972)
I’m starting to work on the review of Yuru Camp S3. I should have something to say about it, even if I already wrote about the first two seasons,…
Demo mode: Hookah Haze
Sorry for the stream-of-consciousness posts lately. This site used to feature reviews of games and music and anime if you can believe that. Now it’s just a place…
40 Hz
That’s the title of one of the stories I just finished. Couldn’t think of a better one. It involves sleep, anyway. Everything I’ve written in the last year…
Demo mode: Another Next Fest
In my last post, I mentioned I’d only played one demo for Steam’s latest Next Fest. In the very short time since then, I played two more that…
Currently watching: Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction
It’s been a while since I’ve written about anime, or about anything at all for that matter. I’d stopped watching anything for a few months, but finally I…
Games for broke people: Top-down terror edition
It’s been a while since my last post. Between stress at work, my having to take on extra work to try to get ahead just a little, and…
Audiobook review: Julian by Gore Vidal
What a cover. That’s the copy I bought in paperback in some used bookstore somewhere. It looks very 60s, but it also pretty accurately depicts the types of…
Sky diary #9: Solitude
After a long break, I’m back in No Man’s Sky. Not that I didn’t do some “work”, or more accurately fucking around, in the game in the meantime. In…
Currently watching: Yuru Camp S3 (+ a few unrelated updates)
Didn’t see this coming, did you. The fact is the first and second episodes of the newly airing Yuru Camp third season are the only anime I’ve watched in…
The right of preservation
There’s so much going on in the world now that Nintendo shutting down a pair of emulators doesn’t feel like such a big deal. It certainly was a…
Audiobook review: Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
I’m about to get flooded with work, probably for a month at least, and between that and family obligations, the time I have to myself will be reduced…
A review of Balatro
Another unnecessary post, considering how many people started playing this thing when it came out. This game has gotten big press and 250K+ sales since last week when…
OVA review: Yuru Camp Specials: Survival Camp, Tall-Tale Camp
Isn’t that a mouthful of a title, and especially for another set of Yuru Camp spinoff episodes that total about 18 minutes this time. But they’re also both worth…
Historical drama film review: The Hollow Crown: Richard III
Look up a list of the top five most controversial kings of England and you’ll probably find something among all the crap and detritus of the internet with…
First impressions of Persona 3 Reload
Well here I am. My pointless life continues on and a game returns from 17 years in my past to visit me again in a new form. I…
Behind the curtain
Now here’s a hard post to write. The hardest I’ve had to write on this site, probably, even if there’s harder stuff on my other one I never…
More YouTube stuff to fill your hours
All free to watch, as long as you’re okay with ads (or have Adblock. Reminder that I encourage everyone to use Adblock, because fuck advertising being shoved into…
Currently watching: Pon no Michi
I don’t know much about rap, but I just found Run The Jewels’ Oh My Darling (Don’t Cry) last week and now I’ve had their first couple albums…
Sky diary #8: Poison
Playing No Man’s Sky has fit into my negative mindset lately. Every time I look out from the hole I’m in right now, something happens that drives me…
Historical drama film review: The Hollow Crown: Henry V & VI
Last post I wrote about a fictional British monarch, so I’d better return to the real ones this post. Sort of real, at least — Shakespeare’s history plays…
OVA review: Azur Lane: Queen’s Orders
I’m on an OVA kick right now so here’s one that most readers definitely will not be interested in: an anime adaptation of a spinoff of a manga…
Sky diary #7: Parade of horrors
It’s Saturday night and I’m writing this and listening to a lot of Soft Machine. Somehow I’d never heard this band, but they were right at the genesis…
OVA review: Heya Camp△: Sauna to Gohan to Sanrin Bike
There, I finally added the triangle. Copypasted it from MAL, anyway. And here’s something I probably shouldn’t get away with dedicating one entire post to: a ten-minute Yamaha…
ROOM CAMP, ROOM CAMP: Saunas and Grub and Three-Wheeler Bikes
New year notes
I’m still at the bottom of a dank dark hole right now. Mentally speaking, anyway. I have my physical health, as far as I know, and I should…
Sky diary #6: Station to station
Well wouldn’t you know it, but I lied to you again: the next post is more of this No Man’s Sky stuff. I’ll see how long I can…
Sky diary #5: Honeypot
Happy Christmas to everyone here. I’m not in much of a celebratory mood these days, but I hope you can find some comfort this season. There’s no comfort…
Sky diary #4: Stupid interview questions
No Man’s Sky again, back in the central settlement of Drammen, Norway I founded last post. I managed to get enough wood to expand my somewhat pathetic house…
Sky diary #3: Welcome home
It’s No Man’s Sky time again, oh yeah. I hope you wanted more of it. Finally I can make it to a new system that hopefully won’t suck so…
Historical drama film review: Cromwell
I know I started that Hollow Crown watchthrough a while back that I’m only three films into, but I’ll try to justify covering this one in between, because it’s…
Sky diary #2: Unwelcome visitor
Back in No Man’s Sky, and back to my waste of a planet. Though since last time, I have found enough resources to build this computer somehow that allowed…
A review of Planetarian
Last month was pretty slow here, I know. December will probably be slow too as my work continues to ramp up. But naturally, I’m not going to not…
Sky diary #1: Making a mistake
I may have made a mistake, yeah: I bought No Man’s Sky during a Black Friday sale. I’ve been looking for a space flight/exploration sim that’s not too…
A list of podcasts I like
Yet another low-effort post today, since the end of the year at work is turning out to be extremely hectic, and I don’t expect that to change until…
