Like two years ago I ran into a salamander biologist in the woods who complimented my ability to 'walk quietly in the forest while causing minimal disturbance to the leaf litter.' Still goes to my head.

hi *without intention or ability to start a conversation*

Look, I know it's funny to say the PC-98 eroge had a stellar soundtrack for 'just an eroge'. But that is extremely dismissive of what YU-NO is and how it shaped the landscape of future releases in the era. Like we're talking about a game with time travel that lets you set down checkpoints in time, so you can collect items across multiple timelines and solve a series of mysteries. It's a story so long and complicated, it had been in Kanno's mind and developing for over a decade. It's a story that doesn't even properly work as a show or movie, it has to be a game. This title was extremely influential to how the sci-fi genre evolved in the adventure game medium of this era in japan. Titles like Steins;Gate wouldn't exist in nearly the same fashion, KEY works would be entirely different, other adventure game producing companies started trying to push themselves to match YU-NO's high production values. I'm sorry but you can be funny without being dismissive of something that had a huge cultural impact on a medium of storytelling.

the composer Ryu Umemoto left his well-paying job scoring licensed games at FamilySoft to work in the pc-98 eroge scene because of the creative freedom it allowed him. he and the writer Hiroyuki Kanno worked together on several ambitious games for various small erotic games companies. there's a great obituary that talks about his life, here: click.

Happy National Train Day

They Call her Train Jane, everywhere she travels, she travels by train. That's why they call her train Jane. Even though she is quite plain, you could never find her a bore because she took the train. Today she took the Train to Maine

For one hour on the train she did remain, and on that train she met dear Raine. Yes Jane met Raine upon the train, the train that went to Maine.

And then Train Jane and Raine had sloppy Lesbian Sex

2013 was five years ago let that sink in

Apperture science is a forward thinking company, thats why i'm getting the science boys to build a massive freeze ray in space. Cool us down a few degrees. Oh they kept saying "that won't work" and "it will arguably be more destructive than global warming." garbage. We need to cool the planet and this will do just that.

The conpany that brought you: let's put a portal on the moon and suck out the carbon dioxide

sometimes when I get mad online I have remind myself that the coolest and most reasonable friend I have doesn’t know who dril is and asked me to explain what the acronym “MCU” stands for, because she spends most of her free time watching documentaries about industrial disasters with her girlfriend and going to quarries to collect rocks together. a better world is possible and it’s out there right now
