Fighting Them Damn Dungeons Back at the beginning of May, I switched from Linux Mint back to EndeavourOS. Great change, but I forgot to back up my install of ZZZ before I switched. Now, before I redownloaded ZZZ, I had a thought - What if I have DFO another shot? I love the game; it just sucked being spammed with Captcha. Maybe some time away let them fix the issues? So I downlaoded DFO on Steam again and gave it another go.
Superior Sentai Back on the 16th, the latest Super Sentai series began. No.1 Sentai Gozyuger, written Akiko Inoue(yes, that Inoue), follows a group of outcasts as they come together during their own journies to become “Number 1” and protect the world, competing with each other and past Sentai Reds along the way. It’s a premise that definitely could only come from an inoue, I tell ya, and after two episodes, I’m all for it!
Digivolving, I guess So, in the middle of last year, I dropped YGO cold turkey. I know I mentioned before that I dropped it the last time I mentioned it on here, but I did eventually have the urge to scratch the Dinomorphia itch and hopped back in. YGO, as horrible a game as it is, is very good at scratching the part of my brain that likes to problem-solve and optimize, so I sorta “relapsed” and gave it another chance.
Manyuu Hikenchou So, back around 2012, this anime called Manyuu Hikenchou came out. This show was about a Feudal Japan-esque setting with the twist that the size of a woman’s breast quite literally determined her lot in life. Prestige, political power, etc etc was all dependent on the size of her Bazongas. You got tig ole bitties? You living the high life. You’re flat as washing board? They treat you how most White Americans want to treat Black people.
It’s been a while since I last posted, and in that time, some manga I had been reading ended and I also picked up/started back reading some others. I got some thoughts, so it’s time to get back at the keyboard.
My Hero Academia First things first, congratulations to Kōhei Horikoshi on ending My Hero Academia. That series lasted a literal decade(July 2014 to August 2024) and really made a big splash over there in Japan and here in NA.
It’s been a very enjoyable ride, but all good things come to an end. Heir to Steel Armor came to a close today after 12 great episodes. It’s been great to watch Garo in real-time on a week to week basis, and I have a lot of thoughts I wanna get out of my head. Now, since none of my friends like Garo, that means it’s time to bust out the ole keyboard and get to rambling on here.
How This All Started So, back in December, Under Night 2 had an open beta on PSN. It gave me the French Bread itch, and I knew I wasn’t going to have the game on release, so I started playing a lot more of Melty Blood Type Lumina. Now, this gave me the Type-Moon itch, so I finally watched Fate/Stay Night : Heaven’s Feel. It reminded me how much I loved Fate, and it since I wasn’t playing Genshin like that, I downloaded Fate/Grand Order.
This is a tough one, man. It only gets tougher every time, too. Last night, news broke that Akira Toriyama passed away back on March 1st . This is a very tough pill to swallow. It means a lot to me to see people who helped mold me into the person I am today live out their lives and be happy, especially these last couple years where I’ve been able to see various older Hip-Hop heads do simple things that truly make them happy, so losing the guy who is responsible for such a large part of my childhood and, quite honestly, my participation in most of my hobbies is just too much, man.
