Flipping through the C108 catalog, and as usual Day 1 is a cakewalk and Day 2 is a death march. I'm trying to simplify matters and only buy what I really, really want, but even then the ratio of Day 1 to Day 2 circle hits is still 3:1, lel

For anybody who tried (probably unsuccessfully) to tune into the stream tonight, I apologize for the dogshit experience. I have no idea how to even begin diagnosing what went wrong, but I hope this doesn't repeat itself next week.
Disconnecting from the VPN, restarting OBS, everything short of actually rebooting the damn PC did nothing, it just kept dropping the connection every 5 to 10 minutes. A server restart on the PeerTube VPS might have fixed the issue, I don't know, I wasn't in the mood to try frankly. I just hope this doesn't repeat itself.

"Let's Try: G-String - the VOD!" is now available on Odysee:
https://odysee.com/@PeerTubeVODs:4/gstring_vod:4
Having played through a large chunk of it since the stream, I'd like to add that it's actually refreshing to have a HL2-style/inspired game where the player character is not at the center of everything happening, and just incidentally observes it all in passing while running for her life.
Like, there's a whole rebellion story happening in the background, the separatists nuke the NWO Central Bank mid-level, Space NATO is laser bombarding the outlying regions of the city in retaliation, and the protagonist is just constantly running away from shit happening, it's actually a little refreshing.
It would have been really easy to do the Gordon Freeman thing, "wow who are you stranger? I guess you're the figurehead of our rebellion now, help us storm the evil fortress kthx" and they didn't. So, props to them for that.
On the other hand, jesus christ if you're going to make me crouch-crawl through vents for 75% of the game make crouch speed go faster than snail's fuck please. I have to bunny hop through vents like a retard to go at anything approaching a brisk pace.
6/10, not bad.

One negative point I'll say is the OP/ED music isn't setting my world on fire. OP is okay-ish, ED all I wanted to do was just skip through it. Not that I want a copy of SAC or 2nd GIG or anything, but it's a damn shame Origa isn't with us anymore.

Finally got around to watching The Ghost in the Shell Ep1, and on the whole I'd have to say it's mostly positive. It's very stylish, I like the look and feel of the animation. Compared to previous iterations of GitS (which I mostly all enjoy), this one is very OG manga accurate and I appreciate that it's different in that regard.
Some have accused this of having "ADHD pacing", and I can understand that criticism... everything moves forward at a fairly breakneck pace, with little room to breathe in places. It hasn't been an issue so far, and part of me wonders if this isn't Amazon director's notes to appeal to brain-fried zoomers, but I'm going to wait a few more episodes to see how it goes. Definitely plan to continue it, even if it's mainly because it scratches an itch that I haven't got scratched from any recent anime in quite a while.

Finally cleared Intravenous 2, with the best ending (100% Trust, no civilians killed, all contracts spared). It's a damn good game, even if it's hard as balls in places. I never thought Immersive Sim would port well into a Hotline Miami-style top-down shooter, but it's incredibly fun when you figure out the mechanics.
My favorite tactic remains the "Murder Batman", where you kill the lights at the breaker box (and shoot it to prevent it getting turned back on) then go inside with NVGs and quietly knife everyone to death as they stumble around in the dark, then lay trip mines around the building before leaving to catch any stragglers wandering in.
I hope Intravenous 3 keeps up this level of quality, because 1 and 2 didn't miss.

I decided to check out https://monero.jobs , a freelancer job site for :xmr: users. Although it does appear to be at least partially AI made, it seems fit enough for purpose. There are some weird glitches here and there... when updating my profile, the site would wipe out anything I write in any field after 2 or 3 minutes if I didn't click "update profile" inside that time window. No idea why that happens.
I'd like to actually test its function, maybe even do some freelance work and get paid. Unfortunately, most of the skills I have are probably going to get replaced by AI in the next few years, OH WELL :omg:

JAPAN POLITICAL UPDATE:
Sanae Takaichi and the LDP have retained control of the government by entering into a coalition agreement with the center-right Ishin No Kai (aka "the Japan Innovation Party").
Earlier this month, Komeito (LDP's coalition partner for 26 years) broke away from the ruling party in protest over Takaichi's policy goals, throwing into question whether or not the LDP could survive the PM selection process without their votes. Opposition parties threatened to unite around a candidate and outvote them, unseating the LDP's grip on government.
But unsurprisingly, the Opposition couldn't get their shit together, and Ishin no Kai crossed the aisle to form a new coalition instead. They bring 54 seats together with the LDPs 297, giving them 120 joint seats in the House of Councilors and 231 in the House of Representatives. This is enough to lock up the the PM nomination, so Sanae Takaichi will now be Japan's leader.
In exchange for Ishin's coalition support, the LDP has agreed to back their proposal to reduce the number of seats in both houses of Parliament by 10%. Ostensibly to streamline government and make it more efficient, but this will cripple the voting power of smaller Opposition parties as a result. Some have said this is not a coincidence, and I'm inclined to agree.
You'll see a lot of western media calling Ishin either "far right" or "libertarian", neither of which is very accurate. Their policies are a mix of good (strengthening local/regional government, reducing national government power, deregulating industries, lowering taxes) and bad (UBI, "free" eduction, etc)
In the past, Komeito was seen as the brakes on the LDP. They'd threaten to withhold votes if LDP went too far, and basically kept them in check. I doubt Ishin will fulfill the same role, but they seem to be good at exploiting the LDP's weakness to extract policy concessions so far. We'll see how far the relationship goes.
As for Komeito, they've basically become irrelevant. Without the LDP coalition, they're a Podunk 46-seat Opposition party with no pull to speak of. Quite a long fall... I hope the supposed principled stand was worth it.

So, has anybody else experienced or heard of attempted fraudulent bank charges from a company called "Respontika"? I've heard anecdotally that banks have been dealing with these by the thousands over the past month or two.
From what I could see, Respontika is some online scam offering personality tests/online horoscopes. The normal scam is they charge a dollar for their "service", then attempt to pull anywhere from $15 to $40 after the fact and hope they get away with it.
But the stories I'm now hearing are that people who had nothing to do with Respontika, who never signed up for their shitty online personality test, are also getting hit with the same effects. First a one dollar transaction that slips the net, and then an attempted charge of $40 that recently is getting flagged as fraudulent by default.
Looking into Respontika as a legal entity, they're registered in Delaware (though not as an LLC, so I don't know how anonymous it is). But it seems weird to me that the bank fraud behaviour is extending to completely unrelated people who haven't touched their shitty website.

Following the stream yesterday, I've been playing Silksong more or less non-stop. I found my first alternate Crest, and it's another good way they differentiate from Hollow Knight.
A Crest (loadable/swappable when resting at benches) lets you change up your attack move-set. The base Crest (Hunter) is fast, nimble, and mostly seems to focus on quick strikes and evasion. The Crest I found (Reaper) changes the moveset to be slower and less mobile, but heavier hitting, changing up the way attacks move and the directions you threaten with swings.
On the whole, everything feels more modular, and there's more room to customize a loadout based on Crests and charms attached to them. Adds more of a strategic element which I enjoy. I continue to feel that Silksong isn't just "more Hollow Knight", they've actually improved on the forumla.

2025-10-08 10:42:52 UTC

Well, finally finished Doll's Nest. I can confidently say it was a fun game, and I had a good time playing it. The environmental detail and sound design along were well worth the price of entry, but the gameplay, mobility, and sheer versatility of loadouts and weapon/robot part combinations you could put together were also very strong points.
It does have a problem with communicating information to the player. Sometimes levels are designed without much thought to where the player would be looking or how it would channel them through it. I missed an important boss area because the ramp leading down to it was hidden out of sight past a ledge and there was nothing drawing my attention towards it. This lead to me wandering around multiple areas for several hours trying to find something I'd missed before I stumbled across it.
The absolute wall of stats you need to figure out to get deep into the mechanics might be a bit much for anybody not hopped up on tylenol, but I managed to muddle through with trial-and-error, experimenting with parts and guns until I got a loadout that "felt right" and made me not die repeatedly.
Story was minimal, but this doesn't seem like the type of game to want to get bogged down with it. Much like DOOM or The Citadel, the gameplay and challenge take center stage, and the story is just the framing device that provides the impetus to send you out into its world.
I sure hope Nitroplus makes more like it, if not an outright sequel (or prequel, or whatever). The word of Hod is fascinating and visually gorgeous, and I would love to have an opportunity to see more of it and blow up more stuff in it.

Everything is based around megacorps because it's easier to censor and control. That's not an accident, that's by design. I want to see an underground flourish outside their control. If that means accepting changes, having a lower volume and output of content, then I accept it.
If you think a large scale megacorp funded industry is possible without control and censorship, I'd very much like to hear how. Because I'm not seeing it.

I realize it's not anime, but Space King is a good example of a model that seems to work out. Good quality animation, infrequent as it might be, funded largely by fan support via merchandise. It can be done, but not at the scale we're used to. So I'm just saying, either lower your expectations in the name of being free, or accept that you'll always have either globalist shitlibs or conservatard zealots adding studio notes to things you love.

Or rather, ignoring it and routing around it. Some people will be willing to go underground, some will come around to it eventually. Most won't, but that's just the way people are.
The trick is to make the cost of enforcement as high as possible. As long as enforcing a law is too costly and difficult to do reliably, there's room for people to go underground.

@nprofile…mdcj @nprofile…9rf2 @nprofile…2v62 I think censorship was in the cards no matter what, and personally I'd say looking to government to help with that is a lost cause. I expect censorship from anybody with power, whatever party/faction/side they happen to be with.
Anti-censorship measures work best when they're bottom-up, not top-down. Torrenting has survived a quarter century because of this, and any good solution needs to follow the same blueprint. Swarm them with a thousand nodes of a distributed network and all they can really do is try to cut heads off the hydra faster than they grow back. Some people will get caught under the boot (sadly), but the whole will be able to survive.
There will be a reckoning where people making and distributing otaku media have to decide whether they're going to be cucks to the censors or operate like outlaws. People who choose the former will get winnowed out, and the rest will have to form subcultures of their own. Fedi is already starting to grow into the latter from what I can see.
As for Takaichi, all I really want from her is to be an absolute hardass on immigration, keep the low-quality third-worlders out, and address the needs of Japan for the Japanese first and foremost. The censorship shit we can deal with, and we'd get it either way, so it's better to only have that to deal with and not be doubly burdened with infinity browns and Muslim headchoppers forming enclaves.

Fukui prefecture goes to Takaichi with ~49%
With 20 out of 47 prefectures reporting in, Takaichi currently has 41.4% of the party member votes. After the final tallies are done, each candidate takes their total vote percentage worth of 295 points, then adds that to the number of Diet votes (295 seats). Whoever gets at least 296 wins the leadership race.
If nobody goes past 295 votes, it triggers a second round runoff between the two highest ranking candidates... in this case, Takaichi and Koizumi. This is what happened last time Takaichi went up against Shigeru Ishiba, but Ishiba won in round 2 (despite Takaichi's strong performance back then, too). Everybody in the Takaichi camp is hoping history doesn't repeat itself.

If Takaichi wins a significant enough majority of the rank-and-file member vote, the Aso faction votes could be enough to push her past the post and give her a first round win.

@nprofile…gxtz The LDP leadership race is more or less deciding the replacement Prime Minister of Japan. Kobayashi is being propped up by the pro-globalist types, Takaishi is a more conservative candidate coming from Shinzo Abe's school of politics.
The reality is, any LDP politician is kind of shit, and Takaichi has some godawful takes on how to run the country. But at this stage, "not being an all-out globalist dickrider" is the best outcome for a new Japanese PM.
Also, if Japan's first female Prime Minister turns out to be an anti-progressive conservative, that'll be a barrel of laughs and I can only image the seething and/or malding from the progressives if it happens.

First results are in, Sanae Takaichi won Hokkaido with 40%.
This is only the party member vote, not a final decision (the Diet will vote this afternoon, probably different from the popular vote) but its a good start.

This weekend, it's time for a State sanction grave-robbing expedition! The Blades need the legendary armor of their founder, entombed centuries ago. The only way to retrieve it is for Treshtog to pry it from his cold, dead, crumbling hands, along with anything else of value not nailed down! It's State sanctioned!

@nprofile…unus @nprofile…r70d @nprofile…k4ty @nprofile…88ve The most frustrating thing about that video was Jay fucking Bauman completely dismissing the idea of uploading mirrors on other platforms. "There are no other platforms! Do they want us to upload to Vimeo?"
Yeah, bitch, I do. Or any other site. Fucking Internet Archive if you have to. At least I could watch Best Of The Worst when it gets arbitrarily age restricted that way.

The Dark Mod FM: "The Last Night on Crookshank Lane" Now Released
I'm happy to announce that my second FM, "The Last Night on Crookshank Lane", is now available on the Dark Mod Mission Database:
https://www.thedarkmod.com/missiondetails/?internalName=crookshank
Backup download is also available here:
https://share.anon-kenkai.com/crookshank.pk4
This is a much bigger and more ambitious FM than my first attempt, and it ended up taking a year and a half to complete. It was also a very educational lesson in the importance of proper map optimization. It's a sort of soft-sequel to "The Threepenny Revue", but not part of a series per se, and can be played as a standalone mission.
I took inspiration from FMs like "The Painter's Wife" in TDM, and "The Sound of a Burrick in a Room" from Thief Gold, and although I'd never put myself in the same league as either, I was always impressed by their size, scope, and detail. City exploration FMs have always been my favorite, and those maps and others like them inspired me to take a crack at something similar.

In light of current events, what could be more appropriate that streaming a game about military service and killing people in foreign lands? Join us as we enlist in a crack anti-terror task force and embarrass the forces of Jewish Globohomo on the world stage with bad aim and even worse tactics.

@nprofile…l0gg Just a note, all the local doujin physical sales sites (Japanese) show this as sold out... it might be in very short supply, so scans of it could be hard to find.
It looks like BANGSOM/fevercell (the creator circle) is selling it on Melonbooks in Japan, but their site is busted right now for some reason. It also looks like they're going to summer Comiket this year, and might have back issues. I'd be willing to get and scan a copy, if somebody covers the costs.

@nprofile…xtpx @nprofile…affl Especially in Japan the second hand phone market is well saturated with affordable older phones. That well will run dry eventually, of course. idk if bespoke OEM hardware for Graphene is going to work out financially or not... shit like the Fairphone and Librem are way to expensive for what they offer, I doubt people will go for it. Maybe if it has an absurdly long lifetime..

@nprofile…affl The Android Open Source Project is a publicly developed branch of Android which is used by other developers to create customized Android builds. A lot of non-Google Android phones use modified AOSP code for their own devices (Galaxy phones etc)
AOSP is also used to help develop after-market OSes (like Lineage and Graphene). Recently Google announced that AOSP development is going to be moved inside the company, and as such code will be less visible and less available. Everybody has to wait for a full release before they can adapt changes.
For projects like GrapheneOS this is a problem because now their ability to push updates is bottlenecked by the speed of AOSP releases. Combined with other anti-competitive Google practices, the ability to make Graphene work smoothly on Pixel 10 and future Pixel phones can't be guaranteed.
The Graphene people are now talking about crowdfunding to hire a manufacturer to produce phones with hardware specs designed for GrapheneOS... shit's expensive as fuck.
So yeah, Google's starting to close shit off and its making everybody else's life more difficult.

2025-06-12 23:59:43 UTC

Holy shit... I heard the AOSP situation was getting dire, but GrapheneOS is actually talking about crowding bespoke OEM hardware now :omg:

Public Call for DarkMod Beta Testing, "The Last Night in Stonemarket"
After a long year of tinkering and slaving over a hot DarkRadiant, I'm finally ready to start public beta testing of my new Dark Mod Fan Mission, "The Last Night in Stonemarket":
https://share.anon-kenkai.com/threepenny2.html
It's is a much bigger and more ambitious map than my first outing, and I'm sure it's in desperate need of outside eyes to help find and quash bugs. I'm mainly coordinating beta testing over at https://forums.thedarkmod.com/ , but if anybody plays DarkMod and wants to do some testing "out of band" over here, please feel free. I'd be happy to respond to feedback here.
