So we watched Andor Season 1.

Holy shit. This is television. This is television for real.

Aside from the Everything Else here... we love just how much attention it pays to making the galaxy feel lived in. You get to see so much of the little things from so many angles that it's got volume to it. Everyone did such a good job conveying what it's like to live here when you're not caught in the gears of being a Big Space Adventurer or whatever, the ways you might go about your day and how your life is impacted by the broader goings-on. It's good shit, they should make a whole show that's just folks across the galaxy going about their daily lives actually.

It's so cool being real!

I just think it's so cool being real, is all. I mean, come on, you get to have experiences?? And feel things, too. Wild stuff!

(We wanted to post something, but didn't know what. Luckily, it's always cool to post about existing! You should do it too.)

Funny cardboard

Hey gang guess who's been spending some of their tax refund money on Yu-Gi-Oh

Genuinely we do enjoy just collecting the cards. We bought Quarter Century Stampede last week and we pulled QCSR Danger!? Tsuchinoko which is to us the only card pull to ever matter. Considering getting Bonanza too it seems like a bangin' set I hope they keep doing staple-rare reprint sets this good and the 25th anniversary never ends

But also: the new Orcust support the OCG has got us the closest we have EVER come to actually hunkering down and building a proper deck irl we are so fucking excited

Gulls Early April Update: TGM4.

Tetris: The Grand Master 4 - ABSOLUTE EYE - finally released on the 4th and we really could not be happier. The music is as fantastic as ever, the gameplay feels great, the vibes are on point, we're just rusty at being alright at Tetris. Even in its current state (there are a lot of kinks left to work out - adding keyboard binding chiefest among them - but they're *absolutely* working on them as hard as they can), it's some wonderful stacking action that you shouldn't miss.

... Also, Standard/World rotation and Marathon mode feel so deeply, deeply wrong after so long focusing in on the TGMs as our main Tetris fix. Why do the pieces rotate like that, why does the hard drop lock a piece but the soft drop doesn't, and why do they build up so slowly.

As part of this little update I would ALSO like to add...

That we read the first VN of Higurashi When They Cry, Onikakushi! Good shit! We have a gut feeling that past a certain point a significant amount of stuff stops being *real* and starts being the product of Keiichi's fears but ooo also there's absolutely a lot of very real spooky mysterious stuff happening

Can't wait to see the way things evolve from here, given it has a hell of an ending

We've been listening to a lot of Billy Joel lately?

I dunno! We specifically cannot seem to escape The Stranger (album)... its songs keep returning to our life to haunt us. Uwwawauh!

They should make a video game...

... that's it. They should make literally one video game, ever. There has NEVER been a SINGLE recorded video game in human history, and thus someone needs to do something about that!

(no subject)

... We like to look up and read stuff from folks who are just discovering their own potential plurality. Weird and cool, the ways it can line up (and not line up) with our own experiences, you know.

... Honestly, it's... kind of wild being, like. Seven and a half months into being plural, ourselves. ... Not in a bad way, of course, we're genuinely incredibly happy that it's all been working out for us - just, it still feels so relatively new, you know.

I need to stop ending paragraphs with you know, you know. Jeez.

8.2

Steel, straight through me. Blood. Blood and copper, and love straight up the spine, and -

- and I wake up with a jolt, sitting upright stiffly as my eyes snap open.

I shake my head. My stomach rumbles, and I smell something delicious from downstairs.

the desperate need to come out as trans: update

it very much gets stronger as the days pass. hell a week ago we even made a silly powerpoint to prove to ourselves that this was stuff we *could* get out of our head and across to the family we live with, and i think that has helped push that line a little further.

we really REALLY gotta. 2025 is gonna be the year it happens we swear

So every so often...

... we get tempted, just a little bit, to play one game from Action 52 over a week, every week, for a year. Stupid? Absofuckinglutely. However, the name 'Year of Action' would be so cool, and that's literally the one reason this goofy-ass idea has stuck in our craw so long...

If you're reading this, and you're feeling completely crazy..... you should do it? Do what we're too cowardly to! Live the Year of Action! Play the shitty games! Blog extensively about each one!

2025, finally

as road work sign guy/youtube personality drew gooden once put it, "new year, new me? hell nah. i'm still a little bitch."

one final RIV to cohost, which is returning to the primordial computer soup and leaving archives behind. i'll miss you funny website

our new year's resolution? finally fucking start doing literally anything in the direction of transitioning, no matter how much harder it might get in the recent future. we can't just stay in this holding pattern forever

Also: we have now watched Gundam SEED Destiny and SEED Freedom.

... While we're all here posting, I think it's important we reveal this news. This one's a little... longer, for our normal posts, I guess.

We're talking about Gundam SEED Destiny and Freedom here, obviously, and our thoughts on it.

also: hey! how's it been

a friend's considering running an eidolon: become your best self second edition one-shot this weekend, something goofy where all our eidolons are named after christmas songs, and it'll be super funny if it happens. we have a guy planned and her eidolon, "The Polar Express", is a real actual steam train that she cannot easily use in any situation that isn't long distance travel by way of "how are you going to fit a steam train into literally any conflict in a space tighter than wide open area big enough to comfortably fit a train". it could be so fucking hilarious if she gets to use train ONCE in combat

in more video-gamey news: i've been worried that i was missing one of my favorite yearly livestreaming events, the Kusoge Advent Calendar (every day brings a new fighting game that is usually, in some interesting way, shit! it's a great time). turns out my worrying was for nothing: it's not happening this year for real life reasons. wishing tyron the best! instead, chose to read over the write-ups for last year, which you should also do... i really need to drag a friend into playing some more change air blade

wishing y'all well! let's make next year a good one despite it all
