Even though I didn’t exactly have high expectations, I still have to add the TOG side story, Urek Mazino, to my list of disappointments of the year. Although TOG fans deny it, especially on Reddit, TOG has been declining for a while now with overconvoluted lore, bad pacing, and bullshit power scaling.

When SIU announced a hiatus to get shit straight and produce the side story, I thought he would cut the fat and tell a straightforward power fantasy. Instead, he added even more overconvoluted lore with the same awful pacing. So yeah, despite the low expectations, it’s still disappointing.

The irony of creating an account specifically to tell someone to get a job… then doubling down when called out. Zero self-awareness.

I don't know what's worse: people who snipe a team that's doing an excellent job, or the people who support the sniper's actions. Sure, some teams are behind the raws, and I'd like the chapters faster too, but I appreciate the quality of their work and understand that it takes time. These groups put in a lot of effort for free, and the least people could do is show some basic respect. I dunno, I just think it's sad to see this lack of consideration, especially when the original team has been doing everything right.

Wait hold on a sec, wtf is this!? Last I checked you were a cute anime waifu! Now suddenly you became a hardcore smoking manly man!?
Do you eat nails and talk like Duke Nukem now!?

You know, I hate Rent-A-Girlfriend as much as the next guy, and I think the world would be a better place without it, but the censorship they applied in the newest chapter should be considered a crime.

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only aura farming.

I'm flabbergasted by the engineering behind these adult toys. I mean, just look at this big boy here:



This combiner figure is made up of eight other figures, and each one has three forms: a robot, a beast, and of course, the combiner form.

Here's a video of a funny Asian guy showing off each figure and then combining them together:

40K!!!!

Congratulations, Paisen!!!

Also, are you feeling a little bit better now? Stay hydrated, senpai~ 🤘🏻💕

It's over.

Woahh someone got a new face~
I see you senpai ~

I’m officially retiring from in-depth manga commentary. These days it always goes one of two ways: either a circular argument where no one changes their mind, or a wave of dismissive, rude replies. I’m not sure which is worse. One is mentally draining, the other just pisses me off. And then there’s the occasional gang-up too. So yeah, I’ll just stick to memes and meaningless one-liners.

Today I’m feeling like a stereotypical man.

My mom asked me to move a double bed to the third-floor bedroom and the single bed from the third floor to one of the bedrooms on the second floor.

So today I put on my hiking boots (always protect your feet when carrying heavy things), grabbed my tools (a man’s gotta have tools), which are a flathead screwdriver and a Phillips screwdriver, and got to work.

After two hours, the job was done. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to crack a cold one and assert my masculinity by training anime horse girls in Umamusume: Pretty Derby.

Did I miss the memo that this week’s theme was ‘being an asshole just because you can’? It’s been a long time since I’ve had so many bad interactions on the forum and seen so many people acting like assholes just for the sake of it.

There were two manga I had high expectations for this year: the serialization of Koroshi to Uso no Marriage and The Fable: The Third Secret.

Koroshi to Uso no Marriage: The original premise was abandoned, turning it into Bouryoku Banzai, a fighting manga where everything is completely over the top.

The Fable: The Third Secret: I am not enjoying it at all. The story is not interesting, and the comedy, which was a defining feature of the first two parts, is missing.

I guess the lesson here is: don’t have expectations.

Rest in peace, Prince of Darkness.

I just lost all my progress in Umamusume: Pretty Derby on my iPhone...

So… I linked my data to my Apple account when I started playing, but the game kept asking me to link it every time I opened it. It got annoying, so I tried linking it again—only for it to overwrite my save and wipe all my progress (7 days gone).

Yeah, I didn’t read anything and just clicked through... so fuck me, I guess.

And I had just pulled Tokai Teio from the event.

FUCK.

P.S. Don’t be fooled—that’s not chocolate.
