Somehow, I'm in the top 50 US players in Rhythm Typer. (At least for now.) I think that this is a sign that not enough people are playing the game, so please feel free to knock me down a few pegs. Otherwise, I might start to think that I'm actually fairly decent at rhythm games.

Highly recommend anyone reading this to go and read Z.A.T.O. // I Love the World and Everything In It if you haven't already. (It's free!) It's a slightly(?) surreal mystery VN set in a town that doesn't exist about a Soviet schoolgirl that wants to confess her love to the universe itself. It's reminiscent of stuff like Serial Experiments Lain and Shimeji Simulation, so if you like those sorts of things, you'll probably like this too. It's very good.

Imagine a magical girl anime where the main girl, Muzumuzu Maimai-chan, slowly gets drunk on the power of it all and has to have an intervention before she destroys the world. Then for the rest of the series she's sitting on the sidelines suffering from withdrawal, smoking cigars and drinking cheap booze while cursing out the rest of her team.

I wish for nothing more than for A Lazy Guy Woke Up as a Girl One Morning by Kobayashi Kina to get an anime adaptation so that we can witness Igarashi's greatness in motion. If that would happen, my soul could find fulfillment... Too bad it was cancelled after only three volumes like three years ago.

"[Yiânte] tells us to imagine a game conceived by a fallen angel wherein one newly selected man or woman (The "Participant") is tortured for thirty minutes every hour. You, an innocent bystander, are stationed before a switch that can at any moment be used to end this game. Doing this, though, will grant the current or most recently selected participant an additional thirty minutes of torture.

"Supposing that to cause harm is always immoral, at what point would you activate the switch, if ever?"

"When someone dies of an incurable disease, it's a tragedy. Yet when they live for even a day longer everyone sheds tears for their suffering."

"Indeed, could it not be said that a forgotten past is no different from an unknown future? If an apple placed in a box is forgotten, then whose right is it to say that a pear may not be drawn forth? In much the same way, has a forgotten tragedy truly occurred?

"Though of course, the impact of such a tragedy could never be truly forgotten. A broken heart is broken, even if none remember from where the cracks came."
