Ah yes, completely hairy beastmen, but super bangable beastwomen. Anyway, I’ve already watched a couple isekai shows this season, but let’s get the rest out of the way. I already know I won’t keep following most of these insipid series to the end, but let’s find out why.

I would prefer watching every single show and just combining it all into one uber post, but there are just way, way too many new series to watch. How does one keep up? Well, it helps that I don’t have Netflix. I’m sure there are good shows on that streaming platform as well, but I refuse to pay for it. So yes, maybe Sakamoto Days would blow my pants off, but alas, I can never watch it. Yes, yes, I could sail the high seas like I once did as a broke college student, but I’ll pass. It’s not a moral thing; I’m just too lazy these days. It also helps that I’m currently trying to play through a JRPG called Reynatis, and I think it rather sucks. So for once, I’d rather update the blog than play games. Anyway…

I initially planned for my next post to be about anime, but I just finished Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake (shortened to DQ3 from here on out), and I feel like I have to get these thoughts off my chest. Before I dive into the game, however — and yes, there will be spoilers for two rather old games — I need to first talk bring up Final Fantasy X (shortened to FFX from here on out). I’ve always been a big defender of Tidus, because I feel that brash, half short, half pant wearing protagonist is often unfairly maligned at least in the JRPG circles that I’m aware of. Of course, people’s opinions are what they are. If their reaction to Tidus’s many antics is to visibly cringe, then it is what it is. Who am I to say that cringing at Tidus is wrong if that’s how you honestly feel? But you can always try to look at any situation from a different perspective and thus come to a different understanding — and understanding that doesn’t have to replace your initial reaction but add to it. I will also contend that FFX is (likely inadvertently) a look at DQ3 — or various stories like DQ3 — from a different but very important perspective.
Continue readingI get the urge to write sometimes, but when you’ve been away for so long, you just don’t know where to start. Basically, I can’t let go of this place for whatever reason. I still pay for the domain name just to never use it. I put so much time and effort into this place that I don’t want to let it die permanently. But it is dead. It’s been dead. It’s been dead for so long that the metrics no longer matter. If I want to shout into the void, I should. Just to let it out. There are no readers left to disappoint. No standards to uphold. And most of all, it just gets really annoying to try and make a point on Twitter/Bluesky only to have to break it up into so-and-so characters (I have no clue what it’s up to nowadays).
The urge is there, but history also tells us that it also disappears just as instantly. And with that said, I think that’s it for now. That’s all I’ve got. This post is like skipping a tiny rock across the pond.
I’m still thinking about it. Mulling things over.
Also, WordPress feels really annoying to use nowadays.
