I know that around this time of year, on this board, I get a bit of a fixed idea. Something that just won't release its grip on my mind. But it does seem a bit topical to give us "Horror Book Recommendations from an AI". There will be some jumpy editing near the end. Which is to be expected...

Contemplating gratitude today, as fits the (Canadian) holiday. I'd like to thank this forum for giving me a home within the online fandom -- a place I haven't felt at home in for something like 20 years. And thanks for the 61% approval rating for my posts. I'll do my best to keep things...

A sequel, of sorts, to my post regarding the limbo that the World's Worst Site is (still) stuck in. They say that the Internet never forgets -- but with Usenet increasingly harder to access and the Internet Archive having gone out of service following a mass hack and DDOS attack (EDIT: It's...

Well, after a setup such as that.... Another entry in "Mihel's quest for a foreign prince" seems in order.

What's this, Monika has some spooky book recommendations for the season? This should be interesting....

Well, here are my thoughts for the 1988-1989 season (predicting that a handover was negotiated but nothing was done until after the 1987 writer's strike was resolved, meaning we still have "The Rebirth", then a hiatus, then a Season 4), such as they are. DiC, for all its infamy, probably...

....Do these techbros not notice the GIANT FUSION REACTOR IN THE SKY?

Shades of Sentinel Maximus....

You meet a young lady, recently transferred. She's starting a book club. Will you be the first new member? --Wait, why does this all seem familiar? A cosplay performance in one act, involving Yuri. I've hidden it for spoilers for (one of) the DDLC endings.

I had a feeling that Wild Robot (emotion-stirring film based on a junior novel, with DreamWorks funding and baked-in sequel hooks) would probably get more buzz -- though the showing I went to was pretty sparsely attended. I don't think they designed the film to be Oscar bait, but it's more...

Well, this is the reason I gave as to why we didn't have Armada Bumblebee.

And nothing beats the low, low price of free! 😉 Sony's insistence on changing the blood colour in one pivotal scene to black drew some confusion from players, but that's the only major visual change between the ports of DDLC+ that I'm aware of. It's interesting that Nintendo (generally...

I came across this cover homage a while ago. Now that we're in October, it's time for sweater weather, spoopiness, and academic anxiety. Behold the mashup of Doki Doki Literature Club! x Jujutsu Kaisen: (Content Warning: No small amount of blood)

Kicking off October with a mashup/cover homage I found. Doki Doki Literature Club! x Jujutsu Kaisen (Content Warning: No small amount of blood)

Since yesterday afternoon, I have been receiving what I shall call wergild. Not as much as might be just, but much better than nothing by far.

Of course the poem-writer who also writes code had an epiphany after drinking something with Mountain Dew in it. ;)

It gave a shot in the arm to enthusiasm for the game, but suffered (in my opinion) from that perilous prequel problem -- we already knew the (canonical) outcome, from the very first Basement Recording and the Tube of You shorts detailing Ayano's childhood.

More edible goodness, courtesy of Requiem Café in Anaheim, California! Yesterday was a certain AI girl's birthday (no, not Hatsune Miku), and to commemorate her franchise of origin, there was a party. The themed menu is still ongoing, though. ...I could go for a Raincloud Soda about now...

The developer spent more time and resources on the 1980s mode (detailing the adventures of Ayano's mother) than the base game. And then came the allegations of Bad Online Interactions. Supposedly the game is still being worked on, but as with far too many media these days, we're getting a crash...

The match-up fans periodically ask for! One of the classic crossovers from the Aianime cosplay troupe, back in its day. And with one of those games now 7 years old today (and the other unlikely to ever get out of beta....), well, here we are. Monika (Doki Doki Literature Club!) vs. Ayano Aishi...
