Win/Super key

I find that pretty safe.

ATM I love the soundtracks of:

• Civilization 6
• Genshin Impact
• Persona 3
• Rimworld (+ P-music mod)

I never knew overtightening was a real issue until it happened to me. I was going to send back my motherboard until I saw someone suggest to loosen the screws of my heatsink.

That actually worked.

Yup, the Hideaki Anno movie! I think it's one of the greatest movies I've seen. There's a chapter of the book called Sexography that discusses the movie very well. It kind of helped me understand the issue a bit more.

I haven't seen Ritual yet but it's on my watch list!

• Perfect Blue
• The End of Evangelion
• Love & Pop

It's probably the file extension. It's a picture of Senjougahara Hitagi though.

I mentioned last time how Nadeko changed a lot throughout the series. Now, different faces(phases) of Nadeko materialize thanks to Yotsugi which made me realize that Nadeko changed much more than I had originally thought. We have Current-Nadeko, Meek-Nadeko, Wrath-Nadeko, Flirty-Nadeko, and God Nadeko. That's a lot of Nadekos.

Yotsugi also mentioned Gaen Izuko and Kagenui Yozuru so I wonder if they're going to appear in this season. Gaen is also one of my favorites. Speaking of appearances, Oshino Ougi makes one and seems to be a major character this season. I'll have to remember that Ougi is a boy now.

As usual, this episode is a visual treat. It's much closer to Bakemonogatari (Season 1) than any of the other seasons I think. It really looks like mixed-media artwork compared to the other seasons.

Some screenshots for this episode:

With these screenshots alone, it's hard to convince someone that this is anime. Monogatari Series really stands out because of this and this is why I really love this series.

Bypassing paywalled articles.

There's old movies there, too.

It's Senjougahara Hitagi's birthday today so wish her a happy birthday!

Wait. It's out already?!

edit: It's 30 minutes long. It starts with a live action shot of an egg cracking. That's how you know it's good.

It retains a lot of what I love about the Monogatari series. Lengthy dialogue paired with its unique visual style that sets it apart from a lot of anime. It still has that really harsh and bloomy lighting style that creates weird geometry from shadows, the space around the characters are surreal, the style of animation interchanges, and the cuts are quick.

I think the music is a bit different from what we usually had though but a lot of sound effects (like when the characters talk sometimes) are still there.

Nadeko really changed a lot. This shot explains it:

She's my second favorite character in the series so I'm happy we're getting more of her especially since she's the character who had some dramatic changes.

The voice actors are great! We just saw Hayami Saori's performance in Giji Harem and her emotionless monotone voice as Ononoki sets the role apart. Everyone sounds just as they did over a decade ago (especially Hanazawa Kana whose voice is unforgettable!).

We didn't get an opening theme yet but we do have the ED theme with Yoasobi's performance and Hajime Ueda's illustrations of the characters.

I've never read the novels, so I couldn't tell whether the adaption is faithful or not.

A pleasant Sunday morning!

Here's a compilation of some of my favorite shots (in a spoiler tag so it doesn't take up the entire page):

I just finished the manga the other day so it's still fresh in my mind. I wasn't expecting Hayami Saori as Nanakura but it was a pleasant surprise. She's played a really wide range of characters so it's fun to see her in a role that does... exactly that.

Okay, for the actual Giji Harem: CUTE! They're both just teasing each other throughout the episode. It's really playful and funny at times. Not much else to say yet since we're only establishing the characters.

Can't wait for the rest of the episodes!

I absolutely love Doom. Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal are some of the best singeplayer FPS games I've played.

Slay the Spire: surprisingly addicting for a simple card game. I played other online card games in the past and its the first I enjoyed deck building. I got fed up though because I lost to the third boss in my Watcher run. I'm doing an Ironclad run again because he's my favorite.

Oxygen Not Included: I put almost 30 hours in my first two days. I like Rimworld more for the combat but it's still pretty fun.

I'm thinking of buying Civilization V on Steam. I'm fed up with League of Legends, I need something else to play especially for the summer.

"Sans Soleil" by Chris Marker.

It's a documentary that only uses "stock footage" and a woman reading letters. It's about time and memory and other philosophical stuff.

I also really like the tunnels feature. It makes self hosting at home easy for those under NAT/CGNAT or whatever it was called.

The Great Train Robbery (Edwin S. Porter)

It's really impressive and frightening how good her impressions are lol

サメビーム！

Advent felt like they debuted yesterday. I'm surprised they're pumping out another batch so soon.
