So we're teargassing and rubber bulleting mothers and all that now with unidentified federal agencies? People aren't lying when they say it happens fast.

Theme of 2020 (and my life) right here. And yeah, I recently watched The End of Evangelion. My A.T. Field was able to shrug it off, with me coming out of it better...?

At least you can probably count on them to wear masks... ????

The breakneck speed, especially after the recap episode, that the series progressed actually surprised me. It's almost a mistake to marathon Eva. Before the recap, it was on a monster-of-the-week format. This half you can marathon. After episode 20 it really starts to be a bad idea. Anyhow, I finished the original movies. Huh. I think overall both endings kind of says the same thing. Still I need to mull this over before I hit up the Rebuild movies. One stray thought though... Is it weird to say that while I know it's pose to be depressing but this series kind of made me reflect upon myself in a good way?

So, the microscope guy from Meet the Microcosmos crowdfunded a brand new fancy microscope. I highly suggest his channel if you want just pure viewing bliss. You see details you would never have seen in the older videos.

I knew the original Eva series ended weird but man, if it didn't went well it would've been quite the cliffhanger of an ending. Onto the movies!

Cold Steel IV PC/Switch Spring 2021, about six months sooner than I'd expect.

You brought two too many. You'd be hard pressed to find another composer like Ennio.

I checked out Osamu Tezuka's Ayako... It's my only reaction to the whole thing. I crushed it in two nights so it's pretty good but... Fuck. Though it probably could have been wrapped up better but... Fuck. These old school mangas don't mess around.

I'm finally getting around to watching Neon Genesis Evanglelion. I for sure got some stuff spoiled years ago but hey, let's see how this will go. First episode is going as I expect. Spoilers and all. I'm ready for bleakness! If I can deal with Saikano (spoiler: I can't deal with Saikano), I can deal with EVA. Edit: Wow, Asuka takes a while to come in (haven't seen her yet on episode 5). While Rei was kind of off to the side.

Hmm, I actually never tried to alt-tab out of a game then put my PC to sleep.

FINALLY A FALCOM FIGURINE I WANT WAS IT SO HARD!? Make more you cowards!

https://geofront.esterior.net/2020/06/30/trails-to-azure-now-available-to-purchase-via-paypal-on-joyolands-website/ We crashed Joyolands' website but more importantly, Geofront got a fan to ask Joyolands to implement a PayPal option on their website thus unlocking it for people outside of China to buy. That was the key to all this. At the moment, you can buy it (it's like $7) but of course don't install it just yet. It still has the DRM though I feel an installer with a patch maybe in the works. Unsure if it'll be the same as the one on the Flame edit or it'll be their own home brew solution if Geofront want to avoid using something they don't understand.

I love Yorushika and n-buna. Somehow uplifting yet depressive songs. Reflective too.

I've been listening to the Lamb of God album. It fucking slaps. Once you get listening to the lyrics, wow. The intro made me just pause my dishwashing. Song is a banger. Only thing I can improve on this video is probably the flying bullets... they're all unfired cartridges. People got to get better with this sort of things (similar thing happened with Eminem's Darkness music video, an semi-automatic gun that's not automatic) since any sign of ignorance is just another hole to distract the changes we got to fight for.

EDF!!!!!

Ditto. Got to see if I can juggle this and Zero.

I'm in firm agreement. Without Dark Souls taking that leap, we would never have seen this day or a lot of other days such as: Sure two out of the eight (then out of nine then ten...) are fan translations but they would never had gotten off the ground without the other games coming in. Now if only all ports can have dedicated teams and individuals behind them. And hey hey hey, Durante's port report: https://www.ign.com/articles/persona-4-golden-pc-port-analysis

You know, I can't believe I never really gave System of the Down a chance when I was younger. I think what would've turned me off would be Serj Tankian's vocal style but for present day me, I love it. It sells their songs well. I can't complain about how he sometimes goes total Valley Girl accent too.

Looks like we're starting to get rumblings against HCW and health experts. This will be fun.
