Just saw a really wonderful review for Retrogression that lifted my spirits! "...you can clearly feel the translator's dedication and willingness to portray Dazai in the right way..." Full review: instagram.com/p/DCzd9xQIi2P

Finally starting #SilentHillF and struggling with these puzzle sections... what the fuck is "On the second twilight, those who remain shall tear apart the two who are close" supposed to mean?

I am also the premier (only) translator of mid-18th century Japanese proto-manga dealing with Taoist immortals
Replying to @shinobu_books
One day, a Sennin by the name of Zhang Guo, known as β€œThe Elder,” sent around a circulating letter, that would make its way from one Taoist Immortal to the next. The letter invited them all to a conference on Senjutsu, the art and techniques practiced by Taoist Immortals.

I like to imagine there was a Nazca child who would refuse to eat their mashed cassava unless it was served in the mice bowl
Bowl with mice decoration, Nazca culture, dating from 100–500 AD. Currently housed in the collection of The Princeton University Art Museum.

An option to hide viera ears will be added. Choose whether or not to display ears on certain headgear. An ON/OFF subcommand has been added to the Visor toggle in the Character window to accomplish this. The display setting saves to the registered gear set equipped at that time.

Happy Pride month, here's a thread of celestial flags πŸ’«
I made a nonbinary flag out of nebulas, feel free to steal it! Might be a handy thing for galactian alignments, like nebularians or stellarians.

If you're a fan of Suda51's Kill the Past series, or want to get into it, I made a guide a while ago of all the games you should play that are connected to each other the most, alongside with some advice on how to play them!

probably the most extreme form of art I've ever seen manifested into reality, Christian Bok may very well be possessed by demons to be driven to have created this.

I remember when people use to shame you into not watching anime. Those same people now no longer go to movies, & just scroll A.I. generated murder mysteries endlessly. Their lives are an unending Faustian Nightmare.

I am excited to have submitted my PhD thesis! My thesis of 80,000+ words explores the 'Brahmin' as a gendered category. That this intersectional and critical exploration of caste and gender was submitted on Ambedkar Jayanti (14 April) holds much value for me.

Another pointless weekend project - a playable version of the old 3DMaze screensaver from Windows 9x. I reverse-engineered the original screensaver binary and added user-input functionality for the controls (and fixed some other minor issues!) github.com/x86matthew/Playab…
