Megabear.

Good, it’s the least that can be done with this man.

I won a particularly hard CPU battle in my video game today, so I am a little proud.

I do think we should at least limit them until the U.S. actually does something that matches with his rambles. Mainly, I also feel that people will eventually end up hearing whatever Trump posted in their usual news anyway.

I know I am creatively bankrupt when I name my Dynasty Warriors edit characters (OCs) after the hit travesty that is Return of his Majesty (皇帝回乡).

Today and yesterday, I got so frustrated with being slightly inconvenienced by my computer. Yesterday, I tried to wipe some stuff from my browser history so that it won’t pop up when I search for something similar which did include my cookies for just the last hour. My computer freezes, and ends up wiping all of my cookies (luckily not my history and bookmarks although that has happened before with a Firefox update). That was really annoying.

Today, I was locked in on discovering some really old stuff that some people were asking for the source way back then…only to be met with an entire system update which explains why my browser was just super unresponsive (although half of it was likely from the heat) when I was like really close to getting to the source. So yay for that time waster until the update was done.

and to throw one last wrench, Firefox also has an update today which again, I only realized because my browser is chugging…

I know that what those people mean by “normal” mostly is to not alienate people within and out of your movement for pragmatic reasons but it always raised an eyebrow with me. At least from other TrueAnon redditors who uses that quote, there is always an air of cutting out the undesireables less it sabotage the movement. It also doesn’t help that many of those people also tended to usually point the issue with LGBT, the homeless, people of color and disabled folks first. Asking for them to be quiet so that the “normal” people can get things done.

Yeah! Like it’s so odd. I know it’s Youtube so it’s likely those comments are the result of astroturfing but like why even bring up this shit when it’s not even a video related to anything around the subject matter.

But it wouldn’t be a stupid culture war nonsense if it made any sense.

So today I learned about the culture war around right wings opposing BCE/CE, favoring the christian BC/AD, after reading many spam comments on a Chinese history video because the voiceover uses BCE/CE.

I do know that there are reasons for distrusting BCE/CE but I probably should be skeptical of youtube commenters on…well anything really.

There have been some gaming posts that have been in my head for a while, but I haven’t had the courage or desire to write them out properly. Most of them are Dynasty Warriors related since I have broken into about averageish on Three Kingdom history.

Some examples:

A rebuttal against a casual notion that the Cao Wei faction were “evil” during DW2 - DW5 before Koei decided to make them more heroic in DW6.

Another was to examine Liu Bei’s motivations in Dynasty Warriors, how they started, and how they differ between each entry and in the Romance novel and conjecture on why Koei moved away from his Romance motivation: revive the Han Dynasty.

Okay, I had to revise this comment because I wrote too way much trying to explain everything so I just made it snappier as to not fill up the screen too much already.

Good.

My ADHD medication seems to be working for the most part. I still need to work on my gamer rage because it’s killing my throat every time I scream. I have also switched my meals to having salad alot just because I was sick for a while and lost a good deal of my appetite, so I’m trying to take advantage of it for the most part.

But overall, I am doing good even if everything else is unfortunately still awful. (war resume as that bastard of a nation is probably determined to get a victory at any cost, tumblr friends had to deal with annoying liberals/zionists, the game that I am currently laddering is giving me massive FOMO despite being awful.)

Won’t happen since they’re all made by Japanese studios.

Everytime over at the Dynasty Warrior’s reddit, there will always be repeating questions about if Koei should tackle other periods like Korea and everytime the answer basically defaults to this.

It is also worth noting that as interesting as all of the other periods in Chinese history is, they don’t really have a major classic novel which most of Koei seems to be reading or are big fans of.

The only game that does history a bit closer are most of their grand strategy games. ROTK, Nobunaga’s Ambition, and Genghis Khan all tend to be more history-focused to an extent although still limited to their era. ROTK have added generals from all throughout Chinese history as bonus officers but still haven’t had much desire to tackle outside of it.

Basically the series got like revamped?/retcon? after Pizza Simulator with Steel Wool Studios basically having to cobble together all the hasty shit Scott came up with, and they sort of shaped it into it’s own things but is kind of stuck in a perpetual contradictory ouroboros lore information eating itself.

From what I have heard is that Steel Wool did initially stumble quite badly at first with the polarizing Security Breach but have since found a little footing in grounding their lore with their latest game in Secret of the Mimic (although that does depend on whether you like the Mimic or not)

I once knew someone who really liked Chiang Kai-shek. He considered him a tragic nationalist hero, who was dealt a bad hand against the “commies”. Granted, this person was already noted to have liked controversial figures of the Three Kingdoms and would work backwards to come up with reasons to support them. Although for what it’s worth, he was a decent writer about it (although most of it has been lost because he would purge his accounts often). He was most noted for liking Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei of the Three Kingdoms, both of whom were tragic figures (from a certain viewpoint) in regards of both their ambition and complex loyalty to their respective state.

That being said, he was also exactly the right-wing dipshit you would expect from someone who liked Chiang. Always racist against the global south (with some dogwhistles), and being for the genocide of Palestine for no other reason than to spite the liberal he frequent with and being “tired” of seeing it in the news.

I still use Tumblr. Short story from my own experience is that it very much sucks but with a very lib-slanted paint-job. Staff makes no effort to hide that it regularly targets POC and trans bloggers. There are alot of prominent Zionist bloggers still on there, and the few leftists you might find on there unfortunately engages in a lot of ugly clique bullying which can range from understandable (sometime a take is geniunely bad) to overblown and needlessly cruel in response.

Oh and yeah, alot of smug and condescending libs in between all of this.

I got Hasan Piker .-.
