you know things are getting seriously bad when there's just a rogue dust jacket dicking around. i just noticed the fucking mini bulldog sauce on there whilst writing the alt text.

a shelf full of books. the back is lined vertically, and the front is a haphazard stack of horizontal ones. there is a dust jacket on the right. there is a mini bulldog sauce next to it

its worth noting before i spread too much negativity to my vast and ravenous post-audience that using compatibility mode on windows will mostly keep your delay to a pretty nice number, especially if you kill vsync (which anything concerned with delay should do anyway)

this is what my writing looks like in my head when im particularly morose. 'wet sacking'

Vishnu was twenty-five wearing the face of fifty. Hard living lays itself on a man like wet sacking; it never asks permission. His eyes narrowed against the glare outside and the darker glare inside him: old promises that never ripened, the ache where hope should live, a gnawing sense that land can own a man while making him swear the land belongs to him.

re: collage im obsessed with this part of an interview my partner sent me

Hayashida: Here’s the background I used for one of the volume covers.

(an image of the collage for a cover. its big and covered in mini turf, etc)

–Daaang. Look at the work you’ve put into it, despite the fact that there’s no way the printers could ever actually reproduce this on the covers. (laugh) Very cool. The relief on it is so well done.

Hayashida: When I put together the first volume, I made it a little too bumpy and they told me they couldn’t print it, so now I’ve been holding back and making it flatter. They also told me that I had to stop making it so glossy because it doesn’t photograph properly, but I just kept on doing it anyway and they’ve just given up on that front.

ceaseless thanks to gideon for sending me this interview

Hayashida: Well, it is a funny manga. I wish he’d kept the series going! Another manga I buy immediately after each volume comes out is Shigurui.

–Ooh, Shigurui. What a manga. That vaguely homosexual aesthetic…

terminal in new vegas that does more in a paragraph than the fo show did in its two seasons

Bullykov will get more than lunch money out of your kids. He'll have national secrets! And while they're parading him through Red Square as a national hero, your children will be working in forced labor camps, right next to you and your beautiful young wife, who's now wrinkled and homely since the communists have banned makeup because it expresses individuality.

(HOLDING A GUN, FIDDLING WITH THE SAFETY): you know, i could totally shoot you right now. just pull the trigger and bam! and it would feel great. I'd love it--I've checked. but you know, I wouldn't do that--I wouldn't do it. it would be the wrong thing to do.
