Dan Everton @deverton.iocaine.org · 21/06/2026After finishing Persona 5 Royal I thought I'd give Persona 5 Strikers a go. Apparently musou games are _really_ not my thing.

Dan Everton @deverton.iocaine.org · 19/02/2026On a whim, I priced out what it would cost to build the same PC I built last year. Pretty much the same components across the board and it's $700 more than I paid over 12 months ago. That's not the direction I expected part prices to go. 010 0
