Me storyboarding half my fic but being mentally incapable of completing a chapter within a month, much less 6:

What's going on?
It's annoying or not interesting
I'm in this photo and I don't like it
I think it shouldn't be on Facebook
It's spam

How it feels trying to explain that Kanji is almost certainly gay and that it's fine

Kanji is attracted to a person he believes is male

Kanji is still attracted to that person after discovering they identify as female throughout the rest of the game

Kanji is somewhere on the queer spectrum, likely some form of bisexual (probably pan or omni) but that's comparatively a small part of his vastly deep character that makes him so loveable

His Shadow is focused more on how he's perceived as lesser or weird/creepy by women

"Men are much better" and "I vastly prefer men" are both referring to Kanji thinking he won't be judged by other men

This game was written 2007, Japan barely had a concept of what gay people were back then

The fact that Naoto is actually a woman throws any notion that Kanji is gay out the window

Why does him being gay matter in the first place? Naoto shows little attraction to him in canon in the first place so even if she was male Naoto still wouldn't fuck him

Average day in the life of an SMT game NPC for anyone who is not the protagonist

Jesus, man, this Devil Summoning gig is FUCKED. I just saw a guy point down an alleyway and scream "VAPORIZE THEM, ARDHA" or some shit like that, and I saw some weird thing with three arms lob a fireball the size of a Minicoop in there and turn a bunch of Shave Ice Frosts into Magatsuhi. The camera didn't even go onto him, that's how common shit like this is! Meanwhile, MY ass is trying to getting my pet rabbit to cast Zio and Dia. I think I just saw some shirtless guy with tattoos all over his body do the DIO lean and the ground started cracking underneath him like two blocks down?

I gotta get my ass outta here.

Nah, that's too difficult. Just add in resources that will further make you disappointed in the world and feel like you have no control over your own life/information anymore!

Okay so you know that one meme of the mini TF2 pyro doing a thumbs up at the camera while being held like a plushie? Yea its that but with the Nerd from Nerd & Jock

How I sleep at night knowing I will never do the Weird Route or No Mercy route in a Toby Fox game or Accomplice ending in P4G because I'm an ontologically good human being/player who doesn't wanna hurt anyone if I don't have to and wants to help Kris and Yu however I can

8. Good Kid (@goodkidband.bsky.social) Like a lot of ppl I found them through the From The Start cover which is amazing (go listen to this mix btw, gives a very "mutual pining but scared it won't work" feel that hits me hard (www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKK4... )). Indie rock is back baby

The cover art for the band Good Kid's cover of a song called From The Start, originally by Laufey. It depicts what seems to be a little witch holding a wand with a crescent moon on the end in her left hand up to the sky, and a comically large wrench in her right. Cartoon ghosts are behind her, and she's surrounded by hearts and sparkles.

7. Halo 3 ODST In the same vein of low-orbit drop pod troops, I started playing this finally thru MCC. Never got a chance to do a full playthrough when I was younger. Soundtrack is goated despite the guy behind it being GOP trash, nails the noir aesthetic without missing a single beat.

6. Helldivers 2 Bought the game and started jumping alongside the Boxdivers. INCREDIBLY fun and shockingly easy to get premium currency from regular gameplay. Arrowhead is an example to be followed, as is the game's player base for pushing back against investor-driven decisions

#plannersky Ended up watching the first few episodes of Trinity Soul with friends. It's really bad but we have to commit to the bit now.

08/18/2025
Most of the day will go towards bringing the Dutchman to [REDACTED]. Ideally we'll be back by 5:30, anything else is bonus.
Try to pick Anki deck back up, watch 100 Kanojo unsubbed afterward.
Continue Raidou.

Proteus the Patchwork (PatchworkProteusVA) @patchworkproteusva.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

I know this is gonna sound stupid but Raidou remaster rn is feeling like the most Persona-like SMT game I've played yet, even more than DDS imo. The world feels actually lived in and characters feel like regular people unlike SMTV or DDS and the way you use daemons w/ investigations helps that a lot

I did end up actually starting Raidou. Very fun, surprisingly felt easier to get into than Strikers which I still haven't finished. Might pick that back up soon too. Also set an alarm so I can actually get up on time. Really need to be better about that. #plannersky

5. The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You Rentarou is simply the greatest to ever do it. No one does it like him. I want to be him. I would transition just so I could be this man's girlfriend. I went into it thinking it was slop. I was actually so wrong. It's goated.

The most iconic page from the 100 Kanojo manga by Rikito Nakamura and Yukiko Nozawa, effectively a copypasta in which the protagonist proclaims exactly what he loves about each of his at the time girlfriends.

4. Persona 5 X I want to like this game. I want to like this game so damn badly. It's got so much that a lore nerd like me would eat up like candy. But Global's pulls are 1/7 of what China and Japan get. Unless they give the players a decent amount of pulls relative to Japan, it'll die in months :(.

Me personally I say Episode Labrys, just bc some ppl aren't tuned into fighting games like that and Arena/Ultimax is unironically an incredible expansion of P4's themes through both her and Minazuki that should be brought to more players #persona #persona4remake

A sign I made for a protest at my state's capitol DISCLAIMER: I am not associated with SnapCube, SEGA, or PaperBoxHouse

A protest sign I made. At the top, it reads "ALL FASCISTS HAVE SMALL DICKS".
Below is a picture of Dr. Eggman from Sonic The Hedgehog, during his iconic speech from Sonic Adventure 2 that I taped to the sign.
To the left of Eggman is a hand drawn bisexual pride flag, and below that is the circular peace sign (☮️) alongside a heart. There is also a sticker below those symbols, reading "We will always be here, we will always be queer".
To the right of Eggman reads "KICK NAZIS IN THE WALNUTS".

Even the ultimate weapon for the [Devil] Summoner refers to the Sea Of Souls (something oft reserved for Persona) instead of the Expanse.

I've been stuck on bullet trains for the last 18 hours traveling from Sapporo to Hiroshima. Listening to Ado on repeat while playing Balatro is the only thing that's kept me sane.
Help.
