Set this world on fire now

  • The Kickstarter for The Crane Rider's Tale, a Chinese fantasy-inspired murder mystery is live! I hope it gets funded, I'm really looking forward to it. The art style, the ability to RIDE A BIRD, and the murder mystery aspect already have me sold. The cited influences (besides Disco Elysium) are also games I have on my wishlist...!

  • A cool website: Mahjong: a Visual Guide with Hong Kong and Taiwan rulesets.

  • Photos of recent eats. I'm still a little sick—thankfully it's a long weekend, but me not making a full recovery in 12-24 hours is making me antsy.

  • I caught the ONE OK ROCK - Detox Tour movie last week. The theater surround sound + audio editing really made me feel like I was there, I was so hyped for Make It Out Alive and The Beginning. (And, as a bonus, I had Din Tai Fung for dinner, so I have nothing but positive associations.)

  • I read the first 6 volumes of Touma Rei's The Water Dragon's Bride, a shoujo manga about a girl who is transported to another world and chosen as a sacrificial bride. Very 2000s animanga vibes but lacking an interest in details. Thoughts here.

  • I've been posting more on Bearblog lately bc it's less social (and thus anxiety-inducing) and I like the Discovery feed where you can see the posts of other blogs! I hope the platform doesn't die...???

  • It's so hot haha and electricity rates have been spiking again haha and according to the news other countries might build data centers here haha (but I suppose I'm glad that we still have power since a month ago we were worried about rationing electricity)
