I've seen the handful of other posts over the years about Eboshi and all the other Ghibli characters being neither good or evil. I mean, that's what makes a good character, right? You don't want the hero to be good to a fault or else they come off as saccharine and unrealistic. Most commercial writing formulas talk...
There were several marathons and races going on this weekend, but the coolest one was the Barkley Marathons. You can google what they are, it's pretty interesting but I have no interest or time to get involved with distance running. The difficulty of it is what I found interesting. In 40 years only 20 people have...
Just because I want to do something doesn't entitle me to start trying, and the opposite - I can't ignore things that need to be done before I waste time on hobbies. (Just because I want to open a store doesn't mean I deserve to.) BUT In a perfect selfish world, I'd run a shop. Two years ago I had plans to grow...
It is very rare for me to read non fiction. The last time was during the pandemic when I read all six volumes of Virginia Woolf's letters. I would much rather, and get more out of, read personal stuff about the author than read about their grand ideas about how to be a great writer. AKA, craft books. Murakami makes...
If you haven't watched all of season 1 you need to bounce out of this page right now. Right Now Get Out Hit The Back Button. Right so, a while back I did a long post about how if you didn't like the pacing of the first season you were wrong. Well, you're still wrong but I deleted it because I hadn't finished the...
Back in the day Magic used to sell starter kits. They were a little cardboard box of various cards from the main set. The goal was to buy a starter kit and a few boosters and you could build a custom deck. When I started they sold things called starter decks. Little 60 card standard precons with some sort of theme....
When I was a kid the grocery store had a magazine rack when you walked in. That magazine rack also had comic books on it. If you had a spare two dollars you could pick up the latest Batman, Spiderman, or X-Men title. Many shops with a magazine or newspaper section sold comics. You didn't need to drive an hour to the...
I did it just to see if it could even handle such a thing. First up, you have to switch it over to desktop mode and install OBS. Then you set up OBS as you would on desktop, then hit stream and open your game and start playing. Simple enough. But I wanted to use my mouse and keyboard to play Skyrim. So I had to dig...
I already bought propane and shelf stable food a few days ago. I started washing all the laundry today and will get all the dishes and stuff cleaned by Friday. That's when the temps are supposed to tank and we get 2+ inches of ice on everything Saturday. That's probably normal for this time of year up north but down...
Basically anything loaded on a thin plastic disc is going to be a win in the physical media game. Yes, they will rot over time just like everything else but, where music is concerned, you are getting the best value for your money. Go to your favorite musical artists Bandcamp page or website and click on the merch....
I'm going to brace for impact on this one because I'm not going to suggest you go into these to actually watch videos. If you are going for a fun aesthetic in the background at a retro party or art installation great, do it. What I'm saying is don't invest in VHS outside of collecting. There are lots of rare...
