I think Hajime No Ippo might be one of my new favorite animes. Like 40 something episodes in and man, shit is so good.

It's so good! Such beautiful backgrounds with janky controls and sometimes counter-intuitive puzzles but I love it so much. Definitely give it a play

Can't remember the last time I paid over $30 for a game and didn't immediately regret it.

Meanwhile, I paid $5-10 for The Longest Journey 15 years ago and I still think of that game like every week.

Did my first jujitsu class yesterday. Kinda understand the 2 holds they showed me (6 step arm-bar, scissor sweep) but need to practice them more. Had lots of fun. Wasn't sure what to expect at first but everyone was really friendly and didn't get any weird vibes from anybody. Going to a judo class on Sat.

What the fuck am I supposed to do when we roll? I was just tryna pin the other person like if we were wrestling but idk

Is Blue Prince good? I keep seeing it on gamepass but I passed it up for Citizen Sleeper and 1000x resist

Had a buddy enthusiastically recommend 'Snow Crash' by Neal Stephenson and I'm 2 chapters in and I kinda hate it tbh. The writing gets on my nerves and reminds me of some sort of proto r*ddit "le epic bacon" ass kinda writing. I imagine this was probably funny in 1992 when it came out but I don't think I'm gonna finish it unless someone tells me it gets better.

On the flip side, started reading 'Grapes of Wrath' since I don't remember anything about it but always see that one paragraph posted here, and fell in love with the writing right away.

Wild that there are people out there that only play competitive online games. Like, those are my least favorite games. Give me lots of lore and words. Honestly, I don't even care if there's any actual gameplay.

What's with the ultra-rich and yachts? Like why is that the go-to for these people? My mind immediately goes to them doing illegal acts (read: sexpest shit) on international waters, but I mean, there's gotta be something else, yeah?
