#ApocalypseBringer #anime had a very interesting description of what being a "bad person" entails, and how it's about selfishness and freedom.

Felt icky all weekend and couldn't do any #DreamDemon editing... :(

I hope I still get my #RoyalRoad chapter ready Wednesday...

Unfortunately it's a long one, over 2k words BEFORE edits.

Ahh memories...

It's been decades since I've been reminded how out of sync #anime dubs could be...

Wow... Watching #anime somewhere other than #Crunchyroll really makes me realize how spoiled I am by the lack of commercials...

Huh... I was going to watch a random movie on #PrimeVideo

But I guess I'll watch the "From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman" #anime instead...

Though I worry it will just be another harem show mixed with random swordfighting.

(And I have no clue how I'll hashtag the name if it's any good)

I appreciate the ridiculousness of waiting for a half dozen people to turn the tide of battle in #ScoopedUpAnime.

I also enjoy when they make some excuse to include singing in a series.

Well, I'll say this about #OutcastsRestaurant #anime, it has a surprising amount of variety.

The #Clevatess #anime pacing would have been better if they dealt with the bug wizard this week and Drel next...

Instead a whole lot of nothing happened and next week will probably be rushed, or worse, another cliffhanger.

I'm cautiously optimistic that I'll be able to pick up a user #DodgeCharger #EV in a couple years for cheap...

Unfortunately I also doubt there will be any new ones being made by then.

So hard keeping a consistent dialect when I #amWriting...
But I definitely feel the payoff is worth it.

Just "finished" editing the next #DreamDemon chapter...

Schedule for Wednesday release on #RoyalRoad (so that I can hopefully edit it a bit more tomorrow)

I'm really curious about the "shadow flicker" at the end...

Was it a sign that our MC is becoming his character and losing his humanity?

Or was it a sign that Atou was returning to being an NPC...

Or was it completely unrelated and irrelevant?

Atou is an interesting character...

She's a yandere but doesn't fit the typical mold...

One thing I wonder, was her evil monologue actually done to allow her to gain more information?

She only absorbs strong thoughts, and her words definitely would steer his...

I definitely like the #anime approach to the Holy Knight confrontation in #ApocalypseBringer better than the #WebNovel

Just finished catching up on the #Clevatess #anime.

Wow. Definitely a heavy series.

If ep1 was brutal from a monster perspective, 2 was brutal from a human one.

Wow. Heavy.

Just watched #Clevatess #anime ep1 on #Crunchyroll.

I didn't realize it was double length until it was almost over, so it certainly held my attention.

Definitely a brutal / dark setting...

I wish I had more time to watch tonight!

I definitely have mixed feelings about the #NewSaga #anime.

Some parts are amazing and the end of this week's episode made me look up what happens next.

But other parts just don't work for me...

The editing slog continues... At least I'm on track for getting #DreamDemon #WebNovel chapter 8 out next week.

Ultimately I think fan fiction requires you to understand the setting to enjoy.

Using a familiar plot on the other hand is something done ALL the time...

I remember hearing somewhere that there are only 7 different plots, and the details are what make them unique.

I'm a big fan of #Exode. It's an #indiegame where humanity is fleeing an alien attack...

Think #BattlestarGalactica but with proper space aliens.

My question is, if I use the plot/tone but none of the other game elements, does it count as #fanfiction?

I think not... But I'd like other opinions.

Uh oh... I just saw a glitch in the #Matrix...

My coworker just left the lab twice...

At the cost of sleep I read ahead.
I'm glad Atou is indeed OP

I appreciated the internal strife with the knights & Mercs

I expect her new ability will be very useful in the future

I look forward to learning what new hero joins the party!

I wonder what hero will be summoned next.

Gah... #ApocalypseBringer #anime cliffhanger!

It's back to the #WebNovel!

Ok... I didn't quite predict that revelation in #UglymugAnime...

And apparently I'm still watching it...

I should be working on #DreamDemon, but its already late and I can't bring myself to start editing the next chapter.

The good:
- Its another stat block free chapter.
- After editing it should be around 2K words.

The bad:
- Editing conversations which use dialects...

"Scooped Up by an S-Rank Adventurer" #anime ep4 felt too short (in a good way)!

All of a sudden the episode ended and I still wanted more. (Even knowing everything which will happen)

To be clear, it's not that I don't understand what happened, it's just that the discordant art style and characters and everything just didn't work for me.

I have no idea what I just watched...

And I consider myself well versed in #CthulhuMythos.

I will not be watching ep2 of "Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show" #anime
