Yeah... it's a minor chime in, but item based progression (ala terraria and minecraft, in this case) is as legitimate a form of character progression as the stats/skills paradigm. You can have an RPG without having levels, never mind stats or skills. There's a few that are purely or mostly item based. Brogue is a good example of one that's primarily item based.

Hydrogen Peroxide is better than oil.

This. It does, however, take some time to do it right. Expect to be laying on your side for a good fifteen to twenty minutes at minimum. Still, it's very effective. Put a bit in your ear then wait for the sound to stop.

You must go older. There were several FR based games for like, dos and crap. The old gold box wuzzits and related material. Then other stuff I'm forgetting.

Oh, definitely. A fair amount would be pretty easy to cut, though, which is why I figure censorship wouldn't be too hard. Mind you, it'd probably butcher it to the extent that sailor moon was, but hell. Giant robots.

Grimdark and magical girls.
That sounds like an awkward combination.

It's supposedly one of the better recent-ish series.
As for '03, I found out what happened with a bit more reading. Turns out I was forgetting giant robot week, which explains things. And Eva wouldn't need too much censoring. Remember violence is effectively a non-issue to American TV.

Yeah... kinda looking forward to seeing what's added. This would probably be fairly hilarious, but it's not like they're looking at small supply of good-stuff-they-haven't-shown. Though I don't quite remember what Toonami's thematic line was, exactly. Other than shonen, anyway. And maybe giant robots, at least to some degree. Not like you can have enough giant robots, though, so that's all good.

Looks like my earlier happy was premature; apparently my old workplace is suffering from 'too many chiefs' syndrome, and had already hired everyone they needed, but miscommunication lead to me being told that there was a place for me. Looks like I'll be spending the summer stripping, repairing, and repainting a side of the house.

Improved by use of best color.

Callous forming activities make every bit of sense datum coming from my hands feel like cat tongue. Without the purring, or the teeth. There is no benefit from this... besides a reminder to wear g'damn gloves, anyway. The strip of flesh I managed to rub off and am going to be dousing with rubbing alchohol periodically for the next few days is going to manage that reminder just bloody fine. Also, first time I've really felt pain from hitting an wound with the stuff. It's an interesting experience.

Also, Florida. I say it regularly, but yeah. Fuck this state with the rotted tree trunk I threw into a bonfire a little bit ago. Number of times I came within a half minute or so from heatstroke: Three. Been outside... maybe six hours. Maybe five. Inside recuperating, two-three hours. Not a good ratio, but it's better than breaking my half-decade no-heatstroke spree. Before that, it was min one a year since... a long while back. They frakking suck.

Anyway. Yard work. I'm done for the day and clean now and don't feel quite so infested, but not terribly happy. Probably do it again, and I don't begrudge the effort, but being outside when the temp's over 70F is not my idea of a good time.

It wouldn't have been so bad if people had told me it was going to happen and got me up at like, three AM to go do it. But no, I got called in around ten-ish, which... this is fucking Florida. If you have two goddamn brain cells to rub together you don't do shit away from AC for a good three-four hour space centered around noon. Exceptions for when there's no other time slot or you're doing it for someone else, but still.

I will forever wonder why the hell construction and roadwork in this state doesn't start around two hours after sunset and end two or four or so after sunrise. We've got to be losing population to that stupidity.
