Hello all! 2022 is upon us!
How are you doing this fine year! Hope you have a great one!
It’s been snowing here in Washington. Every 4 years, we have a bad winter. And it’s been four years. The snow’s caused all sorts of problems. And just when it all melted away. More fell. But not a lot, luckily.
Here’s hoping it goes away!
I watched the movie Free Guy! It stares Ryan Reynolds as an NPC in an online shooter multiplayer sandbox game. Something like GTA 5 Online is what it reminds me of. He starts to go against his programming and gains the ability to be a player.
He causes a stir as he tries to woo a female player who is trying to get proof that the came uses her stolen code for the NPCs. There’s a server admin that thinks Free Guy is a hacker because he’s wearing an NPC skin and that goes against the rules. All while the greedy lead of the company is getting ready for Free City 2’s launch about to happen.
It’s an intriguing idea of an NPC’s AI becoming self-aware in a video game. It has some great ideas to it, some interesting philosophy. I enjoyed it but also thought the villain was too cartoonish. That’s the biggest knock to it. That and it had Pokemane in it and is a little too harsh on gamers. Though the guy who live streams the game and is psyched to be invaded by Free Guy was hilarious and annoying all at the same time.
I read Roll Over and Die 4. It’s a yuri fantasy series (that seems to have some indications that this is an Isekai of some sort). It’s about Flum who gets sold into slavery by her adventuring party because they think she’s useless. Turns out, she needs to wear cursed gear to be effective. She and another slave name Milkit escape.
Flum just wants to protect Milkit and for them to survive, but they are no embroiled in the grand conspiracy of this world and its god Origin. Things get crazy in this one as the city is being attacked by strange creations and a man who calls himself Mother gives birth to an abomination.
It’s a mix of sugary yuriness and body horror in a fantasy setting. A strange but interesting series.
Been reading more of Seven Deadly Sins Manga. Got 5 and 6 down.
Must say, when Elizabeth having to spend much of the volume snuggled between the giant Diane’s big boobs was a delight.
The perviness of this series mixed with its action is a great combination. Looking forward to reading more of it!
I also started playing some Minecraft again. Not much, since I don’t have much free time, but 1.18 has such amazing terrain generation.
I started at the base of this snow-capped mountain. And when I climbed it, I found a ring of mountains around a little valley in the middle of them.
And those mountains have a massive dripstone cavern network that wounds between them.
It’s rather gorgeous. Far cry from my first Minecraft world back in Alpha. It was a snow world. Back then, 1 in 4 or 5 worlds would be frozen. Covered in snow, all the water frozen, snow always falling. It was quite beautiful, too.
My favorite iStripper show was Belkachu performed by Belka.
A pikachu cosplay that was quite hot and naughty. Belka is one of my favorite models, and seeing her do this cosplay was delicious!
