Slime-Killing Witch 2, episode 6

Fight week times two. A bit shoutier than usual.

Bumpkin & Harem, episode 6

Also fight week. This show has basically revealed itself as a jailbait-and-switch, with Our Affectionate And Servicing Former Students never hitting on Our Middle-Aged Rural Swordsman at all, and him never even thinking about it. And now Our Magical Blue-Haired Former Thief has moved into a clear daughter role.

Verdict: not that there’s anything wrong with that; S-Rank Daughter succeeded at supplying a collection of cute girls while keeping them out of Daddy’s pants, so maybe this one can, too. But they did kind of lead us on…

A-Rank Adventure Harem, episode 17

Despite the six minutes of post-adventure exposition and the travel montage, this episode pretty much wrapped up everything, including shifting Our Little Blonde Titty-Witch into full tsundere mode, and it even kept the character art fairly consistent.

Verdict: I think this is a good place to stop for me. Big adventure is over, Yuke’s got a house full of gals who love him, and there isn’t an Asshole Party in sight.

(fan-art is still mostly just poorly-posed CG or bad pr0n, so an actual drawing of Jamie was a surprise)

Deep Thoughts, For Stupid People

Last night I watched Lucy, Luc Besson’s cinematic drinking game. That is, if you take one shot every time someone states something absolutely ludicrous as fact, you’ll be dead in the first fifteen minutes. With bonus animal husbandry.

Why did I watch it? It was free, I was bored, and the highly deceptive trailer was vaguely interesting.

Why did I keep watching it all the way to the end? For the same reason I watched Kill Bill 1: I kept wondering if it would stop getting worse. And it never did.

Anti-Semantic Versioning

There’s a reason I froze the version of Hugo I use to build this site: constant breaking changes. Yes, version 0.146.0 completely changes the templating system, forcing you to move all your layout files around. No, this wasn’t clearly documented until after 0.147.2 came out.

I gave up after trying to go from 0.119.0 to 0.120.0 left me with ~30,000 lines of diff output again. I have seen nothing in the changelogs since September 2023 that would make me want to take on that mess again.
