(no subject)
Friday, January 11th, 2013 05:52 pmThat "post the month's best Twitter links to DW/LJ" experiment back in 2011 was clearly a failure, but maybe I can make short link posts more often?
And on the subject of DS adventure games, I finally started the fourth Professor Layton game. The localization is often hilarious - in a way that makes me think the translators were having a lot of fun - but beneath that and the Scooby-Doo-esque elements of the plot it seems surprisingly dark at times. (Or maybe I'm just inclined to view the Layton games this way after the third one and given my thoughts on academia.) Anyway, so far I'm liking Emmy (though the game could still ruin this), and the puzzles seem on the whole better integrated with the story/exploration parts of the game than they have in the past.
(Maybe this will be the year I finally increase my posting frequency? It is ridiculous how much I overthink what I say here, since by now more people read what I post on basically any other site.)

tim's is raising money for electrolysis (in part needed for safety reasons). I seem to recall that some of you might have an interest in helping out a trans person in need? - If you want to engage in some over-the-top, police-mocking criminal antics, this is how you should do it. Seriously, this is one hero/sidekick pair away from being a DS adventure game. There was even a cat!
- Speaking of cats, here is a livestream of some amazing kittens.
- Wednesday's Dinosaur Comic was pretty great.
