The Attic

I noticed a weird discrepancy between LNs and their illustrations that seems to crop up a lot.

I first noticed it in (cokesakto's) translation of KnK. Art: Red jacket. Description: Black jacket.
This wasn't consistent, so I chalked it up to translator error.

Then I saw the same thing in Boogiepop. Art: Purple cloak. Description: Black cloak.

I've seen this happen a few other times, too. So is this just translation problems? Artists taking creative liberties? ...

When you feel safe, BOOM!
And as the dust fades, you think:
“Welp, that's the last one.”

I haven't really played Actress Again since Type Lumina came out. So I decided to try my hand at it again.
Turns out, MBTL is great training for its predecessor: I can officially beaten Archetype Earth crescent and full (against the computer, which is mor competent than TL's).
In retrospect, MBAACC is a better game, mostly. Those auto-combo thingies were aggravating from the start, since they are super easy to accidentally trigger when playing (and they inadvertently nerf Kohaku), but ...

I have been waiting to find useful vocabulary resources before diving in headfirst. But it's become clear that I'm just procrastinating.

The plan is to finish with katakana, basic grammar, and radicals. Then proceed with brute-force reading until I remember the rest. This should make it a little bit less boring than just grinding anki ...

Well the title pretty much says it.

The screen started having a strange glitch effect (like the lame video filters) and now won't turn on. The only cause I can think of is the memory card, because when I pressed on the panel on the bottom the flickering changed intensity, but the screen remained frozen. I'm not much of an expert on the hardware side of things.

Sucks because my gifts were mostly for pc. And I still haven't finished Fate.
