So, a couple of years ago, in a post about survival games I mentioned Raw Danger (Zettai Zetsumei Toshi 2, henceforth ZZT2)
It is one of my favourite survival games, ever!
Perhaps not the most realistic one (has it’s moments), but it has something your average modern survival game doesn’t have: familiarity (and in great degree possibility; the scenario in the game is not overly far-fetched).

I’ve ranted about the manga (final rant about it will come as soon as it ends, almost there), now I’ll rant about the film.
As usual my rant is just a bunch of disjointed points and opinions.
This was actually what I originally was going to write about in the youtube guilty pleasures post, before I veered into a different direction and decided to split it into a two parts post.
This post will be considerably shorter than the part 1.

As the title says.
We all have guilty pleasures, in this post I’ll reveal a couple of my youtube guilty pleasures.
Not that anyone cares, but part of the fun is to share, who knows if someone will end up liking the same stuff.
And I felt like writing a bit. (as the tags indicate)

So last post (Software nostalgia; towards the end), I talked about Freebar that is written in VB6 (which is long dead), VB6 not installing on Windows 7 so I couldn’t open the Freebar project and the free alternative to VB6 being dead, so I couldn’t try to remake Freebar using the old code base.

First:
I’m a bit late, but Merry Christmas and Happy new year. (he says, almost in February)
Now…
You want to know what piece of software I suddenly feel nostalgic for?
No?
What do I care.
The Office shortcut bar.

So, I needed a new mouse since the scroll wheel died on my 6€ made in China, 50% off special (so it was 3€); to be honest the wheel died long ago, it’s just that I’m in the mood to play with 3D modelling again and having no scroll wheel is shitty.
Anyway…

Since today I had an unusual amount of patience to play with, I decided to fix some quirks the site had (mostly related to the theme)
1- in the left menu it would be hard to sometimes click because the font changed to something slightly smaller on hover. It was changing to italic and bold (which doesn’t quite work), removed italic and kept bold.
2- on the archives the more tag was getting parsed by my smilie plugin due to the “…” and a “)”. Removed that smilie as I didn’t use it.
3- talking about smilies, today (I rarely read stuff months after I write it) I noticed they were being strangely resized to extra tiny (16px x 16px) and I had no inkling of an idea why, turns out it was due to wordpress’ emoji support code that was resizing all emojis and smilies to 1em.
4- some broken links fixed. There might be still some around, I’ll fix them if/when I find them.
This is just a little rant about text editors/word processors.
Which is kinda strange as most of my writing/note taking is done with pen and paper, but as of late I’ve been doing pen and paper in parallel with digital. (took me long enough; honestly I simply dislike the idea, that’s why I haven’t adopted it for the last 17 years)
But much like with stationery, I have a bit of a thing for text editors and word processors.
So, let’s start this useless rant.
(950 words of nothing incoming)
Again, an aimless rant.
In my opinion, a solid 8/10.
Have to give them (a lot of) credit for being able to milk an entire season with nearly no semblance of a overarching plot. Looking forward to season 2.
And it still was fun. Despite being the weirdest fan service anime ever that doesn’t feel like one.
