  • outside is pretty shitty these days too and might as well be a subscription service

    Fair enough. I’m pushing 50 and have a solid addiction to the endorphins that come from both running and skating just about every day. Not that I wouldn’t like to share, but so it goes in this modern world. Keep fighting the odds and I will as well.


  • Over the decades I have read a fair bit of manga and have slotted myself into mostly post-apocalyptic stories. Coming back from a long hiatus I finished Tsugumi Project over the weekend. The art is fantastic and the story starts middling but grows stronger as we get to know the principal characters. Unfortunately, the last third has the feel of being extremely rushed and moves into tropes I was hoping to step away from with a more mature and recent post-apocalyptic tale.

    Please feel free to drop stronger recommendations, I fear I’ve simply grown weary of the goofy antics that seem to appear in even the more “adult” focused manga.


  • Firstly, I feel what you are saying about social media writ large OP. That said, I’m not sure why we should believe MySpace 2.0 won’t be more of the same as the walls of market forces and enshittification rise around it. There is some reasonable hope that it will start well but for my part I am not interested in investing my time in riding another slippery slope and would rather just go outside and keep working on the good habits.
