Well, assuming we're talking about the trappings of a typical JRPG and not literally having a Japanese studio make it...

I'd be the almost totally worthless class that might get some overpowered Ironchew equipment in the endgame.
Consumption is not a politically combative act — refraining from consumption even less so.

I might have a job on paper, but in practice in just a munchkin.

I sit and think of faded people.

The people I once created with and laughed with and shared with and belonged with. The people I once called “friend”, or at least people I knew and recognized.

When we knew, it was as if we’d be together forever. But now you’re only names on a contacts list. You’re still alive, and you never hurt me and I never hurt you. But here we are, separate, as if on the sides of an invisible mist. I think, if it had been dramatic, if we’d departed in hate, it would hurt less for me to think of you.

The only thing in common with all those bonds that faded like blood into water is me. Is it me who’s to blame? Well, I’m an awkward person. I don’t blame you for not staying in contact. Do you blame me for it? Do you still think of me? Have I left any impression on you? I’d like to think that you still think of me, but at the same time, I wish you’ve forgotten me too. I don’t know.

I could talk to you again. It’s something I could do, nothing’s stopping me. But I wouldn’t know what to say, and I’m not brave enough to try to return to that old place or try to make a new one. I’m so scared of things falling into awkward silence or forced attempts again. Maybe it’s better this way. You can go on.

Maybe it was always meant to be this way anyway.

Maybe the people I belong with now will end up like that, too. I’m scared, I don’t want them to. I don’t want to. But it’s out of my control whether it does or not, isn’t it? The march of time scares me so much.

Well, I won’t let it stop me. As long as it lasts, I’ll be with them no matter how it ends. I’ll try my best to retain them.

Anyway…

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iVzxMjldiY" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iVzxMjldiY</a>

Here’s to all the faded people. Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, I hope that you’re well.

And that, sometimes, maybe, you’ll think fondly of me.

(Yes, I am aware of the irony of posting this somewhere where said people won't see it.)

I was driving home from work today, early because it's Christmas Eve. I heard a news story about a half dozen or so people killed by a Mississippi tornado sparked by the unusually hot weather. My first thought was "so are you dumb rednecks gonna deny climate change now that you're dying for it?"

My second thought was to be absolutely disgusted with myself for my first thought.

it should've been "of course not".

Those who stand to profit from global warming denial don't live in that area. I doubt they care.

I'm trying to decide the most badass word I know, because I have nothing better to occupy my mind at work. It's a toss up between talvisota and zerstörer aT the moment but I can't decide which.

And no, there are no English words that can match either of those two.

Oh come now. Is that really the way to greet someone you haven't seen since last year?

So on New Year's night, me and a couple of friends watched Another Gay Movie. Well, like the first half-hour of it, anyway, they were too weak of heart to endure it to the end. During the first five minutes, one of them wanted to strangle the one who'd given it to him. Fun times.

I'd forgotten how bad that movie was.
