I'm cancelling my Game Pass subscription because even though it provides infinite video games and costs like, a handful of snacks per month, I have just like, infinite video games to play already (not to mention all the non-playing-games compulsions I have!), and I really can't derive benefit from double infinity, especially when I have no innate compulsion to play the median Game Pass title.

there are so many Games right now! I'm really glad.

I figure I'll resub to Game Pass like, twice a year, in two non-consecutive months, and just use those months to play the everlasting hell out of all the games I missed. seems more efficient

in honor of Game Pass's goodness though, I went and wrote up a list of everything I tried on it that I thought was cool. many of these are available on sale frequently or readily elsewhere, so it's not like it's strictly Game Pass or nothing, but I appreciated having no barrier to entry for things like, say, Katana Zero

net-juu no susume purports itself to be a MMO-flavored shoujo love story about two working-age gamers whose online and real lives have tangled around each other even more times than they realize, and the heart-pounding dual will-they-won't-theys of their relationship and their secrets

i like netjuu. in my opinion, it is actually about the following things (10 bullet points follow)

tweet syndication. busy week but I've started going to the local cafe chain and getting an extremely normal sandwich (ham, ham, sausage, bologna, cheese, greens, sauce, lightly toasted) and it's reasonably satisfying. feels less unhinged than the 7 Pizza Burrito Experience

• found some code I wrote a month ago thanks to me leaving a comment next to it that read "// canon: welcome to the code"

• it's not that I am bad at completing / processing works of fiction, I just speedrun finding an indulgent headcanon I can springboard off the original, and then wander off into it forgetfully. in this essay I will be explaining why there should be more masc momiji onimai art

• I don't think I could play Dark Souls because I keep looking at "Undead Parish" and saying "well, they do... but also they don't... y'know? heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh" to myself

• earlier in the week I thought about "ranking of grancypher crewmates by how Normal they are" but I think a new contender is "ranking of grancypher crewmates by how many other people's names they remember"

this machine? it dispenses the pachinko balls. compared to it, architecture is nothing

(I was really expecting like a weird superstore or love hotel though. anyway the pasta next to it has a dish named "the best meat sauce in japan". I tried it and it's not bad but it's not my favorite meat sauce in japan)
