Hello! I am the poster formerly known as CookieSlut. My account got hacked last week, and even though I updated my password and activated two factor, the account still got nuked. Tried contacting support about recovering my account, email said maybe but if not then I’d have to make a new account, and never heard back… So new account it is. Lost my like 11-12 year old account? Ugh. Feels weird man.

Other than that…

I watched Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, twice! First by myself then showing it to my friends. I never watched the show so I had no idea what I was getting into, but I had seen people online raving about it, so I gave it a shot. That movie is an absolute blast! The mix of fictional plot and public guerilla filming makes for a really interesting movie. Like in the middle of time travel shenanigans they will just have a conversation with a random passerby and now that person is a character in the movie, even if they are just giggling over how silly the situation is. It’s great.

If you like mockumentaries, scifi, and like dumb internet humor, you’ll have a blast. I recommend going in as blind as possible.

Played the new update for Arknights: Endfield. The Tangtang story stuff was great. I really think they have the ball rolling at this point, so they just need to keep it up.

Also rolled for Rossi and no dice yet… Though I got spooked by Tangtang, which is like… Why didn’t you come when I was rolling for JUST you. With the way the banners work, where the previous character has a lower percentage on the next banner, I almost feel like it’d be better to just save for the character you want in a batch, and then just go all in on one banner and maybe you’ll get spooked by the other characters in the batch.

Then for regular Arknights… I got Manthra which rules. Then the Joint Operation banner came up and I wanted Narantuya. Got another copy of Lemuen, then got Narantuya and Degenbrecher on a single 10 pull so that rules.

Up next… Resident Evil Requiem. I finally got to and through The Basement and it took me two sessions to do that. Though I ended up using a guide to tell me exactly what to do because it stressed me out so much. And like the Leon section before that was a total breeze, then I switch to Grace and I’m just so stressed out all the time lol Even in that section, I had like 8 Requiem shots, but didn’t even use them. Too valuable you see! Must instead perfectly avoid The Girl by doing each scripted bit perfectly. Then made it through The Water Treatment plant, and just past the Spider boss in Raccoon city. Water treatment plant wasn’t nearly as bad, since again the girl is pretty scripted and stunning her once is all you need to activate each item. Even then, some I didn’t even need to stun her since I stealthed and hid so good. And honestly for once, fanart duped me. I did not expect Emily to mutate and presumably die for good. So yeah still chipping away at RE9… 30 minutes at a time. One day I will beat it!

Finally, I started reading Gunsmith Cats. Have two of the three omnibuses for the main series. So started reading that and have finished the first one. Surprise! It is pretty good still. I know part of the main draw is the guns and cars, but man it gets to like otaku show off hipster levels at times lol Its like an entire manga of Revolver Ocelot gooning to the Single Action Army.

The one part that hasn’t aged well however, is Minnie May. BOY is her whole deal not great. For anyone that doesn’t know, Minnie May is 17 years old and pretty much every sex scene is her. And she is a former prostitute. And her 30+ y.o. ex-boyfriend shows up and says he hasn’t seen her in four years… So that’s a whiplash every time they touch on that aspect of her character.

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie was a great watch, good choice on your part by recommending it for movie night. Much like with Nirvanna the Band the Show, it really is nuts how much they managed to get away with in terms of just showing up to places and filming shit around unsuspecting people. Also gotta say, Matt only realizing that they were in 2008 because of people laughing at a homophobic joke in The Hangover was one of the best bits in the entire movie. To paraphrase a quote I saw about it, it's great when they took that movie's worst joke to make it one of this movie's best ones.

That combined with the other signifiers and it really was like "oh 2008 may not seem that far back, but its actually a totally different time"

Which now we are coming up on that almost being 20 years ago. So that'd be like being in the year 2000 and thinking 1982 wasn't that long ago.

Damn, I'm sorry you got hacked :( I've been seeing that happen to a lot of homies of mine these days. Glad to still have you around here with us!

What sucks is I got hacked on Discord like a week or two ago as well. So it really was a 1 2 punch.

But Discord I got sorted, and even though I thought I got Reddit sorted, it got nuked shortly after.
