Strange, how the best moments of our lives we scarcely notice except in looking back.

Regardant en arrière, je vois beaucoup de mes actions d’autrefois comme des folies, mais ces folies étaient saintes. Elles étaient dictées par des sentiments purs et droits. Elles venaient de ce qu’il y avait en nous de plus fort et de plus vrai. Elles nous ont fait plus grands que nous n’étions.

This is inspired by something back in my elementary days. I had a classmate who is very sociable but at the same time, quite the manipulator and the type to extract your secrets and reveal them for the whole class to know. But there's an unforgettable memory i have of her back then. I was staring to nowhere and she showed a piece of candy-coated chocolate (no, not MnM) right in front of my face and gave it to me. I asked her what was it for and she said that she's handing some to those who look sad. I was a bit baffled because i wasn't really sad, maybe just plain bored. It's kinda funny but it was one of the rare moments when i think she's being genuinely nice.

＃2023年の振り返り あっという間に一年が過ぎていきます。特に今年は早い気がします。 今年の思い出深い山行は、大佐飛山、男鹿岳、錫ヶ岳かな？ 私の2023年の主な山のトピックは、栃木百名山の完登です！ 幻の花ベニバナヤマシャクヤクにも会えましたし、 大好きな那須岳で転んで怪我をしたこともありました。 何はともあれ、山に登らせていただける事、全てに感謝します。 また来年もまずは健康で、いろんなお山に登りたいものです。 2024年はどんな山岳景観に会えるのでしょうか？

The year has gone by really fast, I am so glad to have met beautiful mountains, and appreciate for everything's support for me. Thank you 2023. Here's to an even better 2024!!!

1月：スッカン沢 見事な氷瀑に会えました

3月：大佐飛山　今年はついに雪の回廊に辿り着きました

4月：男鹿岳　道なき藪を超えて山頂へ98座目

5月：尾瀬、今年は雪が少なかったけど、美しい光景に会えました

We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and - in spite of True Romance magazines - we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely - at least, not all the time - but essentially, and finally, alone.

Can I just say that from the first moment I saw Zak speaking in an interview I don't feel quite comfortable? Like I don't get a positive vibe from him, and people commented that he could be a good voice actor for a villian. And now people seem to be comparing him to Mark Jeffers*n cuz of his alleged harassment to young women 😠 The fact that he had directed a game in which Rachel lives in and described her as someone who isn't necessarily good (basically shading her), and the fact that this is quoted by a Rachel dismisser/hater who called her toxic in a YouTube comment while I was as usual defending her, makes me sick. Congregation of the people on the darker side. Imagine it was his call to add the part in which Rachel drugs Victoria in return, which didn't sit right with me at all, gosh.

Not only Nazi symbols, hidden flags/symbols that are validly sensitive to China (Chinese lis fans are not a lot but contain some of the nicest fans I have seen, well at least no big Rachel Amber hater, a good sign) were also added to True Colours, causing Chinese players to cancel and reject this game. And they weren't spotted by other developers because like me, they didn't know what these symbols meant, unlike the Nazi ones. Initially I was giving decknine the benefit of the doubt, but now...

Not to say it's entirely d9's fault. It's the one/few people responsible.

Also what the actual is with Square Enix not wanting LiS to be a gay game? it's a wonderful LGBTQ representation.
