lain is here

Opened VNDB again after months, and I saw a screenshot of Digital Seclusion on the frontpage!
Since starting my office job I haven't touched VNs due to me not wanting to spend most of my days on the PC, but as I've promised you to read it years ago now, I'll make sure I do so this year!
I hope you've been doing well, my friend.

It's probably no surprise to hear that when I was a teenager I lowkey thought Gordan Gekko was the coolest motherfucker in the movie. But I have to say as I get older I really appreciate Bud's dad played by Martin Sheen more and more. His response to his son's condescending outburst with, "What you see is man who never measured a man's success by the size of his WALLET!" will always be iconic to me, as much as Gordan's "Greed is good" speech. In this scene it's the nonverbal acting on Martin Sheen's part that I think really makes it work

Just a reminder Amaribros, this is how the Japanese actually see us:

Orson Welles shitting on Quentin Tarantino (or maybe actually not):

I can't believe I remember when this video first came out. It still firmly stands in my top 5 favorite videos ever released on YouTube

EDIT: Make that top 3

Why does buying a Windows Laptop in 2024 have to be so complicated? It's like the more I look into things the more flaws I find with the available models out. Any one got recommendations? I want a laptop that can video edit smoothly and that's relatively portable (no 18 inch giants). Also I would like it's build quality to be decent. My XPS 13 has lasted me well for 7 years and I want at least 5 years out of this one. My sister had an MSI gaming laptop in the past but the hinges broke after a year because despite being a powerful machine the build quality sucked. Currently I'm considering the Lenovo Legion 7i and the asus rog zephyrus g14 for their specs, but idk how their build quality is like

Btw this was 100% me in High School:

Idk if anyone else on here watched him, but DBDR's channel and side channel got nuked. Really concerned for the guy

>Flying back to the States to visit family for the first time in 4 years very soon (this Sat)
>Currently downloading tens of hours of comfy spooky greentext tts vids along with classic horror audiobooks
>Stuffing my phone with additional GBC and GBA roms as well
>Shelled out an extra $150 bucks for extra leg room and "free" liquor

It's gunna be a comfy flight lads

It's so bizarre rewatching Azumanga Daioh after all these years. The transition from relating to the HS students as I did when I was younger to relating to the teachers most is almost unsettling. Also I really want to have a drink with Yukari

>Tfw when one of Disillusion's most viewed videos is an almost 3 hour one entirely in Russian:

@RIG Did you know this?

I find writing to be a lot like communicating with somebody in binary. "Is this the right word? No. How about this one? No. Ehh, this one? No."

Try that 15 times sprinkled with five YouTube breaks and finally I can feel a bit of relief when I get the long anticipated "Yes." Only to have to repeat the same exact process for the next sentence.

And let's not even touch on the renegotiating process when I get to editing. Certainly the echoes of Don Delillo haunt me

>TFW you find yourself stranded at Kisaragi Station

Only 1 more day lads!

I swear it's impossible to watch the movie Chungking Express and not have California Dreamin get stuck in your head. At this point I don't even hear the lyrics when I listen to it, I just see a montage of scenes while hearing muffled Cantonese in the background

He's right you know

So, it looks like I've been on here for 2 years now. Crazy. It's been a blast and I still love this place, even if it's kind of changed a bit from when I first signed up

Having played Digital Seclusion, I'm starting to think you and I are more alike than we think.
