I usually forward date these posts by a day, but I'm actually writing and uploading this on Halloween in the afternoon. Happy Halloween! I hope you get a nice treat. My treat has been my new Linux set up, which I have been loving. Now you can read all about it with the power of yapping. If you're a Bluesky follower of mine, you probably noticed I wouldn't stop talking about Linux (Mint, specifically). I'm getting ready to upload this with the Neocities CLI, which I've only done one other time. It feels nice and fast on Linux, though it can be done without much hassle on Windows to my recollection.
I'm thinking about getting back into Gunpla. I've also got some interesting Uma Musume doujin books coming sometime in the next month. Hehe, I've been splurging quite a bit lately. I haven't built a Gundam model in 10 years, so I'm not sure about all the improvements and innovations that have been made. Maybe I'll write about that and some fun memories?
You might notice the gray color on the site is darker. I've been meaning to adjust it for a while, because I run my monitors pretty dark, I see it differently. Everything seems bright when I view the site on other device. Hopefully it looks a little more like how I intend.

I've been quite hard at work on so many things lately! First off, I have a fresh new article of decent meaning. Jane Parker Vs Mobile Games is here, where I talk about my experience getting into Uma Musume! It was kind of rough, but here I am.
Second, I do have a new YouTube video with the much improved camera. This one is getting close to 300 views, which I find to be very awesome. The new camera is working great, the footage is so, so much better looking. Phew!
Lastly, you're probably aware that Microshit is officially discontinuing support for Windows 10. Yesterday morning, I actually went ahead and tried out Linux Mint on my machine, and so far I've loved it. I might be turning into one of those Linux girls. I'll keep you all updated on that, but this could be the last update done from Windows! I have no particular desire to stay on it, and haven't thought of anything I MUST have it for. But, perhaps some time and more testing will reveal issues. I want to thank my friend Aubrey for encouraging the idea of trying out Linux.

Hey guys! I managed to get one more post out before October. Barely. With the exciting announcement of the Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection, I thought I'd offer some brief thoughts and opinions before that game comes out next year. I really like them, so I'll definitely be picking it up.
I recently got a new cell phone after many years. It's great to have modern features like not freezing all the fucking time and being able to accept calls. Because of that, I've taken the opportunity to try out some mobile games and, ough. That will probably be the subject of our next game focused post.
My neck hurts, so that's all furr right now!

Patamon digivolve to...ANGEMON!
That's right, everyone. playingps2.xyz aka Emotion Engine, is celebrating two years online! It's hard to believe...I remember nervously setting up all this stuff for the first time so I could rant about Amazing Spider-Man. I vividly recall my cat, Mimi, wanting to help with the early stages. She was quite young back then!
I'm practically falling asleep as I write this, but I can't thank you all enough. For reading an article or two, taking a look through the magazine, or just taking a general interest in me. Thank you, thank you so much.

'sup? Boy, do I have a lot to share with you all. I recently inherited a large magazine collection from my friend Mike Moon! You can actually see us open it up on YouTube! I have some other videos planned where we look at some of these (and other comics) together, even though my recording set up is pretty weak. I'll be working on things as best I can with my budget! 💦 I feel like I'm doing a lot lately...
Secondly, I do have a new written article as well! Welcome to Jane's Classic Literature corner! Yes, I do read some text books sometimes, though you'll see here there's a bit of a pulp-action bias in my selection.
I am happy to receive some reports of Starwalker being found, which is totally great! I could have made it 1/1000, if I wanted...muahaha.
This website is turning two years old in two weeks. I haven't quite decided how to celebrate, but there will be a digivolution. It's a big milestone, to me...many things have happened and developed in my life because I started it. I mean, would I have ever done my super cool zine?

Hi everybody! I don't have a new article for you today. Sorry. I've been juggling topics and couldn't decide, hehe. But I do have something new and fun for you. If you're browsing the site on desktop, YOU HAVE A 1/100 CHANCE OF SEEING THE ORIGINAL STARWALKER Can you find him? I haven't even played Deltarune yet. I'm just obsessed with the funny star. I love him very much.
By the way, we're up to 3GB of bandwidth use for the month! That's awesome. I have a ton on my mind, but I'm ready to go see my best friends offline and relax! Have a great weekend!

Writing for the site again feels so relaxing after all the magazine development! On that note, THANK YOU ALL FOR USING 2.22 GB OF BANDWIDTH! This is a huge accomplishment for me. I have never received a bandwidth notice before from Neocities. Assuming most of that is magazine downloads, that's about 200, which is amazing! I can't thank you all enough. Seriously!
The big hubub for me over the past week has been UFO 50! So you can read some of my thoughts about it now that it's out on Nintendo Switch. I'm gonna go play it more right after I upload this, most likely!
I'd like to write about it soon (or maybe not, if there are really six episodes left) but the NEW! Panty and Stocking episodes are amazing. I was really scared because I love the original so much, but they cooked, they did it! Panty and Stocking are back and nothing could make me happier.

Yabba dabba doo! I missed you all so bad! I almost forgot how to use VSCode because I was so busy working on... the new magazine edition of the site! Yeah! This is my secret project! A zine! Well, I think the word magazine tickles my brain, so I've been using that and 'mag' for short. This has been my enormously fun and exciting passion project for the past month, and I'm so excited to finally let it out! It's ~free~, so everyone wins today! If you check it out, I hope you like it, even just a "that's cool" works for me!
I saw the new Superman movie in this little interim. I would give it three out of five stars (that's not bad!) would you perhaps enjoy a review of it? I've been considering it, but I don't wanna get quote tweeted over a movie...heheh. Actually, now it sounds funny.
I'll be hopefully checking out some of the new King of the Hill over the weekend. I have strong feelings about the potential for this, but the previews have kind of been disappointing...we'll see! I can't wait to see older Bobby!

Hey folks! Did you like the murder mom article? I know I did! Thanks again to Lillie for working so diligently. She basically wrote it in a feral, lesbian frenzy, which is the kind of work ethic I can approve of!
I'll be honest, I don't have a new article ready for you all just yet. But, I am working on an ultra-special project that IS related to the website! It's been taking up my writing time, but I'm extremely excited about it and can't wait to share more with you all as soon as I can.
I might turn it into a full article later, but since I saw you last I got Under Night In Birth 2, or "2NI" as my friend calls it. This is my new favorite fighting game, it's really that good. You've heard that before I'm sure if you're a fighting gamer, but take it from me too! It's not as much trouble to get matches as you might've heard. I'm playing Merkava right now, but everyone is cool in this game and you can pick up the basics very quickly thanks to the great training modes.

This was supposed to be the summer of Superman! It's so farking hot! Who wants to go outside like this?
Listen up everyone, our next guest article is here! Murder Mom Has Got It Going On by a good friend of mine, Lillie! I reached out to her to MAKE this piece. When better to reach out to someone to collab than when they've lost their mind? Anyway, she did a great job, so I'm hoping this one will bang on Bluesky.
I've been reading through the Animerica (and other) magazines. Anime used to be such a small hobby by comparison! Of course, that's the impression you get when you're laying back and reading mags from the past. It seems all idyllic and simple. Still, I think it would be fair to say people didn't have the same immediate access to things in, say, 1993 like they do in 2025. It's been a lot of fun, and I've got a ton more to look over!

I was so scared that I wouldn't get another update in before June was up! Eeek! Thankfully I've got something super cool, my write-up for my visit to HeroesCon! I got some really special stuff and met someone extremely cool (to me), so go ahead and click to find out who!
I think I've never mentioned it here, but the latest episode of The Amazing Digital Circus finally dropped after, what, a six month wait? But you know what, it was worth it. My friends and I had a little watch party together with pizza, and, just like HeroesCon, it was one of the best things I've done recently. It was so much fun! We all howled laughing at some of the best jokes and scenes...I think I'll buy myself a plushie of Jax sooner or later.

How's it going? I'm very pleased to present our latest guest article, about Sukeban Deka! I think you'll like it.
Coincidentally, it's the day before my birthday. I'm about to be 30 years old. I'm mostly neutral about it, but it seems like that's the new hot age. I'm also not a big birthday celebrator (when it comes to myself, at least,) but I will say I'm happy that this is my first birthday as a lovely young lady. When I was finalizing my decision to transition, I had a feeling that I didn't want to celebrate my 30th as a guy. So, congratulations to me!
I started buying some floppy comic books again...I'm sure I'll regret it later, but I got a lot of interesting, inexpensive items, so I'm pleased for now. I kind of want to talk about them in something like a YouTube video, but I'm not quite equipped with the gear and setup. Still, I'm now a proud owner of two copies of the Ninja High School STD special. Good for me!
