Does anyone have any resources on cultural-historical periods outside Europe? I know plenty about renaissance and baroque and stuff. Where do I go to learn the big lines of arabic culture? Sub-saharan african culture? South asian culture?

30 day VGM thing, day siiiiixxxxx (getting this out the way early today) 

Music with a relaxing vibe - El Huervo - Daisuke, from Hotline Miami 1. Something about this wonderfully chilled, lo-fi track reminds me of sitting in a quiet laundromat in Tokyo, doing some loads of laundry. The only thing missing from that time was it not being late at night as well because this song fits that so well too? youtube.com/watch?v=go6po2Za_1

30 day VGM thing, oh shit it's day 5 :O 

Hub/Overworld music - Val Harbour is kinda the main hub of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate? You spend like, 90% of the story there in any case, with small trips to the other couple of areas, but mostly you'll be in Val Harbour instead. I love this track even now, and MH4U was my first Monster Hunter game. I played the hell outta it. Though MHW has spoiled me now. I can't go back to that old armour system ^^; youtube.com/watch?v=NYg_38oZP9

Just learned that George Floyd was a part of the legendary group Screwed Up Click back in the 90s. Billboard’s got a good summary of his career and links to several of his songs. billboard.com/articles/columns

While we protest his horrific death at the hands of police brutality, I also want to learn about his life and celebrate it. Black lives matter, and his black life matters.

Selfie, eye contact 

Thank you to everyone out there marching, everyone donating to the bail funds, everyone getting accurate information and relaying it to people who need it out there.

You can stop here and take a short rest before continuing your fight.

Some people feel like the world is ending but that couldn't be further from the truth.

For once it seems like it might be able to begin.

Game bundle in support of Black Lives Matter 

I'm in it. All the money goes to BLM and the National Bail Fund Network.

Pass it on.

Arknights related wonderings, violence mention 

Also Sora seems to know full well what PL get up to, and how much chaos they end up being wrapped up in, and is like "...eh, it's life" and still happily takes part because they're doing the right thing and also she loves Texas and wants to support her doing the right thing too?

Hm, Sora doesn't seem to have any VA lines referencing Lappland either. Wonder if there's any details I'm missing out on so far?

Oh wait I forgot about Sora! Sora is clearly VERY close to Texas, and vice versa. so maybe like... Sora and Texas are in a relationship? Texas left the mob for her own reasons but joined Penguin Logistics, despite the fact she seems to be the only level headed one there with the rest being kinda trigger-happy hotheads (except Sora of course), she sticks around. Exusiai and Sora mellow her out, Sora and her hook up?

I think that basically... Texas and Lappland used to be in the employ or part of the Siracusian mob, Texas noped the fuck out because "fuck this shit" i guess. Either way she seems to want to help people rather than kill people, as much as possible.

Lappland on the other hand seems to get off on it I guess. She's creepy D: But has joined RI as well?

Exusiai doesn't seem to have any voice lines re: Lappland tho.

so Texas and Exusiai are clearly an item. i mean... probably. fuck it it's like touhou, all are lesbiabs.

But either way, yeah very much Girlfriends vibes for them two. Texas and Lappland have... prior history. I get a Spike Spiegel and Vicious vibe from the pair of them (with Lappland clearly being Vicious), since they're both clearly ex-Siracusian mob. Lappland talks about bringing back "the old Texas".

Texas clearly dislikes Lappland too. so... I think ...

fuuuckl why is the wifi such bullshit right now c'mon.

A household top tip from your friends at Elekk:

When you've hung or are disposing of flypaper, don't wreck your hands trying to wash off the glue. Flypaper glue is oil-soluble; rub a half-teaspoon of vegetable oil onto your fingers and the glue will come right off. Then wash your hands.
