Utawarerumono Shiro announced:

The game features Karura, so it shares continuity with the other games.  I don't know how you could create a new exciting war in this world when all problems were already solved by the previous wars, but I'm sure they'll think of something.  The people behind this franchise are amazing after all.  The game is slated for release in the fall of 2025, but maybe that's only for Japan.

Aquaplus is also making a new visual novel called Jasmine, relying on the talents behind Air, Clannad and Planetarian.  That should be worth checking out.

As votes continue to trickle in the gap between the number of votes Kamala and Biden got is becoming more reasonable and believable.  I didn't know there were still this many millions of additional votes left to count.  Kamala is going to end up with at least 72 million votes, maybe more, which is only 10% less than Biden got.  That can be explained through non-fraudulent means like Kamala being a bad candidate or the Gaza war depressing Democrat turnout or whatever.  Of course the alternative explanation is the real votes Kamala received ended days ago and everything we're seeing from here on is pure vote fraud, ballots chunked into the count after the election is already over made up by the vote counters.  So long as we rely on mail-in ballots it will be impossible to determine the legitimacy of any vote.

Since the House still hasn't been determined, this many days after the election, and the Democrats would love to steal the House to shut down all of Trump's agenda, I wouldn't be surprised if turbo vote fraud is occurring right now.  If Republicans win the House, though, it's likely the election was fair.  (No, this isn't hypocritical.  It makes sense to win the House when you win the Presidency and the Senate, it makes no sense to win the Presidency with 312 electoral votes, pick up 4 senate seats, and be leading in the House on election day, only to lose it weeks later due to ballots of dubious origin).

I wanted the House to be secured by now.  The fact that it isn't is extremely disturbing.  What is with our democracy that we still can't finish an election after an entire week has passed?  The rest of the world never has these problems.  It's just us.

My work is also slowly progressing -- I upgraded 'Wrong World' to 3-star, which let it qualify for being Nina's song in the '100 Waifus' playlist, the only song that can really represent her.  I also promoted 'Captured Phantom' (which I'd only demoted a couple weeks ago) back to 4-star, as well as Yuriha to 4-star.  Now all the songs that deserved to be 4-star have found a spot in my 4-star tier.  I'm finally content with my rankings when it comes to tiers 1-4.  I only wish I could fit more deserving songs into my 5-star tier.

I've listened to my new 21 songs 100 times.  It wasn't for nothing -- by listening to them the required amount of times I was able to rate them more accurately.  For instance 'Sailing Ship' went down to 2-star and Mugen up to 3-star.  It also proved that they were all legitimately good songs that are possible to listen to 100 times without getting sick of.  Now all these songs can officially join my music hall of fame as co-equal members.

Now I have the much simpler task of just getting the volume, start time and end time of my songs right again, and my music maintenance will be complete.

The Red Wheel book has a lot of pages and very small font, but I'm making steady progress.  I should finish it before this stupid election is finished.

I dropped Sayonara Ryuusei due to it lacking any originality.  With nothing of interest to say I don't see why I should keep listening.  It was a big mistake to sideline the cute redhaired loli, I was expecting her to be a major character and instead she basically vanished.  On the bright side Hamidashi Creative is being subtitled again so the total number of shows to watch hasn't changed.
