Turns out one of my uni hockey friends has a long-standing history channel on YouTube, and of course he made a video about ice hockey history. I think I'd have liked it even if I didn't know the creator, enjoy:

It's challenge time!

Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.

Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished! Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!

Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.

Go!

So, 1000xResist

Dec. 24th, 2025 08:10 am

[personal profile] rydra_wong
I was too tired to have the focus for Dark Souls-ing in the last few days, so binge-played 1000xResist and now I feel like I'm been punched in the head.

Basically a walking simulator/visual novel, so don't go expecting complex gameplay, but HOLY FUCK.

For all of you looking for fiction with fucked-up complicated women who are somewhere on a spectrum from "morally grey" to "evil but sympathetic" (with the odd dip into "idealistic but destructive") having fucked-up dynamics with other fucked-up complicated women: 1000xResist has SO MANY of them. It has almost no characters who don't fit that archetype, in fact.

(I considered whether it passes the reverse-Bechdel test -- i.e. two male characters have a conversation that's not about a woman -- and I think it may juuust scrape past in a 5-second exchange in one of the flashbacks, but barely. There are very very few men in this story, for plot-related reasons.)



I found out afterwards that the development team were a devised theatre group who decided to start making a game when everything was shut down during the pandemic, and somehow this fully checks out (complimentary).

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1675830/1000xRESIST/ (you can even pick it up in a bundle with Slay The Princess for bonus visual novel headfuck)

Do note the content notes from the devs: Photosensitivity Warning: Flashing Lights, Cursing and Crude Language, Generational Trauma, Acts of Violence and Terrorism, Disease Outbreak, Mention of Suicide, Mention of Animal Cruelty/Pet Death, Blood, Body Horror, Emotional Abuse, Bullying, Dead Bodies, Vomit, Drowning, Fire, Gore, Needles, Racism and General Mature Content.

(I would also add a specific note for torture, and for fucked-up mother-daughter and sister-sister relationships, that being one of the core elements of the game, along with the aforementioned generational trauma.)

Daily Happiness

torachan: brandon flowers of the killers with the text "some beautiful boy to save you" (some beautiful boy to save you)
[personal profile] torachan
1. I got my hair cut this morning. My original appointment was for yesterday, but a meeting got scheduled that conflicted with it. Thankfully there was still enough time to change the appointment, but the only slot left was at 11:45am today, and I really prefer to get it done earlier in the morning so I can get on with my day. But it worked out okay. I didn't have anything time sensitive at work until two meetings later in the afternoon, which is good because the person ahead of me went over by half an hour. Not sure if the guy was late to his appointment or if his just took longer than anticipated. I could definitely see it being the latter because he had a long grey beard that he was getting died in a rainbow (this is a queer salon so the site of an older bald guy with a rainbow beard was not at all out of the ordinary, but it was a very cool choice on his part).

2. The rain started today but so far did not significantly interfere with my day. Rained lightly on the way to the salon, but had stopped by the time I got there (very good because I had to park around the block) and was still dry when I left and also when I arrived at work. Very light sprinkling when I left work, but not bad. And it was still dry when I got home, so we were able to take our evening walk. Tomorrow is supposed to be the worst of it, so I've decided not to go in to work tomorrow. I have nothing that really needs me to be there and the only reason I was planning to go in to begin with is because I also need to pick up my Christmas cake at the nearby bakery. So I do still have to drive down there, but I was able to move the pickup time to early in the morning and I'll just pop down and get it and hopefully not get too wet and then relax the rest of the day indoors.

3. We got an extension on the work project until mid February and I think we can meet that deadline. The company who is customizing the software for us said that is the hard deadline really for real this time to keep the go live date of spring 2027, and upper management really does not want to move that date, so fingers crossed. Based on where we are now, though, it does seem very doable.

4. Only a kitty would be comfy half hanging off the sofa lol.

I'll bring some red delicious fruit soup.

Some raw broccoli, just like meme told me to with their eyebrows from across the store.

I can't believe nobody is bringing spider bread. Do holiday traditions mean nothing to you people?!

WESLEY Angel does have a point. Spike has been unintentionally disapparating more and more frequently.
GUNN Give him 20 minutes. He'll be popping up next to you in the bathroom, making cracks about your—(looks at Wesley) Am I the only one he does that to?
FRED I know he's done this before, but you saw the way he was acting. Something's different this time. He's agitated, hallucinating.
GUNN Ghosts can do that?
WESLEY We are dealing with a unique case here as far as manifestations go. Dementia isn't completely out of the question.
FRED He's not crazy.
GUNN Screaming about people who aren't there? That's grounds for involuntary committal under the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act which states— Oh, sorry. Sometimes the law they stuffed in my noggin just clicks on.

I spoke too soon. This flu or whatever it is started getting bad again. If I don't get a lot better in the next few days I'm going to the doctor. At least I don't think it's covid because I had my shots and I don't have a fever. I don't even feel that bad, it's just that colds and flu aren't supposed to last for well over a week like this.
The apt bldg party was not bad except this crazy homeless woman barged in and started throwing food, sitting on the floor like a dog, shoving napkins between her legs etc. and the idiot manager refused to throw her out or even tell her to stop it. (This is the same asshole who is always rude to me.) Finally these two old ladies who live in my bldg kicked her ass out. Yay, them! I went up to them and thanked them.

I shall be working tomorrow (Christmas Eve) and need to leave the house at about 8.30am on Christmas Day, so I don't have a lot of time for preparation... but there's always time to squeeze in a little writing with a notebook balanced on top of the saucepan while preparing sprouts and packet noodles for supper, as I have just demonstrated :-P
(Admittedly it was about a sentence and a half, but I do intend to finish that sentence tonight, honest guv...)

Does genius burn for you today, Jos and Joes?

Alas, no [community profile] rec_cember entry today, buuuut...

I know tons of you are deep in the Heated Rivalry hole. Did you know a kinkmeme was happening? And a SECOND kinkmeme? Now you do!

GQ has an article out with some rather saucy images.

I've spotted some icons by [personal profile] wickedgame here.

Lastly, I'd recommend using the Explore/Site and Journal Search feature; I haven't seen DW be this vocal about a show for ages. I'm sure you'll find fellow fans to chat with.

Go forth and be fannish 🥳
