Happy Trans Day of Visibility and Eid al-Fitr! 🏳️⚧️☪️
I don't actually celebrate Eid because I'm not Muslim, but it's still a major event when you're living in a majorly-Muslim country, and as a queer person I notice the coincidence that Trans Day of Visibility and Eid al-Fitr fell on the same day this year.
(In Malaysia, Eid al-Fitr is commonly referred to by its Malay name, Hari Raya Aidilfitri, even when speaking English)
I set up the Sunshine game stream host in my computer and installed Moonlight as the client in both my computer and Android phone, so I can stream Spirit City: Lofi Sessions to my phone to carry around when I perform tasks away from my computer.
I already knew why the Pokémon video games struggle to evolve badly even before watching this video, but as long as die-hard Pokémon fans keep defending them against criticisms (and refusing to try out any other monster taming games even if they have higher quality), the points still need to be repeated again and again.
Looks like I will need to stay up late to watch Cassette Beasts Showcase 2025 live after all.
Initially the presentation was planned for 10 pm today in my time zone, but the developers are now delaying it to 2 hours later, because coincidentally Nintendo Direct 2025 will start at the initial planned time for Cassette Beasts Showcase 2025, which is 10 pm in my time zone.
I still remember a comment I received for one of my posts on Tumblr via reblogging the post and adding the commentary in the tags of the reblog, talking about how Pokémon is lucky that its fans refuse to try out any other monster taming games, because otherwise more people would realise how painfully mediocre the Pokémon games in general are for the mosnter taming genre.
"I want to think for myself, and I think you should too."
Thanks to the monsoon surge in Malaysia, for two days in a row there has been continuous rain in my area, making the temperature cold enough that my household does not need to switch on any air conditioner, and we still feel cold even without air conditioners.
Decided to switch from Harmonoid to Dopamine as my music player on Windows, because I honestly dislike how I have to take time for Harmonoid to re-index my folders whenever I add or remove music files from my folders.
Went to watch Ne Zha 2 with my parents in cinema in the afternoon. My parents were more excited about watching the film than I did, while I was merely along the ride to see what the hype was about, since it is now the highest-grossing animated film in the world.
After seeing it, I found that while I was impressed by the animation and visuals, I was unimpressed by how the portrayal and treatment of female characters were full of archetypes in male-centric films.
A Ne Zha 2 review by circularuins on Douban (in Chinese) explains my issues with the portrayal and treatment of women in the film well.
Be nice, be forgiving, but don’t be a pushover.
一名马来西亚爱狗人士把自家的狗狗训练成为环保小卫士，在海滩捡垃圾。
这名狗主能如此训练他的狗狗们固然可喜可贺，而这些狗狗也很萌很可爱，但我更希望人们不要乱丢垃圾。正如视频里的记者指出，有些垃圾是狗狗无法捡起的，所以人们如果能把自己的垃圾带走会更好。
