Pensive Ben Pack!

I, for one, am happy to have another hot episode of the greatest podcast in the world to listen to while I cook my spaghetti.

I love how legendary this series is, and how I knew about it before it won all the accolades at all the great galas all around the world.

Sometimes, science is riveting and shocking, just as it should be.

Since @danryckert is into anime lately, here is all you need to know about Lu Bu in one scene. The series is Sōten Kōro from 2009, if anyone is interested. I don't think it's very good overall, but this scene is still excellent. Sadly no english subs for this clip, but you don't really need them. :)

DOKI DOKI LITERATURE CLUB GOT ROBBED.

But whatever, a good topp three, the most important thing is that Nier made it on there. :)

I like that Rorie guy!

This was a great UPF and I hope we'll see Ben take more cracks at his act. :)

Engliish lyrics (seriously, this almost fits too well!):

Though it’d be fine if I were to give up…

Though I’m thinking I should just quit…

I can’t even run away;

So unsteady, so unsteady…

At the fault of my having no confidence,

I’m unable to even express myself,

Which makes me lose my confidence… in a spiral,

Spinning, spinning…

But now that we’ve met,

I won’t lose sight of it again!

If I have a smile,

I don’t need a single thing;

I don’t need,

Expensive things,

Or flashy jewelery.

Let’s gather around the dinner table,

Setting spaces for,

Yesterday’s mistakes,

And uncertain tomorrows.

Y’know, I don’t need a thing;

I don’t need,

Exquisite flavors,

Or fancy presentation.

Even if the taste of tears,

Is salty –

In the end,

If you can still smile,

That’s spice.

My feelings just can’t keep up,

And I end up stopping along the way.

But tomorrow just won’t wait for me,

So exasperated, so exasperated…

Joining hands ’til it hurts;

Keeping our shaking hands steady –

It’d be nice if we could keep moving forward,

At the speed of the beating hearts!

Let’s cry with all our might…

And laugh with all our might!

If we’re together,

I don’t need a single thing;

I don’t need any more,

Fake smiles,

Or false pride.

Let’s tidily fold away,

Weaknesses and complaints,

Storing them away in the back of a drawer.

Y’know, I don’t need a thing;

I don’t need,

That extra aroma,

Or unnecessary coloring.

Even if just the ingredients alone,

Is not enough,

If without decoration,

You can still smile…

No matter the group of people,

I’ve been alone;

Even if I’m still alone now,

I’m not lonely in the slightest!

If I have a smile,

I don’t need a single thing;

I don’t need,

Expensive things,

Or flashy jewelry.

Let’s gather around the dinner table,

Setting spaces for,

Yesterday’s mistakes,

And uncertain tomorrows.

Y’know, I don’t need a thing;

I don’t need,

Exquisite flavors,

Or fancy presentation.

Even if the taste of tears,

Is salty –

In the end,

If you can still smile,

If you can still smile,

With people precious to you…

If you can still smile,

Then above all else,

That’s spice.

I actually thought Shido's dungeon was far and away the best one by quite a margin. The mouse mechanic was not excellent, but it was decent, and the whole dungeon felt interconnected in a way most of the others weren't and you got the feeling that you were actually on a boat with a working design.

But the best part was that they sprinkled story throughout with the reveal of Shido's closest men, all capped off with a battle with Akechi at the very end, before the boss battle with Shido. I played this whole dungeon in one sitting and felt it only gained momentum all the way to the end. I hope they keep this exact dungeon in mind for P6 and try to do more storytelling in the dungeons than they usually do.

Also; Makoto best girl.
