I had a dream that I was traveling with a group of ancient Chinese officials. The senior one had his daughter with him. She was sick, but my medical knowledge saved her.

I was a language instructor in class. I think I was trying to get the learners to construct a sentence with a direct object in Russian. I realized that even I as the instructor struggled to do it myself, and conceded it must be way too demanding for them, so I decided we'd go back to the first pages for a while to have the learners try to identify direct objects in sentences. I think that's when IRL a doorbell woke me up.

Don't know what to think of it. I believe I disapprove.
I'm disturbed by the yellow man's obsession with adolescent oriented media about transcendental loneliness, impossible reconciliation of the self with the other. Aruki Murakami, Evangelion, city pop music... This manga fits into that... Makes me all think a bit of Houellebecq's work, to the point where this is very unlikely to be a coincidence.

That shit fucked me up for good when I read it as a teen. I remember it being really tragic so I wouldn't want to re-read it but it definitely left an impression, also with the way it combines different art styles. I don't really see any particular connection to Houellebecq tho tbh.
As for manga, I've finished Blame! recently, the story is kind of whatever, but the art and worldbuilding are absolute peak dystopian sci-fi. Nobody does this morose architecture and post-human creatures like Tsutomu Nihei.
Started rereading Dorohedoro only to realize I've only read the first few volumes previously. It's strengths are in the mix of a nasty punk aesthetic with some light humor, the central mystery the plot revolves around keeps getting ever more confusing though. Have some nice panels to look at!

I'm around 10 hours in Stalker 2 and i like it a lot.
Russian purists can hate and cheeki breeki me as much as they want but it's a very good game.

I played the first games 10 years ago or so so it is hard for me to compare, but i feel like the art style was converted well.

From what I heard it's "still the same game as the first Stalker, and there are no new features despite long development" but imo that's a good thing. I liked the first Stalker and wouldn't want it to be "enhanced" like Fallout 4. While same old Stalker with new plot and locations sounds cool.

Maybe I'll play it if I have time. But I'd never buy it because developers sponsor forced mobilization ("busification") of Ukrainians while themselves sitting in Prague.

Update:

Played for half an hour and uninstalled. Maybe I just like HoMM 3 more for nostalgia than the gameplay.

>Mouthwashing
Finished it in one sitting. It's mostly just story with a few light gameplay elements. Cool aesthetics, but the story wasn't as sophisticated as I expected. Fine for what it is.

I tried giving Danganronpa 3 a shot but couldn't get into it, like so many VNs it's just too verbose. Baffles me that I managed to finish the first two games.

After finally getting Mythic rank in MtG Arena draft, I got kinda burned out. Started playing some Balatro instead. Got hooked for a few hours but it didn't catch on. Now with the catgirl mahjong game I think I found something reasonably challenging to scratch my competitive itch.

Doing another run on Card Survival Tropical Island.

I hardly ever praise anything Chinese, but those devs really got something relaxing, immersing and still tense with this gameplay loop.
Soon their fantasy forest themed successor should release ...into early access, so I'll take it with a grain of salt.

Already far into comfy survival.
Early need for water was quenched with the tried and tested rain basin in the wetlands, followed by a cistern in the main jungle area.
Even managed to dig out a cellar as early home there, which will be useful later on as food store once I got my stone hut.

Right now just making life more comfortable.
Crafting some scented candles, braising some island chicken, boiling nippa sap into sugar, talking to my BBS-tier friend Weston and playing the lonely flute for fun.
Even trapped myself another boar sow, that will feed me a few days!

Soon the first dry season should be over now, so the next focus shall be some farming once water is plentiful.

Ended up taking another break since I got a new tattoo that turned out longer than anticipated. Strength-wise I didn't lose much but my work capacity got kind of busted. Granted, I blasted a cig right before today's workout but I was huffing and puffing and started feeling nauseous halfway through to the point that I skipped a few sets at the end.

Did my first 10k (actually almost 11k) on Sunday. No, not my first, but my first since ten years or so.
It's not that I couldn't have done it in the past, but I find running just so, so boring.
Anyway, in addition to training my cardiovascular fitness I also got a bit of a bout of ambition and am now working towards running the 10k in under an hour, and eventually I hope to get under 45 minutes.
My time on Sunday was 1:07 from looking at the clock upon leaving to looking at the clock upon arriving, so in reality it was probably slightly less, but that's ok. My calculated speed was still under 10 km/h.
I am now at the point though where heart and lungs aren't the limiting factor anymore, but the legs. Had the same when I was still doing uphill runs (can't anymore because flat land ;_;) in that at some point my legs just gave up. Apparently I now need to build up lactate tolerance or something like that. I refuse to make a real training plan and check my pulse and whatnot, and I just hope I won't become a runner. There's something about them that I don't like, but I can't even really name it, so I might not even notice it when I do it. But I already paid 300 Euros for my running shoes (my last pair cost not even 20, but those kinds of shoes apparently don't exist anymore).
Yeah, that's it. Now I need to go to bed because I need to do a 5k after work.

What emerges? Russia brings river boats out into the black sea to do ship-to-ship transfers there, because they can't get their sea-going tankers through the defenses they installed on the kerch bridge.

River boats are not made to face the black sea during winter storms. It was to be expected that some of them would be seriously. I don't understand why it would be relevant where the oil goes.

Or is there an implied "no matter what the news says, the imperialists torpedoed those vessels to fuck over india, specificially! they wouldn't have done that to china!"?

This is the Radio Ernstiwan-thread. The server stays the same, but is now reachable at:

radio.ernstchan.top

It is recommended to switch to this address for both listening and streaming, though the old xyz-domain is still supported from our side. But given what happened on the old chan we can't guarantee that the xyz-address will be kept available for us. Also all technical/festival announcements by radio staff will be made here from now on.

Everything else stays the same: The public stream can be used by everyone (see pic 4 for details), but if you stream regularly, an own account is recommended, write a mail to ernstiwan at protonmail.ch to get one. Include your desired user name and ideally (though optional) an avatar picture for the radio stats page. Reliable and production proven streaming software is butt: https://sourceforge.net/projects/butt/ (lightweight and easy to use, but lacks some features like updating artist/title) and mixxx: https://mixxx.org/ (can do it all, but setup is more complicated).

Also please remember that the radio recently switched from port 8000 to Port 80 (no SSL/TLS) and 443 (SSL/TLS mandatory).

His health seemed to have going downhill for a while so it's not a suprise but still makes me sad. Made me remember how I first caught a Twin Peaks rerun on TV as a teen and enjoyed it so much it ended up being one of the few things I would try and watch on schedule. And then watching Mulholland Drive in a shitty quality for the first time and being completely confused yet also intrigued to try and decipher it. I'm sure his films have been an important introduction to film as art for many. Truly a one of a kind filmmaker, artist and human being.

Took this sad occasion as an opportunity to watch The Elephant Man, last feature of his I hadn't seen yet. What a fitting ending, here's the full excerpt of the Tennyson poem quoted:

Never, oh never, nothing will die.
The stream flows,
The wind blows,
The cloud fleets,
The heart beats.
Nothing will die.

Disagree. When I watched it years ago I felt it was not fully coming together as a movie. Perhaps the worms are cooler, especially for 1984, but then again maybe if I hadn't known what I was getting into for the new Dune adaptation I would have been more impressed by them.

This Ernst is currently just throwing everything he can put to the side in index funds.

If i would actually have a lot of money to invest i could've made a lot of money that way in the last 3 month. Too bad.

In many scenarios, an AMR can not do much more than an AGV.

Unit cost for a small to mid sized machine is about $40.000. They will need charging stations. Specialized handling equipment is often necessary. A complete implementation will almost certainly have six-figure cost per unit. Return on invest depends on the concrete scenario.

I see the upcoming robotics trend is here already too :3
So far only SERF on my watchlist, as I haven't looked into all that too much, some look like pretty small caps for the risk of pump and dumps tho.

Maybe I slowly nudge into PLTR puts again, once the good CPI data are fully digested and there's more fat on it again.
I see them at 40 at some time in the future.

Just listened to Marduk's Opus Nocturne for the first time.
I don't quite get the hype. Maybe it's because I couldn't pay attention the entire time, or because it needs a bunch of attempts. I liked Panzer Division Marduk, but this seemed more Emperor-esque and, dare I say, "conventional", but certainly less brutal.
