Remember, EM POC only!

I still don't have power, so I spent a lot of time at this cafe that is open late just to ensure that I have a full battery. I stayed there until they closed.

As utterly fucking frustrating as this is, it seems as if Tuesday/tomorrow is the latest I can expect to have power. So many houses around me already seem to have it.

I might be able to actually sleep with ease again as my room won't be disgustingly hot anymore. I could complain about it for ages, and I could get a lot more vulgar too, especially considering the whole fucked up context of the American government being more invested in putting in billions to fund fascist operations in Isn'trael and UKKKraine instead of providing relief to their own citizens that just endured the wrath of a very rough, cheek-clapping hurricane.

    nine sols is such a good game but the ppl around it saying it’s based on taiwanese mythology are so annoying lol. no, it’s chinese mythology that han chinese people brought over, not indigenous Taiwanese mythology from any of the indigenous Taiwanese peoples. it’s literally just mainland Chinese mythology and people are insistently calling it “Taiwanese”. that’s erasing indigenous Taiwanese people and also just plain wrong.

      "Taiwanese", huh from that rogue province?

      "Taiwanese" to me, strikes me as a broad term for provincial self-identification in Taiwan

      Could refer to waishengren (usually pro-unity), benshengren (usually it's separatist proponents) or indigenous people (yuanzhumin)?

      im looking at getting it for the steam deck, i had it on my wishliat forever. if you played hollow knight and the controls were tight, i didn't get that feeling in dead souls. how are the controls in nine sols, does it feel responsive?

        i'll be honest, i haven't played it myself, i've just watched playthroughs of it and hollow knight fans generally seem pleased with it.

      Taiwanese Han culture is just Fujianese culture. The "patron goddess of Taiwan" has more temples dedicated to her in Fujian. Xiamen and Kinmen are identical in culture even though one is administered by the PRC while the other is administered by the ROC.
