I was feeling a little sad and lonely so I made num-nums.

Peanut butter cookies. Nice treat!

Manhole
===
Tetsuya Tsutsui
===

A naked, confused, puffy man dies in a Sasahara street. Medics attend and police make enquires.

A lead detective and his newbie start chasing down why this man died. Forensics say it's a parasite not known to be local. Before long, an outbreak takes place and, through clever deduction and a little writer's magic, it's discovered to be the machinations of a single hurt scientist.

The art in this manga is gorgeous. Beautiful perspective, interesting action shots, great use of space and set design, and not a small amount of 'fan service' (I hate that term). The characters were a little flat, seemingly better placed in a jingoistic American war film, but the story makes up for the flaws.

CW: Gore, body horror, removal of agency, sexploitation, misogyny, child abuse, CSA, power play, on paper gun play.

@libreleah DS9 multiscreen? :party_gopher_dancing:

@libreleah you win so hard

Have you peeps heard of the manga 【noise】 by Tetsuya Tsutsui?

It's a gritty crime and law story set in rural Japan featuring some of the best character design and development I've ever seen. Apparently, it's been made into a B-movie too.

I'm going to get into this. Report back later.

(Not to be confused with Noise by Tsutomu Nihei)

The German version of Touching Your Night arrived today. 6€ delivered. I'm amazed.

And it came with a cute and beautiful plastic in-universe Instagram post thing.

I'll take it.

@selzero this is an alarming amount of camp. Who is he?

A few days ago, a friend called and asked me to help out at the centre where he volunteers. I packed a bag with munch and extra clothes and dipped.

It was so busy there I didn't have time to munch, so I forgot about the banana and protein pot I had in my bag.

When I got up this morning, there was this smell. One of rot, of decay. My nose took me all around d the house until I found my bag in the closet.

The smell. Ooooh, the smell. Have you ever heard of buzzards and shitwagons? That. Just that.

Well, I'm very awake now.

It's been years since I thought about it. I thought i was free.

But for some Lovecraftian mind bubble of a reason, I've just remembered...

None pizza with left beef.

I hate my brain sometimes.

Apparently there is a mild brouhaha amongst us regarding the 'X' button on a PlayStation controller.

So, 'everyone' on Reddit (re: English-only speakers) is convinced it's called 'Eks', while every polyglot, including PlayStation themselves, call it 'cross'.

Watching this is a lesson in patience, annoyance, pettiness, and ignorance supremacy.

@arcana do they sell defrag for brains? :party_gopher_dancing:

I wonder which key on a standard keyboard is pressed second most often.

@prettygood I'm guessing the flavour profile to be saturated fats.

@dgar dumb foreign question here: what actually is a corndog? I've heard the term so often but haven't a clue.
