    Interesting video I've been working through and wanted to spark some discussion on Tildes about host clubs. I didn't really know where I should put this so if ~talk isn't the right place than my apologies. Personally, while I like the idea of host clubs in theory, this is definitely another one of those "great in theory, terrible in practice" ideas.

    Just a heads up, I couldn't get the pack published to Modrinth. It just does not want to work for some reason. Really sorry.

    No idea, I've never done it either. I just have friends who have and have told me it is pretty easy. I'll look into it and make it happen though!

    I am in favor of hosting on https://modrinth.com/ so that the pack can be downloaded via a launcher such as Prism Launcher. I would be willing to help get that setup if you are interested.

    Some outdated language but it is a very interesting segment if you ask me.

    I can definitely swap out the blues pretty easily. The dividing lines and links might get a little complicated but I can definitely make it happen. Thank you for the contrast checker that will come in very handy alongside the rest of the feedback.

    Just a somewhat interesting video I found about a somewhat interesting conference

    For those out of the loop, CPAC or The Conservative Political Action Conference is an annual political conference attended by conservative activists and elected officials from across the United States. CPAC is hosted by the American Conservative Union. The first CPAC took place in 1974. (sourced from Wikipedia)

    Also really funny side note: The venue that hosted CPAC is called the gaylord and was used to host an extremely left leaning anime convention just three days before hand. Just thought that was funny enough to mention :)

    For the uninitiated, UTAU is a Japanese singing synthesizer application created by Ameya/Ayame (飴屋／菖蒲). This program is similar to the VOCALOID software, with the difference being it is shareware instead of under a third party licensing. (stolen from Wikipedia)

    Alright, I finished Kitanai Kimi ga Ichiban Kawaii and holy hell, it's something. I have never been more torn on my opinions on a piece of media in my entire life. On one hand, I'm tempted to say it is completely disgusting and not even worth reading. On the other hand, it is a captivating look into the mind of the depraved and love sick. It's one of those stories you want to stop reading, but manages to keep pulling you back in like an abusive ex. I can't say whether or not I recommend it. I would say read the synopsis and if you think you can stomach it, try it. It will change your life, for better or for worse.

    In terms of stuff I started this week:

    • Joshikou Dakara Safe: Mediocre yuri. Not too interesting.
    • Ki ni Natteru Hito ga Otoko Janakatta: I love music and yuri. Naturally this was a must read for me. 10/10, extremely wholesome, and I cannot recommend it enough.
    • WataMote (anime): An endurance test in cringe. The back half isn't actually that bad, but it is still really cringe-y. I can see the appeal, but I didn't really enjoy my time. I kept putting off finishing it because it just wasn't that good.
