Author: Trip the Space Parasite

Also Buzzard Day (hi jill).

Busses still not running (just give the workers a fair contract already, management!) so I had to walk to shopping. It was okay, but on the way back, carrying bags in my hands was a pain. I don’t have a large backpack and wouldn’t want to carry refrigerated food for an hour without the insulated bag, so I guess I’ll try the miracle of the wheel next week.

My favorite web serial Katalepsis is back, so I was able to read the new chapter over sandwich as had become my habit. Go [NEW CHARACTER]!

Watched (anime): Delicious in Dungeon 2-3: Ah, the living armor. And it’s getting past the picking-on-Marcille-all-the-time phase, which is good.

Read (novel): The Tomb of Dragons (Katherine Addison): Third (and final?) book about the sad gay necromancer detective in the world of The Goblin Emperor. Perhaps he is less sad, now!

Read (manga): Creepy Cat vol 4 (Cotton Valent): Final volume! We find out where Creepy Cat and the Creepy Cats are from and what is up with all that. The end!

Written (catgirl): 128.

Or Pie Day, depending who you ask.

Had another multi-hour customer call, but my suggestion in hour 1 turned out to be the solution as soon as I stepped into the other room during hour 5.

Watched (animated TV): The Dragon Prince 3.8-9: The final battle! Not very well-commanded on either side, but that’s it for the season, and a hook for next season.

Read (novel): Installment Immortality (Seanan McGuire): Another one from the perspective of the babysitter ghost, still fighting the Covenant with all her new restrictions now that she serves a proper god and not the Crossroads. Finally she gets to interact with normal ghosts, which come in a great variety, because this series is all about taxonomy.

Read (manga): Pandora Seven vol 1 (Yuta Kayashima): The only human on a remote island is thrust into adventure when other humans show up to get the power hidden there and it activates and attaches to the heroine. Flying ships, mechanical forests, unethical biotech witches, and human dominance over the other sapient species by means of prophecy should be cool, but it’s not quite there.

Hi Ken!

Walked to the train station again, got somewhat damp, went to the office, ate a beef and vegetable bowl with multiple vegetables, did a customer call that didn’t last forever, walked home in wind but not rain.

Read (novella): The River Has Roots (Amal El-Mohtar): Two sisters lived by the river that flowed out of Arcadia, so it’s not surprising they got involved in fairy tale murder ballad events. I spotted references to at least two fairy tales, and probably missed a bunch because I’m not a very analytical reader, but the story is all its own thing.

Read (manga): Box of Light vol 1 (Seiko Erisawa): There is a convenience store between the worlds of the living and the dead, staffed by people from both sides and haunted by outer darkness, salespeople who won’t take know for an answer, and of course the dying. Despite that, it’s not a particularly morbid manga, more supernatural workplace drama.

Written (catgirl): 166.

I guess it had to be some day!

Walked to the train station in the slight drizzle because all the bus drivers are on strike, went to the office, ate Mayan chicken and vegetables and rice, did some works, walked back from the train station in the rain, contemplated the futility of my life.

Called my senators to remind them to not vote for the Republican fuck-everything-up bill, for all the good it will do.

Read (manga): Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! vol 3 (Sumito Oowara): They assimilate Sound Girl, make the video about shooting down UFOs, and go to the doujinshi convention.

Written (catgirl): 217. Apparently I didn’t give up.

If only people would train and socialize their immune systems properly.

Spent multiple hours on a customer call only for the problem to eventually vanish as mysteriously as it appeared.

No gaming, people were sick or thought it was Monday or whatever.

Read (manga): I Don’t Know Which is Love vol 2 (Tamamushi Oku): The love interests are starting to become aware of each other and realizing they need to compete for the lead’s affections. This will definitely go well.

Written (nothing): FAIL. Because I suck and should probably give up.

 

Sadly I’m not allowed to celebrate. I will demonstrate why by slicing open my finger on this can of cat food. Yes, the finger that I use to log in to my work computer.

The bus drivers are on strike starting today. I’m sure it will be fine.

Read (manga): I Don’t Know Which is Love vol 1 (Tamamushi Oku): After being crushed by her unrequited crush at the end of high school, a very gay girl goes to college and immediately gets entangled with five beautiful women, each of whom is captivated by a different thing about her. Lesbian harem manga is possibly even sillier than straight.

Written (game design): 108.

Panic is unquestionably called for this year, but seems like a lot of work. Maybe I should celebrate Barbie Day instead?

Schlepped up to Mountain View to get phlebotomized, returned home with boons for all catkind. Apparently I’m great at not knowing how long extremely predictable things will take, but I still had enough afternoon left to take a stupid little walk for my stupid mental and physical health. I meant to walk farther, but my legs wanted to go home after only an hour and a half.

Read (graphic novel): Codex Black: Bird of Ill Omen (Camilo Moncada Lozano): Further Mesoamerican adventures of the girl with the magic shawl and the boy with the magic wings. They meet the thief with the skull again, get involved in the machinations of a secret cult, save an emperor, etc.

Read (short): “Rhizomatic Diplomacy” (Vajra Chandrasekera): The experience of a modified fork of a human mind sent to talk aliens out of the thing they’re doing.

Read (short): “What It Means to Be a Car” (James Patrick Kelly): Conversation between an autonomous car and a visitor to the estate of the person primarily responsible for inventing personality uploading, which some attention to what happens on the way to uploading being a polished, reliable process.

Read (short): “Ceffo” (Jonathan Carroll): A woman gets an unusual way out of an AITA-worthy relationship.

Read (short): “Headhunting” (Rich Larson): A PI plagued by hallucinations is hired to discreetly retrieve a mummified monk’s head from a cathedral and finds out the hard way why somebody would do that.

Written (game design): 129, although it’s just questions to myself that probably don’t even need to be written down until they have answers. Like, how much should PCs die?

Definitely not allowed in the US under the current regime.

Managed to get up at a reasonable hour to do shopping and extra shopping and get a haircut.

No anime, so I ordered pizza for myself and cleaned out some of my hundreds of browser tabs.

Read (short): “Even If Such Ways Are Bad” (Rich Larson): Far future adventure with a bioship, brain augmentation, bad religion, suppressed trauma, corporate minds, other strangeness. I liked it, but it was pretty weird.

Read (manga): Drip Drip (Paru Itagaki): Our main character suffers explosive nosebleeds whenever she comes in contact with something physically or morally “dirty”, which is only comedic if you’re not the one who has to clean up the mess or regenerate the blood volume. Even though she’s hot and willing, human bodies are so disgusting that she’s never been able to get a boyfriend or even a one-night stand. Will she be able to overcome her unique challenge?

Written (game design): 128 of scribbled notes, some based on browser tabs I closed.

“Study your math, kids. Key to the universe!”

Didn’t have to get up early, training was cancelled, but still would rather have slept in.

Read (picture book): Shark Girl (Kate Beaton): The obnoxious fisherman has annoyed Shark Girl, and she has discovered the human emotion of REVENGE! Adorable, but not too adorable.

Read (graphic novel): All My Friends are Ghosts (SM Vidaurri, Hannah Krieger): A middle-schooler who is having trouble fitting in gets tangled up with ghosts and psychopompery and possible mortal danger but also friendship.

Read (collected comic): Door to Door Night by Night vol 1 (Cullen Bunn, Sally Cantirino, Dee Cunniffe, Andworld Design): A traveling fundraising crew recruit somebody who turns out to be a wandering monster hunter, and after that they can’t avoid seeing the monsters in every small town.

Read (manga): Shonen Note: Boy Soprano vol 1 (Yuhki Kamatani): Middle school chorus, opera, a notably innocent and sensitive heart, new friendships, a rival waiting in the wings, and a limited time to stay a soprano.

Read (short): “The Knight of Rot” (Chris Bissette): A short story in the world of Mörk Borg, so extremely grim.

Written (catgirl): 244.

Although maybe it’s actually UK and Ireland Book Day? More book days are always better, though.

I tried to get up and go to the office, but couldn’t even, because I suck.

Read (novel): Momo Arashima Duels the Queen of the Dead (Misa Sugiura): The thrilling conclusion! Japan-adjacent mythologies, the power of friendship, victory over the forces of evil, etc.

Read (graphic novel): OMFG, Bees! (Matt Kracht): Maybe more of an illustrated guidebook to bees, both in general and some specific examples. Bees are awesome! I must give this book to Nonny.

Written (catgirl): 188.

Presumably not this nation.

Went to the office,helped Coworker D with a customer call, ate some chicken biriyani that was really too spicy.

Read (novel): Momo Arashima Breaks the Mirror of the Sun (Misa Sugiura): Further adventures in Japanese mythology, new friends for the main character to have fights with, and really that mirror had it coming.

Read (graphic novel): Taka (Ryan Jampole): Through a comedic series of mishaps, a delinquent gets stuck with the power to transform into a superhero and defeat the alien menace from the past. She hates this, and also does not want friends, but by the end, has decided it’s not so bad. Let’s hear it for personal growth!

Written (catgirl): 161.

Thanks, Jeremy and Ken!

Sleeping wrapped in velcro bands and wires and nose cannulas and finger clamps wasn’t as bad as I feared, but it definitely wasn’t good, and I did have to get up early to take the stuff back to the place, so it was not a vigorous day. I’m also not sure I even generated any data, since I had to put on the velcro straps myself, and society wants single people to die.

Played (Changeling the Lost): Ken’s 90s Berkeley. Now our changelings hate this King Mark guy, because he sent a little punk to shake down their new friend Troll for hedge fruit (which he didn’t have, because he already gave it to Theophania & co).  They go into the hedge looking for fruit which they may give to Troll if he wants it, and find some stabapple (not edible, maybe useful for stabbing), something that causes the eater to try to eat more and more of it until they die, and grapes with eyes inside and vines that almost strangle Theophania before she can use one of her few contracts to disable the security. We close on them arguing (Theophania with gestures) over whether to steal the grapes.

Read (graphic novel): Codex Black: A Fire Among Clouds (Camilo Moncada Lozano): Mesoamerican fantasy! A girl with a god-inhabited shawl goes in search of her long-lost father, meets a boy (not like that) who has even more mysterious magic, they have some adventures, get mixed up in and robbed by yet more magic, etc. It is pretty cute and there’s not much on-screen human sacrifice.

Written (catgirl): 118.

I’m sure Sage and Nightvale would still be very affectionate even if they could open canned food on their own!

Had to get up early to get a home sleep monitoring apparatus, which looks very alarming. Also I will have to get up early tomorrow to return it, after trying to sleep in it.

Read (graphic novel): The History of Everything (Victoria Evans): One best friend finds out that she’s moving, so she tries to make their last summer memorable with a list of things to do, but the other best friend gets a boyfriend and everything is terrible until they manage to make up.

Read (novel): It’s a Love/Skate Relationship (Carli J Corson): Hockey Girl gets suspended from the team for fighting off the ice (he totally deserved it) and ends up having to help Figure Skating Girl train, who is terrible and obnoxious and yet so hot and in need of rescuing from heterosexuality and figure skating is actually kind of awesome.

Written (catgirl): 208.

This day is for both Sage and Nightvale! Also Marmalade and Ghirardelli and Aspen and Dani and Benny.

Played (D&D5.5E): Librarians Errant. While their boss and his love nemesis confer over the disposition of volume III and other vital matters, Reshelving Squad Upsilon is accosted by a message from Crimefrosh Tokda Snir. The kobold refuge is under attack, and Novo Reek alone has been able to return to the upper world to seek assistance! With no orders to the contrary from Martin, the squad sets out for the upper margins of the Underdark. Everything goes well until they come across the halfling scout who led them into traps earlier pretending to look for a secret door. Proving once again that none of them has ever majored in Common Sense, they chase him into a pit trap full of ochre jelly with bonus otyugh, which Thaïs resolves by filling it with cryogenic mist, and then into a cave inhabited by a cloaker and some tentacle slugs, which is a little trickier to get through. However, one grick is banished and the halfling exits stage left pursued by a hound of ill omen, and the squad finally arrives in the kobolds’ backup village. The first thing they see is the halfling sauntering across the cavern, and the second is thirteen bullywugs riding a purple worm. It looks bad for a moment, but Thaïs banishes the worm, the bullywugs are taken prisoner, and everyone sets up for some ultraviolence when the worm is freed from its dimensional prison. It still swallows Flint, who sacrifices himself to save Lilli, and the squad is almost entirely out of magic by the end, but the session ends with a massive worm BBQ party.

Read (manga): My Girlfriend’s Not Here Today vol 3 (Kiyoko Iwami): Cheating is as good a reason for smut as any! Also none of these girls is any good at communication, because teenagers.

Written (catgirl): 263.

Sage! You have your VERY OWN DAY!

I’m not sure when National Night Vale Day is, probably June 15. I wonder if I can make a computer remember that for me.

No anime, Monkeycat Towers is full of plagues. Not interesting plagues, just gross ones that Marith fears. (Actually I kind of fear it too; I don’t need more mucus, I have plenty.)

Read (novella): The Witch and the Wyrm (Elizabeth Bear): Norse sorcery and why people don’t want sorcerers visiting, or to be involved in anything sorcerers are involved in. Apparently the sequel to something, but it was all pretty clear.

Read (manga): Qualia the Purple omnibus (Hisamitsu Ueo, Shirou Tsunashima): A middle-school girl sees all living things as robots, which is convenient for philosophical thought experiments but doesn’t keep her from having a few friends. Then the serial killer shows up and her best friend gets to live an entire series of thought experiments about quantum theory, the observer effect, time travel, the ascended Madoka, and the power of friendship. It’s not Greg Egan, but it’s a lot more solid than most popular fiction that invokes QM.

Read (novella): But Not Too Bold (Hache Pueyo): In the mansion of the spider-goddess(?), there is a mystery around the latest of her (numerous, short-lived) brides, which the Keeper of the Keys must resolve before she too is devoured.

Written (catgirl): 226.

I ward off the Tooth Fairy with floss and fluoride!

Watched (animation): The Dragon Prince 3.5-7: Humans are the worst, and yet Viren is taking that as a challenge.

Read (novel): Momo Arashima Steals the Sword of the Wind (Misa Sugiura): A bullied Japanese-American middle-schooler discovers that she is actually special and goes on an adventure through Japanese mythology. It’s legitimately hard being Momo, some minor anger issues are perfectly understandable.

Read (manga): I read enough that I’m keeping up with my inches-per-week, but it’s part of a huge thick omnibus so I haven’t finished and logged the title yet.

Written (catgirl): 153.

Is it only 23 hours long?

Also No-Brainer Day. Look, it me!

Went to the office without a jacket for the first time this year (I think), there were people there, ate some popcorn chicken that seemed good in theory but was awfully fried in practice, hated being in the office because people talk and talk and there aren’t enough conference rooms for everybody who needs to do a customer call. Return-to-office continues to be a pointless waste of everybody’s time, as it has been since the beginning.

I tried to think about game design more, but you know how when you crossword too much, and a perfectly ordinary sequence of letters stops looking like language? I think I’m at that point. Magic? Fight? Treasure? Elf? Experience? Monster? Is that all supposed to add up to something?

Read (manga): My Cute Little Kitten vol 2 (Milk Morinaga): Insecurity, sex, life changes, medical emergencies (the cat is fine), it’s hard being a hot lesbian couple!

Written (catgirl): 110.

Another failure on my part.

Went to the office, had the room to myself, sat on customer calls all day, ate a short-rib-between-grilled-rice-cakes burger thing. May or may not have done any actual work.

Read (short story): Peacock on Parade (CE Murphy): Every time Kit writes about a bird shifter, it’s more alarming. I’m pretty sure that after Colorado Shifters and Irish Zoo Shifters, the next spinoff series is going to be Reign of the Dinosaurs II: Theropod Boogaloo. Also the female lead from this book is someone from TooMUSH.

Read (game): Rebels of the Outlaw Wastes (Michael Addison): Wandering heroes against the post-apocalyptic oppressors! The GM is also the voice on the radio that provides mysterious information. Pick your apocalypse and wasteland and oppressors, or make up your own, pick a playbook (ex-oppressor, robot, mutant, whatever), and have wild adventures. The system is fairly basic larger-dice-for-higher-skill, spend successes to get additional benefits, with the twist that if you accomplish enough with a skill you get a sticker to put on your character sheet. The book comes with a complete set of stickers, but I guess after that you need to draw them yourself.

Written (game design): 173. Still not sure that my initial ideas weren’t all wrong.

I was quiet because although I was on a lot of customer meeting today, I mostly didn’t have to take the lead.

No gaming due to a general lack of energy.

Read (graphic novel): It Took Luke (Mark Bouchard, Bayleigh Underwood, Micah Myers, Jasmine Walls): I’m not sure the monsters are even a metaphor for capitalism at this point.

Written (catgirl): 175. This character’s relationship with her dad is too wholesome and not dramatic enough. Should I make him a worse person?

I am ahead of my time! (I ate tortilla chips yesterday, along with way too much cheese.)

Did not manage to get up for the optional early meeting, even though I probably really should have. Too many customers, not enough brains.

Cleaners came in the afternoon and rearranged everything.

Read (manga): My Girlfriend’s Not Here Today vol 2 (Kiyoko Iwami): Like the author says, this is a manga about cheating! None of these girls is a particularly great person, not even the one being cheated on, but that’s how you get the mega-drama.

Written (catgirl): 161.

Another one more honor’d in the breach etc.

Did some shopping, but the store failed me. Did some more shopping for cats, which worked better, then tried another shopping with a stupid walk for my stupid mental and physical health, which got me what I was looking for but the bus failed me so I had to carry bags of heavy stuff until my shoulders were sore.

Watched (live action): The Bureau of Magical Things 1-2: An otherwise normal Australian teenager accidentally gets magical powers and has to interact with the magical creatures she can now see, some of whom are extremely obnoxious. A return to the days of less polished special effects, with a female-dominated cast.

Read (manga): My Girlfriend’s Not Here Today vol 1 (Kiyoko Iwami): Girl A is frustrated because her secret (because homophobia) girlfriend B isn’t paying her enough attention and now Girl C has found A’s secret social media account and is stalking her and it’s a huge mess but C is hot and paying attention to A, so I don’t think this love triangle is going to be resolved in a way that is both healthy and satisfactory to all concerned.

Written (catgirl): 198.

Well, that’s easy. Also National California Day and World Thinking Day, one of which is easier than the other.

Tried to get up and do the errands in a timely fashion, but instead let myself be trapped in bed by the cats until forever o’clock and did the errands in a much more dilatory fashion.

Watched (anime): Bungo Stray Dogs 3.12 (37): Season finale, the day is saved, more fic about Black Tentacles Boy x Weretiger Boy is sparked, etc.

Watched (anime): Delicious in Dungeon 1: I think it’s getting off to a faster start than the manga, because they only have 24 episodes to cover 14 volumes. Falin is eaten, Senshi is met, monsters are cooked.

Read (manga): Cats and Sugar Bowls (YUKIKO): A bunch of short yuri pieces, some of them pretty fetishy (by my lame standards). Medium-spicy.

Written (catgirl): 247.

Sounds boring, is probably absolutely vital to a functional Internet/computer-based society.

A work I was doing suddenly became Extremely Critical in somebody’s eyes so we had to have meetings and stuff. Ugh.

Read (manga): See You Tomorrow at the Food Court (Shinichiro Nariie): Two apparently dissimilar girls meet after school at the food court every day to talk about stuff and live slices of their lives and sometimes fight and make up. Not yuri, they really are just friends. I don’t think it’s even subtextually or codedly yuri.

Read (novel): Opium and Absinthe (Lydia Kang): A young rich lady’s sister turns up dead of apparent vampirism in 1899 New York and she has to investigate despite the constraints of propriety and family, broken bones, period medical care, semi-functional opium addiction, the terrible behavior of men, family secrets, truly terrible plans, etc. She makes friends, uncovers mysteries, and does maybe a little good in the world, though.

Written (catgirl): 172.

Also Clean Out Your Bookcase Day. I am better at one of these things than the other, possibly.

Went to the office, there were people there, ate a brisket sandwich and potato salad, did a work or two.

Read (game): The Lost and the Jammed (Tom Mecredy): It’s like a cross between D&D and Wild West and WWI, or D&D where the iconic weapon is the gun rather than the sword. Ruins with remnants of advanced technology, cyclopean shell craters, diabolists summoning demons to make infernal guns, wandering sages with blueprints for divine weapons tattooed on their skins, dragons causing trouble for the lesser species, etc. The system is a pretty standard increasing/decreasing die size, Gear is a stat, negative conditions instead of hit points.

Read (novel): Emberstone Farm (L Meili): Isekai heroine in a world that seems to be an Asian-themed cross between Stardew Valley and Minecraft, with only minor elements of monster-slaying and dungeon-delving. She also has stacks of MAXINT of every worthwhile item, thanks to her friend who hooked her up when it was just a game, so she has nothing to do except farm, romance the locals, terraform the blighted wastelands, and induct her minions into the ways of the System. And occasionally get kidnapped, but whatever.

Read (manga): Skygrazer (Masakazu Ishiguro): Linked series of shorts around a future housing development, with murder mysteries, normal teenagers, robots, bioroids, rape, tragedy, everyone coming to a bad end.

Written (catgirl): 184.

I had some chocolate mints, but I eated them. I guess I also have Thin Mints in the freezer, but those are for Marith.

Went to the office, ate chicken guys that were nicely crunchy but too spicy, did a few works, probably should have done more.

Read (graphic novel): The Pirate Princess (Luca Frigerio, Lorenza Pigliamosche, Simon Bowland): Daughter of the pirate is raised on an idyllic island, finally gets dragged back into pirate intrigue, finds out about her family, adventure, betrayal, but all on such fast forward it wasn’t very interesting.

Written (catgirl): 140 new words.

But… only one per hand?!

Played (Changeling the Lost): Ken’s 90s game. Our n00bs finally find a good squat, an abandoned Japanese import warehouse with a bunch of leftover Hello Kitty dolls and a room that Siddy can fill with cozy furniture and cats at only a small secret cost in blood. The next day, finally well-rested (except Thessaly, who has been bed-surfing all along), they go down to Telegraph to meet Troll (yes) and swap him some copper wire looted from the warehouse while Siddy set up her mending-while-u-wait business. Theophania has no useful skills and is still hung up on cash money, so I think we see where part of her personal journey has to go. (Outside the box, although she’d rather go– anyway.)

Read (manga): Pulse vol 1 (Ratana Satis): She’s a heart surgeon who sleeps around and scorns romance, she’s a romantic young heart patient who scorns a transplant, together they make an obvious bet.

Written (catgirl): 122 of fixing minor issues. Soon I will be able to start adding new stuff.

 

As long as it doesn’t need any public funding, I guess.

Had to work half a day, but nothing actually happened until it was already time to hand off to the next region.

Watched (live action): Lockwood & Co 8: Another Lockwood plan that should have gotten them all killed, some light betrayal, but everything somehow turns out okay in the end. So much setup for a next season, which I presume will never happen because Netflix.

Read (comic): Rainbow vol 1 (Sunny & Gloomy): A reread from Webtoons, this first volume about a girl with a vivid imagination(?) and a terrible mother goes about as far as I read before. It is very cute, although also kind of dark.

Written (catgirl): Reread from the beginning of the current iteration and made 113 of quick typo fixes and notes on inconsistencies

Gaming was cancelled because Jeremy feels poorly, so I went grocery shopping instead. It was not as fun.

Today’s thought about gaming is that any mechanic requiring a number that isn’t already specifically written out in front of the person who needs it is a bad mechanic because it won’t get used. Not sure whether this means I should use a roll-under mechanic and have a roll-off when there’s specific opposition (my current path), or have target numbers and put one or more default TNs in all stat blocks and area descriptions.

Read (manga): Does It Count If You Lose Your Virginity To An Android? vol 3 (Yakinikuteishoku): Main character’s childhood friend who always loved her has shown up, and the sexaroid is exercising her advanced sapience functions by being jealous. Also lots and lots of lesbian sex and sex play. Little, if any, redeeming social value.

Written (game design): 349.

Go hippos! Eat the humans!

Coworker A who normally covers weekend days is out, so I had to be on call this PM. Only one case, which is a problem for Future Me (or maybe even Future Somebody Else) anyway.

Apparently Jus has dumped her girlfriend and gotten a boyfriend (who sounds very nice). I had to tease her about not being a very good lesbian.

Watched (anime): Bungo Stray Dogs 3.10-11 (35-36): Of course the solution they settle on is to go somewhere and murder each other. Good thing their subordinates are smarter, even if only slightly.

Read (manga): The Evil Secret Society of Cats vol 1 (Pandania): Four-panel comics about sentai supervillain cats plotting to distract and/or charm humans.

Written (game design): 268 somehow.

Books for all!

Except me, I don’t think I have enough brain for book.

Read (manga): The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses vol 2 (Koume Fujichika): It’s romance, so I guess appropriate for today, and the leads are cute, but I feel like boys should never be allowed to try to engage in romance, their brains are just not up to the task. Girls should just pick out who they want.

Written (game design): 153 numbers in a table.
