I watched Demi-chan when it came out; some episodes landed for me and some really didn't. But it was always at its best when Hikari was chewing on something.

Feels like we're slowly getting from what the game feels like it needs to say, to what it actually wants to say. I hope so, anyway. Also, Mom's portrait has this slightly trollish smirk to it, like she's hiding out in a nearby tree and totally knows she's interrupting something.

For more on this topic, I recommend Dreadnought by Robert K. Massie, which offers vivid portraits of many of the outsize personalities involved in these decisions, and The Sleepwalkers by Christopher Clark, which makes a deep dive into how pre-WWI European foreign policy worked (it didn't, really.)

To compress a complicated topic down to a paragraph, British foreign policy since they stopped pretending they still had a chance of taking over France has boiled down to keeping the smelly Europeans occupied in their continent, leaving their blessed isles alone. After they got Napoleon’s exile to finally stick, they gave modern Belgium and Luxembourg to the Netherlands, hoping to make local counterbalance against France and Prussia. The Dutch immediately hosed it up and drove it into open revolt. The British basically stepped in and work out a compromise with everyone involved; the rebelling territories were now their own brand-new kingdom named after the old Roman province in the area because nobody could think of anything better, then publicly promised to go to war with anyone that tried to mess with them. The Netherlands wasn’t happy, but they were told they got to keep Luxembourg and could otherwise get hosed. Belgium industrialized fast, solidified its nascent national identity, and developed a strong enough reputation for neutrality the European powers ended up giving them a huge chunk of Africa to commit crimes against humanity in when they couldn’t agree would get it. By the time the Germans tried to flank France as World War I kicked off by going through Belgium, the UK already favored France (their mutual hatred had devolved into an anime rivalry) over Germany (which might have been strong enough to violate the smelly Europeans clause), but Belgium sealed the deal and let them finally move in.

Trying to remember all the pro pumpkin-carving strategies, but I haven't done it in something like two decades. I think one year I hollowed out the pumpkin from the bottom instead of the top, but I'm not sure why.Falconier111 posted:

Exercise has been doing me good lately... or at least I think it has. Maybe.
