The Star Chicken will be a witch patron or nothing at all.

Or did I misunderstand?Depends on how you define hipster.
As I prefer older series that have already been completed, and openly mock spin offs and bad sequels, many would point to that and say "hipster".
However, from the perspective of what many hipsters seem to be into- which is to say largely deconstructionist fare- I would say no

i do find it strange myself, but EVA is so mindblowing and out of the box on so many levels, I cannot help but enjoy it. That said it is not a part of my annual anime fest.

Too grim for me. And while I enjoy a good mindtrip, EVA isn't mindtrippy in a fun way like TTGL or FLCL is.

This usually takes a lot of time (alot of time? *scribble-scribble*) on GOG Galaxy.
If I was writing nuWho, I'd have the Alot of Time team up with the new 13th Doctor.

I'm so happy, I have a game story to share for once!
Earlier in the year I had pretty much given up on DMing, due to serious adventure-writer's block, and general adulting making it difficult to get friends together to play. But last weekend Homunculus #1 said he wanted to play, and Mrs Sunrise helped me get thru my writer's block enough to write a simple fetch-quest.
So yesterday Homunculus #1, Mrs Sunrise, and Yellow gathered around our dining room table to play, and it was a smashing success! They talked their way past some goblin highwaymen, handily defeated an elemental deva, and then retreated from a daemonic temple after losing a greedy party-member to zombies. Homunculus #1 really wanted to save the doomed PC, which in retrospect shouldn't have surprised me, but finally fled with the rest of the party after I clarified how quickly the zombies can move.
Zombies are not slow in this game!
Yellow was very graceful about losing their character -- granted, they were playing two PCs so that we had a party of four, but I could tell that it hurt. Everyone is psyched about playing again next weekend, including me!
How did Yellow get too greedy thus losing his PC? It could be written as a Aesop D&D fable!
Well I can't write stuff so I guess I don't need to deal with writers block^^
Just take up an AP, read from it...what could possibly go wrong?

AesopD&D fable!
There once was a dark elven archer named Ely, with few hit points to spare. When her party encountered a daemonic temple, Ely entered despite their warnings of 'beware!' When Ely saw the crucified man behind the altar of blood, she cried 'I want to rob him!' despite further warnings of 'beware!'
Only as she rifled through the poor crucified man's pockets for gold, did Ely realize that six more crucified men adorned the temple's other walls, and that they were neither living nor dead -- and only as they feasted on her flesh did she reconsider her life choices.
(No, never did she reconsider stealing from the dead; but she did think that maybe she should have done some scouting before!)

I have this weird pride, where I want to be a special snowflake and write my own adventures; and yet doing so is like climbing Everest. :/

I haven't bought myself pants (well, except for pajama pants) in ages. In fact I don't think that I bought more than two or three pairs of pants in my life myself.
Because my mother was a tailor and bought a lot of cheap pants for adjustments, I ended with getting jeans when she picked up something.
And in more recent years I got a few pairs of pants as a birthday present from my practically-minded friends (having children does that to people), and one pair of pants were part of military uniform I got last year when I worked at Polish Aviation Museum.

Battletech
Despite the annoying loading times the game is good. Not great, though, but good. It isn't an exact transfer of Battletech game to computer medium, the mechanics behind the game seem to be different, like the scale of damage (Med Laser 25 damage, 10 heat) and the interface could be better (e.g. heat is a small bar to the side, and the weapons don't immediately show range or heat produced).

I love rhymes! And sadly most lewt greedy adventurers get away with it, because they’d probably get a cleric to channel positive energy to get rid of undead. (Or does neither living nor dead mean they are unaffected by positive energy channel?)
Maybe poke the body with a 10-ft pole. We use 10-ft poles for everything!

So the weekend has concluded and I ready for bed. This was Aiymi's and my chance to celebrate Zelda's "I'm still not 40" birthday. Took her out to a non-Cracker Barrel or Bob Evans place to have breakfast. Local place called Childers. Good breakfasts. Fantastic breakfasts. Haven't been there for other meals yet.
Then drive to the north side of Chicago. Blue Man Group, 3rd row in the middle. She loved it.
Drive to Grafton's Pub near Lincoln and Montrose. Remember that driving down Clark when the Cubs are playing at home and it's the 8th inning is generally prohibited by the city of Chicago, for they seem to think that 39000 pedestrians are a driving hazard that is impossible to overcome. I disagree, but the cops disagreed with me, so alternate routes had to be found...which made me have to find an alternate route for the alternate route because of a BBQ Ribs Festival of some kind that took up several blocks of Lincoln and they had closed traffic for that too. Fine...alternate route for the alternate route.
Dinner at Grafton's was good.
Had some time to kill, so we went to one of the largest game stores in Chicago, up on Broadway and Bryn Mawr. Chicagoland Games and Dice Dojo or something like that.
After that, we went to Uptown Underground on Broadway. Kiss Kiss Cabaret performed at 7:30. Modern take on a Vaudeville cabaret, complete with burlesque. That was followed up with Strip Joker, which is where the stand-up comedians slowly strip while performing.
Zelda loved absolutely all of it. Wonderful dancing, good comics.
By the time we got out of there it was about 12:15 Sunday morning, and again, we're on the north side of Chicago and have to get back to Peoria. We didn't book a hotel because we thought Zelda had to work on Sunday. Turns out she didn't. The fog had rolled in thick off Lake Michigan. Lake Shore Drive was difficult even with light traffic. Got on I55 and headed away from the lake, which helped the fog situation. The rain, however, kicked in hard. Big storms and nearly impossible-to-see-the-road downpours. Didn't get home until 3:30am.
The cats were not amused.

Otaku might be less interested in cat-girls if they realized that there is a really good likelihood that they would have sandpaper tongues.
as cat girls have softened animal features it is more likely that their tongues have stimulating grooves instead of rough sandpaper.

avocados are easy to cut through. Many toss the knife into it willy nilly, relying on the pit to stop the blade.
