Since starting my website at the beginning of 2024 I've found a lot of joy in using the internet archive to browse random personal pages that are decades old. I've also been delving into more media that was created decades ago, too and being able to surf dedicated fansites that were created around the time the media was released has been extremely refreshing.

This diary is just for myself, sort of a personal brain dump of my thoughts and feelings as well as links to all the cool sites I've dug up from the past. I needed a place to store them so I can return to them time and time again without worrying they will be lost. If you're not me but you've ended up here feel free to enjoy my brain explosion.

Also if you are not me and you are considering watching/reading/experiencing any of the media mentioned in this diary I recommend researching the content first. Some of it contans dark/disturbing themes. But if you are me, then you already know this,,,

I'm probably going to spend some time looking at old Tokyo Mew Mew sites, the first anime I ever watched and loved,,, but August isn't here yet so that can wait

I finished watching Trigun '98 with Nik this month & followed it up with the 2023 Stampede remake. I've been looking through the fansites mostly trying to find some old web banners and ads to add to my collection but have also come across some really adorable adoptables and webrings. I feel so nostalgic for this anime I had never seen until now.

June 2024

I finally got around to playing Dramatical Murder, a game I had been hearing about for years but never dedicated any time to looking into further. At first I was unsure why people often talked about the 'shocking' things it contained, but as I played through and the stories got darker I understood where all the memes came from. I've also bought Slow Damage and Sweet Pool by the same developer, Nitro+ Chiral. Hopefully I enjoy them both just as much :)

As with all now discontinued merch and colectibles everything is well beyond my budget, but I'll be adding som figures to my collections list in the near future.

One of the best things that dmmd brought me to was finding music by GOATBED which I am enamoured by. The whole soundrack for dmmd is beutiful & I'm on the lookout for any GOATBED CDs I can get hold of!

This month I ordered Higurashi Daybreak for the PSP alongside some other JP only games. Since the PSP is not region locked like many other consoles it's been a good opportunity to practice reading Hirigana and Katakana. The game is admittedly terrible and the controls are awful. It's still fun owning this goofy, brightly coloured PSP game based off of the horrific story Higurashi tells. The official Higurashi website has been fun to browse through across different time frames that it's been crawled by the Internet Archive. There's consistently been new ad banners for the different iterations of the franchise that I've been eating up the aesthetics of.

April 2024

I finished watching all of Dragon Ball Z Kai with Nik and we've almost caught up with DB Super as well! This all began with DBZ Abridged that Leeli had me watch & it's been very strange and funny going from fan content being my introduction to watching the actual show. I did try to watch DBZ (no Kai) but the filler is insanely long in the beginning, even x2 speed wasn't getting me through that painlessly.

Of course the web archive is FILLED with fansites I've been able to browse to my heart's content. There's A LOT of Vegeta fansites, as there should be.
