pretending to be a writer for a second and actually putting down my lore for a minute:

Megiddo Ichi, right? A dark avenger trying to find the right backing to take revenge on those who robbed them of identity and humanity.

Middle rank IT person promised a promotion from their higher ups, unaware that it was a forced induction into a cult as a test subject.

Eventually having their brain, heart, stomach, lungs and voicebox harvested and placed in a synthetic body meant to fuse with a channeling conduit for evil spirits and turn them into a super soldier.

They just happened to fuck up on two fronts, one being failure to strip the personality from the brain, and the other being aiming too high in the demon they wished to capture. Which led to the person who would become Ichi being empowered by a high ranking punishment devil from Judecca in the 9th circle

This duke, who in time would be called Jude, grounded the subject to keep them from suffering ego death, but couldn't restore their memory, so she serves sort of as the angry advisor living in a jail cell only coming out when there's work to be done.

They both want revenge, knowing they can no longer return to the life they had. Hence trying to amass a following of likeminded individuals. Society's unwanted, the impoverished, the kind but disenfranchised. United under a banner of ripping out the throats of shadow societies and their sycophants.

Good Morning Batheads.

It's the beginning of a rather daunting week for me, so rather than dwelling on it, let's get to know one another.

Tell me something about yourself in my inbox you feel is worth sharing. I'm all ears as usual.

Tonight's Stream - Fallout: New Vegas

It's time for a desert-faring escapade as we act on the other follower incentive to go with our mid-season upgrade.

Which means, the batheads build my very first Courier in a blind new vegas run.

Come show me the ropes, tonight at 6PM CST.

Good Morning Batheads.

It's every day that I'm grateful for the chance to improve and strive for better, especially in my own physical training. Your Chief Bathead wants to be stronger, and we're making it happen.

Good Morning, Batheads.

I hope this Labor Day can be a moment to reflect on your hard work and efforts these last nine months and look forward to the rewards to come.

(Also, I should really watch Homestar Runner)

hey i got a questions. whats... a good starting point to get into tokusatsu? i know its a long running genre with a lot going on, but my knowledge is limited to osmosis via power rangers and a small amount of super sentai. oh and viewtiful joe

To be honest it really depends on what you're after. Since Toku can kinda go anywhere and far beyond Kamen Rider and Sentai, you don't exactly lack options for where you want to go with it. To give some ideas of what I recommend tho:

Kamen Rider Black(1987): Generally one of the most highly rated rider seasons and one of the best in the showa era for getting into the franchise in genera.

Kamen Rider Kuuga(2000): Best as a slow burn character drama as well as easing into the 2000s as a sort of rebirth season since the franchise took a bit of a hiatus in the 90s. Ultimately a really good starting point. Also directly available for streaming thanks to Shout Factory TV.

Chojin Sentai Jetman(1991): While I am less familiar with sentai, I know Jetman generally gets a lot of fanfare in terms of its writing and presentation(to the point that it's referenced heavily and visibly in persona to the point of being a major plot point in 2). It's also the season that came out directly before the season that became Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, so that's something to keep in mind.

Garo: Chapter of the Black Wolf(2005): Now this is the toku series I'm most familiar with. If you like mature, higher budget productions by toku alums for adult audiences, while also staying true to the nature of the henshin hero genre, you can't go wrong here. Also another easily accessible show due to being officially subbed on the Garo Project youtube channel.

Also Jam project. Love me some Jam project.

Also for some anime related recommendations.

Garo: The carved seal of flames(2014): Pre-JJK Mappa at its finest imo, in terms of animation, music, and staying true to the themes of the live action series. Plus CG that actually looks good and gets used well.

Samurai Flammenco(2013): A generally fun and fine show about a man following his dreams of being a hero. Mostly put here because no one talks about shows made by Studio Manglobe anymore(RIP).

Miss Kuroitsu from the Monster Development Department(2022): A dumb fun series about an evil faction that makes Kaijin. About what you'd expect in terms of 'girl responsible for evil science has to go through the board and deal with the local toku hero at the same time'.

Love after World Domination(2022): If you've ever seen that one clip of Gekisou Sentai Carranger, where the red ranger asks out the female villain general, this is what that show is essentially. Like word for word bar for bar.

Ranger Reject(currently airing): I could be unkind and call it the boys but Sentai, but I mean that in a good way. Essentially it's 'what if the rangers were evil and using the villain faction as everyday entertainment for the masses' and one lone foot soldier infiltrating their group. Generally highly recommended among most.

Still don't like them localizing it as "Go Go Loser Ranger" tho.

You know there's something to be said about recent goings on in the world, friends asking me why we can't be like other countries when executives abuse their power...

And happening on Judas and the Black Messiah and coming away from it angry.

what's the game you've spent the most time on?

By default probably ffxiv? Mostly because I got deep into it one unemployed winter in 2018 or whenever late stormblood started. And lacking a workable pc at the time, I actually ended up doing it mostly solo before buying a pc code. (A headache of weird version management that needs to be studied, especially by square itself)

All in all I ended up getting hooked all the way up to finishing 6.0 of endwalker. I could probably go back at any time, but a lot of my gaming time has been solely dedicated to streaming so we'll see where that goes.
