Yesterday my Hokkaido friend came for a short trip, I have spend a whole afternoon with her. We strolled in the nice parks near waterfront, enjoyed nice supper together. It was good to chat for hours with a friend whom I hadn’t met nearly one year. And on our walking I noticed how the trees looked green and lively! Soon 8’ll find the sign of early summer…
Three Weeks for Dreamwidth is coming up! If you don't know what that is, it's basically 3 weeks of making Dreamwidth-only content to create more activity and love for the site. If possible, it's encouraged to link to Dreamwidth posts/communities/etc. on other sites to make people more interested in the place :] But you don't have to do that, or really anything if you don't want to, obviously. It runs from April 25th to May 15th. You can see what other people plan on doing @3weeks4dreamwidth.
As for me, among other things, I plan on encouraging more activity in my communities. So if you like visual kei or Japanese rock music or really edgy aesthetics or your demon hand that thirsts for blood, you should join vkotd if you haven't already. I'm going to be holding a new challenge soon :3 And by the end of it you may be... rewarded. Or not. Depends.
Also I made joseimuke on impulse the other day, which is completely unasked for and blank, but if you like shoujo and josei animanga or otome games or a little BL or some yuri or those phone games where the cast is 99% bishounen/seinen or etc. feel free to join early and see what I'm cooking. Everything you see there right now is very provisional.
Join my comms 🙏🏾 Make your friends join my comms 🙏🏾 Make your friends' friends join my comms 🙏🏾 Or don't, it's all good. I just want more activity on Dreamwidth -- so if you want to start a community, you should! Now's a pretty good time to start making one. Anyone else got plans for 3w4dw?

Today it’s raining all day again, sometimes heavily! The temperature is not much low still it’s quite uncomfortable to go out in the rain - going to the office, and the public bath X(
Though the weather forecast says that we’d have good weather on this weekend, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. It’s good, for my friend living in Hokkaido is coming to Tokyo and Yokohama this weekend. But they say tomorrow we’ll have the temperature of early summer :( It’s difficult to choose the suitable clothes! X)
Out bathtub is now outside of the entrance door, they would put it in the bathroom again on the coming Sunday…
Battledroids, a game of armored combat, FASA, 1984 – This is the 1st edition of the game that was rereleased the following year as BattleTech due to Lucasfilm claiming ownership of the word “droid.” Alan Gutierrez’ box art depicts a WHM6R Warhammer mech, and was used on the first 3 editions (1e Battledroids 1984, 2e BattleTech 1985, and first English printings of 3e 1992).
These early editions included mech designs like the Warhammer that were derived from anime art, licensed from plastic model importer Twentieth Century Imports. FASA later discontinued these after disputes over licensing and they became known as the “Unseen” mechs, sometimes mentioned in lore but no longer depicted in miniature or game art.
