I met the nurse through a mutual friend. Our first date was at a coffee shop where we talked until it closed. I said goodbye in the parking lot and turned to leave. She called out to me, asking, “aren’t you going to kiss me?” so naturally I turned around kissed her. The kiss felt like fireworks, kisses I’d only heard about and kisses I thought were fake. I was horribly desperate and lonely at that time and she probably knew that but our chemistry was real. She was (is) incredibly smart and it intimidated me in a good way. We had a couple of dates in the few months we knew each other. She was busy and had other lovers; she should have as many as she wanted. One of them was a prolific latex creator and the last time we saw each other was at his house. The nurse caged me for a while, then secured me to a Saint Andrew’s cross and whipped me thoroughly. I experienced many things for the first time that night and it was rapture. Afterwards she washed me in a rain shower and I could barely speak. I was weak then and didn’t know how to dedicate myself to her, which I consider one of my worst failures. She has a key to a room in my heart.
When I was 16 I briefly loved a girl who self identified with Alice from Alice in Wonderland and she called me her Mad Hatter. She told me she hallucinated dead people hanging in doorways. She was a dancer and a good one, with gentle, intentional hands. It was the first time I’d ever felt seen and loved by a girl. We kissed in the rafters of the theater and I felt grateful that she wanted to kiss me of all people. So was our little fantasy for about a month, short and sweet before we drifted apart. She has a key to a room in my heart.

Cats May Hold the Key to Treating Human Cancer - Science News
A large international study has mapped the genetic landscape of feline cancers for the first time, revealing striking similarities between tumor-driving mutations in cats, humans, and dogs. The genetics of cat tumors are no longer a “black box,” according to researchers behind a new study that represents one of the most significant advances in feline […]

“Doggy Design Update”
Blue flame, dark pinkish maroon jumpsuit.
…Probably will change it back to blue, tbh.
He’s like a shorter, “cattier” version of Kanine. Much more chatty, cartoonish New Yorker/italian accent.
He’s mostly one to gripe and complain to King, not much of one to legitimately argue with outsiders.
Bickers with King in a playful way.
Her design had felt “off” somehow, before.
Feels more right, now, but still needs work.
Doggy goes by male or female pronouns and is physically female, by Flamoid standards, but has a male voice and “effiminate male” mannerisms.
Most read him as “male” and he identifies as such.
He sometimes uses female pronouns in certain social contexts, and doesn’t mind of others do the same, if not done so to insult.
Sometimes he likes if he confuses people in this regard, but he doesn’t do it on purpose or play around with it, in the same way like Joseph does.
If Kanine’s age range is late 30s early 40s, then Doggy is age late teens, early 20s.
….I don’t exactly know where either of them will fit into the story, yet.
Kanine is definitely less present than Doggy often is, though, I know that much.

AIR - 7/10
My first real mainline Key game, this game is a mess but has some brilliance at points. Unfortunately, the interesting parts of this clearly inspired some of the most well-known visual novels of all time which ended up doing what AIR was trying to do better. Telling you the VNs this inspired would spoil both them and AIR so I’ll refrain.
Honestly if the art wasn’t so bad it would’ve been a lot more enjoyable. I kept getting distracted by bad anatomy during big emotional moments and it genuinely took away from my experience.
The highlight of this game is the voice acting. Holy fucking shit is it good, RIP Kawakami Tomoko because she gave the performance of a lifetime. Hisakawa Aya really blew me away towards the end too.
The first half of this game kinda sucks and doesn’t really get good until the later half of Minagi’s route, peaking in the 4th route, SUMMER. The true ending was a bit too predictable for a Key game and felt kind of lame. The main theme, parents, is just done better in WA2 (the visual novel ruiner).
I’d recommend this game more as a time capsule rather than as an actual VN to enjoy in modern day. There’s a lot better Key games even.
T20 World Cup 2026: From Samson to Axar—Five key factors in India’s title triumph
The Sanju factor
The introduction of Sanju Samson came as a timely intervention for India’s floundering top order in this T20 World Cup.
In the first five matches, India’s opening partnership averaged 6.80. Samson was not included in the line-up in four of these, with Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma making the cut instead.
In the next four, starting with the Super Eight match against Zimbabwe,…
