hi hi im rean and this blog will serve as my psuedo-intellectualism chamber. i'm not sure if i'm going to stick to this platform for archiving, but it's definitely better than twitter where i can actually tag any writeups or text dumps for future reference.

as of the time of writing this, i am 21 and carrying two degrees. yippee! i'm into cybersec but also a hobbyist artist. i try to write things that i think are important, but they're probably quite stupid.
i am huge into 80s mecha and i am trying very hard to archive posters/official art, eventually i aim to help get some scanlations in order with some buddies. i also have a huge interest in anything tangential with the cold war (except for some reason i could not care less about politicians. this is curious).

here's some shit i like.
anime: gasaraki, argento soma, spt layzner, votoms, mellowlink, insert garbage 80s OVAs, irredeemable bl+moeshit and circlejerk /a/ elitist shows here
manga: any of takayuki yamaguchi's works, most go nagai stuff (violence jack ftw!!!), homunculus, guyver, berserk, akira, fss (not for plot, but character designs..)
movies: nails, happiness, inland empire (most lynch things anyways), videodrome, stalker, solaris, barton fink, network
tv: twin peaks, x-files, barry, bcs/breaking bad, star trek (ds9 my favorite), kolchack, the rockford files, whatever 70s-80s crime dramas i'm probably missing
music: forum (and other 80s ssr shit), kidorikko, chakra, airmail from nagasaki, genesis, xtc, steely dan, yes, nine inch nails, machines of loving grace, of montreal, rem, goreshit, prefab sprout, picasso
vidya: planet laika, all the kill the past games, gen3-4 pokemon (especially pmd), garage a bad dream adventure, fear and hunger, killer instinct, plok, baroque, metal gear, hotline miami, early final fantasy, mother, megami tensei, silent hill, 90s point and click/text based games, ryona games
general: the weather channel, satellites/space race, cold war, nuclear development, ham radio, martial arts, las vegas, building facades, re, plamo, airplanes
i'm absolutely fogetting things. whatever


hopefully i don't forget this site exists in coming weeks. cheers!

given that i finally have a spot to put this somewhere, here's a heartfelt paragraph on that accursed space probe

The Voyager probes are humanity's greatest achievement. Not only did we reach out past the limits of our solar system, but we cried out to the universe to tell it that mankind exists. Or maybe that mankind existed.

We provided a record of our existence. That we're capable of death and destruction, but also creativity, love, and tradition, for better or for worse. We tried our best to encapsulate music and culture for the enjoyment of whatever else stumbles upon it. Perhaps it was a shot in the dark. Maybe, it will get crushed, turned to dust, or simply be regarded by others as trash. But it was an attempt at a kind of immortality, to trace the word with our fingertips. None of us know how many cultures and civilizations crumbled before us. I'm sure that other civilizations tried their hardest to quantify events and science and things they loved, but so much of it has been wiped. Even in recent years, so much information has been lost and now there seems to be a path paved for more of it to vanish. Who says that all record of our existence won't be lost? Maybe it is selfish to think that we are so important, when in fact any changes we make in the grand scheme of the universe has no cosmic effect on anything at all. But what if we really are the only ones? There's no way for us to know really. By extending our hand to the great unknown we showed it the heartbeat of the world. The Earth's heart may stop but its memory is preserved there.
