“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
— Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago

good news! the vita came today even though it was supposed to come on monday!
better news! the console is actually in pretty good condition. there are a few little dings on the screen and what looks to be the outline of glue remnants from a screen protector, but that's not a huge issue and i'm sure when i'm playing it i won't even notice. if it gets to be a big deal i can swap it out super easily. however, i can't test the thing yet because...
bad news! it didn't come with a charging cable. but, i ordered one just now from amazon for $10, should get here by tomorrow morning.
hey, i'm not complaining. i'll have everything ready to go way earlier than i thought :)
mainly post about music and games, and share art from artists i like.
obviously i don't condone any sort of abuse/exploitation irl, go fuck yourself.
currently learning japanese.
