It's both the longest and the last major work of German literature.


Oh no my high ...

i do seniors workouts when i feel depressed and i want to move, but a whole workout seems too daunting. this one by Lucy Wyndham-Read is really fun. this mobility/stretching video by Yuri Marmerstein is really good too.


I feel slightly weird giving life advice, but I think the biggest thing ...

Both frameworks share the same problem: identifying a figure who could stand outside the corrupting influences of power and make decisions that transcend mere legal form or political expediency.

What is the first visual novel you've ever played, and what were your initial impressions of the medium?
