About Randilee Pajari
I'm a Pacific Northwest native who writes dieselpunk fantasy novels. It's my philosophy to write the sort of stories that I would enjoy reading. I also get distracted by shiny things, like gaming, RPGs, comic books, movies, music, hiking, art, and awesomeness.

Blog postI run Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon and I’m enjoying the explosion of games available for the platform. One of these is XCOM 2. (A current release! Oh, be still my fluttering heart!) Vanilla, the game ran just fine, but I’m not a vanilla sort of girl. I crave mods. Sweet, juicy mods that enhance the game without turning it into a cheating bastard. Problem was, the launcher only successfully loaded once out of ten or more tries when mods were installed.

Blog postWhile rummaging through my shelves and crates to find empty three-ring binders, I found one old binder stuffed full with notes and drawings for an old novel in progress under the working title of Interregnum. Nestled among the pages was a printed copy of the story. This particular copy of Interregnum was the last complete draft printed, dating to 2005. Ten years ago.
Past the sharp scents of old paper and aging plastic, I recalled sitting in plazas and study rooms during my last unive5 years ago Read more -
Blog postOur selected anime today is Gugure! Kokkuri-san, streaming at Crunchyroll.
Here’s the summary as Crunchyroll tells it: Kohina Ichimatsu, the self-proclaimed doll, called out the fox ghost Kokkuri-san with a suspicious incantation! But it was a story of the past where Kokkuri-san was able to answer any question you had. Nowadays, it relies on a certain search engine, but is actually bad at anything digital.

Blog postOur selected anime today is Karen Senki, streaming at Crunchyroll.
Here’s the summary as Crunchyroll tells it: Karen leads the human resistance group, “11”. Having lost her little sister Touka in the war against these evolving machines, Karen’s strong motivation to save humanity is personal and raging for victory. Slowly growing distant and detached to numb her grief, Karen wants to inflict the same pain onto the machines as they have done to her. Can machines feel pain like hu6 years ago Read more -
Blog postOur selected anime for review today is Akatsuki no Yona, streaming at Crunchyroll.
Here’s the summary as Crunchyroll tells it: Currently, Hiryuu Palace has no one else next in line for the throne other than the fifteen year old princess, Yona, who had been raised with care. Finally, the night of her sixteenth birthday arrives. She expects it to be a wonderful day spent with her peace-loving father, Il, her servant and friend Hak, and her cousin Soo-won, who she had feelings for… Howev6 years ago Read more -
Blog postDoes it live up to the hype? As with most other games, the answer is no. Not that it’s a bad thing. It’s just not my thing.
tl;dr summary: This is a Korean grinder with an interesting economy mechanic – if you’re a paying “patron”. Otherwise, it’s just a Korean grinder. If you have the time and money to burn, you might be sucked in after level 30, if you like grinding.

Blog post『Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno / The Legend Ends』 Trailer (English)
Normally, I’m not too interested in live action adaptations of manga/anime, but these two upcoming films have my attention. One, it’s the Kyoto arc of Rurouni Kenshin, and two, it actually looks decently done. The characters are recognizable without much alteration from their original designs, yet are translated into live action without looking horribly silly. It’s nice to recognize scenes from the arc in the trailer7 years ago Read more -
Blog postSo, where have the reviews been?
We tried to get through the first episodes of the Winter 2014 knockout list and ended up despairing for humanity. There are other things we need to do instead of torturing ourselves with bad anime for twelve weeks. Instead, I followed Log Horizon and AstralRuby followed Samurai Flamenco. I do recommend Log Horizon.
What about Spring 2014? Well, it’s not looking good either. Do we really need multiple show implying incest and a couple implying p7 years ago Read more -

Years ago, my then roommate had a betta fish that I wanted to make something like this for. He was such a lonely fish and often looked like he wanted to follow us. In one of my old sketchbooks, there’s some drawings of a fish-controlled tank on wheels. That someone else had the same idea and actually built it delights me to no end.
