X-chan how come there aren't more updates?! Are you being lazy again?? What kind of way is this to start the new year???
@[ DR. XADiUM ]6:36 AM
I've just been so tired and drained lately, ever since the holidays ended. It's taking all I have just to be able to focus on getting the bare minimum of tasks done.
[gTV]C'est_la_V6:36 AM
Are you sick??

Xadium just doesn't have an immune system, does he?
@[ DR. XADiUM ]6:37 AM
I might be a little under the weather but it's more than that.
I have zero motivation to do anything even when I have some time.
It's like I'm in a perpetual brain fog.

We've been here before Xadium-san. Remember way back when the site started and things weren't quite going so well in the world?
You're experiencing the unbearable weight of what it means to live in 2025. A new, more virulent pandemic is on the horizon, idiots intent on burning down civilization are in charge, and every new dawn is a fresh assault on decency, morality and ethics. Only this time out the deck is stacked EVEN harder.
It's mentally crushing and soul-destroying to even exist as a person of conscience right now. It's like they're trying to speedrun Dr. Strangelove, Blade Runner and Idiocracy all at the same time. You've even got a literal Bond Villain technocrat openly flexing on the world stage.

Ugh, tell me about it, Hotaru-chan. Sometimes I ask myself "what the f[BLEEP]k have we even been fighting for?". Like we do all this work to save the world from evil time and time again and people just... on their own decide to sleepwalk into it. And are HAPPY about it!

This is why you do-gooders always amuse me. You're the motherf[BLEEP]kers always trying to ice skate uphill. Just embrace the chaos and enjoy the ride down. All my Dark Kingdom corporate interests are doing great. The line just keeps going up and up and up. Who knew that a society built on screwing over workers and fattening the wallets of the billionaire capitalist class could be so relaxing if you're just willing to throw little things like ethics and morality out the window? At this point, the money just prints itself!
...you know he only wants it because it looks big on a Mercator Projection map, yeah? If he actually got it, he'd been crying that he'd been ripped off because the land was smaller than advertised.
(Much like how Stormy Daniels must have felt when the trousers came down....)
Whatever happened to them, boss? They got really quiet ever since that raid last year. The hospitals and stuff are still going but none of the weird Senshi-monster "Shambles" things have shown up at all.

I'd love to say we shut them down but my guess is they're doing the smart thing and laying super low.
My gut tells me that with all that's going on in the world though, they'll be perking up sooner rather than later.
Not really looking forward to that heating up again.

Can we all just hop in the TARDIS and fast forward past the next four years please
