Hello World!

Welcome… to “The World” ~Ovan to Haseo, .hack//GU A favourite quote from the .hack//GU video game of the popular .hack video game and anime series. This also serves as this website/blog’s obligatory “hello world” – the first line of text that all programmers have printed out at one point or another at the start of their hacking journey ^_^ This website will serve as my main blog and info dump for the various personal and online projects that I work on.

Custom Saber Dakimakura and Arcueid Couch Cover

Hobby Heart is an online dakimakura store that, alongside a pretty wide selection of dakimakuras and bed sheets/duvet covers, also provides custom printing services. It is run by a single person by the name of Fong. In this article, I review two custom items purchased: a custom Arcueid bed sheet (used as a couch cover) and a custom Saber dakimakura. http://www.hobbyheart.com/ (*NSFW*) Picture containing my custom Saber dakimakura and custom Arcueid couch cover among other TYPE-MOON linens/etc
