Rewatching Bubblegum Crisis again since I was a kid. This 1987 OVA literally rocks as a sci-fi remake of Streets of Fire (1984) where killer androids are called “Boomers.” A true to modern life premise: Men suck. “Boomers” and cops make everything worse. #retroanime #ova #animegoldenera

Diane Lane performs “Nowhere Fast,” center stage, in the opening sequence to Streets of Fire (1984) with her backing band standing behind her.

Animated OVA Bubblegum Crisis character performs “There’s a Hurricane Tonight,” center stage, with her backing band and green lasers flashing on the screen.

Police “Boomer” Character sketch by Toshimichi Suzuki with police uniform and biomechanics head / helmet.

Bubblegum Crisis lead characters left-to-right: Linna Yamazaki, Sylia Stingray, Priscilla (Priss) Asagiri, Nene Ramonova. Posing behind the Japanese language title wearing their Knight Saber body armor without helmets.

On 9/11/2001, James Cameron was deep underwater, exploring the remains of the sunken Titanic. When he resurfaced, actor Bill Paxton blurted out “The worst terrorist attack in history, Jim”. This is a LARP to experience what I believe happened out in the ocean that day. superdillin.itch.io/jim

I’m selling the remaining straggler OMENDROME postcards at ACE this weekend as individual art cards… and noticed this cheeky guy peaking out of the bunch.

14 vertical glossy postcards featuring the faces and profiles of various sci-fi horror NPCs.

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.

“In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5', I had an uncanny experience, and on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this mean? Neither one of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder.”

We are once again (and always) looking for recommendations! We are especially looking for short to mid-length games by marginalized designers! The longest games we are typically able to cover with the detail that we like are around 60-70 pages, but we prefer shorter for most months.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAl is.
GenAl is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Not just that but Tolkien also said, "Evil cannot create anything new, it can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made."
Sound familiar?
Misha Loren
Just now
The analogy of the One Ring for GenAl is quite powerful, especially when you consider how it seduces users with the promise of easy power. That quote about evil being unable to create anything new feels particularly relevant to the way these models remix existing human art. It really makes you wonder if we're trading our creative soul for a shortcut.
