Live action Laputa commercial promoting a drink that Aijinomoto produced. Just love the production values you get in these vintage Japanese CMs. Like little fanfilms. youtu.be/REUvSmsPzlI

No arguments here, but it wasn't just the suits calling the shots. You had proper teams of voice actors and writers working in some hectic conditions and they were forced to come up with some moments that turned out memorable.

Tbf I think she sees her time as bittersweet. She had some choice words for how Haim Saban handled the show but clearly she appreciated the fandom enough to write a comic. Clearly she knows it did some good for her career.

In their own weird way, those 80s/90s hack jobs from Saban and Streamline or even 4Kids are their own kind of creativity.

Oh lord. I unironically side-talked into my phone just know to pick up a delivery. I never even owned an N-Gage. Nokia was a psy-op.

Saw this meme and I did it. Opening line to Neuromancer.

Centered text reads “The sky above
the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel”

Finally get a weekend to sleep in. Wake up at 5am due to dreams/nightmares about your job. This scene comes to mind as I try to go back to sleep. youtu.be/dCO-ZsoRvxE

To be fair, those were the opening episodes before they went to Black RX stuff. ZO/J were the most recent shows with incredible production value that would hook the kiddies.

The game predates the show airing by at least a year and afaik, neither ever directly promoted the other nor shared staff. I figure the Sega CD game was cheap to license and cash in on the MMPR and FMV bandwagon.

Fun Fact: a lot of Square Soft's early hits, including the original Final Fantasy, had their core code PROGRAMMED BY NASIR, an Iranian-American.

After a day of painkiller-induced anxiety (it happens), it's to play everyone's favorite game, in which I go to bed so I can wake up and find out just how big a war crime occurred overnight.

Phones weren't always palantirs perverted by the empires of evil. Once upon a time they looked a little bit like Starfleet communicators. That era lingered in Japan until now, but it's finally over - farewell to the flip phone. www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2026/03...

With the end of 3G, Japan's beloved flip phones go dark

More than 500,000 users and their retro phones will lose access to the network from March 31.

I remember when Epic was Epic Megagames and it was just so neat that it was a genuine innovator in game development. Their shareware titles were befitting of the name, providing console-like experiences for practically nothing when the PC was more of a business tool and less a gaming device.

The BlueSky hive mind has been consistently disappointing when it comes to non-political or memey things. But I've noticed people posting some thoughtful takes on generally obscure media unprompted. Surely there must be way to combine peanut butter and jelly?

Good classic(ish) short stories anyone on #BookSky might know? Preferably slice-of-life(y). PoC authors also nice.

Watch of the Day: the Casio AE1200. Between this and yesterday's AE1200, you don't really need another watch. Five time zones, five alarms, stopwatch, timer, analog and digital time topped off with a sweet world map. It's nicknamed for James Bond for a reason.

Watch of the Day: the Casio A168. Elegance defined. Fancy enough to be dressy, casual enough to be sporty. You can really just get this and never need another ticky tock gadget again.

Sora, the protagonist from Kingdom Hearts, poses with a peace sign over the grave of a bad computer program. It's also called "Sora," I think, but it's so unimportant it's barely worth mentioning.

Watch of the Day and it's a doozy - an Invicta ProDiver 0070. It's big. It's bulky. It was given to me by my mother in law for my 40th and I try not to overthink the subtext of choosing this. Nonetheless, it's my Lucky Watch. When I know tough times are ahead, this is what I wear.

The bulky Invicta Prodiver quartz chronograph. Ridiculous size, yet actually a decent timekeeper and it's done well for me when I've been under observation.
