THE Ghost In Shell is more faithful to the art of the manga, but the vibe is off for near-future Cyberpunk. The story is a half-reboot, that doesn't want to dwell on existing story, but leaves gaps for newcomers. I loved Stand Alone Complex and this just doesn't quite scratch that itch...

The Most Dangerous Games has a display stand that looks untouched at work. It came out on September 1st, let's see how it did...oof:

Wrestling! This is The New Level, a new AEW tag-team that combines Swerve Strickland and the former New Day. What are the New Day doing in AEW? Well...there's not a lot of job security in wrestling and WWE decided midcontract to offer an over 50% paycut. Then WWE released them after they refused...

Devil House by John Darnielle: Your first impression is a title and cover that invoke pulp 70/80s horror. You are wrong. You are surprised by the rare use of 2nd person. You are more surprised by it being a pair of fictional true crime stories. You are even more surprised about it being this good

None of the major parties are standing, so now it's just him and Count Binface standing. British politics are weird!

Yes, Count Binface is a real candidate. The character has had a surprisingly storied career as a protest/joke candidate.

No-one enjoys talking about politics*, so this post is now a fashion blog instead: You can usually tell how out-of-touch someone is by how they dress.

@midgi.bsky.social Bb's cake was a little...off. But I've fed the A.I. a lot of your personal/biometric data and a fair amount of real cake. So this should now be an image of your ideal cake:

@babybahamut.bsky.social I did something different this year - In order to produce the nicest cake, I spent hundred pounds on the most advanced A.I. image generation:

A nightmarish cake produced by A.I. and definitely not by me and paint.net

Due to getting older and gaining a tiny human, I haven't been able to read much. Luckily, the library does audiobooks. Unluckily, they use 3 separate apps and 1 of them is a dumpster fire. E.g. Try to find the search function in the picture

There was an odd nook as part of the design above our wardrobe. The height was a little over 30cm (4cm deep, 123cm long), so I tried to find a canvas print that was the right size - no success. Instead, I found 2 cheap velvet prints and crudely fused them...

Look at the shiny gold moons and not the gap in the frame...

Wrestling! Usually, you gain momentum ('heat') by defeating opponents. The 'youngest men alive' - The Outrunners (Truth Magnum, Turbo Floyd & Erica Leigh) won over the crowd by losing so much ('jobbing'), that winning a match caused a huge celebration and pushed them up to championship contenders...

Wrestling! This smug gentleman in the black sleeveless turtleneck is 'father of the year' Christian Cage. His faction (The Patriarchy) includes a real-life widow (Mother Wayne), two men with real-life dead fathers (Nick Wayne & Kip Sabian) and a man whos not a real-life dinosaur (Luchasaurus).

Also wrestling! One of the most popular wrestlers is the disarmingly charming Essex boy, the 'aerial assassin' Will Osprey. He has an Assassin's Creed tattoo, the finisher 'hidden blade' and at a pay-per-view at Wembley Stadium came out wearing this. He is a HUGE nerd.

Wrestling! This scary orc is 'the bastard' Pac a.k.a. 'the man who gravity forgot' (he's a high-flyer). He recently joined The Blackpool Combat Club (As Newcastle is much closer to Blackpool than Switzerland). He may look mean, but his finisher is The Black Arrow - a Hobbit reference, what a nerd!

WRESTLING! - It's delightfully silly. Toni Storm suffered a psychotic break after losing the world championship and thought she was a golden-age Hollywood starlet. Over time she acquired a butler, a super-fan who dress as her & the catchphrase "Chin-up! Tits-out! & watch for the shoe! *throws shoe*"

The 90's X-Men series is so jankily animated and awkwardly voiced, but it's trying so hard to include everything from that universe, that you've got to respect it...

2 years ago, I spent way too much money kickstarting a Slay The Spire boardgame for my wife's birthday/Christmas (whichever was closest). Now that it's finally arrived, I can say it's undeniably cool!
