Nature Publishing Group finding more dastardly ways to lock us in, well beyond what I complained about in my letter declining reviewing for them

Inspired: infinite food pictures

The current generation of lingo is very good (crashing out, for example, is an excellent term) but I hate how cortisol has caught on and now sees frequent use.

Horse girl Matikanetanhauser

Mambo acquired

True- you could add more *mad science* by giving it 6/8 legs and turning it into a seabed-bound walking tank(er)

Accidental anime merch flipping opportunity based upon a very specific form of precognition

Portable deep water horizons, eeee

Sleeping like nothing could ever threaten him. The safest

I knew the outline of the individual events listed in the article but had not considered them as a single storyline until I read it.

Reminds me of when PONE first got an impact factor- the bestowal felt like a way of disciplining the experiment much like how it has been used on eLife

I love it when they add highlights to hair like this, you end up with hilarious looking individual parts that then snap together into something "real"

Oh cool, I love mass production of fuel-air bombs (aaaaaaaa)

Yeah, that series would make anyone (rightfully) hesitant!

Oh, it's Mambo from Horse Lasses

Nihei madness

Each different program is like wearing a different set of boxing gloves and being asked to play Operation. You can see how to get what you want done but feel thwarted

Every time I try a 3d modelling app in VR I go a little bit more crazy as they have a subset of the features or method of interactivity that I can almost reach out and touch but then nope it all falls apart and I have to restrain myself from yelling in frustration

Rewatching The Thing (1982) - I forgot how much of a slow burn the movie is, much more methodical than my memories gave it credit.
The practical effects are undefeated, of course. A good day at the wet dog-alien-monstrosity puppet factory, for sure

If you would like a window into how bizarre my life is now, I celebrated this (tentative) news with my first bottle of pepsi max in two months lol

Possible good news on the whole real life front! Aaaaaa

This weeks chainsaw man (ch231) is absolutely pants-on-head bonkers, makes sense that the next one closes out Part 2.
What an absolute shotgun blast to the head

Happi birfday!!

Sometimes you can't sleep and all you can think is how cool it would be for every atom in your body to spontaneously convert into photons

"WebP compresses better, don't you want the internet to be fast!?" yeah i do maybe we could work on not embedding twenty megabytes of trackers and other bullshit JavaScript so your page runs without adblocking most of it first. no? then fuck webp. that's my opinion

I love to get at least one physical ticket to add to my scrapbook :3

I've been looking at Aogashima which you can access via ferry but also has a passenger helicopter for when the Pacific says no. maps.app.goo.gl/gx7xRrzX6myt...

Agreed on the ferries, taking the Oorai to Tomakomai ferry was a lovely overnight trip

Once you start finding your way around the JP transport ecosystem it can feel like unlocking a new advanced tier of options.
Ferries! Bus systems! Interlocking transport cards! Sometimes a helicopter!

A time capsule from (booming, echoing voice) THE PRIOR MILLENNIUM

Grand Designs is a show in which British people spend more money than they have trying to build a house whilst you as the audience try to guess if they’ll be divorced by the end of the episode.

The lack of tension is also not helped by the ability to summon a Ghost Horse at (nearly) any time and skyrim your ass out of a disadvantageous situation.
Great for avoiding difficulty cliffs, but not so much for stretching yourself as a player

They are often fascinating time capsules into different socioeconomic times, same with "Place in the Sun" style programs
