Saori is going to America. Seems... not a great time to do that, but let's wish her well and hope she comes back safe!

*coughs politely* Well, you've been more than generous, all things considered. *Checks calendar* Oh! looks as though we've hit the anniversary release of a game that really started to be a big deal in this thread, at about page 9 or so. (I'll wait for readers to review that page.) Has it been...

Well, here was a nice (if far too fast) 8th anniversary present: Serenity Forge finally did as I hoped long ago, and did went the variant cover route for the Switch version of the game. Alas, the non-Monika variants have already sold out at the Serenity Forge store. :( Lasting a little longer...

"The memory cheats," as they say -- but I do still recall that my mother and I attended a premiere showing in our locality. It was a matinee at one of the smaller theatres, but one in the centre of town. So already it seems that there may have been some booking issues (possibly caused by the...

Oh, many have tried to get Paramount to pay Larry Niven and bring the Kzin back, but that's another thread's business. 😉 That said, "The Sponsor" being Shockwave would make a good hook to another ST/Transformers crossover -- maybe involving Lower Decks, as the first one invoked TAS specifically?

"...Are there any other Shockwaves that I should know about?" Blurred figure: "No, nothing to see here..."

I can't really speak to what would happen if we came across that, but what has been a thing in my sector of retail and part of North America has been people either stealing formula to fence overseas, or (this is less of a thing post-2020 panic buys) bulk purchasing for overseas distribution...

Unlike Vizzini, I'm not saying that to be triumphant or smug. It's just that, well, a quick look over your history makes your statement "a thing to strive for" rather than "a thing you have lost". And seeing how at least there are groups that see Civil War 2.0 as inevitable (though not all of...

It's not a thing we'll know about, of course, unless you two decide to share. And that is how things should be. 🤫 In the meantime, Saori dropped a song and music video about her sudden fame and dealing with negative thoughts. Your lady friend may be cheered up by it, perhaps, there's a definite...

I don't know about plural "folks", but Major Grin probably put out a video. Picking these nits in post 2016 Trek is kind of his thing. 🙃 I don't do that, but that's because I also remember that the Berman era had retcon patches and mandated-from-on-high Doyleist changes (e.g. the Trill). And...

...and then Michael Jan Friedman, in the "My Brother's Keeper" trilogy detailing James Kirk and Gary Mitchell's friendship, claimed that the middle initial referenced an in-joke between the two ("You're so stubborn that your middle name should be Rhinoceros."). Paramount really should institute...

Partially, yeah. There was also the Babylon 5 time travel angle of "He is from the future and knows that history fits together like a jigsaw puzzle", so Shockwave basically tells Alpha Trion to write it all down as he remembers history being told. Including "prophecies" about Starscream becoming...

Well, much as I can't actually recommend that anyone visit the state (for increasing numbers of reasons), I couldn't help but conceive of the following semi-topical demotivational poster. Considering how well past satire all this is, who knows? Maybe someone will use it as a tourist draw...

Not in anything official, but the "Tales from the Intermezzo" fanfictions had a story where Skyjack survives to the distant future, and uses a transwarp bomb to end an argument between two Advanced Future Posthumans.

I think that's certainly part of the discourse, given that the whole "Sydney Sweeney's jeans/genes" wordplay flap was already a major English-speaking Internet topic at the time that Saori went viral. That being said, I think that the image just seemed to gather attention all on its own as...

"...and then DEMAND TO SEE LIFE'S MANAGER! MAKE LIFE RUE THE DAY IT THOUGHT IT COULD GIVE CAVE JOHNSON LEMONS!!"

Quite the opposite. Basically the reaction (at least from North American Nihonophiles) was "our culture tells us that we should fall all over the blonde actress who sells soap infused with her bathwater and made a clothing ad with possible eugenicist overtones...but we think that the salarywoman...

For context: An ex-idol named Saori Araki turned the Internet upside down this summer by posting this image: Weebs melted, everyone else started talking about comparative beauty standards across cultures, and now she's an online phenomenon. Possibly the last good thing to come out of Xitter....

And of course, the one with no name... ended up nameless again.

My hobby didn't make me mad.... but other hobbyists did! 🙃
