I'm rewatching Madoka Magica incidentally. -that's a lie, right now I'm reading the puella-magi wiki because I wanted to read the old speculation posts, but I got whacked in the head by Charlotte's article. What the fuck is going on in post-TV meguca lore?? This shit is absolutely hilarious #kb»o

I always parse the opening line of Connect as 「交わした約束忘れない嫁」 -even though 「交わした約束忘れない嫁を閉じ確かめる」 -obviously makes no sense #kb»o

I am always saying this. #kb»o

The thing about Takopii no Genzai is that I can only see slivers of discourse about discourse. I can tell that I'll either love the adaptation, or resent it, and I won't know which until I've seen it. I might as well know nothing at all. #kb»o

“From the imagination of the legendary Hayao Miyazaki … the next chapter in a tale of sand-witches.”

I didn't prepare anything for the Capcom Fighting Collection 2, so have a Nakoruru instead 💫

Bonus round: Star Wars (1977, despec.), which I also hadn't seen in a very long time >impeccably dorky >superbly cool >would've loved it in '77 >would've nonetheless vaguely resented that it's taken so seriously >it's impossible to make myself think of it as having anything to do with Andor #kb»r

Is it gauche to like a post if you already agreed with its content? "Thanks for saying a thing I already believed?" What kind of signal does that send? >KB literally nobody else thinks this is a question, what the fuck is wrong with your attitude lately? What indeed! #kb»r

So I agree with everything in this article but another wild bit to consider is that the inflation adjusted funding *just* for liquid metal cooling work in 1982 was equivalent to the entire DOE NE budget in 2023. If we want exotic reactors, we need to spend the money. China sure is!

Rewatched Rogue One, like many people. The elements which made Andor interesting are all there, but downgraded. Many of its biggest problems are editing – which of course everyone who knows about its production or has simply seen the movie is aware – but not all of them. Still like it though. #kb»r

Staged rockets? Triamese parallel boosters? Go further beyond with the n-mese "Fleet Launched Orbital Craft" concept with 2^n stages at launch, connected by propellant cross-feed, all winged reusable craft on their own. selenianboondocks.com/2008/01/an-i... Paper: arc.aiaa.org/doi/10.2514/...

My sincere apologies to people who know nothing about UC Gundam for whom today's episode of GQ6uX must've been completely impenetrable, but lmao #kb»o

i dont go here (gundam OR nogizaka) but nyaan's bookshelf is just a copy of nogizaka46 member nishino nanase's ...except gag manga biyori has been replaced with a reference to i can friday by day (shamelessly taken from japanese twitter user julien55072657; screenshot is from a nogi matome blog)

This week's Mono was acutely relatable: I too would go out of my way to overspend on charcuterie #kb»o

I swear to god if you guys negatively polarize another inch towards this dangerous nonsense… #kb»p

I hate the idea of working harder on any of this. I don't even know what that'd look like. #kb»o

Oh hey, if you submitted anything to Otakon this year, check your spam folder! Responses started going out a week ago and I only just now learned about it. #kb»o

You like Shiiko Sugai because you think she's a MILF; I like Shiiko Sugai because I perversely admire her. We are not the same. Whether this is a good thing, I leave as an exercise to the reader #kb»o
