My family sent me this picture of the dog mid-blink and why does he look that kid crying while holding the gun

June is not in the comfortable area so take that as a best-case scenario 🥵

Also, we’re luckily not in peak humidity summer, that’s what makes it so painful But it is still 34C at 10:30am, and having stepped outside just there I’m feeling it

Seems they're announcing it tomorrow then, huh

Bravely Default for Nintendo Switch 2 is the same game as it was over a decade ago on 3DS, aside from two very forgettable minigames. Bar a few better textures, calling it an upgrade would be a stretch But when the original was already one of the best RPGs of the last 15 years, does that matter?

But I thought isekai worlds were meant to be escapist fantasies you wish you could visit and enjoy…

I have still not seen I Saw The TV Glow because I really want to see it in a cinema first Luckily, the distributor for A24 films in Japan has finally scheduled it for previews (it was a lottery-based one and I didn’t get it) Which I’m not seeing a date, but that suggests it could happen soon!

No regrets giving Bravely Default the score I did, I note it’s visually the same game but the art style is strong enough that it more than holds up! This is the opening area and it still left me in awe Go play it if you haven’t!

autumn witch 🍂

Got slapped by muscle girls at a bar 10/10, would get hit again

I thought it when it first broadcast, and the song is INCREDIBLE live But holy shit, Ado's song for Beyblade is so good! It's another collab with Jax Jones and gives her a bit of a dance sound that's unusual in her discography The drop in the chorus is so strong (also this MV makes me wanna watch)

Spent my day at another movie (or, preview, the first two episodes of the upcoming Kamitsubaki City Under Construction anime), and selling my Switch 1 and running errands Away from work which I kinda needed

Can’t believe that after all this time I finally got the chance to see Maku ga Agaru on a big screen MomoClo’s big 2015 film had quite a big impact on me in a lot of ways considering its timing, but even beyond my own biases it’s actually just a really strong coming-of-age drama

Nintendo Japan dropped a new gacha at their store that mimics the Splatoon 3 in-game one for ability chunks! Even the balls look like the in-game ones, decent metal badges too! It was so popular there was an 80 minute line to do your 2-try limit… yes I did it, 10/10, will queue again another day

I will say, these posters are nice! The colors feel washed out and I hope that's more of a promo material than final film kinda deal, but you can see Okuyama's sense for building a scene and character in just a still image come through in these We'll just have to see about the film itself

It's like, so much of this trailer is 1:1 with the anime, and that's likely deliberate for a teaser But I mean, I see shots like these and they're technically accomplished and neat, but do they make me feel like they justify the leap? Is this what the film should be?

Still very much in the 'I reeeeeeally don't know if this is a good idea' phase with 5 Centimeters Per Second film, and first footage isn't helping here Do you stick so close to the visual identity of the anime like this, reducing the need for this film at all? Would I complain more if it shifted?

We're finally ready to share this previously lost pre-war film from Japan, "Longing for Rocks and Snow," scanned from a 35mm nitrate print in 4K! Documenting a group of brave climbers scaling Mt. Hotakadake, it includes some beautiful & bold photography! youtu.be/6pICJseZTtI

I told myself I wasn't buying any more vinyls beyond what I pre-ordered for a while... but I made an exception Not the 10th anniversary one with the new track, Hollowheart, but that's about 8500yen in Japan and I snagged this new for 2500yen

There’s an awesome Polaroid event in Shibuya Parco, technically in the middle of an influencer event at the moment but after talking to the press people out of curiosity they let me have a quick look around It’s a photo exhibit made using the new Flip, and there’s some great photos on show

(It would do nothing to the data for a few websites I’ve contributed to who own those words now and licensed them out, something I won’t ever not be at least a bit upset about)

The important part of the lawsuit is that AI models on copyrighted content are likely going to lose, and that’s a good thing The second is this
