I do not understand the positive comments in this thread, this is so fucking cringe. I live in Japan and this type of idiot makes things worse for all of us foreigners. Yes, take study of the language seriously. Yes, talk to people and engage in genuine conversations with them. But this recording and publicizing it does NOTHING to further your language skills or understanding of the culture - it's shameless self-aggrandizement at the cost of normal people trying to live their lives. Japan is not a people-zoo and Japanese people are not your personal PR platform, have some fucking respect.

God I miss those! Strolling down the street, quickly stutter run up to that sweet ledge and bust a random 6 foot frontside, continue strolling down the street…

Whoa, don’t think I’ve ever seen the original image before.

Everyone should watch this movie. It’s an underappreciated classic.

I’ve been giggling like an idiot at this for 5 minutes now

I overall loved the choice to use it and orchestral arrangement especially, really got my attention after all the action and made me lean in to the moment and the show. What I didn't love was Rufus Wainright's overly syrup-y vocals. Really would have preferred the original remixed with the orchestral arrangement.

That said, I do wonder if over time this is going to grow on me and become another Faith of the Heart. 😁

Totally! I haven’t loved the post-Burn setting but the way this show is already contextualizing it, and the optimism it’s doing it with is already starting to change my mind.

And it’s even carrying over from the show into real life, which is one of the things I love most about Trek and its good to have this out there. There’s some nitpicks, as there always are, but so far I can deal with them, especially if it stays consistent. 🖖

I wasn't aware of the Stellaris mods at the time I grabbed Infinite, but I have to say that I honestly don't mind dipping into it from time to time. I guess there's bugs and balance issues and whatever but apparently I'm basic enough that I haven't noticed. It getting abandoned does make me quite angry though.

This one always made me giggle uncontrollably. https://whiteninjacomicsarchive.github.io/#78

I started keeping a Note on my phone titled Game Diary with different sections for games I’m playing, and write down what I was doing, my train of thought and what I wanted to do next, things I had to check on our fix etc, at the time I put it down. It’s helped immensely when I come back to something after a while and encounter exactly what you’re talking about.

all of the building blocks were created over a long time, and suddenly, their invention or discovery becomes inevitable.

The first season of Connections did an exceptional job of illustrating that idea. Highly recommended!

I thought our rights were in that place where I put that thing that time.
