Very funny that "watch em spit roast your best friend" is pretty much exactly what Digimon went on to capitalise on

Stay safe out there, kids, this thing hasn't gone away

Like the cleaning of a house, it never ends

Thank you! For something we cobbled together from a couple of bad shops and what I had in my cupboards, I'm pretty happy with it- I think the hikari miso did a lot of the heavy lifting

Well, technically soba

Got some new ramen bowls, so vegan ramen date night w/ smoked tofu, pickles, miso and chili broth, and garlic +sesame broccoli

Good advice in the local

As the Western games industry sprials, TGS 2025 showed Japan is resurgent - though you might not recognize that over live streams You really get the impression that this country's industry is once again happy, confident, and building.

Keir Starmer to tell Labour conference growth is the ‘antidote to division’ In a combative speech, the prime minister will pledge to raise living standards and ‘face down’ threats of a volatile world

What's the best Ursula K Le Guin book?

God I'm so so jealous, been wanting to see em live since I was 14, and never been able to make it to the States to see do it

I think it's my favourite film I've seen this year, and proves that Key is really versatile, even if he's basically just playing himself again

Hate to say it, but Fred Durst was right: everything *is* fucked, and everybody*does* suck

How are you supposed to live a normal and fulfilling life when everything is rotting around you? How can you enjoy things when it feels like you're watching the four horsemen ride across the sky?

The government is complicit in a genocide, is forcing trans people out of public spaces, bootlicks the failing US state, and is failing to stop landlords gouging every penny they can

But it's ok, because at least now we can all get an ID card to make rounding us up easier!
