I sometimes come across these as recommended videos. I think they've done a good job at fixing the speed, frame rate and colorize some of these old clips from the late 1800's and early 1900's... A personal favourite of mine, the last known footage of the Bismarck (movie shot from the perspective of the accompanying Prinz Eugen)

Those look awesome! Waiting for the new Skaven models to be released before spending too much work on my 20 year old plastic rank and file rats (all my character and elite rats are metal miniatures)

How to summarize 40 years of video gaming in a single blog post...

While I was trying to make up my mind, a character caught my attention and I watched "Gushing over Magical Girls".... all I can say is No, not going to post clips from it, but dang it was funny (and Utenas VA was simply awesome)!

With Frieren being history now (sob) and no announcement of a season 2 (which would probably take another 3 years to make) and Metallic Rouge ending too, with episode 13, I returned to my favourite slime (Diablo is just bad ass)

You gave it a try

Makes you wonder how it ended up with the nick name, Side Quest - the Anime

Maybe a rabies variant? Instead of resenting water, you started resenting food? Please tell if the urge to bite people suddenly comes over you! edit: Iirc, the rabies symptom is called hydrophobia, no idea what the food equivalent would be

In a slightly similar boat... waiting for the GotY version before buying it

I suspect you know the answer to your own question, if you have to be honest about it. Not sure why you need other people to bring up "confirmation bias"? Personally, I don't trust governments much, but I'll take the Australian governments words for it when they tell that Australian citizens were killed in Gaza when IDF airstrikes deliberately targeted international aid workers to chase them out... Those same attacks on aid convoys has led to a political **** storm in the UK and the US as their citizens were also killed by the IDF It was so bad Biden got on the phone with Netanyahu and made ultimatums... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68737846

Just a suggestion, the first 4 episodes were released together as a "prologue" to kick the season off, introduce characters and the basics of the world. The story doesn't really start until episode 5 with a declared goal... Edit: Just some amusing trivia, it took Madhouse 3 years to make the anime and in some instances elaborated considerably on the Manga, like the "eat your heart out Disney" dance sequence, which was a 1 minute long scene with custom written score and real dancers doing motion capture to be hand animated, was a single panel in the manga. A fight towards the end was two panels in the manga and Madhouse made it a 3 episode fight, seriously flexing in the animation and choreography department while doing so. Edit2: I'm obviously biased as I liked the show very much, even if it took me a few episodes to get into it.

We *are* known as the “forgotten generation” after all… except when it’s time for tax returns

You have to have been around for a while to get this one (Office 97) and it's probably more sad than funny, but I thought it was very well done

In Brisbane, the F-18 Super Hornets and C-17 Globemasters still buzz the buildings in the CBD every year during the "River Fire" festival... I never get tired of seeing it up close. Something about seeing those jets at such low altitude cruising through the city (following the path of the river) and then pull up just before the bridge

As someone who has worked fully remote since Covid, I can relate

Thanks for the heads up. I'll check it out Feeling sort of sad and empty with no more "Frieren Fridays" (and no word on a season two either at the time writing) Otherwise just following Metallic Rouge (the latter not being a typo) which is up to episode 12. I did see that Tensei Nikki (that time I got reincarnated as a slime) has a third season on the way, so I do have a bit to look forward to (and possibly get disappointed in)

That’s a nice summary of the Periodic System

It didn’t stop the former Australian prime minister from fighting tooth and nail against windmills (for the glory of the coal, gas and oil industry)

A bit of nostalgia from my younger years...

Saw it this morning. I know Himmel says "Tearful goodbyes aren't our style"... not sure that really worked I'm not particularly emotional, but dang it I felt I had moist eyes like every third episode on average. Not because it was all sad, just because it was beautiful at times

No, they aren't. Satire, social commentary and calling out people who are too accustomed to get away with things without being held accountable. It wasn't an advert, that was just the LNP (the right wing coalition) working the other way around. I.e. normal law abiding citizens would do something like this, these guys are dong something wrong, lets shut them down. Instead the LNP decided these guys must be shut down (because they didn't like their BS being called out close to election day), so what can we pull out of our sleeves to accomplish it? No matter how far fetched from it's intended purpose that law was (to limit the campaign spam from political parties the last week before election) Politically JuiceMedia is probably a moderate leftist group, but mainly going for those who consider themselves above the law. They usually refer to the LNP (the right wing coalition) as the s*** party and the Labour party (the left wing party) as the s*** lite party. No love lost for either of the two big groupings. In their past videos they recommend people vote independents of peoples own liking (unlike some countries, those can be quite powerful and numerous in Australia)

I’m sure it makes a good casus belli for liberating Khazakstan from its neo nazi government!

Replaced the comments with my own thoughts and experiences on the various games...

Doesn't really matter what they called it. I know, and I'm fairly sure you know too, it's about silencing political dissent. We're talking about the same party that was led by Scott Morrison and (ab)used the federal police to silent news channels that didn't agree with them Government approved version of the ad released:

Got this email from JuiceMedia.... "Just a quick message to keep you in the loop about recent developments following our latest Honest Government Ad | Visit Tasmania! - which covers the coming state election On Monday we received this takedown notice from Tasmania's Electoral Commission after it received a complaint - from somebody [thinking emoji] - claiming our latest Honest Government Ad breached s196 the Tasmanian Electoral Act by showing a photo of the Tasmanian Premier. In a satirical video. One week out from an election. Apparently you can go to jail for that in Tasmania. Cool and normal." After which followed a new email "Part 2! As you may have heard, the Tasmanian Electoral Commission claimed that our latest Honest Government Ad breached the Tasmanian Electoral Act by showing a photo of the Tasmanian Premier (a heinous crime that carries a penalty of up to 12 months imprisonment). Being the law-abiding citizen that I am, I decided to remove the video from all our pages (except YouTube, where the video is still online) I spoke with a journalist from the Guardian today expressing my feelings about that, which you can read in this article. But I wouldn’t want this to suggest that The Juice Media is intimidated by such attempts to silence political speech and #Genuine Satire in the lead up to a crucial state election. Which is why we quickly got to work and republished the video to all our pages, with a special new preface by the Tasmanian Government - which we hope will satisfy all authorities concerned. You can watch it here on YouTube, or here on Twitter or on Facebook or Insta" Yes, a lot of links got removed by me, just in case. Welcome to Australia, where the politicians are almost as venomous as the critters....
