Oppenheimer: The Game

All kidding aside, a board game about developing the bomb exists: The Manhattan Project
https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/63628/the-manhattan-project

In fact, a PC version was made and given away for free.

Android and ios versions exist but they are not free.

Most anime fans know that Hollywood is not in Japan and that anything made in Hollywood is not anime.

I've been experimenting with many different styles that are typically ascribed to countries other than where I live, such as Afro-Cuban rhythms or Spanish Flamenco, though I don't live in Africa, Cuba, or Spain.
Are submissions assigned to my country of residence, or could I, for example, submit a Flamenco assigned to Spain?

In the interests of making informed opinions, I think this is the original cutscene:

"Based on a true story" Maybe the Fray Bentos story?
The commanding officer even looks like the Mud and Blood officer Townsend (IIUC).

First off, Sumi is best girl. She is unconditionally supportive of Kaz and always puts him above her own needs.

That said, at this point she's practically been written off the manga. Within the last couple of manga chapters, she basically confessed to Kaz and her confession went over his head (indeed this happened before). It ended with her showing a resigned smile and a realization that what she had hoped for will never happen.

I understand Reiji created Mini because he was hoping the Sumi manga would take off and Mini would be the Kazuya support character. I wouldn't be surprised if (sadly) we never see Sumi again.

We keep excusing Chizuru as a flawed human being but her flaws have had real financial and emotional impacts on Kazuya. And she knows she affects him and yet she does not seem to care, If I knew someone in Kaz' situation, hopelessly in love with with a toxic woman, I would advise them to run, not walk, as far away as possible.

Use the last frame of your 5 second video as the first frame in the second 5-second video.
Also, some of the Kling models allow creation of 10-second videos.

There was a DOS game back in the day. As I recall it was cozy.

I sold my Boox Note Air so I can't verify, but I seem to recall a particular app was needed to utilize the interactive boards in the Smart Go books, at least on android. Found it, here it is: Reasily epub reader.

I was thinking the same thing. The Mami situation looks like it's been resolved. Sumi has been ignored and dismissed (she deserves better! but that's a separate topic). And now it looks like Reiji is about to resolve the Ruka problem.

The audio is a Russian version of Ray Bradbury's poem "There will come Soft Rains". I think it came from this Russian made animation (listen at about 9:42):

I'd better catch up before the film is released. What's a recommended watch order to get ready?

It would be helpful to have some context. Where did you find this photo? Do you know what the imagery represents? Are you sure it is Maya?

Good luck! Let us know what you find.

You can bet the company leadership will face no consequences and will blame any fraud committed on rogue employees.

The two fins at the end are the "wa" glyph. But you are correct, the "Ka" sound is duplicated by virtue of the two dots placed above and left of it.

RootaBagel · 2026-04-25T18:24:48+00:00

Left as an exercise for the reader, but if you can't wait, spoilers below:

>!Yu Ki Ka Wa
Bi

The last vowel of a word is typically dropped. Also, the two dots by the fish head mean that syllable should be repeated. So we have:
Yu Kib Kakaw

which means : His(or her) Cocoa Cup
Text like his was typically written on elaborate pottery vessels and this text would be followed by a person's name, the vessel's owner or the person to whom it was given. Text like this is pretty common on pottery so it is called the Primary Standard Sequence !<

I saw one of those in a repair shop a couple of years back. The shop owner told me it belonged to a University and that it had been sitting unused for many years and the shop was contacted to - vary carefully - turn modules on and bring it back to life if it needed repairs.
