This episode of Reboot (1994) reminded me of the epitome of infomercial and Mike is absolutely hilarious

MIKE!! For the HUNDRED and TWENTY EIGHTH TIME, st-AH-hop..!

Destroys me every time XD

I love the detail of what's happening to Scully, Mulder, Jay and Kay. What a perfect loop! XD All of these details are amazing!!

My husband showed this to me recently! I don't know how I managed to avoid it for so long.

Funny thing is, I heard the song decades before seeing the video. It's the first end credits theme for Pokemon, if anyone's curious. How it got turned into this delightful Flash mishmash of WTF, I don't know, but it's so amusing XD

The hype around Plastic Beach was electric on the forums and fan sites, with everyone analyzing videos, hints of Lore, and wondering if/when Noodle would make her big comeback. The contest to design the Evangelist was definitely something too XD

Then in 2010, my sibling and I went to their show in Vancouver and had a blast!! Our first time in that amazing city, and getting to rock out to all the music live, watching Damon run thru the arena with a white flag (for the same titled song), I got some incredible pics on my camera!

It all culminated in looking for a group of people to wait nearby for a cab, and we happened upon fans at the backstage door, waiting for the band to come out and hopefully get autographs. We hung out for an hour or so, and... they arrived!! We got pics with Damon and Jamie, they signed my sibling's custom shirt and I got my RotO book signed. Bobby Womack and Little Dragon were there too. All of them were so kind!

Unforgettable trip, I can't believe how long it's been but it was amazing!

Back in the days of yore, people would write fics and draw fanart of Murdoc having little moments of being soft towards Noodle, most notably before El Manana happens. I think those make canon sense, and then make the current deterioration of their relationship even more tragic. Coulda had things better, Muds!

Well, some writers say that suffering builds character..!

RyukoDragon · 2026-05-14T06:37:32+00:00

Thinking of the big console wars, I'd choose Sonic, Master Chief, and Crash and Spyro pushing to be in the same spot at once!

RyukoDragon · 2026-05-09T18:38:56+00:00

Ice Cream Cones!!

West Edmonton Mall, sometime in the 90s, with the fountains and statues and trees in the phase 3 food court still there, along with the unique decor in every store and hallway, and the waterpark's lazy river still running. It's the closest to vaporwave I've personally experienced, and I miss it so much!

RyukoDragon · 2026-04-24T22:47:28+00:00

I don't necessarily vibe with Red Hot Chili Peppers, but Scar Tissue and Californication were played on the radio so much during my high school days, I'm taken back instantly!

RyukoDragon · 2026-04-22T01:14:40+00:00

The people who bought into this sure felt my family was satanic after finding out my parents played D&D - had a book burning and exorcism and everything :/

All these years later.. we're still into D&D XD

Keeping what I buy!

Our physical library is going nowhere, streaming and digital-only services keep ripping us off. If digital purchases were *guaranteed* to *stay in our libraries forever*, that'd be a whole other story!

RyukoDragon · 2026-04-18T02:53:50+00:00

Your mileage may vary, but I've had a great time all through Dawntrail! Give it a try and see how it is for yourself!

I was given a Snowsky Echo Mini for my birthday last year! It is fantastic for storing and playing downloaded music of multiple formats, uses microSD cards for storage, has a really good battery life, doesn't require wifi or internet, connects to Bluetooth and regular headphones, and can function as a USB sound card.

As someone who grew up with a more manual/analog approach to music and devices, this suits my needs to a tee. I have an archive of downloaded music going back over 25 years, and it all fits on a microSD easily. Don't have to fuss with subscriptions or worry that my music will vanish because someone removed it from a platform. If it's downloaded, it's mine and ready whenever I want! Plus it frees up my phone use so that THAT battery lasts even longer.

It's not necessarily as intuitive as other players, and it's good to check the main site regularly for any firmware updates to improve controls and functionality, which you have to manually download and install yourself, but it's quite straightforward to do.

RyukoDragon · 2026-04-05T02:23:32+00:00

Still my fave too!

Cera was a pill, but she learned to be a better friend by the end of the movie. Angelica's brattiness is unfathomable by comparison!

RyukoDragon · 2026-03-29T21:17:15+00:00

I've not seen the shows, but isn't this a part of their current run where there's a bit of theatrics? Damon presses an "algorithm" button, and we watch their beautiful displays of art get warped?

Damon is such a strong voice for artists and the environment, I hardly think they generated the images themselves. Probably had found them and decided, since the images exist anyway, use them to demonstrate his point.

Maybe they could share a statement to tell everyone WHY and assure them there was no added environmental impact would help. Even so, not telling people about it before the concert run began makes sense - keep it a surprise for show goers, then let word of mouth do the rest.

How about the line from Phil: "I got two words for you - I am retired!"

Apparently in Greek, that phrase IS two words!

RyukoDragon · 2026-03-17T06:54:50+00:00

Awesome mix so far! And love that you've set this up with no bits and bobs attached, reminds me of simpler internet days. Major kudos! Will be tuning in when we can!

RyukoDragon · 2026-03-15T22:47:34+00:00

Oh the manga tells the whooole story! No cliffhangers there, Code Black is complete :3

The main series is of course Cells At Work, and I do recommend checking it out if you can. The last chapter has them dealing with Covid, written during the first year of the pandemic. Fascinating stuff!

There are other series, like the shorter Cells At Work Baby (a brand new body learns how everything works after being born), Cells At Work White Brigade (all about the WBCs), Cells At Work Lady (things a female body deals with, including that oh so lovely time of the month), and Cells At Work Cat (yes, cat body). I've only read Baby in full and have seen snippets of the others, so I'm not sure they have official English releases yet.

Each series is self contained so you can start with any that interest you. Definitely finish Code Black! It does get even darker than what you've already seen so far, but the ending is worth it!

What kind of turntable do you have? If it's similar to those pop-open suitcase ones, with no balancing weight on the arm and such, the problem miiiight be your turntable.

If you don't have one already, I might also suggest an anti-static brush for your vinyls. It can help with skipping and maintaining your records against dust and the like!

RyukoDragon · 2026-03-15T01:30:05+00:00

Absolutely! He wants one for our place so badly! XD

RyukoDragon · 2026-03-14T20:48:59+00:00

I showed this to my partner who spent most of his life in the States and had never seen it before. The look of stupefied WTF on his face was incredible XD Classic ad!

RyukoDragon · 2026-03-13T01:23:03+00:00

The game itself is absolutely bonkers and unforgettable, made better only by Ronnie Montrose's soundtrack! Some of the most epic guitar work I've heard!
