Now settled in New York City, Mimi describes her experiences there through a video mail. She says that she has made a lot of friends in her school. Then she starts to talk about Native American tribes, and how they had totem poles that protected them, which is similar to the shugorei in Japan. She also wonders if Digimon were actually around before the creation of the computer network, perhaps in the form of totem poles. Then, she describes her experiences with the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center, and that she met other DigiDestined helping to clear away the rubble to try and find survivors. She says that she was helping by carrying away the injured, also by cooking with her mother for the rescuers.

Nyx, a small black cat, has climbed on top of a bookcase. She is looking intently towards an off-camera window, and is about to pounce towards it. There is a squirrel in the window, you see.

Yeah I'm really not fond of how people put indie studios on pedestals.

Also see: what happened with Skullgirls and Indivisible. And that shit was almost a decade ago at this point.

Kirika @ridillsword.bsky.social · 18h

Honestly between the HLD sequel being canned and that whole shitstorm with needy Streamer Overload I need people realize that indie studios aren't inherently better than AAA studios. There can happen a lot of shitty things in indie spaces too. And I say this as someone who loves indie games.

"They have no plan."

They did... and then reality changed those plans.

Starting with Gunn-gate, the loss of Chadwick Boseman and a covid shutdown.

Then you had two prolonged strikes, Jonathan Majors, people asking them to slow down/move faster/connect everything/don't connect everything.

I think a lot about the fact the GOTG Vol. 3 was supposed to come out in 2020 and was supposed to be the first movie after Far From Home.

And that "The Falcon & The Winter Soldier" was supposed to be their first tv show.

And that the plan was originally supposed to be 2 movies/2 shows a year.

I returned to our home and found it completely destroyed. My family and I are now homeless and will be living in tents. I am heartbroken by what happened to us. My heart broke when I saw our home. 😔💔

I need you now. Don't forget to support us through GFM to restore some hope.

They presume I called anyone before cell phones

bleary @bleary.off-the-records.com · 20h

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

This is why he couldn't sense Luke on Endor and how Anakin did.

Star Wars Holocron @swholocron.bsky.social · 15h

Palpatine originally told Anakin “I love you” in REVENGE OF THE SITH novelization, but George Lucas removed the line

“Love is so alien to the mindset of the dark side that Palpatine can’t comprehend why a lie like that might persuade someone”
