They also just forgot the basic premise, that literally every program in your computer is a little person in there. Like, yes there's the MCP and stuff, but Ram is like an insurance program. Like, show me how my calculator program looks. What's the minesweeper guy like?

I think what's impressive about TRON is that, visually, it's still so much more interesting than any of it's sequels. It's crazy that they tried update this digital world by making it as 'realistically rendered' as possible. It's a complete misunderstanding of the original's charm.

Cover: Listen To Me and I’ll Tell You A Story by Ejiwa “Edge” Ebenebe. In an underwater scene tinted in sea green, a child-like being with flowing ochre-colored hair and dark sea green skin sits on a mass of orange-ochre and green tentacles talking to a school of salmon-color fish. In the foreground, another school of brown fish swimming away from the scene. The text "Uncanny," "September/October 2025," "Issue Sixty-Six," and the credits are in white.

The cover of They Are Still Here (Mae Nhw Yma O Hyd).

The image is of the sorceror, Gwydion, surrounded by wild animals (wolf, boar, deer) in a Celtic knotwork frame. Gwydion's hat is crowned with antlers. He carries an axe in his right hand and an oak twig in his left.

Art by Josh Arklin.

You MUST take a look at this, if only for Trevor Roberts' art and graphic design.

For four years, on the Mystery Flesh Pit National Park website, artist Trevor Roberts meticulously visualized the Pit's evolution, using tourism signage, "wildlife" brochures, safety manuals, and government memos.

It's very amusing to hear Gary Neville blame White Middle Aged Racists for hanging flags.

Then Jeremy Kyle, Nigel Farage, Lee Anderson and Joey Barton act all offended.
