Hobby project: the ESMR flag burning project.
Apparently, you can buy 100 national flags for less than 10 bucks on AliExpress.

Rewatching the original Evangelion series now two things really jump out
1) I guess we've been all invited to Hideaki Anno's therapy session, uh?
2) As soon as the robots are off, holy cow does the animation gets cheap 😄

Just saw a YouTube video actually explaining what a personal website is as "a primitive form of social media profile" and how did we end up in this sad sad timeline?

People may complain about modern game translation, but I can tell you: we're working on a sci-fi license from the seventies and every single time I find a sloppy, superficial, embarrassing spot, it's a damn legacy term we have to keep in for the license.

One of the cutest memories of my Rockstar Games years was the tea spoons.
In that I would do a cup of tea in the kitchen, bring it upstairs to my desk and never return the tea spoon.
To the point that one day OUR BOSS had to come to me for one.
There is no spoon. Because Alain took them all.

Fascinating insight on how Crunchyroll first embraced fansubbing techniques (different colors/positions/timings) and now is defaulting to normal two-line subtitles.
