It’s raining in Tokyo, why am I so flustered 😩

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Headline reads: Altman says ChatGPT will soon allow erotic for adult users.

I got these a month ago and am still yet to uncover what Netflix Popcorn tastes like

Will it interrupt me to ask if I’m still eating if I don’t finish it in one go?

Very funny considering 40% of UK ppl fail GCSE English at 16

(Not funny, for the record)

Migrants will need A-level standard English to work in UK

The tougher rules will come in force in January as part of wider plans to cut immigration.

This could be something really cool if it’s able to get itself going and I’m hoping it can, this sort of long-form writing has been the first thing to go with the cut-off of journalistic budgets and it’s the thing the industry needs most, I feel

10,000 words on the history of Shadow of the Colossus? Sure, don’t mind if I do

Design Room @designroom.bsky.social · 18h

For the Shadow of the Colossus story, we interviewed 14 people including project leads Fumito Ueda and Kenji Kaido, hired Gravity Rush concept artist Takeshi Oga to illustrate the cover, and put together a 10,000-word story with help from @milkman.bsky.social @shmuplations.bsky.social and others.

Shadow of the Colossus: An oral history

Celebrate the 20th anniversary of Team Ico’s masterpiece by looking back with 11 people who worked on it (and three who didn’t).

I saw this quite a few times in cinemas and own the soundtrack on vinyl I happen to be listening to right now, which is why I say it haha

Also, considering the costuming and set design, the fact this didn't get a 4K BD release is similarly criminal

Of all the 2021 musicals that never found their audience, I wish that more people saw Cyrano, that's genuinely such a beautiful movie

Casting Peter Dinklage as a musical romantic lead was a masterstroke I swear

MGM butchered its release, certainly, but still

Definitely regret not seeing them more live, but at least I got to their final

Wrote about idol music and the ways Japan is using VR to deepen the connection between fan and artist for UploadVR

The tech synergises with how the Japanese entertainment industry is structured, though there are elements of the VR business I worry about, mainly in Konami’s new app discussed here

BlackGate has potential with its tense survival horror multiplayer, though its early access launch is difficult to currently recommend.
