カーター・マッケンドリ (he/him) I enjoy that media you hate. Computer nerd. Japan dork. Horror geek. Comic book guy. Sci fi fanboy. Not necessarily in that order. Enthusiast, not connoisseur.
Recently welcomed a new member of the family! Everyone please say hi to PC-9801 BX4
Trying to explain Spider-Man's backstory in Japanese and tripping on an unexpected language hurdle
New candidate for the funniest youtube thumbnail I've ever been recommended
I was reading back issues of "Mycom BASIC" magazine from 1998 (as one does) and noticed this message from a game enthusiast gushing about how much he likes Hideo Kojima's games in a particularly charming way
Golden Week treat: I'm in Ikebukuro to see a movie I know literally nothing about aside from the title and the poster, which is...this
First game that I ever imported (I don't really have an explanation for this but it's a core memory)
Yes, I just watched this movie less than six months ago Yes, that was also in a theater BUT This time it's on FILM
Ok, cool. @wah.bsky.social and I will look at imported blu rays some other time, I guess...
Audition (1999) at Waseda Shouchiku! This is the kind of thing that sort of calcifies in your mind and it's easy to only retain the most memorable moments, so I had kind of forgotten how artful and well crafted the rest of it is. ...I still had to look away from the screen twice
Patlabor (1989) is a movie about how you should wait a few months before installing the latest operating system
Seated for the new 放送禁止 Because the true horror is your slowly disintegrating polycule
I don't know why it's ONLY playing at 10 in the goddamn morning but I'm not going to miss my chance to see AKIRA on the big screen for the first time in my life
My phone is from 2021, so it literally takes about 4 minutes for Uma Musume to open now and this is the loading screen they gave me today
Genuinely makes me really happy whenever I look up a Japanese word and it's defined using an English word or phrase I've never heard before in my life
