The “walking man” from the film Exit 8. I Japanese salaryman is standing in the middle of a white-tiled corridor of an unknown Japanese subway station with a very creepy smile. Above him, a yellow “Exit 8 this way” sign is illuminated

My physical copies of the A1 / Deadline zine arrived today and instantly made me feel like I was in my mid-twenties again 😊 (There’s one missing because the missus grabbed it 😅)

Three of the four variant covers of the 2025 Kickstarter A1/Deadline zine. It’s probably impossible to explain in text - just imagine that someone jabbed a syringe of “something” into your brain and you were twenty-ish again

I still have the DVD with the MGS2 Tanker Intro sequence. Peerless art / audio direction and fantastic use of the PS2 hardware. #MGS2

Still from the film “Portrait of a lady on fire” directed and written by Céline Sciamma showing the leads, Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel in a moment of tantalising intimacy, about to kiss, but still separated by circumstance

Last Year at Marienbad

A still from the new wave French film “Last Year at Marienbad”. It shows an exquisitely manicured garden stretching into the distance - the white gravel paths in stark contrast to the greys of the lawns and the inky black of conical pines. In the foreground, residents of the hotel, in couples or alone, stand like perfectly captured statues.

#初音ミク mortal/immortal forms @goodsmile.com @lolproject.bsky.social

Miku in two of her many forms. In the foreground a small acrylic standee of her as a kenshi in black hakama and a white top with her long katana behind her, and in the background Mike as “Muse of Creation”, a goddess in a Greek style emerging in a maelstrom of thought and creativity

(Apologies to OP, but…) Me: #初音ミク is not a cult. Also me:

A figurine of Hatsune Miku as the “Muse of Creation” placed above a speaker. She is clothed in a simple white dress with long flowing sleeves, while her hair swirls around her like a the wind or waves. Behind her head is a large golden halo.

Last Year at Marienbad

A still from the 1961 film “Last year at Marienbad”. A black and white panoramic shot of a perfectly manicured garden with a pavement centred and leading to water features that disappear to the horizon, flanked by trees. A woman with short, dark hair, dressed in a black evening gown has her back to us, while a middle-aged man in a dinner suit reclines against a balustrade and watches her with crossed arms.

Happy to bore people as much about this as I am about Xenogears on PS1. Far and away my favorite game of that generation.

Cover art from the PS2 release of Atlus' "Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne" (新女神転生３), showing the face of the game's protagonist, the Demi Fiend, with a red tint.
