We Had to Remove This Post

It's really hard to put my thoughts about this this novella into a coherent form. Especially without spoilers.

Overall I liked it. It is thought provoking in ways I wasn't expecting.

If anything holds me back from an absolute recommendation is the prose. That it is a translation shows. 73 words in a sentence just doesn't work the same way in English as it does in some languages.

Is this UFO whistleblower for real?
  • I first saw the story pop up in r/UFOs, which isn't a great start. Granted, the story is well sourced by conspiracy theory standards but still doesn't quite raise to the standards of "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." I put a mental pin on the story to see how it develops.

  • I'm entirely onboard and OK with your inclusion of GITS on the list and think that an examination of a theme inevitably needs to examine how a theme has evolved as it passes through other art forms.

  • Thoughts on Final Fantasy 16?
  • You weren't out of the loop, SE was keeping it on the down low. Partly because there have already been two major production delays (COVID, invasion of Ukraine) and it hasn't been super clear when it would be ready for release. The producer is also doing double duty being the producer for 14 (if increasingly in name only) which probably isn't helping anything.

    Review of the indictment, by a lawyer, in reasonably digestible terms.
