Calling people daddy but in a Dusty Rhodes hard times way not a sex weirdo way

Haven't watched the new GITS yet, but as a big 80s/90s sci fi anime fan, I feel a bit pandered to by the designs. I was excited initially, but then I remembered the way so much terrible, bland storytelling has come wrapped in the skin of Good Shit You Remember lately.

I guess I'm kind of waiting for confirmation that it isn't nostalgia bait trash (a la Stranger Things) before I spend the time, but equally I don't know where such confirmation would come from. Has anyone scene it? Is it good?

Took this photo on the way to band rehearsal.

Mostly just keen to see how the image translates to Cyberspace, I'm trying to work out which type of photos upload best here so I can take more like that

Getting a PNG of my band's logo off the net because I can't be bothered going through all my files for the sake of making a quick shitpost and I find that one of the most popular searches for Underdark (band) is "Underdark band controversy". Dare I look? What are we meant to have done?

Fuck it, I'm gonna to have a look.

Okay it's apparently just that we're moderately leftwing. Hardly a controversy now, is it lads? That's just a fairly average set of beliefs.

Anyway, back to making my silly...

Congratulations, Brasíl, on winning custody of Hatsune Miku

The main surprise about aging into the future was that I'd expected to envy the young for the opportunities new technology would create. Turns out I'm apprehensive for them.

Ain't tryna hear about no "world cup", it's EL COPA DEL MUNDO until we get eliminated by whoever we draw next round.

Been away for a bit. Came back with a tan (nice) and a determination to finally get started with Linux. Help me out, Cyberspace:

• My research has led me to believe that Mint is the distribution that'll be easiest to start with (I'm a recovering Windows gal) — is this true, or is the learning curve less punishing than people say?
• My budget doesn't really stretch beyond a laptop for this endeavour right now. Is Lenovo the tree I should be barking up?

Thanks in advance for any help, I'll be sure to let...

The experience Korean fans have largely been having in Mexico is exactly what I mean when I talk about futbol being a universal language.

Also very nice to see some good news about Mexican football fans for a change

I hate promoting stuff I wrote so much.

Made me think I should try getting a publishing deal.

But then when I looked at that, I saw that being signed in current year is basically just being indie but you gotta profit share with some dorks

Anyway, I should prolly mention I have two novellas out more
