An illustration from K.W. Jeter's Dr. Adder featuring surgically altered prostitutes. One is missing an arm and two legs. The other has a row of breasts from her chest down to her shins

Currently reading 'Dr. Adder' by K.W. Jeter which is considered to be one of the earliest examples of cyberpunk literature.

All this time people have been cuckoo about the triple breasted woman in Total Recall.

Well, buddy, do I have news for you about this book.

New scene in Avengers: Endgame.

This is canon now and ties into Doomsday.

Looking back, Shigeru Miyamoto considers that the main failing of the project. "Well, when we first initiated talks about a Super Mario Bros. movie, I tried to emphasize the point that the Mario Bros. games are fun as videogames and if we were going to make a Mario Bros. movie, that movie should be entertaining as a movie, and not a translation of the videogame," he told Next Generation. "I think that they tried very hard and in the end it was a very fun project that they put a lot of effort into. The one thing that I still have some regrets about is that the movie may have tried to get a little too close to what the Mario Bros. videogames were. And in that sense, it became a movie that was about a videogame, rather than being an entertaining movie in and of itself."

Meanwhile, I posted this earlier about his views on the '93 movie.

Interesting criticism of what he saw the flaw to be when compared to what they are now making.

Sounds like something I'll have to check out as well. Through my very real, existing Jaguar I have here right next to me 😅

I'll have to check it out since it's currently on special and strategy type games from them are a blindspot for me since I was mostly playing shooters at the time

Which versions would you say are the best? I only ever played the SNES one and I'm aware the Mega Drive/Genesis version is quite different.

I'm guessing the version on GOG (Syndicate Plus) is likely the best?

Another one of those films that I enjoy but desperately want to see the original cut before studio execs got involved.

So, in an old interview about Super Mario Bros 93 he says it was a failure because it was too like a videogame which was absolutely not the consensus at the time.

They then released the most videogame-ass videogame movie. Twice.

Quite the mess too. I enjoy it but, man they really tried to run before they could walk with the CGI.

Also, being in the wrong time to push for a higher age rating too.

If you've not seen the old HBO animated series you need to check it out.

Turkish hair implants are out.
Turkish eldritch implants are in.

...in Australia a few months back and you could actually get some exclusive Lifeblood/Metallica merch.

Sadly you had to be in one of our major cities to get it so I missed out 😭

Added bonus. Got a insulated coffee cup for donating too.

The messages are good. I use them to try and convince others to donate as it's a real clear "It actually helps" thing to show.

Thanks, gotta love the ol' 'tallica. They actually did a collaboration with our blood donations here in...

Thanks. It's something I actually quite like to do. Today was my (lucky for some) 13th time around.

Plus they send you a text when your donation is used so, it's a good motivator to keep it up qhen you know it is actively helping people out.

Donating blood because, hell, I don't need all of it.

Noses are for polite company. Arses are for friends.

In typical Australia fashion, I tend to say "No skin off my arse" and lower the tone of the whole thing 😅

Oh shit! Is that what the K-Pop Demon Hunters were singing about?!

😅

When he's a Bluesky superstar, I hope he remembers us all while in his golden palace built of Likes & Reskeets 😆

As someone who has made Yorkies and Toad in the Hole a lot over my life... I get the response.

Even to this day when I make some absolute belters I take a photo and send them to my sister to show off.

Fucking. What.

"Although Toad is simply friends with Peach and generally exhibits no romantic affection towards her in most Super Mario media, his appearance in a virtual magazine for the Satellaview depicts Toad having romantic and sexual relationships with Peach."

Toad has a navel.
Therefore, Toad had an umbilical cord.
Someone gave birth to Toad.
Who is Toad's Mother?

Ali Express out there selling a mouse trap that lets you become the Anton Chigurh of the rodent world.

Well, that clearly didn't prevent any CTE.

Kinda wanna see a Prince styled cyberpunk film now.

Batman '89 but with more CRT's and hackers
