The amount of gags in this 34 second clip made me snort so loud my so came in to check on me in concern.

The fact that AbsolutePixel edited the three Americans with cheeseburgers and Tom with an English Breakfast is sending me.

Also,

"Even when I'm trying to have breakfast with friends...and Tom."

Savage.

Jackie Chan - Miracles a.k.a. Mr. Canton & Lady Rose (1989)

[easternmind]

'Shadow of the Colossus' was first released in the US on October 18th 2005, nine days before the Japanese edition, 'Wanda To Kyozou'. A similar-looking Chinese version was distributed on the 25th of that same month, its title concealing a small mystery that remains unsolved to this day.

While the cover logotype reads 'Wangda yu Juxiang', or "Wander and the Colossus", after the original Japanese name, its romanization, as printed on the manual cover, reads "Shadow AND the Colossus" - an unexpected hybrid of the Western and Japanese titles.

The same can be found on the disc itself, ruling out a mere printing blunder. Perhaps the package designer borrowed the word "Shadow" to create a parallel with the game's international title, one directed at the English-speaking Hong Kong market, but in the end neglected to change "and" for "of"?

After being a fan for about 12 years now, I finally decided to attend a Perfume show (the times I've been to Japan, Perfume were never playing live, and it is really difficult to get a ticket without a Japanese address or phone number). The group announced their Perfume “COD3 OF P3RFUM3 ZOZ5” Asia Tour 2024 a few months ago and while I was hoping they would play Singapore again as I wanted to visit that country, alas they only announced shows for Hong Kong, Shanghai, Taipei and Bangkok.

In the end it was a toss up between Hong Kong and Thailand, but I had wanted to travel to Hong Kong about a decade ago, which didn't happen for various reasons, so I decided a couple of days there might be nice. I managed to get a hotel literally connected to AsiaWorld-Expo where the concert was being held.

I collected my ticket on early Saturday afternoon on Saturday 8 June from the P.T.A. Booth and hung around until about 5:30pm, an hour before the doors opened. When I got there, a young guy from local fan group Team Perfume Hong Kong gave me a set of the above three stickers and a coloured glove to wear during the final song, My Color, in order to surprise Perfume when they asked the audience to join in.

I am really not used to pop concerts as I am far more into alternative rock, and usually go to smaller venues like pubs or the local university bar on the few occasions I go to live performances. However, while the concert is a stripped down one compared to their Japanese shows, it was still excellent, with a set list made up of their more danceable songs, pretty much in line with the set lists for their other Code of Perfume shows.

I really loved every minute of it. Easily one of the best things I have done in a long while. Perfume were great, the lighting crew, effects / video crew and F.O.H. sound crew as well as all of the other staff involved did a great job too. It all flew by way too quickly and I really wish I had bought tickets for the Bangkok show as well. If they had played all three nights I was in Hong Kong, I would have gone each night. In addition, the fans, both the locals, the Japanese fans who flew in for the concert, as well as others who did the same from other countries like me, were fantastic, well behaved and really enjoyed themselves.

I like how tim not only debuted as robin in paris first instead of gotham (robin 1991), but that, afterwards, he follows up on a case in gotham without even telling bruce he's back lmao.

mind you, he hasn't patolled gotham as robin yet. he went to paris to train and become ready for his role as robin. like, this isn't bruce sending tim to paris. bruce at this point already thinks tim is ready, but tim doesn't agree. this whole training is entirely on tim. he sent himself there, he's in charge of making himself ready.

what gets me is that he signed up to watch batman's back as robin, to be his emotional support robin, but I I love that his first act as robin is to have independent adventures without any input from batman. like, up until this point, robins have debuted alongside batman and is seen as a package deal to batman. I think this is suuuuch an interesting start to tim as robin because it departs from that assumption.

and tim says robin is batman's partner, batman needs robin, and that is his intention, but in action he still wears the suit to do hero things on his own, because he wants to. and doesn't need to be around batman to do that. he's going around the world in costume — paris, hong kong, gotham — (and throwing so much of his parent's money to fund his trips and lodgings lol) and nothing he ever does is filtered through batman's mission or commands. this is all about robin, about tim's desire to help people and become a better hero, and how he can do that independently, not as batman's partner, but as robin. idk, robin as an independent act is a neat idea to think about.

Sobre os anos que Jesus viveu no Oriente, a história escondida

Jesus deve ter chegado à Índia na mesma altura em que a filosofia da não violência causava sensação em todo o país. Ele entrou em contato com esta ideia na Índia e este é um dos motivos pelos quais os judeus não a podiam reconhecer. Muitas das suas ideias eram provenientes da Índia e do Egito. Quando regressou, tinha trinta anos. O que aconteceu neste intervalo entre os treze e os trinta anos da…

Kowloon City: An Illustrated Guide,

At its height in the 1990s, Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong housed about 50,000 people. Its population is unremarkable for small cities, but what set Kowloon apart from others of its size was its density. Spanning only 2.6 hectares, the tiny enclave contained 1,255,000 people per square kilometer, making it the densest city in the world.

Kowloon was built as a small military fort around the turn of the 20th century. When the Chinese and English governments abandoned it after World War II, the area attracted refugees and people in search of affordable housing. With no single architect, the urban center continued to grow as people stacked buildings on top of one another and tucked new structures in between existing ones to accommodate the growing population without expanding beyond the original fort’s border.

With only a small pocket of community space at the center, Kowloon quickly morphed into a labyrinth of shops, services, and apartments connected by narrow stairs and passageways through the buildings. Rather than navigate the city through alleys and streets, residents traversed the structures using slim corridors that always seemed to morph, an experience that caused many to refer to Kowloon as “a living organism.”

The city devolved into a slum with crime and poor living conditions and was razed in 1994. Before demolition, though, a team of Japanese researchers meticulously documented the architectural marvel, which had become a sort of cyberpunk icon that even inspired a gritty arcade as tribute.
