You probably know me from the VGM scene (I run the team that runs @ocremix.org), but On Here I’m rediscovering Bollywood movies and music. Partial to the 90s/00s era.

As excited as I am about a new Mega Man game, I wish @capcomusa.com would additionally double-down on Mega Man as a merch franchise and get us some stuff for little kids. My 3yo is very into Mega Man right now and I’d love some board books or kid safe toys. Right now it’s a lot of nostalgia items.

People losing their minds over Evercold’s raid series being an FF7 “collab” when Eden is FF8, All of Endwalker is FF4, and Dawntrail can’t stop referencing FF9. Literally have an Alliance raid series that combines FF12 and Tactics, and another one that that’s barely distinguishable from FF11.

Anytime you read someone talking about how they "quietly coded" something in their free time it's a dead giveaway that they didn't actually code it themselves and just used LLMs, because any person who actually codes for a living does not do it quietly. We curse at these machines. Loudly.

I want an entire feature film that’s just low-poly PSX-era anime. You know what I’m talking about. Where they just change the texture on the head model for different facial expressions. Give me a whole movie of that.

Finally sat down and started watching India's Best Dancer 5, which started about a month ago. Not going to review every dancer's act, need to watch more to develop my favorites, but I have some thoughts:
