I promised a small Ordeal Call 3 reference thread, so we're getting one. I've seen people claim that OC3 was an excuse to put more Fate/Extra into FGO. I went in expecting Extraverse and more Cyberpunk. I instead found Nasu writing an elaborate homage to New Wave science fiction.

I don’t know, guys. I had a lot of fun with OC3. I’m sorry a bunch of you didn’t. I’ll probably write up a little thread later discussing my thoughts on the inspirations and character development.

Canon has shocked me in suggesting my one of my favourite villains had kids. My favourite detail is that this Beckman’s backstory makes him closer Arnold Beckman’s namesake, Arnold Orville Beckman.

A screenshot from Fate/Grand Order. The text reads: Beckman was the name of the CEO of the largest GPU manufacturer in old humanity's time.

The biggest tragedy of Fate/Grand Order’s two year delay in English translation is that a storyline about transhumanism and identity with multiple references to the works of Philip K. Dick ends up releasing in the middle of multiple crises involving AI, chilling most conversations on it.

I’ve joked about my “FGO Prophecies”, which is where fanfic ideas I’ve written somehow later pop up in canon. Up until now, it’s been strictly a comedy bit. The references to an AI Waiter and Iceland in OC3 are uncanny in the context of my fic Overture To A Double Feature. It’s genuinely spooky.

Andersen: A.D. 2020. An Al is officially recognized as possessing humanity, making it the first in recorded history to receive human rights. Andersen: It also says that particular AI was designed only to be waiter at a café.

Getting back on track. Andersen: A.D. 2030. A quantum Al developed in Iceland is the first recorded nonhuman intelligence to surpass the total collective computational ability of humanity.

The first video game where I strongly remember the game was Qbert, but I don’t remember the system. The first game+system origin combo was Joust for the Atari 2600. With arcades, it gets a little strange. Road Runner is burned into my brain. I don’t remember my first pinball table, though.

What's your "origin" video game? Most gamers have a lot of favorite games, sure, but there's always one that basically 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 you. I'm talking about the game that flipped that little switch in your brain and made into a life-long gamer. So, which game is 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨?

Villager: [Posts Their Fall 2026 puzzles] Me: “Wait. Is that Thunder Bay? Wait. Is that Thunder Bay in Fall?!?” A joke for maybe half a dozen people who listened to Royal Canadian Air Farce cds in the 1990s at a too young age.

I’ve been slowly reading through the Moomin comics, which I have many complicated things on. One from today: the storyline Moomin and the Martians from 1957 takes some inspiration from The War of the Worlds radio drama from 1938. In modern terms, this would be media today referencing 2005.

A panel of a comic. Four fantasy creature crowd around a radio. The word bubble overhead announces “Attention! A Martian is approaching the Earth in a flying saucer. Exact present position unknown. This is a warning which…”
