I've just been looking at Mystia's Izakaya order bonuses for different stores, for the purposes of adding them to the MFC database, and I figured I should share them here too since I do like a lot of them. Preorders close on February 22nd 2024, so if you really want the game and haven't ordered it yet, you have a few days left to do that as of the date of this post.

The image descriptions for everything in this post are in the alt text. I'll mention if I know a store ships worldwide, but I won't if I don't.

I've personally ordered through Amiami, so I'll cover that first, but before even that, here's an overview of the special edition.

First, you of course get the game. It's a switch game, nothing too unique about it in comparison to other switch games. The cover features some nice art of Mystia, Kyouko, Marisa and Reimu, with Youmu and Yuyuko in the background too. It looks like this art is also present on the box for the whole product, and it's featured on another piece of merch later in this post too.

Outside of the game, the special edition also comes with a figure strap of Mystia, some playing cards and a soundtrack. These items have been posted about on the game's steam page here, so feel free to read that if you want to know more about these specific items and see a more detailed image of them all.

Now onto store-specific bonuses, under the read-more:

Amiami

The Amiami bonus is an acrylic keychain of Reimu and marisa, featuring the art that's used for them in-game. I think it's nice that this bonus features characters from the game outside of Mystia and Kyouko, and you'll see that more later on as well.

Through Amiami, you can order the Special Edition, with all the items shared above, or the Regular Edition, with just the game and the order bonus. Or, if you just want the game, you can get that there too.

Amiami ships globally, so you can safely order from here outside of Japan no problem.

Amazon JP

Amazon JP's order for the game has two versions, one with a beer glass and a coaster, and one with only a coaster. The coaster features art from the game of Mystia and Kyouko, and the glass has a very small image of Mystia. I really like these bonuses, I think they're really fitting for the game.

Amazon JP has both limited and regular edition, as well as versions of both with no exclusive bonus, only the coaster or the coaster and glass. But you can choose from the items page, so I'll only link the one

Melonbooks

Melonbooks' bonus is an acrylic keychain of Flandre with her art from the game, which you can get with either the limited edition or regular edition.

I like this bonus. It's about on the same level as the Amiami bonus, it's cute and it's nice to see characters outside of Mystia and Kyouko be included.

I believe melonbooks can be bought from using a service such as Buyee, though I'd look into that yourself if you're interested in it.

Gamers

Gamers' bonus is a tin badge of Flandre. It also comes with some bromides of the EOSD cast. I don't have too much to say about these, I feel similarly to them as the other merch mentioned above

You can buy the limited edition version or the regular edition

and then we have Ebten. Oh boy.

Ebten

Ebten has two acrylic stands of Mystia and Kyouko, in their work uniforms, as well as a plate featuring Mystia and a tapestry of the game's cover art. There's also some bromides. I don't think there's any denying that this is the most impressive set of merch. Theres's a ton of items that're unique when compared to other stores. There's even MORE stuff availible if you go through all the different versions.

Ebten is hard for me to navigate, so I'll share one link

Other Stores

There's other stores that're selling the game that don't seem to have bonuses, so you can find a full list here

In questo momento, l'IA sta mangiando il mondo.

E per AI, intendo Transformers. Praticamente tutte le grandi scoperte nell'IA negli ultimi anni sono dovute a Transformers.

Mamba, tuttavia, è una classe alternativa di modelli chiamati State Space Models (SSM). È importante sottolineare che, per la prima volta, Mamba promette prestazioni simili (e leggi di ridimensionamento crucialmente simili) al Transformer pur essendo fattibile a lunghe lunghezze di sequenza (diciamo 1 milione di token). Per raggiungere questo lungo contesto, gli autori di Mamba rimuovono il "collo di bottiglia quadratico" nel meccanismo di attenzione. Mamba funziona anche velocemente - come "fino a 5 volte più veloce di Transformer". […]

So apparently, Star Master should have thought twice about making fun of SpongeBob earlier. Because now, his abrasive side wants to roast her to being unalived. 💙

In my latest FicSM video, I'll recap the Season 7 SpongeBob episode, The Abrasive Side. Um, I hope you didn't come here for a "regular" video, though. ❤️

has anyone come across any shareable graphics that show the type of produce (fruits/veggies) that israel exports?

#israeli fruit and vegetables are an official BDS target btw #the biggest palestinian org in norway (palestinakomiteen) have their own 'boycott israel' page #with graphics showing the type of fruit and vegetables from israel you'll find in norwegian grocery stores #would be nice to have something similar in english that gives a rough overview of the type of produce to be on the lookout for #even if your in the habit yourself of checking everything at the grocery store it's still handy to share with friends and family

WAIT A GODDAMN MINUTE

IT'S FUCKING PERSUASION

Persuasion is about choice and how the rigidity of class structure can hold people back from what will actually make them happy. It is specifically about the intersection of class structure and family pressures. Anne Elliot's arc is all about seeing past her family and friends' persuasions and incorrect judgements towards Wentworth, and learning to stand up for herself and her desires.

Wentworth is quite wealthy by the end, and therefore ultimately earns approval from Anne's family and friends, but Anne would've married him poor. Anne never stops loving him for a single moment of the eight years they spend apart. But she believes she has ruined everything by breaking off their engagement. She doesn't think he loves her anymore.

Aziraphale has been persuaded to leave Crowley, despite them clearly being in love with each other, because that's not suitable to Heaven. Heaven sees Crowley (and the other demons) as beneath them, just as Anne Elliot's circle believes Wentworth to be unworthy of her affections. Season 3 (if we get it) will be Aziraphale and Crowley's 7 years later. It will be Aziraphale seeing the error of his ways, and realizing he has been lead astray by Heaven. But it will also be Aziraphale being unsure if Crowley would take him back. In other words? The pining is going to be horrific.

And ultimately, it will be Wentworth's letter: "You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone forever."

art vs artist for 2023!

#my art #posting a rare selfie. everyone be nice #definitely been a weird year for me art wise. but ive made a lot of stuff i like looking back! #wanna do a full video overview . think thatd be fun #but also this year was a good year for me in a lot of other ways #so im fine w maybe not making as much art as i did in years past

[firelxdykatara]

sorry not sorry but i'm actually completely fine with getting a version of katara where she wasn't parentified at eight years old (something that was lampshaded but never actually unpacked or presented as something she shouldn't have gone through, it was in fact not part of her arc to work through this in the original show and the proof of that is in the fact that she was shoved into an endgame 'romance' with someone for whom she'd expressed no romantic interest, even when prompted, and whom she spent a large portion of the show mothering). a katara who still had to deal with the trauma of her mother's death, but without having to become her own mother and her brother's mother on top of it in her place. katara whose struggle with waterbending is rooted in trauma, because her power is what her mother was killed for, her mother who died protecting her. katara who struggles to be taken seriously not because she's a silly girl with magic water but because her brother still sees her as his baby sister who needs him to be strong and she desperately wants him to lean on and trust her because that's what she needs to be able to grow.

and i like getting to see sokka actually behaving like a big brother! sokka whose responsibilities to his people and to his sister are treated seriously, rather than as fodder for jokes. sokka who is still a dork and a goofball and a pragmatist but underneath it all is that fear that he isn't actually good enough--that his family and his village don't actually need him, and who is he if his own sister is grown and doesn't need him anymore either? (sokka who is terrified of katara learning to bend not because he doesn't take her power seriously but because that's exactly what got their mother killed, and it's so, so obvious they've had that fight many times before.)

are they the exact same characters we got in the original cartoon? no, but i never expected them to be and frankly i didn't want them to be. something that every fanfic writer doing an AU or canon divergence has to grapple with is how would having these different experiences change the way this character behaves and interacts with and perceives the world. do i think the live action did it perfectly? no, but then the original show was far from perfect to begin with and i never expected perfection in this adaptation.

what i do think, though, is that i can see where certain creative decisions were made and the resulting ripple effect, i can understand the logic behind them--and i can enjoy the end result, because a lot of it is stuff i've rolled around in my brain in the past anyway. and what i really want to see is where things are headed in the future.

#atla #atla la #katara #sokka #im a natla apologist at this point #gonna do a more comprehensive overview of my thoughts later on probably im still letting stuff percolate #but i had a great time and really enjoyed what we were given

An overview of Gnosia PS4/PS5 Preorder Bonuses

(As far as my knowledge. There may be some mistakes or some things missing, I'm only one guy and I'm human after all.)

Gnosia is releasing physically on PS4 and PS5 in December this year (specifically on December 14th.) It's availible for pre-order on a bunch of different sites, with a bunch of different pre-order bonuses of a bunch of the different characters. I wanted to make a post with information for all of the items that I know of in case it's helpful for anyone else :]

AmiAmi - Setsu Acrylic Keychain

You can pre-order Gnosia on AmiAmi for PS4 here, and for PS5 here

AmiAmi ships worldwide, so it's likely the easiest option for a lot of people outside of Japan. Though please note that the cost on the product doesn't include shipping!

Sofmap - Gina and SQ Metallic Card

You can find the Sofmap Preorder for both games here

Sofmap only ships within Japan, so an overseas order would require the use of an international forwarding company.

Yorozuya Beak - Sha-Ming Acrylic Stand

You can preorder on Yorozuya Beak for PS4 here, and for PS5 here

Since the entire site is in Japanese and I don't read Japanese, I'm not sure about shipping, but I'd assume that a proxy or international forwarding company would be required for ordering outside of Japan.

Neowing / CDJapan - Setsu Illustration Card

You can find the CDJapan preorder for both games here

As far as I can tell, CDJapan does ship to some countries outside of Japan, however I'd recommend looking into it yourself before placing an order, as I've also never ordered from the site.

Ebten - SQ Acrylic Keychain

You can find the Ebten preorder for PS4 here, and fr PS5 here

As far as I can tell, Ebten also ships worldwide, but again, I'd recommend looking into it yourself as I've never ordered from the site

Stellaworth - Remnan Mini Bromide

You can find the Stellaworth preorders for both consoles here

As far as I know, Stellaworth doesn't ship worldwide, so like many of the other sites you'd require a proxy

Amazon JP - Can Mirror and Setsu Art Board

You can find the Amazon JP preorder for both consoles here

I'm not fully aware if these specific items will be shipped internationally by Amazon JP, so I would recommend looking into it yourself before placing an order.

Rakuten - SQ Microfiber Cloth (?)

You can find the Rakuten preorder for PS4 here, and PS5 here

(Apologies for the lack of image, the design is the same as the game's normal cover art.)

As far as I'm aware Rakuten can ship internationally, but I'm not sure, so please look into it yourself before placing an order.

I'm also aware that there was a preorder bonus of a replica Silver Key which was exclusive to the Playism store, but I can't seem to find a working link at the moment.

It also seems as if preorders come with some alternate cover designs and a dogtag.

More serious summary of the livestream

Unfortunately I can't provide a full translation because the entire time I was watching in autistic excitement like 😊🥰🤩 whilst my brain melted out my ears and didn't pick up on a lot

Luckily, I have a feeling someone will get around to translating this stream eventually since they finally had the BGM on a lower volume so everyone was audible the whole time Without further ado:

We started with introductions seating order is Yamanaka, Yurina (Es' VA), Minami (Amane's VA), Ryouta (Kazui's VA) and DECO (who dyed his hair blonde) They each have one of the 4th anniversary acrylic stands in front of them The actors have their characters but Yamanaka has Haruka and DECO has Muu

Yamanaka admitted to being a Haruka oshi/fan

Then Minami talks about being a Fuuta fan (she calls him cool) and she's handed the Fuuta stand and she pushes the Fuuta and Amane stand next to each other (and jokes about their height difference then imitates Fuuta going zenbu zenbu zenbu!)

But then Yurina sticks her Es stand in between them to separate them

And then they move the Amane stand next to the Kazui one and everyone coos

Before moving Amane and Fuuta back together in front of Minami Then they basically just lift all of the stands up on to the table and continue on

They discuss their thoughts on the trial

Looking at who got voted inno and guilty Minami is happy Amane got inno but has no idea how Mikoto wasn't guilty They note that the audience wasn't very happy with Kotoko for beating up the other prisoners Then they give some thoughts on the MVs from Daisuki to Deep cover They get most excited talking about Cat and Purge March Kazui says that he was able to put the right emotions into Cat because he recorded the voice drama first Yurina and Minami actually caused the microphone to peak with their excited shrieks at one point (ow)

They answer some audience submitted questions One question was answered along the lines of "Be prepared" One was submitted in English and they tried to but couldn't read it Then they got a question (in Japanese) from someone from 韓国/South Korea [side note: I feel like the south korean milgram fandom has gotten more prominent recently, its always been there but it feels bigger than ever and that's pretty cool]

After audience questions they made a few announcements Some things we already knew, the gratte cafe crossover, the Kotoko line stickers, Earbuds are still on sale (and they're making badges and stuff based on the earbud promo art) the 4th anniversary art/acrylici stands literally in front of them Then some new things: Minigram LINE stamps (everyone was especially pleased for the Kazui XP stamp) There's going to be a part 2 to the Karaoke collab (no details yet other than its coming)

They also announce this year's perk for annual members [the pain of being an annual member but living outside of Japan so you can't get these 😭] Blank lamenated cards of the prisoner's interrogations and a whiteboard pen so you can write your own interro questions and answers They bring out the cards for Kazui and Amane and do some examples

"Do you like cake?" "I don't eat it."

"What did you have for lunch today?" "Gyudon." [a beef and rice dish]

Then Minami just writes "Toilet paper" in katakana and everyone laughs (Then she writes Toilet paper rap/lap/wrap and I'm not sure what she means)

Most exciting is script books for the Hallucenation liveshow (scripts of the voice dramas and songs) The live show uses condensed versions of the voice dramas but this is the first time we'll have official transcripts of key moments to help check translations with

Then they start saying that T2 was hellish, but T3 is going to go beyond hell: They're going to send everyone to Super Hell And at this point my brain fries and overloads on eeby deeby memes as they all go back and forth talking about Super Hell

They all start doing their outros/saying goodbye

Yurina talks about upcoming challenges we have as guards meanwhile Yamanaka ominously holds the Haruka stand up in frame

Then that's basically it, not much going on because a lot of stuff (like Hallucenation, the plushes, earbuds) came out right before the 4th anniversary

Can bugs get fat? I know they can molt, but can a bug eat so much between molts that it gets too big for its exoskeleton and its too soon to molt again? Also is it possible for a bug to over eat and make themselves ill or get a tummy ache?

I don't know about making them feel ill (you'd have to ask them), but some can eat too much or store too much fat, especially those in captivity that are fed too frequently or fed an improper diet. In the wild, most bugs wouldn't have the opportunity to eat enough to get overly fat, but sometimes due to parasites or genetics, they can retain too much fat. The exoskeleton of adult bugs allows for some expansion between molts, but there is a limit. Too much fat would mostly mean it's just packed tighter into the same area inside the exoskeleton. This can be dangerous - pet spiders come to mind. If they're fed too frequently and their abdomen gets too distended, they are much more prone to fall injuries that may rupture the abdomen. I also read an article some time ago about wild dragonflies that were infected with a specific parasite that made them retain too much fat and they then had less success mating. Larvae like caterpillars on the other hand have much more leeway in terms of how much they can grow between molts - their exoskeleton is much stretchier to accommodate the necessary growth, and they store fat/energy mostly for use in pupation or for use in the adult form after pupation, especially if it's one of the species that don't eat as adults so they have to get all their energy as larvae.
