I’m going to level with all of your folks this week, it’s been REALLY slow news. I’m talking absolutely nothing happening of note that is not drama related. There are always going to be people who are angry, but there’s considerably less people who are cool doing interesting things. I dug up this potentially interesting upcoming gacha game called MIRESI. Thanks to Chaotik for the footage.
As of the time of me posting this, the current shipping ban to the United States from Japan is still in effect for merchandise “perceived” to be in value of excess $100. There are more details but that doesn’t matter. What matters is that your local Amazon (wherever you are in the world) is conveniently immune to these restrictions due to various “Bezos” related factors. Also, 3rd party “plus” figures (like the ones seen above) are not as restricted. More details in the audio blog (I can’t link stuff), but if you need your figure fix in these times there are still options.
Spooky update of the week relates to real world horrors not of the supernatural kind. You can think of it as “beyond normal circumstances” that lead to the story above. Scary Interesting is the channel and has been a long time recommendation from me for stories worth checking out.
Artist is Aleriia V
Artist of the week is the very talented Aleriia V, who easily could be artist of the month. Very old school “pin-up” style work, and something I think is slowly fading away in modern times. Please visit her socials and send a nice word of appreciation for her talents!
