As far as I can tell, this might be the music only used in this particular version of the dub, presumably due to rights. It originally used Has Zimmer's theme from the movie Backdraft, lmao
John Weinert (@johnweinert1.bsky.social)
Sydney and I have been watching the original Japanese Iron Chef (it's great), and the experience has really been heightened by the fact the theme music in the dub is legitimately good production music that sounds like a Final Fantasy boss theme

The Boys Are Back In Town (To Stream Battletech) I’m getting more and more comfortable with the game, which means that massive tactical errors aren’t far behind. We’re gonna lose some Mechwarriors eventually, might as well swing by and give ‘em a salute while they’re still alive. Tonight at 6pm!

I like it a lot as a character moment but I don’t find the joke itself that funny.

Can I be a contrarian and say I love the movie but I actually don’t like the “oceans are now battlefields” line and that I think it’s kind of dumb

I’m reading V for Vendetta for the first time thanks to the Shelved by Genre podcast. I’m not really an expert on this, but I think it has some of the most gorgeous art I’ve ever seen in a Western comic book

I feel confident that even if we enacted communism in the US, it would be in the most annoying way possible. People posting “God bless America! Revolutionary socialism is as American as apple pie!”. Hand-wringing about China but because they’re too capitalist. Adding Marx to Mount Rushmore.

Timberborn has fully consumed my mind. I'm doing the mashed potato thing from Close Encounters of the Third Kind but it's a beaver dam. I'm pouring gravy on it. I'm making a gravy pond. I'm observing its fluid dynamics.

I recently became acquainted with "Osanaetoki Bankokubanashi" 童絵解万国噺, a Japanese illustrated history of America from 1861. The retelling of the revolutionary era is quite something. Here, for instance, is John Adams wielding a sword in mortal combat with a gigantic serpent.

It’s the return of the Battletech stream, part two, the second chapter. @johnweinert1.bsky.social and I are back tonight at 6, and we should actually make it to the meat of the game this time; no more tutorials, no more character dialogue -we’re skipping all that from now on, just as developers want

Also if they haven’t been cohabiting before being married, they might talk about stuff related to living together (I was curious about the statistics on this, and apparently in ~70-75% of recent marriages the couple were already living together).
