Looks like a contrail from one or more airplanes near the same altitude of the clouds.

People who wear sunglasses indoors. I get fluorescent or bright led lights bother some folks, but it still screams asshole to me.

I’ve used Blue Nile several times and had no issues at all. Looks like they have a bunch of Sapphires

Ima have to say The Neverhood and Skullmonkeys.

Definitely remasters though, no remakes.

That hurts on a visceral level at first glance

Iirc, we introduced a strider-style bike around that age. Even ride-on toys can fill that role as we in the northern hemisphere move into the colder months.

Looks kind of like a lid for a fermentation crock?

‘Tis the season. Roasting green chile is (nearly) in the air. Makes me want to swing by El Modelo to stock up the freezer.

I feel like I’m having a stroke while looking at this

No way this doesn’t end poorly. I’m envisioning the SOL laser from Akira.

I’ve personally never seen it. It looks pretty interesting from the overview. At first glance, it seems there is a very plausible argument for it being considered sci-fi. I feel like there might be a 12 Monkeys sort of vibe to it. Nice suggestion, thanks!

Excellent mention of 13th floor and moon. Patlabor too. Nice!

Excellent mention of the og Mario brothers. Dark city too. Well done!

For me would have to be:

Johnny Mnemonic District 9 Mars Attacks Natural City Pacific Rim

Naturally, I didn’t take notes when I made them. I’m pretty sure I stayed mostly in the mulling spices range: allspice, black peppercorns, clove, cardamom. I’m pretty sure I put in a few coriander and mustard seeds too. Could always add in some cinnamon or nutmeg/mace. Also pretty sure I used plain distilled white vinegar, but I bet apple cider vinegar would be an interesting variation.

They made a nice accompaniment to charcuterie and even ice cream.

Meyer lemons, cherries, blueberries, shallots, garlic, eggs, okra, green beans, watermelon.

I hear pickled pigs feet are tasty, but I have yet to try them.

Looks great so far, thanks for the awesome work! One issue I have bumped into is not being able to log into blahaj.zone. It keeps giving an unable to connect error. I can log in to their instance just fine via browser though.

Looks sharp! Nice work on it. That’s a fun history behind it too.
