I just remembered something recently. The movie Speed canonically exists in the Sonic the Hedgehog movie universe. And Sonic in this universe knows who Keanu Reeves is. And Shadow in the third movies going to be played by Keanu.
Sonic is DEFIENTLLY going to comment on that and make a joke if Shadow can stop bullets or if he's a dog person! SEGA, you owe me a new Sonic Storybook game if I'm right!
According to some friends on Discord there's apparently some places in Japan rumoured to starting to experiment with people getting jobs as living mannequin complete with hypnotising them into making them think they are actually mannequins. 👀
And also a hypnosis cafe in some district in Tokyo. Pair those with the Latex cafes I knew were also a thing a few years ago and I suddenly REALLY want to visit Japan now! More than I already wanted to already!
I'm usually pretty lucky when it comes to random friend requests on Nintendo system specifically since I've never actually gotten any random requests on either my Wii U, 3DS or Switch as far as I remember.
...On OFFICAL Nintendo servers at least. Because guess who loaded up there Wii U this afternoon, swapped to Pretendo servers and found a random friend request from someone I've never played or interacted with before? REALLY hope that's not a sign of things to come with my Pretendo account.
I just learnt of a new recent trend where people are using AI to put a "PS2 Filter" over photos. Yay...😒
Look, I have a lot of nostalgia towards the early 2000's as well, it was the decade I grew up in after all, but not so much to the point where I'd want to use AI to give some random photos PS2 graphics that, because it's AI, ends up having a lot of issue anyway and is likely being built of stolen works anyway.
If I want to turn myself into a PS2 character that badly, I'd rather just comm an actual artist to draw my sona as a PS2 model. Or better yet, actually load up my copies of Tony Hawk Underground 2 or SoulCalibur 3 and create myself!
In hindsight, I'm pretty sure Bionicle had a hand in me getting a love for hypnosis and mind control looking back. Mainly with the Krana, the Paraka's Zamor Launchers and Takadox canonically having hypnosis.
When your whole role in the Bionicle storyline is nothing more than being a minion in a hive mind swarm yet you still end up becoming a big meme in the community.
Hey did you also know that Kohrak the Ice Bohrok is able to shoot icy blasts from its claws? XD
