When William Gibson bought his first computer he called the store where he purchased it to complain that his computer was making some noises and thought that his computer might be broken. When he was told that was his disc drive spinning he was disappointed to learn that storage drives were more like magnetic Victorian engines that spun like old record players and not some exotic futuristic solid state crystalline device.
is that zero escape lore ?
I've heard it was an Apple IIe, but that could be a legend. In his bridge trilogy, he accurately predicted the rise of social media. Sadly, he was wrong about the AIs intervening to prevent humanity from destroying itself.
which one?
Gwyndolin (I never played the games themselves, so can only rely on wiki, I also could be wrong with what part he was in), seems to be based on Space Sheriff Shaider villain Priest Poe, both design-wise and in some details.
This is literally my favorite thing in all of modern media. I pray to see the day where the series creates elephant Roger, the unholy mix of Elliot Roger the hero of all incels and the mighty elephant, the animal that never forgets all the Chads and Stacies who wronged him.which one?
Also, here's a fun Tokusatsu Fact
Have you seen this image on the internet before? You probably have. If you have ever wondered what it's from, it's from Kamen Rider X
Starfish Hitler ( why a starfish? Because in Japanese, his name is an alliteration pun. His Japanese name, spelled out in English is "Hitode Hittora")
Starfish Hitler is probably the most famous Kamen Rider monsters, due to the internet, because of his bizarre and controversial theme, so he has been seen by many people who don't even know what he is from.
So, Starfish Hitler is a monster created by the evil organization G.O.D (Government of Darkness). Why Hitler? Because G.O.D created monsters that were either based on figures from Greek mythology, OR from historical figures
Examples: Oggle Dagger- a mole monster based on Benjamin Oggle
Spider Napoleon- Napoleon Bonaparte
Scorpion Geronimo- self explanatory
Toad Goemon- Ishikawa Goemon
Ant Capone- Al Capone (yes. he is an ant monster that wears a fedora)
And then there are these anomalies
Horned Beetle Lupin - Arsene Lupin
Franken Bat- Frankenstein
Chameleon Phantom- Phantom of the Opera
Leech Dracula- Count Dracula
They're anomalies because they are not based on historical figures, but rather fictional characters, yet they are in the Akuninkaijin group, which indicates they are in the "historical villains" group.
Granted, you get people who are afraid to board a plane, fearing something bad will happen on pretty much every flight.Here's some Titanic facts.
The Jesuit priest and the warning.
Francis Browne was given a first-class ticket as a present from his uncle to board Titanic for the first part of Her maiden voyage. While onboard the Ship he took dozens of photographs of passengers, crew and the Ship itself.
Browne’s ticket only allowed him to get as far as Queenstown, Ireland. During his time on Titanic, Browne befriended a wealthy couple that offered to pay for him to continue his travels to New York. As Browne was studying for the priesthood he requested permission from his superior to travel to New York, and his superior replied with a stern “GET OFF THAT SHIP”. Browne did as he was told and departed Titanic in Queenstown, Ireland.
Of course, the ship went on to the tragic journey after he left.
Francis Browne also took one of the last shots of the Titanic.
The mother who sensed that something bad would happen.
Eva Hart who was seven at the time of the sinking mentioned how her mother had a feeling that something bad would happen on the ship.
We went on the day on the boat train... I was 7, I had never seen a ship before... it looked very big...everybody was very excited, we went down to the cabin and that's when my mother said to my father that she had made up her mind quite firmly that she would not go to bed in that ship, she would sit up at night... she decided that she wouldn't go to bed at night, and she didn't!
Throughout the voyage, Eva's mother was troubled by a fear that some kind of catastrophe would hit the ship. To call a ship unsinkable was, in her mind, flying in the face of God.
"My father was so excited about it and my mother was so upset... The first time in my life I saw her crying... she was so desperately unhappy about the prospect of going, she had this premonition, a most unusual thing for her...

That's some Final Destination shit.
Nope, it was in Britain.
It was Europe in general it looks like. I found a wiki article in French that says a British censorship judge ruled "ninja" was too violent for young children so all TMNT properties in Europe were renamed "hero". I ran it through translate as I don't speak French. Here's the original article: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teenage_Mutant_Hero_Turtles_(jeu_vidéo)
