#OTD in 1941 Ansaldo presented a model of a new SPG on the M 13/40 tank chassis. This vehicle was accepted into service soon after as the Semovente M40 da 75/18. Variants on the M 14/41 and M 15/42 tanks (M41 and M42) were also built. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
There's something to playing JRPGs and listening to sad musics.
HA! I was able to log back in!
Is Reign of Fire a Kaiju movie?
My deep dive into Kaiju/Daikaiju media has dropped me into the Nemesis series and holy damn those are cool books. I will be sad when I finish it because I think it'll be a long time before a Kaiju series exists, let alone it being as good.
It has been an extremely difficult set of weeks self worth and depression wise. So when I tell you I barely held it together when a regular walked in and handed me this saying "Hey man, I saw this and thought of you." Hit me like a low speed car crash.
I very much appreciate it and sorry to ask you to answer twice. I'm going through the podcast chronologically and I'm still back on Episode 46 ๐
@kaijuvshistory.bsky.social I don't suppose there is a master list of the books you all mention on your excellent podcast is there? I've picked up a few you've mentioned but I love to keep diving into Daikaiju movie history!
I've been watching a huge year long Daikaiju marathon and I'm toying with the idea of doing a tier list at the end of the year for all of them. Is that presumptuous?
Megalon is my co-pilot.
Totally fair! Looks great too. Though that Ultraman collection has me feeling things. Expensive things I bet.
It's been more than two days but send me those pics!
Taking a break from Godzilla to watch some other Kaiju adjacent movies, and ya'll... I think you were mislead about Monster Hunter. The movie slaps actually.
I can do that!
My giant Showa Era Criterion Collection doesn't fit on the shelf but I'm really happy with my Godzilla/Kaiju film collection.
I can't express to you how painful this is to look at in retrospect and knowing it's what I have to go back to next time I play.
Man this year is gonna jam packed with video games for me.
Eternal Decks to the table. It's somehow better than I imagined it would be.
Henzie is such a cool deck. Some friends and I are doing a commander meet up next month and I'm seriously considering it as a surprise deck.
It's absolutely excellent. Very sleek and simple. But does a decent job of articulating the story within the confines of the game.
We played one game like... 2 hours ago and now it lives rent free in my mind.
Two week streak!
Week #1 of 2025 update. Nothing finish in books or games, and I didn't watch any movies so I won't even share that one. But I did manage to read every day!
My wrap up for 2024. Might sneak a couple of games in there on New Years Day, but this is likely it.
A LOT has changed for me this year in regard to board games. I have shifted from upper middle weight Euros to mostly smaller card and quicker games.
I hope to raise a tiny human that's my superior in every way. Smarter, happier, healthier... But it makes me feel a good kind of way that it brings him so much joy to steal my hat, and even more to adjust it so it fits him makes him so happy.
Our November plays. We struggled to get stuff to the table until I proposed a folding table in the nursery so our son could play while we do. I have good ideas some times.
