Note to mods, I apologize if this isn't exactly 24 hours since my last post. I am try to keep these link dumps within subjects per day. So XR, Cars, TableTop, comics and such are one day. AI will be another day.

Also, some of the sites won't let me archive them. I can archive some New York Times but not all. So, I have only a link. Others require ghost archive over archive today. I do internet archive as a last ditch effort.

Also, I try to have the archive and the regular link as well. It's a lot of work, but it also means I have a treasure trove of sources and information to use.

News. Archive today is down, Iranians celebrating

Archive news

My usual archive site is down, which is annoying for all sorts of reasons. I've come up with a better method to getting things organized, but the archive going down has stymied me.

I've also created changed some style. If it's the same subject then I just list the articles about it. Like the new Castlevania.

There is a new Castlevania coming!!?? It stars a girl and it's a Metroidvania with a whip.

Here, have another.

Ganbare Goemon collection!!! Japanese only so far.

You will also note a number at times. 2603 is March of 2026. I can keep things better organized using this for a later date.

Iran

The Internet is back on in Iran. Much of the military has defected. People are celebrating in the streets while the old guard sets snipers on rooftops. I wish I could post those videos.

It's a tense situation, but the people themselves seem happy for change.

The attack on Iran that destroyed Komeni was recorded by an amateur with AI and knowledge of radio signals. He made a presentation of the movements.

My observation on social media and Iran

My friends from Iran are thrilled but cautious. They can't speak out because the regime is still in power for now.

My lefty friends say it's all evil and illegal because the constitution, which they ignored for everything else including Ukraine, says so. This is even more evidence that we need to kill Trump and make camps for his followers.

My righty friends are saying we're getting a dictator a month. Cuban friends are asking about their home country. They want to be part of the 51st state. The military guys are mentioning the languages on the weapons used in Iraq.

For the most part it's a game of who is your mascot. Very few go further from that.
