So, I use Norton on my desktop, and AVG on my mobile -- which I usually use to post to the Allspark. Norton and CCleaner Browser had no problems going to a Tripod site, but trying to do so with Samsung Internet resulted in AVG flipping out and declaring it a malicious site. Confusing, to say the...

Has anyone else had issues with Tripod sites being declared malicious by one's browser protection software?

As I've said elsewhere, had she lived to see the film, I would have loved to ask Pauline Newstone what she thought of Michelle Yeoh's take on Airrazor. I was also sad we didn't get Transit -- but not too sad, as instead of a hi-then-die character we get some untapped story potential. Perhaps...

Happy Pi(e) day!!

This White Day, some not-just-chocolate gifts for the club members, courtesy of a Redditor with some modding skills:

I found out that fanfiction.net has a views tally function, and so I learned that 5 people (one from the UK) gave my story a look-over. Not big ratings or anything, but considering how fragmented everything seems to be these days, I will take. And, you know, it exists, and is up. Which hasn't...

Man survives being stepped on by Mobile Suit, film at 11....

So, having an opinion and expressing it humorously = spamming. Got it. 🙄 I do in fact have a rationale for my opinion, though I feel that explaining it fully would fall somewhat outside the purview of this board. That said, it's easy enough to just blame Scorponok. And that crazy EDC lady...

People keep invoking Toei-G1 and its Pack-in Liner to a Mail-Away Promo Disk of a Radio Play of Revelation, and... the reflex kicks in. An allergic reaction to cognitohazards, if you will. 🙃

Got a bit of a Scarlett Johansson vibe from that set. Which means it's probably time to talk about why we don't talk about Scarlett Johansson....

You wouldn't think these would be a controversial takes -- just silly ones -- but then again, this fandom, I tells ya..... Anyway, in spite of getting a lot of opprobrium for it back in the day, I still hold now to what I held then: Beasties? Needed more penguins. (I must say more because, of...

Multiple universes, now! I know that there had been a fan-written "mirror Transformers G1" series that got (eventually -- they rode out the interest as long as they could) displaced by the Shattered Glass Mania, which is a bit of a shame as they had a few different takes on the concepts...

People were anxiously awaiting tec's return.... ...but now that he's back, no follow up? Well... (checks calendar) Time to show some appreciation! So here's JuliaStunts to show us a sampling of the things women are expected to do, as only Spy x Family does them. Sometimes backwards and in...

Beasties Beast Wars' Fuzor Quickstrike and Beast Machines' technorganic toy-only Quickstrike were indeed the same character, as the latter's bio text kinda-sorta implied. How did he get from one series to the other, considering the state he was left in back on prehistoric Earth, you may ask...

I'm going from memory here, as I don't particularly care to go delving back into the records on a morning, but he attempted to post bounties on obstetricians, which attracted the attention of the FBI. When his computer was seized, they found quite a bit worse. Much worse. The fandom was...

I think we largely endeavoured to avoid talking about or getting too intimately involved in local (or at least, Planet US -- which I don't live on) politics after the whole Nixtr mess became known.

Archer's debriefing at the Tandaran prison camp did seem... awfully familiar. In an "all of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again" kind of way....

It's a strained play, true, but that setup was worthy of Callahan's.

I didn't attend Cybcon in its physical manifestations, but its mailing list was a refuge for me in the early 2000s.
