Well, there goes my sleep for the night.

That was the spec sheet provided by the company, but without any backing info, testing, or engineering expertise. The more digging people have done on this submarine, the more of an absolute shit show it is.

 

It's really hard to put my thoughts about this this novella into a coherent form. Especially without spoilers.

Overall I liked it. It is thought provoking in ways I wasn't expecting.

If anything holds me back from an absolute recommendation is the prose. That it is a translation shows. 73 words in a sentence just doesn't work the same way in English as it does in some languages.

Only the most optimistic guesses about their air suggest there is any left in it at this point. We're pretty much at the recovery phase.

I first saw the story pop up in r/UFOs, which isn't a great start. Granted, the story is well sourced by conspiracy theory standards but still doesn't quite raise to the standards of "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." I put a mental pin on the story to see how it develops.

I'm entirely onboard and OK with your inclusion of GITS on the list and think that an examination of a theme inevitably needs to examine how a theme has evolved as it passes through other art forms.

You weren't out of the loop, SE was keeping it on the down low. Partly because there have already been two major production delays (COVID, invasion of Ukraine) and it hasn't been super clear when it would be ready for release. The producer is also doing double duty being the producer for 14 (if increasingly in name only) which probably isn't helping anything.

LAMP + mediawiki went pretty quick for me. The issue was that I didn't want to dig through all their config files to tweak it to what I wanted.
