Or 99 Luftballons in the original.

And I don't know about old... it's starting to feel like we're right back in the eighties... at least for the bad bits...

You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a box of drones with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, sparks in the software
Flash the message "Something's out there"
Floating in the summer sky
99 little drones go by

99 little drones
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
The 99 little drones go by

99 Decision Street
99 ministers meet
To worry, worry, super scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it boys, this is war
The President is on the line
As 99 little drones go by

99 knights of the air
Ride super high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a superhero
Everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
Scrambling the summer sky
99 little drones go by

As 99 little drones go by

99 dreams I have had
In every one, a little drone
It's all over, and I'm standing pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a little drone
I think of you, and let it go

Well, at least it'll probably be better than Starfield.

True, but fuck deer. Prion-ridden idiots, the lot of them.

I love how no one has said anything about Dandadan, because, of course it's Dandadan. If there's anything Dandadan is most definitely not, it's subtle.

Fun show, though, except when it chooses to traumatize the viewer for no apparent reason.

They don't believe women and children (and immigrants, and people with the wrong skin colour, and insufficiently wealthy people, and people who have different opinions than theirs, and people who work for them, and anyone but themselves, really) have the right or even ability to consent (or rather not consent) to anything (or any other right, really; just lots and lots of duties), simple as that, and will see any lack of consent (or anything else they perceive as an undeserved privilege, like claiming human rights) as a form of disrespect and even theft (in their worldview there's only so much rights, happiness, wellbeing and whatnot to go around, so if anyone else has any they're clearly stealing them from those who actually deserve them).

In the summer..? Sure, no point in putting anything on if you aren't going out.

I know it from Frederick Pohl's Heechee saga.

This guy doesn't need a GoFundMe.

He could start an Only Fans where he talked about his ideas with his shirt off and he'd be set for life, or at least until Nintendo sued him off the Internet.

Just picked the best picture that showed up when I looked up encyclopedia. 🤷‍♂️

I'm not British, or a native English speaker, so mine really looked more like this:

Gran Enciclopèdia Catalana
