Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don’t message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.

Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.

No impersonating mods I can’t believe I had to make this rule.

No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.

Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say “take time to grow and come back when you are ready”.

My understanding of Shogun is, in order:

My father's hilariously thick paperback with several cracks in the spine
A movie(?) made decades ago
A miniseries that the Youtube algorithm started showing me 30 seconds of at a time.

Yeah, they're probably pushing it now since there's gonna be a season 2 and the season 1 did so well. This 2024 version that is. That is based on the book, I believe. Or at least a remake of the movie made that was based on the book.

The new show was very enjoyable. NerdWriter1 did a nice breakdown on why it seems to work better with translations than the older movie. In the book you can do things which you can't do on screen, or at least not with very good, intentional subtitling, given so that your interpretation of the world is much in line with the protagonist.

But yeah YT shorts at least have started pushing shows which are coming up in like half a year. Pushing 3-body proble a lot now, it's coming out in early 2026 I think.

On hearing they're making a sequel to a completed miniseries based on a book, my immediate reaction was "Oh fuck no. Not this shit." Looking at the last season of Game of Thrones, when a high budget TV series based on a book ran out of source material and the production team went off on their own.

Today I learned that Shogun is one of a loose series of six books written by the author. It was written third, but it's the earliest in-setting by a bit over 200 years. I'd be on board with adapting the other books, I would be thoroughly uninterested in the production team just making up Shogun 2: Samurai Boogaloo because corporate wants to further monetize this property.

Samesies, but we'll see.

At least it's not D&B this time so
