Ever since I switched to blue-tinted photochromic lenses, life low-key looks like T2 whenever I step outside.

Surprisingly, I go out more often these days (hopefully the novelty doesn't wear out).

@ponnappa Have you tried these? – https://t.co/B4ofoLI0m8

I think you can source them through some of the qcom apps.

@RhoTau @ponnappa Ravi, how much does it differ from the first two seasons of Stand Alone Complex?

I've only read the Manga once, but I remember it being considerably layered, to the point where multiple re-reads were a necessity (even Oshii admitted as much).

@ponnappa which makes fullmetal alchemist 22 years old.

GODDAMN HOLY SHIT

@ghuubear tragedy of the commons fr.

@abnux Sir, I tip my hat to you. This can only come from someone who's in it for the love of the game.

@tarini_axory @GBA_office What happened? I used to live on this stretch a few years ago. Is it the metro construction?

[Shruthisagar @fruitycigar]

@ponnappa There's two scenes in particular that I often revisit. One is from the Calsonic R32's 1990 run at Bathhurst.

The other is from an episode of Initial D where its pitted against an RX-7.

@ponnappa Tell me about it. It has some bushido-esque lore to it as well.

Shinichiro Sakurai (who worked on the original Skylines) was so obsessed with it that he referred to it as his alter ego.

@sidin If I hadn't taken that random stroll in Marina a few weeks ago, this would've flown past my head.

[Shruthisagar @fruitycigar]

@TopDriverIndia Lucy Mancini x Sonny Corleone was quite the scene. It inspired a certain kind of arousal in me that no visual equivalent was able to match (till date).

[Shruthisagar @fruitycigar]

@ghuubear Seems not. There was a different car named the R17, and this is based on that model from 1972.

@ghuubear Did Renault just reinvent the AMC Gremlin from first principles?

[Shruthisagar @fruitycigar]

@ghuubear @ponnappa this is also where your token performative marketing bro might come and ask 'that's cool and all but did it contribute to pipeline? '

[Shruthisagar @fruitycigar]

@TopDriverIndia We do, Naresh. It's just not accessible to most of us.

@indiMotard runs an excellent riding school, and I doubt the concept will take off in India. Most people don't care about following good road etiquette.

@IkkyusDen 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

No sir. Fully clothed. This was at a YMCA facility.

@sm Sara, I've had the misfortune of seeing one of these up close. They're players (read: serial grifters) who proactively coach other up-and-coming grifters.

Only in Silicon Valley, I tell you.

[Shruthisagar @fruitycigar]

@_svs_ Explains what happens in this novel perfectly.

It's also an excellent intro to Zelazny's works.
