2 The Tories in #Suffolk went online to explain and inform. Whilst I'm glad they defended translation services, I came away feeling uneasy about the way Tory councillors seek to cooperate and compromise with the far-right. I know, councils have to function. But #Reform isn't like any other party.

Combat was staunchly traditionalist in sticking to what worked before, improving it with small tweaks while embellishing its presentation with fancy effects. It also didn't transition to a special backdrop or screen - if you ran into an enemy in a hallway, you fought in that hallway!
Good vibe to this show, feels more like the start of year 3 than the Ota show. Apparently some old coot fucked up a twitter post for this event and wrote Ika (squid) instead of Iwatani and everybody thinks it's the funniest shit ever. Mayu was introduced as Ika and can barely contain herself
