Couple deaths today, Orson Bean and Robert Conrad, the latter I know from shows like Black Sheep Squadron and Wild Wild West, the former I don't really know of, but was in a lot of old game show panels.

You might not know the name Kazuhisa Hashimoto, who died at age 61, but he's the programmer credited with creating the Konami Code.

Was just using it to get the Mahou ships in Garegga, haha (same directional sequence with "A B C"). Quite the legacy.

Not a celebrity (edit: or maybe I'm wrong... Warhol 15 minutes etc etc), but holy fuck, pretty tragic: dry ice is some bad shit, kids! Birthday stunt = dead dad. :sad:

Reminds me of a case in England several years back, where a club served an 18y/o girl a martini with fucking liquid nitrogen in it, adios her estomago. (and the shitbirds couldn't pay the court-ordered fine, either)

One of my GREAT RULES FOR LIFE is that if it smokes violently on contact with water, you better be rocking biohazard assault gear like my boy HUNK! :o

I somehow expected Genesis to go shortly after Lady Jaye, but this still hurts.
A great person, and one of the most influential music artists out there.

I saw my first and only ever Throbbing Gristle performance very shortly before Peter Christopherson died - it was a huge, and I'm thankful that I managed to experience that with all of the original members still intact.

Sad is, that sometimes you notice about interesting persons when they died. In this case someone on instagram posted a picture of him. Was too lazy about to ask who this is, but yesterday i heard it on the radio and  visited the web.

Sort of... But I just occasionally post about it on here because they were still important to the anime industry.

My FB feed is using that as a catalyst to get Abe off the toilet. Time even posted an article today about how shady it is that the day after the Olympics were postponed, they started their spike.

Yeah I'm not surprised sadly. I've got some stuff coming in from Japan. Planning to pick it up, leave it all to sit in my garage for 2-3 days and wash my hands after getting back in. This is basically my regular mail routine anyway now tbh. Only picking it up once a week or less frequently.
