Cortex and I decided to make up for lost time after the delayed previous episode by knocking out another one quick-like, and here it is! Catching up on what we can of the last couple of months of MeFi, and also ranting and philosophizing a little bit about recent seismic changes in the social media sphere and also about design skeuomorphism and the semiotics of interfaces? That last bit is probably overselling it a little? Anyway, runs about 90 minutes.

Был высшим демоном, спал у себя в крепости, никого не трогал, как вдруг… Боги затеяли очередную войну, нарушили равновесие, да ещё и вломились ко мне без спросу! А потом и вовсе, на перерождение отправили!
Так, в смысле, прошла тысяча лет, а из последователей остался только пацан, в которого я и вселился? Не порядок! Силу надо вернуть, врагов покарать, равновесие восстановить, да и про последователя не забыть, в конце концов... Чего там обычно желают людишки: денег, славы и женщин? Сделаем, всего и побольше!
Короче, теперь я - Вулканов, а значит скоро грядёт извержение!

Сун Хун Чай, обычный специалист отдела логистики корпорации Ватанабэ. Ему уже 42, и перспектив развития у засидевшегося на должности гайдзина не предвидится.
Но всё меняется, когда в его тело попадает один из сильнейших Русских псиоников!
Восхождение к вершине начинается с тёмного подвала в окружении якудз... и то ли ещё будет?
Ведь наш герой не умеет сдерживаться, так что придётся показать местным акулам бизнеса и одарённым, чего он стоит!
История становления и без того сильной личности в антураже современной (но малость магической) Японии.
Начинать придётся с минусового баланса, щёлкая акул по носу и вызывая на себя гнев "небожителей". За что те, разумеется, попытаются укусить в ответ. Ещё не зная, что нашего героя лучше не злить, ведь из-за этого можно и на сашими отправиться.
Сун Хун Чай, не осерчай!

In this episode we talk a lot about the goings-on at Euro 2024, in particular the opening game in England's campaign, which featured Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice. There's some Benjamin Sesko watch after Slovenia's draw with Denmark, some questions about the transfer market and what direction we might go in after his decision to stay at Leipzig – could we test Newcastle's mettle for a player that might fit the bill? There's a round of the player ratings game, we remember former Gunner Kevin Campbell who passed away at the weekend, and lots more.

In this episode I'm joined by Phil Costa, and first up on the agenda are the stories linking us to Bologna defender Riccardo Califiori. We chat about how this a deal that feels dependent on a significant departure from the defensive ranks, before we talk about the player himself, what he might bring to the team, and more generally about Arsenal's left-side and what could happen there. There's also transfer stuff around Albert Sambi Lokonga, Nuno Tavares, and Emile Smith Rowe, a look ahead to the Euro 2024 quarter-finals, and more.
