Sporadic Ramblings and Nerdery

basketball dracula isn't real dude he can't-- *sudden squeaking noises from the shadows*

*two pool toys having sex tumble by in the wind* oh thank god

*thunderous slam dunk noise*

I have met so many people from other cultures who are basically like "okay, so you Americans have these guys who put on ghostly wizard robes to ritualistically kill marginalized people while burning the holy cross, so like, those must be these 'satanists' your christian senators are mad about right?...r...right?"

Meanwhile the only ones left are government funded

The SPLC funded informants and infiltrators to successfully counter klan activities for decades and bring down entire branches of it. This was deliberately spun as just "funding the klan" by conservatives who have always been at odds with the SPLC for their own bent ideological reasons or because a lot of the GOP are very, very obviously klan members themselves, dude.

honestly I hate “can you pet the dog?!?” not for any of the common reasons but because it was initially interesting as a proposition of “can you interact with the world in a way that is not within the primary mechanical loop” and that very quickly fell away to being “well now any indie developer making a game has to have a pet the dog button or they’re going to get letters”

One of my dream projects has an NPC with a dog, and if you try to pet it, the owner tells you not to do that. If you try again, it bites you and you take damage. I want to do this entirely because I genuinely believe that this would make me feel way more grounded in the world than any “click button to see cute animation” would ever do, and also it would be really funny to have a game where people lose their runs because they tried to pet a dog they were told not to pet

Wonder if I should watch something to celebrate. Anyone know how the premier of Teo went? For reference, I haven’t been able to finish an Ultra series since Z, and that was a struggle at points.

The last major anniversary series, before the Bandai Buyout, was Ultraman Mebius. One of my personal favorites.

you people aren't CASTING
