I'm on Chapter 4 of Alan Wake 1 and I just realized the cardboard cutout of Alan reminds me of that Applejack truck toy with the cardboard cutout of Twilight Sparkle in the back.

What advice would you give to an aspiring henchperson?
now to be fair this is a bit of an armchair analysis thing since I'm currently between villains. (optimistic about my next interview though. I can't disclose too much but I might finally get to work with tractor beams.)
the main things I'd suggest are:
figure out what you're best at, and zero in on it! are you a schemer constantly out to usurp your employer, but too useful to kill? focus on muttering darkly and keeping a list of good betrayal opportunities. more of a bruiser with a hidden intellectual streak? hit the gym, but make time for reading and theatre as well! the important thing is that you have a clear view of yourself, your goals, and how they relate to your employer's needs. if you're a mad scientist working for an evil businessman, you're only wasting your time if you learn to wield ordinary small arms instead of lasers that transmute stone into gold or cannons that shoot mutagenic goo.
be a team player! if you were a lone wolf, you wouldn't be getting into henching - you'd be going independent. remember, your employer's other 2-4 major henchfolk are there to provide comedic/dramatic contrast and to let you do that thing where each of you fights a different one of the protagonists at the same time, and at first you're winning, but then they switch who's fighting whom and turn the tables. as for the nameless and disposable minions, they're your minions too! any decent supervillain will be eager to give you a squad or two to command and re-theme to better match your whole deal.
you gotta be gay! self-explanatory.
Hi, I'm latino but was raised by my white mom. While she did a lot more than most white moms in her place would have to help me connect with my father's culture, I still feel a sense of disconnect. Where are some good places to learn about latin american history, and more specifically Colombian history? I've wanted to learn more but I feel like any mainstream source is likely to be written by a biased white person. I can't speak or read spanish, but I'm willing to learn, so go ahead and throw in stuff written in spanish if you feel there aren't any good english resources.
i cannot recommend eduardo galeano's open veins of latin america strongly enough. it's about latin america as a whole from the colonial era to the mid 20th century and it's incredibly powerful--written in an emotive and passionate prose voice, fiercely and articulately furious at the injustices of imperialism. definitely helped me contextualise my own life and politics within the broader history of latin american class struggle. i also recommend garcia marquez' one hundred years of solitude, which is a novel not a history book but is v. deeply commenting on and allegorising colombian culture and history
At the risk of potentially asking about spoilers, what were the voice clips in the various versions of Javis' theme from?
Fittingly, they're mostly from random old VHS rips. I know a couple of them, but I'll leave it up to Bee whether or not she spells out what they are - part of the fun is seeing if people recognize any of them
The big theme park goal Eggman had throughout the 00s (although it's probably also mentioned in 90s stuff) makes me wonder if Eggman would be a theme park guy. Would Eggman watch defunctland for ideas?
Eggman would leave angry comments on every Defunctland video that discusses Walt Disney because Kevin frames being a megalomaniac as a bad thing
Eggman would take a page from the book of his personal hero, Michael Eisner, and build his most dastardly death trap yet... Superstar Limo Zone

I've been meaning to tell you this for the last couple weeks but holy shit I can't believe I found another person who watched Super Mario 64 Bloopers on early youtube as a kid. Mama Fucker.
yeah!! i don't exactly remember how i found out about them, though it's probably as simple as me trying to look up mario 64 videos. i started with megaman765's videos, then learned about fleskhjertas stuff at some point after that. i remember exposing my friend in 4th grade to mario 64 bloopers when i spent the night at his house one time.
In your opinion, is Don Quixote the original chuuni? And would he need an alternate term for a man of his age, or is the term more emotional than literal?
I think there's a strong case to be made that the first (recorded) chuuni in history was, in fact, Jesus Christ,
but nah Don Quixote is definitely up there. the way I see it, just because it's middle-schooler/eighth-grader syndrome doesn't mean you can't have it throughout your entire life.
I've been sitting on these asks for a week trying to think of a "two hoo" pun but it just ain't happening.
the answer is "two" though. seeing one owl would already be an anomaly given my habits and where I live
