After the whole fiasco with the Palladium Books Robotech Kickstarter, I was really hoping that Harmony Gold would lose the exclusive license for Macross here in the states. Macross keeps going in Japan with new shows and toys, but they don’t make their way stateside because they’d have to give HG a cut.

Time to ramble like an old man again...
Remembering when Robotech started airing on a local channel many decades ago, saw the first three episodes. A few weeks later attended my first Comic Convention (Dallas Fantasy Fair) the original subbed Macross Movie was being played in one of the movie rooms.  Watched the movie…

All costs are going up, & unfortunately, it hurts the people towards the bottom the most because we’re not getting paid more either.

The ship has a capacity of 12,000 TEU, though I don’t know if that is by weight or just safe stacking height. The TEU is a volumetric measure based on a 20 foot container length.

How exactly do you assert that you know how gender has been defined for “literally tens of thousands of years”?

I keep saying it and saying it and saying it, but for years trans people were trying to remind our peers in the LGBT community that they needed to care about the “T” because this wasn’t gonna start and end with us. I’m proud that a lot of people I do know in the LGBT community have worked through their transphobia and…

I’ve been driving for 30+ years and consider myself a reasonably good driver. But I don’t have the skills to drive this car. My reactions are set for normal cars, my butt is calibrated to a normal car.  I know that a car with 2-3 times the capability would bite me if I wasn’t careful and I know that I wouldn’t remain…

What’s the deal with donkey punches? I’m not a donkey. I’m not punching a donkey. Who came up with this term? 

Gonna push back on spices. Most of what you find in your supermarket aisle is pretty old, has been sitting in a warehouse for a while, and just isn’t as potent (i.e flavorful) as what you get from a direct-to-consumer outfit like Penzey’s.

Lady is 28? I had to look pretty close at that photo, because she looks to be in her 50s. Sort of like Stephen Miller, conservatism apparently ages you.

It’s also symptomatic of Democratic voters to push really hard in the Presidential election years and place a lot of weight on the President, but ignore the part of the government that actually makes the laws.

“It’s difficult to fully compare the benefits of each store and their treatment of their employees, but if you’re curious about which company has a better reputation for caring for workers, Costco is where you should shop.”

Better live in a very temperate area or energy costs will eat your lunch.

Look, clearly you have a very narrow understanding of how the world works and that includes the presidency. Trump spent four years courting and empowering authoritarian regimes around the world while simultaneously doing everything he could to damage our own democracy and the strength of allied relationships. It is he…

Eh, this is what I’ve come to expect from games journalists these days. I mean, perish the thought that someone calls out Russia’s war crimes without the old “But-but-but what about what the US has done in the past?”

swerve, beep, and hit the barrier if it cannot find a bicycle.

I expect the IOC will penalize Russia by awarding them the 2032 Summer Games.

There are millions of people in healthy relationships with people who have penises, many of them would be quite happy to have male birth control. Don’t let your internalized misoginy and heteronormativity posion you against the idea of birth control for people with penises.

Not the only GM product to feel laughably outdated at the same model year as its competition. Going from a 2005 Accord to a 2005 Impala (thank GOD it was only for one afternoon) was absolutely mind-blowing. That car felt older than my '97 Honda I'd gotten rid of six years earlier, and it had half the miles. Horrid…
