I was at PAX East 2020, which I’d now consider to be the last safe show, it wrapped up just before shit really hit the fan in the US, and the next week Boston had its first superspreader event, ironically enough at a medical conference. Needless to say I’m not opposed in general to attending conventions.

That’s just it: small communities. Size is the key. Once a certain critical mass is reached, the fandom collapses inward into toxicity and recrimination over mutually irreconcilable opinions over what the thing actually is. And it doesn’t take that many people to do this. The larger a fandom, the more vocal, the more…

Ehhh... Kind of. Like the original, it’s heavily invested in a sort of liberal “No really what we need are more Good Cops”. It’s frustrating, the game comes very close to getting the bigger picture in many ways, only to inevitably fail to make the broader point. It will explore all the ways the police are corrupt and…

Well... they rotate many of them. To my knowledge they have never put up the original Mobile Suit Gundam, Zeta Gundam, ZZ, or Victory, though they have offered the compilation movies of MSG a few times.

The thing with Gundam Wing is that the production was basically on fire from start to finish, they never had an adequate plan for the series, had to change directors abruptly mid-series, and then pivoted into basically recapitulating the story of the Universal Century only without any of the context, nuance, or…

I’ve got my issues with Lin-Manuel Miranda and his particular brand of relentlessly cloying positivity that he defines himself by online it seems, and I wasn’t that enthusiastic to revisit Hamilton when my mother wanted to watch it with me recently.

Yeah, the one truly indispensable voice in TAZ is Justin as Taako. Everyone else probably should be recast. Not to say the McElroy brothers shouldn’t have any roles in the show. I’d like to hear Griffin as Garfield the Deals Warlock, myself.

Great, now I’m gonna be thinking about Knack’s knock for the rest of the day.

There’s no Snyder cut of Justice League, either. And, if that shitshow has taught us anything, it’s that that fact won’t stop me or anyone else from spending the next umpteen months in a Posting frenzy demanding that we receive that sweet, sweet butthole cut.

Worth noting that if you break all nine of the Umbral Beast’s shield tiles you can interrupt the cast of Umbral Surge and attack with impunity for a little while. I found this to be the most effective method of dealing with it.

I’m of several minds. On the one hand, I don’t think she’s wrong. Not completely right, perhaps, but justified in her attitude. I also don’t think she’s helping, either helping the Democratic Party, the broader effort to defeat Trump, OR even a narrower effort to thwart Bernie Sanders. Seriously, I don’t see a world…

I just think we need to come together and recognize how revolutionary it is for a genius like Hatsune Miku to not only create Minecraft but also write the entire Harry Potter series!

Notwithstanding all the other reasons why this is horseshit, the devil has enough advocates already, don’t you think?

Still waiting for Archie to open the blue glowing door inside Pop’s and awaken his Persona.

It got shot off by a TIE fighter in the crystal caves on Crait at the end of TLJ. 

Kyrie casts his ballot every day for Marianne Williamson in the polling place of his mind, electing her president of his soul.

Yes.

I have mixed feelings on the movie. I thought it was good, didn’t like it as much as Interstellar, though. It felt too big for its own good, it routinely introduces characters and concepts that are on their own large enough to support their own movies, plays with them for one sequence, and then drops them. The world…

Counterpoint, you should not check out estarland because while the store was cool, the owner is a crook who regularly withholds “taxes” from his employees, all of whom he is actually paying sub-minimum wage under the table. Oh and he treats them like total garbage.
