No Trails the 3rd tonight, got a few things personal lined up to take that out for me this week. We'll catch y'all next week for Chapter 5 and more Doors!

Just jaw on the floor at Kamen Rider Black Sun (e9) The early episodes had me primed for it to be Telling A Real One with regards to power structures, racism, and revolution, along with the incredible casting, locations, and action it has Completely unreal. And still looking forward to what e10 has.

Rewatched Black Sun with a friend and it's still so good

Looking at reprints within Magic Crossovers is one of may favorite things, you get art matching some moment or characters on a well known Magic Card and that's a really neat thing to give new context to an old card. This Star Trek one specifically just had me cackling for like a solid minute.

When trans creators are subtle, people dismiss the trans subtext as “headcanon.” When trans creators are loud and proud, people call it “obnoxious” and “cringe.” They just don’t want us to be represented in media at all. Because they don’t want us to exist at all.

Add “completely dismantle ICE and its concentration camps” and you’ve got the main points, I think.

The next Democratic presidential candidate just has to drive three points to have a home run: the protection of all rights for LGBTQIA+ people, codifying reproductive rights, and the breakup/regulation of the tech and entertainment industries.

I think FFXV might be best experienced by having your friend who is really into FFXV infodump on you about the world and its lore.

Like, say what you will about Kingdom Hearts (and I'm not happy all the important lore going forward seems to be locked behind a defunct mobile game) but all the content was *in the game*

I am not convinced that all the important content to understand and care about FFXV is in the game.

I still haven't fully figured out how I feel about Zeztz on the whole but I really appreciate how it more that doubled my gun dot jpg collection

One of the biggest missing pieces with #MTGxStarTrek imo is not having the source material in the lower left like Final Fantasy did. Yes characters exist across shows, but a card is a moment in time. O'Brien from TNG or Worf from Picard specifically, much like choosing a game for Cactuar or Ether.

The game was there because Final Fantasy is such a diverse set of games over 4 decades, you see Firion or Clive across the table and go "he's cool, where's he from" and immediately have an answer Star Trek is even bigger and different generations might not know Moopsy or City on the Edge of Forever

Like, not every crossover needs this sort of source note, Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit are straightforward, stuff like Avatar is telling One Story. On the other hand, I've no idea how you'd mark Marvel Comics. Issue#? Storyline? Date? Others though like Assassin's Creed could have benefited imo

this is the reason these questions are asked. it doesn't matter how well el-sayed answers, the media get to write a headline with his name and the muslim brotherhood in it. heated, islamist, implications, criticize, disavow, dual loyalty, scary man bad

So far, I'm watching the biggest Banned List in Yugioh's history be doled out bit by bit this weekend. Incredibly,the hits we see on it are actually crafted by Top Minds to get rid of dozens of lockouts, targeted mill, future ftks, and over-ubiquitous cards And also The Branded Hater was invited in

Tonight, we've got a number of Sidequests left for us as we opened up the final dungeon in Tales of Eternia on the PSP, and I want to show some off before finishing up as a point of comparison on the Remaster released yesterday, which I'll be starting the week after we finish up. Catch you there!

one time my girlfriend was waiting for a bus in Pittsburgh and looking at a martial arts advertisement and a guy in a public works truck rolled down his window and told her “don’t go to that dojo, I challenged the master and he was weak as fuck”

THANK YOU ALL AGAIN for making Mareepathon 2 a truly absurd event to remember. And a hearty congratulations to those who have entered THE HALL OF FAME! I'll probably staple this onto the end of the VOD when it goes up on Youtube or something? But for now, enjoy.

A unicornfish from Raja Ampat, feeding on plankton in open water over a reef. I think this is a sleek unicornfish (Naso hexacanthus) but could be one of its relatives. #MarineLife #Wildlife 🐟🌿

This is nearly beyond parody. The first 3 times I saw this I thought folks were just making up "Programming is hard" as a joke. Nobody would be this ridiculous. Nobody could be this out of touch.

new Epic Games Launcher in preview - "Programming is hard. So, instead of doing that, we vibe coded a new Epic Games Launcher that’s way faster and more responsive than the current one, and has a new look." store.epicgames.com/news/epic-ga...

Quickest way to get me to immediately uninstall an app, the idea of "all our code/art is AI" is just as laughable as "Our literal Storefront is all AI", which is to say I'm using neither.

I'm dying laughing at how the cat has conformed to her flower shaped bed today

I need to build something real, anything real. I feel like I'm losing my mind with just how far gone like the world feels into AI nonsense. Mimic Museum 2026, it's gotta be real and strong and full of all my friends.

In my head I want the Mimic Museum to be like Activeworlds or Graal or a prototype I remember @videochess.world making years back with Rooms where you can explore and meet the Mimics, but my brain has been so stuck on that. I need to just start smaller. Just exist first. I promise Slio, it's ok.

Every single day it's more studios and developers throwing everything into the trash of genAI. Today it's Epic goes all in on AI and Yuji Horii pushing AI games and like. I feel like the old man yelling at a cloud I can't do anything about, watching them put the Slime into the Hell Machine.

I feel genuinely really bad for the ppl at epic who I assume joined the company to do art and not to be an extension cable for a slop machine
