I am on 6 hours of sleep in the last 48 and I’m T Minus 150 minutes until naptime, Let’s Frickin Go

Oh,they understand.

Cats pretend not to speak Human so we don’t put them to work, the lazy little shitbags.

See, that makes sense.

Of Belgium?

Nicht so schnell, aber diese Dinosauriern ist unsichtbar.

Snallygaster comes from German “Schnellergeist”, “swift ghost”.

I’m trying, Ringo.

It’s either be a Silly Guy, a Whimsical Fellow, or go straight to Mean Fuckin Drunk, and I really don’t want to let it get that far. I’ve been good for over a decade and I don’t want to be THAT kind of animal right now.

Today is Funny Drawring Day, apparently.

If you don’t follow paleontology, trust that this is wicked funny.

I am perfectly happy to be the first against the wall. It’s the least I can do!

For those asking, WH3k would go like this.

“WELLLL, Space Marines! We’ve got a PUTRID film for you this week! ‘Monster A-Go-Go’! Ha ha haaa! What do you think about THAT, hmmmm?”

“It is as the Emperor wills; we go in His grace.”

“BROTHER. WE HAVE MOVIE SIGN.”

“FORWARD! FOR THE EMPEROOOOOR!”

I almost typed “MST40k” in a reply, and

well

In my defense I’m going on two hours of Couch Sleep.

I get that. If it’s good, it’s good, but if it’s bad you can at least MST3K it. If it’s middling, you can’t get your fingers in.

I was home alone, bored, and went in with low expectations, and was pleasantly surprised, which can throw off my grading curve. Same with Solo. If I were hyped? No good.

Paperclip is up there with “not grinding the Confederate power structure into pastry flour” in terms of Questionable Decisions.

I cringe every time a Gundam arc goes to von Braun City on the moon. Yes, we beat the Sovs to Luna. But at the cost of Nazi Shit.

Like they aren’t saying Blade Runner is canon, but they’re winking at the BR Truthers like “I see you, Reddit user.”

Here’s the Engineering team now:

They want to be the new bossing people around, and can never be those being bossed. That’s it. That’s the mentality. So yes: the mentality is giving Terrible Twos Child Confronted With Broccoli.

Add the racism, the weirdo Thulsa Doom cult shit, and abject terror of the city, and we’re all fecked.

I thought the MK reboot was pretty good! It had a story, there was acting—by actors—being done, and there were visuals that could be seen.

Seriously, though, Hiroyuki Sanada acted his ass off, giving Undead Shinobi W/Grappling Hook the same care as he did Toranaga.

Boston, Dublin, Berlin, Tokyo, and Melbourne.

I think they’re saying Blade Runner sotto voce a little.

Happy birthday!

It really is excellent so far. I’m interested to see what they keep or ditch from the movies. Queens? Different morphology based on host?

The Prometheuses..?

Was the second episode gorier than the films? I don’t recall the movies painting the town red, so to speak, at least not to that extent.

“Why is The Jonesy’s fur all janky—?

…

oh what the fuck”

Oh yeah, a bunch of humans get turned into pulled pork too, but that’s no big deal.

YouTube video by Critical Role Make A Critical Impact With The Critical Role Foundation

I’m planning on making a donation in memoriam—their mission statement is to “leave the world better than they found it”, which is fitting. In addition to the orgs in the video they have a relief fund for emergencies like the LA wildfires.

Having a game set in the Pleistocene with speculative Info-European dialogue and Newgranges as gameplay elements, and another in a synthpop dystopia means anything is possible.

FESTOONED with babbies

FYI: a cat comes to an ig-fuckin-nomious end in episode 2 of Alien Earth. This is not, repeat, not a Jonesy situation.

He is Not To Be Trusted on account of that hair.
