Minute 37 and the cringe begins.
about a day ago from web-
@drinkingpony The MLP episode of The Toys That Made Us on Netflix. There was only a brief segment about the male demographic of MLP fans. It was a bit cringy. Could have been definitely be worse. I flinched only twice during that.
-
@adiwan I think I flinched twice while reading your explanation. They put anything on Netflix these days don't they ?

Ha ha ha of course the library closes in five minutes as soon as I arrive. What's with closing early on weekends? Open late and let me watch cartoons, if you want a half-day. Who's waking up early on Saturday?

So, we had a nine-year-old shoot up their school with a BB gun now. That will forever be a thing that happened.

@scribus Gotta get them started early, this country has become too much about putting things off until your mid or even late twenties.

Thankfully the cringe was very short. I expected it to be worse.

I'm barely prepared to cringe 45 minutes with the MLP episode of The Toys That Made Us. Any time "bronies" are mentioned it is hard for me not to cringe. Compulsively retracting all my muscles in disgust.

The plan is to eventually have every possible recurring setpiece modeled in a 3D space using shaders that flatten it out as much as possible and textures that make it look like an oil painting so that I never ever ever ever have to draw another background for the rest of my life.

Wonder how long until my old high school gets shot up, and if Bruce Springsteen has written a song about that yet
about 2 days ago from web-
@scribus Why is it ohkay if Bruce does it but probably front-door-destroyingly bad if you write the song yourself ?
-
@drinkingpony Because he's the Boss! And my song title alone wouldn't fly past the fruit filter, lol.
-
@scribus Well, you are small fry, yes, but you just need a big hit to pop right through the filter and put your name out there.
Even the video game Hatred got through the filter. I mean, not like it should have the way it did, but, it did.

I'm preparing my CNC router for a minor upgrade. I plan to attach a plastic canvas cover for the rails and the threaded rod such that the crap I cut doesn't land on them. It's not an expensive upgrade or a technical improvement but more an improvement for maintenance and convenience. I was cutting some clear plastic (polystyrene) and that stuff was magically drawn to the lubricated rails and threaded rod. I had to wipe everything off and lubricate again.

Well, the post office lost my package. And they made sure to remind me it wasn't insured. Because I should have to pay extra for you to be basically accountable for your core job? Contacted the merchant for replacement.

@scribus I think that the standards for USPS employees are actually lower than just having a smuggler send you whatever you want on a Chinese freighter

@mrmattimation Smuggler ? Wait, what. That took a turn.
"Yeah, ehmm, Mr Ranger Solo sir, Could you please get this package of legal computer components to my friend in California ? Why no, I do not object to haveing it being transported in between the cocaine and MDMA."
P.S. I do not know any Chinese Smuggler names, I do know that the Solo Star Wars Movie was renamed to Ranger Solo in China.

By now it's a tradition to change the "Han shoots first" scene with each new release. I was once on the purist side of the fandom who wanted the unaltered scene but now I've grown out of that attitude and just watch the drama from the outside with no emotional investment.

apparently in Pokémon 2 you can finally commit treason against the government which is good because before we'd never even seen the government

As opposed to feeling odd topically.
about 6 days ago from web-
@scribus Isn't that just a fancy way of saying 'odd things that are related to the topic'. Such as pretty much everything used to make fun of the situation in every abridged show ever.
For some reason I have to think of this thing
http://rainbowdash.net/url/875304
"The Gods are showing us the truth about our past, I give you our sexy ancient Egyptian ancestors"
You know the rest.
I love oddical topicness, or oddness topical... or... well now both words and all variations thereof just sound made up to me.
Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@drinkingpony I had meant less "odd things" and more "things which are relevant, but to an unexpected degree." Which probably has a 90% overlap, anyway.

I just had the new She-Ra explained to me by a die-hard fan of the old series
Essentially she thinks it is like taking a beloved franchise that she feels she has supported thoughout the years, by buying merch and all. Someone got their hands on that IP because essentially you can not 'make' a new IP work in the modern oversaturated world. Then added so many new borderline cringe modern 'themes' to it till it pretty much only resembled the beloved She-Ra only in name. I mean For Fox's Sake (I choose to believe she actually said 'For Fox's Sake') they put a first draft D&D character into the show for crying out loud.
Imagine your grandmother learned you how to make granny's apple pie, and then 20 years later she asks you to make her some apple pie just like how she used to like it. Only to have a conversation not even 5 seconds after gramma tasting it about "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU TOOK OUT THE ASBESTOS ?!?"
Strange woman, but made some sense.
I only know 1 person who likes new She-Ra.about 6 days ago from web- Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

@drinkingpony I find most people who complain about "what they've done to my beloved (X)" are upset that (X) is anything more than a 22-minute syndicated toy advert now. "My Little Pony, but with a PLOT and ACTION and CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!? Clutch my pearls for me, I'm so weak..."
-
@scribus Bad example. I liked the original MLP, G2 too, G3 however can go straight to the trash IMHO. Oh and if anyone remembers G3.5. Stop doing that. Thanks :)

@drinkingpony Yeah, I knew it wouldn't make the best example, but for some reason it felt oddly topical...
