@scribus I'm really hoping they get the funding for a proper series/movie, the "aesthetically pleasant, good for all ages funny animal cartoon" genre needs a revival.
-
@nerthos For real, dude. It's been too long since G and PG meant anything other than "little kids" and "bigger kids," Brandon Tenold does a great takedown of 70's PG vs Today in his video on Ralph Bakshi's "Wizards."

@scribus fun fact: more legal in Virginia than in West Virginia, and in fact most of the south. First cousins is a-ok in the Old Dominion.

@adiwan and then once the plan lands my risk of getting killed in a mass shooting also falls significantly

@zeldatra Lemme know how it feels to not need to scope the exits and cover opportunities for every building you enter

@scribus Downtown London is crazy man, kids in the suburbs were getting off school, came to the city on a train, and were just wandering about buying sweets with their allowances, never would’ve dreamed of doing that when I was a kid (I mean, mostly because the Washington metro didn’t hit my hometown until I was 25, but still…

@scribus As somebody who’s never been west of El Paso, Southern California is all the same to me, frankly you guys are lucky people even know there’s places besides LA over there
-
@zeldatra It would probably help if the Anaheim (OC) Angels didn't somehow become an LA team, and a FrankerZant car auction in the boondocks of Mira Loma, IE called itself their LA location, among other things like the city's history of swallowing up other towns (largely by calling dibs on water rights, which of course involved the flooding of a native sacred site) and the general fact that most of SoCal really is just one neverending urban/suburban/exurban sprawl
-
@scribus I was gonna say, the other day I saw a map of SoCal’s road network and it sure does seem like urban Los Angeles is much bigger than LA County based on that alone

I quit sleeping pills, which I developed an addiction to in 2019 when my depression got really bad, a little under a year ago during my first trip to the UK. I started taking them again in August after getting transferred to my new store but I’ve been a good boy since around October and I think I’ve finally kicked them for good. We’ll see how this year goes I guess.

@zeldatra If you get the insomnia but don't want to give in, I've made use of NyQuil or Benadryl to zonk out forcibly
-
@scribus tried this, it works for the night but then exasperates my insomnia so that I can’t sleep without some kind of aid for like a week, so now if I have any restless nights I just deal
-
@zeldatra suuuucks, been there man. Gratz on getting and staying off, though. Hope things settle.

Embarrassingly, I did not know that Parry Gripp was the guitarist for Nerf Herder until just now.
about a year ago from web-
@scribus That sounds rad. One of the script treatments I’m writing as part of this series pitch is a spoof of supernatural media & part of me wonders, supposing I had to stay on the web, how difficult/expensive it’d be to get Nerf Herder to perform a cover of the Swole Foods theme song for that one. Definitely one of my production fantasies.

Ooof... Yakuza 3 Remastered looks like it needs another remaster. It controls very weirdly and looks like a PS3 game.
about a year ago from web -
Red Dead Redemption 2 is my favorite game because I just robbed two trains and took hundreds of dollars of cash and valuables, and the game still considers me a decently honorable guy, but my friend killed a domesticated duck for its pelt and he is literally Satan.
about a year ago from web-
@zeldatra In Yakuza the protagonist is accused of murder but didn't do it. On the other hand in the actual game he breaks spines left and right, shoots people, jams a broken bottle into the abdomen, piledrive a person head first into the concrete floor. It's ok because after the fight they are shown to be alive but bruised.

@adiwan I’ve been playing through Yakuza Kiwami, haha. It’s my other favorite game right now.

Some lore about Kat’s father, the late Peter Matthew Reynolds:
He grew up poor in Denver, Colorado in the 80s and 90s. His father was an Irish immigrant who ran a pub downtown, and his mother left the family when he was young. Kat has never met her grandparents, and for good reason: Peter’s father was an abusive alcoholic who kicked him out when he was 16, after he impregnated the local media heiress, Katrina Analisse, Kat’s mother.
Peter’s childhood best friend was Clarence, the Twin Souls preacher. When Peter and his new family eventually moved to Virginia, Clarence visited often, and in the late 2000s, the two of them along with Mo formed a trio of inseparable friends.about a year ago from web-
At home, though, things were not great. Though he tried his best to provide for his new family after Kat’s birth in the late 90s, Peter was mentally ill, and his condition was exasperated by post-traumatic stress, developed as a result of his time in the military in the early 2000s during the US-led War in Turaqistan. After he was discharged for disobeying a direct order - he was ultimately unable to kill a disarmed insurgent who surrendered during a skirmish - he returned home a broken man, and often lashed out physically at his wife. They divorced when Kat was 12, and he passed away when she was 14. He’s buried in the Nova County Cemetery on the outskirts of town. Kat hasn’t been to see him since he died.
-
Having died young, Peter left behind a cast of characters who are approaching middle age that Kat has to interact with increasingly frequently starting in her mid twenties, when suddenly a bunch of sitcom plots start happening to her for seemingly no reason except that we’re watching now.

@scribus everything depicted on my channel is an allegory for the George W. Bush administration and the war on terror which makes it real. Discord is Saddam Hussein.

(It was tax-related. If they can’t even cut my taxes what good are Republicans? Because that was the last thing they could have done for me.)

@zeldatra Dude, man, sorry to have to break it to you, but you don't make enough for the Republicans to cut your taxes....

Admittedly I only have east coast prices to compare it to but I’m going to assume cigarette prices on the west coast are more comparable to New York than Virginia or North Carolina

Why did I think it was a good idea to try explaining magnets to a crackhead customer at work?
Sunday, 04-Dec-22 16:52:48 UTC from web-
@scribus love crackheads, I’m so glad that now that the metro stop in my hometown is open the crackheads who I banned from my old store in DC are coming over to my new store in the suburbs so that I can explain to them all over again that no, you cannot trade a gallon of canola oil for a carton of cigarettes like this is some kind of bartering station in Roman Greece

@scribus it’s not, but it’s probably fairer in the south than it is in California, a pack of Marlboros is still under $10 here (currently $8.32 after tax)

Was thinking about who I could get to voice Jesus in Swole Foods and realized I don’t have one (1) Jewish friend. These are the drawbacks to not being based in New York or Los Angeles like everyone else in my field.
Wednesday, 16-Nov-22 06:58:13 UTC from web-
@zeldatra Jesus was a roman-era Hebrew, so he's pretty distanced from modern day Jews. He's also only half Hebrew since only his mother's lineage can be traced, so arguably you could cast anyone eurasian for the role and not be too far off mark.
-
@nerthos I’m not genuinely that invested in an accurate casting, I’m voicing a south Asian guy which I obviously am not, I just briefly thought it’d be funny to make my imaginary Jewish friend do it

Ok, that’s the SECOND time a wildly unpopular asshole President has lost re-election in as many years. Seems kind of suspicious?

@zeldatra "Lose" is relative with <1% difference.
Brazil is quite screwed either way, Bolsonaro was quite disastrous, but Lula is downright horrid, ideology aside, any other option would have been better. On the plus side congress is stacked in Bolsonaro's favour, which means neither party can really do anything without the support of the other; theoretically this should mean they can only enact reasonable policy, but emphasis on "theoretically"

If I were a more talented developer, I'd add the option to pay me $7 for a blue tick here.

@nerthos i've been since msay, but i will go to france again in the end of november, for the last time finally

@scribus I would still go on an RDN roadtrip no questions asked, even though I'd probably have to shoot someone a few hours in at this point. Bonus points for a certain someone, in his own words, wanting to hit me with a wrench but 100% not brave enough to actually try if in the same room.
You're cool though, so we can eat fries after the fights die down.

Working on a paid project over the next few weeks. I will post... MY contributions here when I'm allowed. I WILL NOT post the project itself or even give the name because Gherkin will nuke my account.

@scribus it's not, like, i'm working on kanye's next video or anything like that, I'm just doing some extra backgrounds and 3D work and stuff, but the artist leading the project is a NSFW artist so you can probably guess what context this space ship i'm modeling is going to appear in...
