Finally got around to "Sonic the Hedgehog." I bet that isolation montage at the beginning hit a little different fourteen months ago.

@scribus The plot of a small-town cop trying to move to a city with more crime so that he gets to shoot people hits different today too!

Is this a bit? You don’t even have to get very far into it. There’s a 1970s Shake & Bake ad two minutes in.

@zeldatra I remember VHS tracking bars in the DVD of "Meet the Feebles," and my "Mothra" DVD only fills half the screen and looks like an 18 FPS framerate, but that is something else, lol

@scribus with such a massive library of stuff, a good 70% of which was super obscure and hard to come by to begin with, it's understandable that you have to use some weird sources since the original print is, in a lot of cases, not available, and they did do a really good job in a lot of areas - like managing to produce HD copies of things that were made decades ago - but it's insane to me that they didn't cut any of the commercials, especially since they DID cut contemporary movie trailers and multiple references to the NBC network, where it aired, from the same program. What was the editing standard?

Actual chimpanzees stack these grocery pallets, there is no other explanation for why they’re consistently so bad

@zeldatra I hear Jeff Bezos is working on training the really good climbers so that he can make his warehouses taller

I don't imagine there's anybody still here who knows A from B on MUSH softcode? Just trying to pay the taxi driver, man....

I've cut into my fingernail of my index finger and have split the damn thing in half. No major injury. Only the fingernail itself is affected. The lack of structural integrity there feels soo odd and annoying. Even with nail polish holding it together (borrowed a transparent nail polish from my mother) it turns out to be an annoyance. At least I'm not afraid anymore of the split going any further.

@scribus It's half as bad as it sounds. It's only a 5mm (1/5th inch) cut. I tried a new transparent matte nail polish and it looks almost as good as new, except for a little blood under the nail and a little bit of white around the cut. I applied 4 thick coats and the finger nail is usable for light work like scratching the nose.

Got my second Fauci ouchie, only feeling slightly apocalyptic about gathering, masked, in the husk of the old department store where I used to get my school clothes

@scribus the relief that I felt when I got mine was so strong, I almost broke down right there in my store.

In German the word for queue is "Schlange". It's the same word for the word "snake". "In der Schlange stehen" means "standing in the queue". Translating it literally it means "standing in the snake". I'm happy that the snake population in Germany is low enough that this expression doesn't mean anything bad except for wasting time.

@zeldatra I guess Florida does something to a human on a deep psychological level that the extraordinary becomes the mundane.

@zeldatra Blue Oyster Cult claim that Florida is the way it is because of an ancient curse on the conquistadores https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIdntHAhTv0 #theMoreYouKnow

Not to advocate violence, but wouldn't the world be a better place if more pranks videos ended with a college bro getting beaten to within an inch of his life?

@scribus Only tangentially related, but i was always a big fan of this video by Lyle Wrath & Chris O'Neill which basically subverts YouTube "savior" culture where wealthy YouTubers will make a huge deal about it when they donate to charity or whatever. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875874

@zeldatra I appreciate the satire, but it was a bit close to the bone for comfortable viewing, lol

Looking into getting a security job at the local old folks’ home. Twelve hour days but only 3/4 days a week, and I’d mostly just be filling out paperwork.

@zeldatra Twelve on your feet sucks, but twelve on your butt is mostly boring (or good writing time!)

I have “superior intelligence” but I still don’t 100% understand what makes Pickle Rick funny
Wednesday, 14-Apr-21 07:29:13 UTC from web-
@zeldatra Nothing. I enjoy anti-humor, and it isn't even that. It's like Musashi wrote, nothing IS a thing - a concept, or an awareness of absence. No-thing would be true nothingness, void, not even thought. Pickle Rick is no-humor.

@adiwan I think my friends' 8-year-old might still? It may be on his Plex, maybe I could finally finish FiM...

Watching "Way of the House Husband". Its animation is as minimal as it gets. It's more motion comic than usual animation. I guess they are fixed on recreating the manga panels. There are a ton of static images with pans and simple mouth animations. Sometimes there is a ton of shaking implying intense action but it looks odd when everything shakes but nothing moves. It's fine I guess but I had different expectations. Also an episode is divided into several smaller episodes that also recreate each manga chapter as closely as it can get. The pacing feels a tad off as the story starts and stops every 3 minutes.

@scribus I've never seen any movie he created (directed or produced). The closest would have been the Toxic Avenger cartoon. Maybe I've seen the first Toxic Avenger but I have seen so many clips of the movie my memory isn't sure about watching it at all. All assimilated by popculture osmosis.

@adiwan But Troma have managed to make feature films for a half-million dollar budget pretty reliably all the while, not inflation adjusted - $500,000 in 80s money for 80s movies, and still $500k in 2010s money for 2010s movies. And that has included some endearing jank, like a car flip/explosion they've used constantly since 1991 or so.

As I am catching up with Bob's Burgers I noticed that I somehow skipped Season 5 when it aired.

Planning to leave my job on May 1st. No idea what comes after that but I can’t work in this environment anymore. Probably gonna focus on YouTube for a bit while door dashing on the side so that I still have some money coming in
