  1. In MGS5, Huey has a bad habit of stabbing literally everyone he knows in the back. He tries to put Otacon, two years old at the time, in the cockpit of Metal Gear Sahelanthropus to be a test pilot, which his wife objects to somewhat. Naturally, Huey puts his wife in a Peace Walker AI Pod and batcavein suffocates her. This is AFTER he had already betrayed Naked Snake and MSF by letting XOF come aboard Mother Base while Snake was off on a mission. THEN he betrays XOF to go work for Snake again. Then he bizarrely decides to let a vocal cord parasite loose on Mother Base because I guess betraying people is in his nature? What I’m trying to say is that Huey is an asshole. And we learned already that HUEY’s father was one of the designers of the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima. But Otacon isn’t really like either of them, to the point that by the end of the series, he’s like the only one of Solid Snake’s allies who hasn’t stabbed him in the back.

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

  3. @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.

  7. @zeldatra I mean if you're one of those older seniors in high school, maybe, but that's only for a slim window of time and anyway I was 17 at graduation

  8. @zeldatra Sure. I have also read that. But when I look at the viewership numbers they were decreasing rapidly towards the end. I don't know what happened in April of 2009 but they might have spooked some people in the upper management in addition to the financial crisis. They could have at least resolve the cliffhanger and do a somewhat proper ending to the series.

  10. @zeldatra I'm trying to get the best drafts of my various writing projects together to move forward. I am not convinced that present-Me has managed "file organization" yet.

  11. @zeldatra Wish I had better advice than "Try not to get caught screaming in the parking lot about how you'd applaud the news that the manager killed themself." Bad management is the worst, man.

  13. @zeldatra I've been hearing this since high school, especially from my Cuban/PR friend who kept getting asked about life in Mexico

  16. @zeldatra I hope Ahnold runs again, but none of his recent movie catchphrases are memorable and the crowd just "Huh?" at each other over it

  17. @zeldatra Yeah, I don't get it, either. I think it depends on the plan, too. Some call for North/South, others up to five (5). Mostly I just riff because I doubt it'll happen. :p

  18. @zeldatra my apologies: Sacramento is closer to the center of the state. So nowhere’s safe.

  19. @zeldatra Ooh, if some state(s) secede, then California could split up and the flag wouldn't even need modification

  20. @zeldatra there's always agender i guess, i know people who use that term with that kind of sentiment. i feel pretty similarly wrt myself but at the same time changing anything about my identity would just insinuate that i care about it more than i do

  23. @zeldatra Borderlands II. A bad case of "You need to kill the boss before he pushes the doomsday button!" And then you kill them, with an acid rocket to the nards, all the way across the arena... and wait for a monologue, and a dead guy to push the cussing button anyway. It got to where I wasn't invested in the story missions because I knew nothing I accomplished would accomplish anything. !vgp # maybe?
