the horror of being "god's favourite princess". literally one of my favourite horror themes. the god loves you and it's so scary.

it will always choose you. you cannot die. you'll always come back because it loves you so much. you are its right and left hand, its eternal weapon. it will drown you in its light. light as horror. darkness as horror. what if it thinks you are its best friend.

you are god's favourite princess and it's terrifying.

underrated ship dynamic is 'they deserve each other /derogatory'

you need to start killing and eating these people

I was just thinking yesterday how people will now take any and all opportunities to dump their tragic backstory/current personal problems on strangers even when it isn’t relevant to what’s being talked about, and then I came across this person:

This was on a skit about a server who didn’t want to cut their own lemons and tricked the kitchen into doing it. Out of nowhere this random person cuts into a conversation about how fast a line cook could cut the server’s lemons to list off all the reasons THEY couldn’t possibly do it. Why are they inserting themselves to ‘um actually’? Because this person for some reason desperately wants the whole internet to know the intimate details of why they, a person who is not a line cook and also does not appear to be a server, can’t cut lemons quickly?

it's so amazing that the USA sees no problem with threatening us with annexation, ripping up the trade agreements they insisted on renegotiating, and dropping tariffs on us for anything and anything

and on top of all that, they actually think we should be forced to buy alcohol from them

[canadian-riddler]

I can buy real life trading cards for less than that lmao

Half the city, including half the city’s basements, flooded because we got so much rain at once, and as someone whose apartment is partially underground, I’m very lucky that didn’t happen to me

actually this is the other thing that stops me from buying new games I don't know if I'm going to finish. say what you want about achievement hunting, but maintaining this percentage motivates me to actually see a game to completion

those 'kill the final boss without being damaged' achievements were rough for a while there, but we pulled through

Sonic fandom is the biggest ‘we want the same but different’ fandom in the world. The Sonic subreddit really thought Sonic 3 was going to be a direct adaptation of Sonic Adventure 2 and complain about every minor deviation. They also complains nonstop that there’s barely any music from the games in the movies but like. You’ve heard every Sonic song one million times. It’s not a bad thing if they don’t make it a million and one by coming up with yet another orchestral arrangement

[canadian-riddler]

Sonic Adventure 2 doesn't even have a good story lmao, half the plot hinges on every character thinking Shadow looks like Sonic

[canadian-riddler]

I never finished Sonic Adventure 2 until last week and when I finally got to Biolizard I cannot describe how underwhelmed I was. Not only does the game not really explain what the Biolizard is, exactly, it’s not even cool. It’s a giant flopping lizard with some doodads attached to it that spins around in a circle on the floor inside a pond filled with lava. And then you fight it again in space while it’s attached to a space station. Where it flops around some more, only it shoots lasers at you now. I don’t know who that’s even cool for, outside of people who have nostalgia for it

[canadian-riddler]

still looks dumb 20 years later and still has no real explanation for why it exists

I didn't think Shadow could get any edgier, but Shadow Generations managed it

[canadian-riddler]

he has evil wings and an evil surfboard. Sega truly knows what the people want

[canadian-riddler]

I'm not 100% sure who was asking for Shadow to turn into an evil goo worm, but that's in there too

I have been enjoying seeing people experience food this World Cup

The person who wrote this has almost certainly never been to Japan- if they had, they would know that Japanese restaurants also offer table appetizers in many contexts. Some of them? Mexican restaurants. You can get free tortilla chips when you eat Mexican food in Tokyo Osaka Kobe Kyoto and rural HIMEJI for fuck’s sake. Those are just places where I’ve personally had free tortilla chips in Japan.

This is chat gpt trash prompted to “sound Japanese” and it’s based off of racist old movie dialogue. There’s zero correlation here to Japanese grammar and how Japanese translates into English or how a native speaker of Japan uses English. It’s slop. It’s racist ai slop rehashing Western exceptionalism, fantasizing about a Japanese person being in awe of how great the USA is. It’s depressing that people fell for this. I know it feels good to think that other people like us, and sometimes they do, but this only works if you assume Japanese people have extremely limited experience and worldview. It’s mortifying.

If someone other than me would push back against this propaganda, it would be nice.
