Random stuff from a nerdy ninja, rebloging whatever I feel like.

I saw Cats last night and I still haven’t recovered. Here is a play-by-play of my experience

The movie begins. The audience is rife with anticipatory giggles. Some lady in the back row loudly says “can we be quiet now, please? let us watch the movie in silence” in a displeased Russian accent. 

We will inevitably disappoint her

In the first 5 minutes, while crying with laughter, I decide this movie is actually about a human who gets genetically engineered into a cat and is exiled to a furrykin community.

5 minutes after that, I think about how good a movie this would be if it was hand-drawn animation and not CGI people-cats, and I become absolutely furious

Mice and cockroaches have human faces and bodies. The audience is screaming.

This film comes VERY close to having a dog on screen. I start sweating in dread of what it might look like. The dog is never shown.

None of the humor is funny

During the slow parts I start to imagine other celebrities in full cat CGI to amuse myself

Cat Idris Elba sexily Thanos-snaps another cat out of existence. Audible confusion ripples through the audience.

The cats do some extremely horny body work involving their tails. The audience is making disgusted noises. Several people yelp “oh NO” very loudly

At the end of a song, the throng of cats start “applauding” by slapping their hands on the ground and saying “meowmeowmeowmeowmeow”. This instigates a fight-or-flight response in me so strong that I nearly bolt out of the theatre.

During an awkward silence the camera cuts to a cat making a “yikes” kind of grimace and the whole theatre laughs because that is the exact emotion we are all feeling

A cat helicopters into the ceiling and is vaporized by cat Idris Elba. A man in the audience yells “GOTTEM!!” at the top of his lungs

Most cats are naked but somehow cat Idris Elba manages to be far more naked than all of them. The audience is screaming, again

Memoriiiiiiies. All alone in the moonliiiiiiight. “Please,” begs the Russian lady in the back of the theatre, sounding defeated, “don’t laugh. Not now.”

The actor who plays the main character gray cat who never gets a song explaining who he is (I am told he is Munkustrap) is DEAD SERIOUS about this role. He is a PROFESSIONAL. He is feeling being a cat so hard. Look at his face at literally any point (but especially during the final epilogue song) and I guarantee he will be having an intensely invested serious face journey. His shoulders must be aching from carrying this entire film.

110 minutes later, or maybe years: the credits roll. The audience cheers raucously. We exit the theatre in a daze. One of my friends goes home with a high fever. 10/10

Hit points in Dungeons & Dragons explicitly represent heroic luck and divine favour as well as endurance and bodily integrity, so if you survive something that logically ought to have killed you because the GM biffed the damage roll,  you are absolutely allowed to invent some bizarre coincidence that saved you.

[fuck-philip-banks]

fun thing to do in your d&d campaign: they only represent heroic luck and divine favor. make it so a level 20 character is the exact same physically as a level 1 character, but when both those characters fall off a cliff the level 20 always lands in a haystack.

The whole party’s out there Mr. Beaning their way through a fight with a dragon. The fighter just evaded its breath weapon by tripping over a skull and falling into an open treasure chest – the poor lizard can’t figure out what’s going on.

CHECK OUT MORE PICS OF GAME FREAK'S MASSIVE DIORAMA OF POKEMON SWORD AND SHIELD'S WILD AREA

As we’ve featured before, Game Freak built a massive diorama of Pokemon Sword and Shield’s wild area. We’ve seen a few pictures and gotten a virtual fly-through, but those didn’t really give off a good sense of scale. Now we have a new batch of pictures featuring Junichi Masuda, which give us a much better idea of how big this thing is!

It's fun to see this kind if breakdown, even if there's not much surprising here (other than maybe how drastically preeminent human fighters are when they are such a good race for literally any class).

Obviously I get why certain pairings are more common - I'm currently playing a dwarf fighter for Moradin's sake - but I find characters that play against type really compelling, and I've thought of ideas for quite a few. I think I'll start sharing some of those concepts here, since there's basically no way I'll ever get to play them all myself.

Me, getting out a magnifying glass to choose my next character:

Do y’all know where the phrase “eat the rich” comes from or do you just repeat it cause you heard it elsewhere?

It’s not a bad thing, I just saw someone say “we never said who would eat the rich” and realized a lot of y’all might not have heard the full quote

It’s from Rousseau and it’s “When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich"

And, well, there’s a lot of people with nothing to eat…

[insanitysscribblings]

The poor cried,

"We are starving. There is no more bread, and we have nothing to eat."

The rich man said,

"Not my problem you don't work for your bread,"

as if he did not snatch away the grain by his own greedy hands and create filling bread for his own overflowing mouth.

The poor cried,

"We are dying. There is no more medicine, and we're all ill."

The rich man said,

"Not my problem you don't take care of yourselves,"

as if he did not buy all the medicine and raise prices so high

the gods themselves would not

be able to reach.

The poor people

stopped crying,

and the rich man was satisfied...

Until they came knocking at his door one night;

their faces were sunken,

their flesh decaying,

their eyes sightless.

They were monsters

of the rich man's

own making.

As they devoured his flesh,

the rich man cried,

"Please, spare me!"

The ravenous zombies said,

"Not our fault

you fattened yourself

for slaughter."
