seeing more people get upset at eve for having an abortion than the viltrumites who have committed mass genocide and are now covertly using the human race as breeding stock, or at mark for allowing it, just reminds me that it was a wise move to disengage from fandom culture a long time ago.

caine is gonna jump out at the end of ep 9 and go "congratulations on beating the caine insane in the mainframe adventure!"
I am BEGGING you all, nobody tell taylor swift about elizabeth bathory
so there's 100% gonna be an eggman version of mechagodzilla right? like, mechagodzilla but with a big metal mustache and round glasses? probably powered by an emerald of some kind? we're all in agreement on this, right? I bet they call it the meggagodzilla.
NO SPOILERS but you would not believe the drama we had around names in the first few drafts of the Sonic X Godzilla plot!
I would come up with names, my (old) editor would hate them, I'd come up with other names, somebody else would hate them, etc.
It got to the point where one draft of my plot had a whole running gag where Eggman keeps giving everything terrible names and Team Sonic was groaning about them for the entire crossover.
We still have a few name jokes in there but not like it was, it's way chiller now.
omg senpai noticed me
also this is the funniest goddamn thing, I cannot wait to read these 💜

the entire plot of expedition 33 could be solved by judge doom with a can of dip
i'm tired of hearing that monoco is a foot fetishist. he's french, he's a meter fetishist.
this godzilla/sonic crossover will be worth it if ONE guy looks at Perfect Chaos and then at Biolante and goes "hey wait a fucking minute"
grippy socks, grippy honmoon
wicked for good
fun fact, it's a lot faster to close grindr and reopen it than it is to wait for the ad to get the little x, close it, and close two more screens of the same ad, follow me for more gay anticapitalist tips =)
I think Silksong is a bad game.
I hate that I have to preface this with my cReDeNtIaLs, but we live in a gaming space where criticism is brushed off with a plithy "git gud" or "lol casual." Hollow Knight is one of my favorite games, I've 112% completed it and beat P5. I enjoy challenging games, and Hollow Knight especially.
I'm in Act 2 of Silksong. I got into the Citadel through the Mist, and now I'm doing Last Judge just because I can.
Look, by now the whole disk horse around Silksong's difficulty isn't new. The game is hard, we all know it, the disagreement seems to be whether or not that difficulty is a bad thing. I come down firmly on "yes, this is a bad thing" specifically because a lot of the difficulty comes from mean-spirited design decisions, not challenge. Don't get me wrong, there are some really great challenges in Silksong. Widow is a fantastic, challenging boss fight (my new favorite in the series so far), Last Judge is tough as nails but really well designed, and some of these tougher platforming bits kick my ass in a way that makes me say thank you. But the double mask damage from everywhere, the healing system making silk skills a bad idea, the janked up economy, all of that stuff is pretty well trod.
What drives me crazy is when I see reviews and breakdowns that clearly states that those design decisions are bad, but don't worry guys the game is still good!
eh. no. it isn't. If any other game pulled these design punches, the gaming community would correctly call it out as a bad game. Seems like Silksong gets a pass because it's Silksong.
I feel like the only one over here saying "no actually that makes this a pretty bad game."

my favorite part of epic the musical is how faithfully it adapts the odyssey, especially that part where odysseus had a jetpack
humans are cosmic wasps
it turns out the reason we haven't discovered aliens in the universe is twofold. first, humans are unique among cosmic life. most aliens aren't species of multiple creatures like we are, they're singular and massive. the universe is full of what we would call gods, each one unique and strange. humans are many, covering our world like wasps cover a hive or ants occupy a colony. that, after all, is what we are: we are a colony. aliens are to us as we are to wasps: gargantuan individuals, so unlike the hive.
but are we? are we really that unlike the hive? we spread, we convert local resources into our homes, we built our entire societies for the benefit of a few individuals as hymenoptera build for their queens. on a grand enough scale, the comparison is apt. we can't find aliens because we're looking for wasps, for other creatures that spread and consume their planet's resources, ignorant of the true nature of the godlike entities that fill the cosmos.
that's the first reason.
the second reason is that we are wasps, and we terrify Them.
we are rightfully terrified of a wasp nest. it doesn't matter that we have dominated the planet, that we've built systems of thought and action that they could never understand. what good is understanding a tax code if an angry wasp nest swarms around you? can having millions in the bank save you in that horrific moment when the air is full of buzzing and pheromone and tiny, angry hornets? try to explain to the army ants that you are a Very Important Person and they'll carry your flesh away in their single minded march all the same.
the aliens see us, and they understand us for what we are: a colony full of simple, dangerous little things. if they disturb us, we will swarm and sting and kill, even if we don't mean to, even if we're just Defending The Colony from a misunderstanding. they know better. they know to leave us alone and leave us blissfully unaware of their cosmic presence.
we are humanoptera, and the gods fear our sting.
(this also suggests that there are gods who are allergic to humans and i think that's funny)
headcanon: jinu's entire boy band plan came about because he just really likes pop music and some other demons caught him dramatically doing a song and dance routine to k-pop.
"uhhh heyyy jinu whatcha doing there."
"t-this isn't what it looks like! i'm, uh... practicing for an evil plan!"
and it just kind of got out of hand from there
if I were writing a KPDH sequel I wouldn't focus on ground we've already covered in the first movie, I would focus on advancing to new ground. no bringing back jinu, no redemption arc for the saja boys, nothing like that. so, what would I do?
I'd expand on the central conflict and themes by making rumi's demon heritage a problem in a new way. in the first one the conflict was her lack of acceptance of herself, now let's do one about her lack of acceptance from others. how do we do that?
we introduce another group of hunters.
they can't be the only ones doing this in the world, right? maybe it's another band from a different country, maybe it's some librarians, maybe it's the lawn care professional demon hunters from kentucky, it could be anything. at first huntr/x is thrilled; another gang of wacky people to fight demons with!
except rumi is a demon, one who destroyed the honmoon. she's a threat that needs to be taken down down down.
now huntr/x has to fight to defend rumi and maybe change some minds about not judging people for immutable things about them. huntr/x has a new perspective on demons after accepting rumi AND seeing jinu sacrifice himself against gwi-ma, and they can follow up on one of the most important and overlooked moment of the movie: when rumi asks the demon if gwi-ma is making them do this.
gwi-ma whispers messages of hate into the rival hunters' ears. mira and zoe can get some expansion on their insecurities, motivations, and familial styles as they adjust to being on the hunted end of the equation. they could walk away at any time, and rumi has to know that, and that tension is a GREAT springboard to explore and expand on the themes of the first movie.
and just think of how hard the songs will slap from the perspective of a group forced to defend their right to exist against people who should be their allies.
can't imagine those themes being relevant today.
