Fun? Serious? Depends on what my day was like.

Being a criminal in Gotham has to be at way more fun than being a regular criminal. The Cartel isn’t committing robberies while dressed in various holiday inspired costumes. I don’t see the Mafia recreating Alice in Wonderland across the entire city complete with musical numbers. Whatever Condiment King has going on.

Commercials for ai companions are extremely annoying to me because 100% of time the ai is helping with a problem that is already solved. “Hey HumanityDestroyerGPT, can you answer this question I could just ask a search engine except use enough water to empty a lake?”

Some good advice I follow when playing extremely difficult games is to cheat. I don’t mean use actual cheats, I mean use every cheap tactic available. Abuse every resource and find every cheese strategy their is. If a glitch happens to help you out I say use the fuck out of it before they patch it.

Social media has made us forget that some things should be private. So many times I’ll see some drama and wonder why they even posted that. Strangers on the internet shouldn’t get to have an opinion on your extremely personal conflicts.

AI art is getting all the hate it deserves, but people aren’t raising enough hell about AI writing. YouTube and TikTok are plagued by videos with AI scripts. It’s a little hard to catch but once you know what to listen for you’ll hear it. AI likes to use the phrase: “that’s not blank, that’s blank.” and “Not blank, not blank, just blank.” A lot. It also likes to refer to nouns like they’re alive? It will say things like: “the blank doesn’t care, so you keep going.” It’s annoying because they all sound the fucking same. It feels like the AI is just using the same script for every video and just changing some of the words.

My plot prediction for Chapter 5 is that Asgore will be an antagonist, just not directly. It’s all but certain that Asgore will have something to do with chapter 5, and I believe the next dark world will be in his flower shop. While it would be interesting to see a Deltarune style boss fight with him I can’t see him raising a weapon against his own son. Rather I think he will go full desperate divorced dad and try to keep Kris in the dark world. It’s clear that the divorce was hard for him and he still naively believes that things could go back to how they were. I believe Kris and the others will have to convince him to finally move on and accept that Toriel doesn’t want him back.

I’ve seen images of the new Ben 10 comic coming out and I’m honestly really interested. The designs of the aliens are much grosser and fierce looking than the shows, and it makes me think the comic will go back to the concepts roots. For those of you not aware the creator of Ben 10 originally wanted it to be more like X-Files. Real mysterious/creepy vibe. But it slowly became more superhero-ish as it evolved. This comic might be an opportunity to explore what we could’ve gotten had Ben 10 gone in a different direction.

Being an atheist in a setting where gods are definitely real must take titanium balls. Imagine living in a world where crazy cults are constantly trying to trigger the apocalypse, petty gods smite anyone who even kinda looks funny near them and heresy and blasphemy are considered real and punishable crimes. Imagine looking at all that, puffing out your chest and loudly saying: “you’re all wrong.”

I’m forever disappointed that Jumpforce was bad. I keep thinking about how good it could’ve been. It could’ve brought anime fans together. It could’ve been anime Smash Bros! I remember loving the trailers, but when it came out it felt underwhelming. We should still be talking about it. Their should be heated debates about what characters deserve to be in it. In an alternate universe we would be hyped as fuck for a sequel, But they dropped the ball. I still believe someone should try again. Maybe do what Marvel Rivals is doing or make it a single player experience.

Celebrities can sometimes ruin the mystery of a movie. Celebrity actors are expensive and get more people to watch your movie, so you can expect they will have a prominent role. So when I see them die early on or play a seemingly insignificant character I do a bit of an eye roll. That’s Morgan Freeman. Do you really expect me to believe he only has three lines?

A funny difference between Bob’s Burgers and other adult cartoons is how it portrays family life. In most of these family sitcom cartoons the family is often poor or at most lower middle class to make them relatable, but shows like The Simpsons and Family Guy were made a long time ago. Back when the economy didn’t suck and the wages were actually livable. Because of this their definition of poor still includes being able to afford a retirement home and a frankly nice house with only a single stream of income.

Bob’s Burgers is a newer show and has a more modern version of the working class family. Bob’s family is Broke. Their town is a bygone tourist spot and it shows with how terrible business is. One episodes B plot was literally about bob having to jump through hoops to scrape together 40$. They still use flip phones not because the show predates smart phones but because that’s all they can afford.

One thing that pisses me off when I hear stories about criminals is when they fumble everything. They have the perfect setup, and if they just keep doing exactly what they’re doing they will make enough money to live comfortably forever. But then they get greedy and arrogant. And that’s when they fuck up and get arrested. You were there! You were set! But nah you couldn’t resist buying that car or touching that cocaine. Why are you suddenly obsessed with building a massive empire? The cops didn’t even know you existed and now you lost everything.

So Jimmy Junior is definitely gay right? It’s so obvious I will be surprised if they do a time skip episode and him and Zeke aren’t partners. He radiates the energy of a closeted kid who doesn’t know they’re in the closet. I imagine Tina having the same epiphany other women have when they’re adults thinking about that one boy that things didn’t work out with.

"time traveler" actually most of the community prefers the term temporally displaced

My prediction for the ending of The Amazing Digital Circus is that everyone will die. I don’t believe there’s a way out, but if that’s the case where would they go from there? If they confirm that escape is impossible then they might instead try to destroy the circus. That way no one will ever be trapped again. Caine would definitely try to stop them, but after episode seven killing him shouldn’t be a hard decision. I honestly don’t see how else it could end.

I feel like for some of the factions in Warhammer 40K there is no true victory. If the Imperium wins they’ll just immediately devolve into civil war. Living in the imperium sucks and with no threats from outside people might decide to rebel about it. Not to mention the fact that most of the sub factions hate each other. If the Necrons win the ones who like being robots are going to butt heads with the ones trying to become flesh again. That might become war in heaven two.

The Orks are simple. With no one else to fight they’ll slaughter each other until the last ork standing krumps himself because there’s no point anymore. I feel like the Tau will eventually grow to become a second Imperium with all the horror that entails. The Tyranids and Eldar are the only two that win and then live happily ever after. For the Eldar absolute victory means victory over Chaos. That means no more Slannesh. The Eldar can finally live without the fear of getting soul chomped. The Tyranids will simply move to the next galaxy after they’ve cleaned out this one.

My plot prediction for the next episode of Digital Circus is that there will be turmoil among the humans. Obviously they will never trust Caine again, but I believe they will have trouble trusting each other as well. I’ve seen the theory that the blue button really would have freed them, and I believe that possibility will be on the characters minds as well. Zooble has logical reasons to be angry at Jax and Pomni. Pomni stalled pressing the button because she realized something wasn’t right about the situation, which gave Jax time to press the red button. It will be Zooble and Gangle versus Pomni and Jax with Kinger and Ragatha desperately trying to find a way to move forward.
