The new GaMetal cover of Grapple Force Rena's final boss theme has me thinking about what these two might be up to 7 years later... (besides stealing each other's hair lengths)

A sketch of two characters:

"Rena, Age 22": A stocky young woman with purple hair tied into a ponytail, wearing an open sleeveless orange jacket over a dark blue sports bra. She wears thick bracers adorned with golden trim. She's smiling brightly, playfully nudging the taller woman next to her.

"Pine, Age 27": A taller young woman with straight, shoulder-length red hair. She wears a teal capelet over a breastplate, and a belt with a pouch on one side. She carries a sword in one hand, raising the other near her face as she chuckles quietly.

I love that in the middle of this discourse about the game mechanics and spoiler culture specific to the pokemon games, you went out of your way to be like “ALSO FUCK ASH.” and the best part is it’s probably the most reasonable thing you’ve said all night

Yeah I actually agree with that part

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

When you label something a "superfood" I expect it to work like a senzu bean which it never does

The debate around what is or isn’t “cancel culture” really just obscures a simple truth that it’s BAD to be massively racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic and it’s GOOD to speak out against injustice. Some things are good and some things are bad and it’s okay to say which you think are which.

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

I thought it might have been a run ender for me but then I realized if you do it right you can sprint through in one straight shot and only aggro two enemies (which you can ignore if you keep moving). Good thing too, because damn if that boss didn’t take me some tries

I didn’t understand why so many people were posting pictures of the red bounce flowers going HATE HATE HATE DIE HATE when I didn‘t have much trouble with them. Then I realized that a lot of people never found Wanderer and that makes a lot more sense. I don’t think I can switch off of it

Is it running between the flea circus and the bead-stringing machine, or is there a better spot I don’t know about?

Pat did you find one of your “alternate save files“ with a bunch of rosaries like when you played Yakuza 7? I wish I had one of those
