*Huge* oversight with the Nautilus's in minecraft is that they can be trapped in boats and suffocate on 'land', but they're so huge, you can't destroy the boat to save them.

Still can't stand people who mix up motif and theme. If you can literally see it in the picture/film/graphic, it's not a theme. A theme only appears through argument. A piece of media can have a lot of dead guys in it, and death still wouldn't be a theme, just a motif.

AAAAAAAAAA

Trust me, reviewers weren't given enough playtime to judge the first playthrough of games either. It's always been based on vibes at least 50% of the time.

Whiteboard drawing of the Yu-Gi-Oh card Fungi of the Musk and the Palestinian flag, with the text "Boy I sure do love the Yu-Gi-Oh card Fungi of the Musk which is what this is and definitely not anything else", alluding to the fact that the card looks like a penis but that's not what it is I swear

In Super Smash Bros., the skeletons visible when characters are hurt by electric attacks are not tied to specific animations, and instead are a form that can be toggled on and off at any time, including in cutscenes. Below are excerpts of the game's intro, with skeletons.

You know that bit where you can shake your fist and go "Fuck you, Reagan" at any societal issue? You can also spit and go "Boil in hellpiss, Thatcher" in the same breath.

Just seen a headline which asks "Thatcher was born 100 years ago and her reign feels a lifetime away. Why is her effect on the country still so huge?"

It's because she was a massive bastard. Hope that helps x

I am increasingly convinced by the argument that Trump's inner circle is showing him AI videos of whatever they want him to believe

I hope it turns out great for them, but I can't for the life of me think of a good reason for Replaylee to be this fuzzy.

Like for real. The plot of Spirited Away is about a kidnapped child forced into a life of indentured servitude in realm of gods after her mother and father are magically forced into becoming pigs by a witch. Meanwhile, Princess Mononoke exists.

Whenever someone uses Ghibli or Miyazaki as a synonym for "quaint, charming, unthreatening" I'm always like "bro did we watch the same movies?"
