I'm glad I'm part of this community that's all going to hell for the exact same reasons... It took a significant amount of willpower to not start off with "Hermes better have those alphabet blocks locked down tight." But then.. it got me thinking about all the ways Futurama actually could've made more little references to the impacts of global warming. I mean, yeah, not really the message they were going for or anything. But, thinking about the song, and how Hermes said "there was a foot and a half of water." But as we're seeing rising sea level, warming oceans, stronger storms, they definitely could've pumped those numbers up. More on topic and relevant to my interests, this feels like it's sure to be awful for the coral reefs there. They're not in the greatest shape as is due to warming and all, and I know it struggled mightily to recover after the last major hurricanes decades ago. And, landwise, the region I had seen is... definitely not structurally prepared to handle anything like this..

..Prolly shouldn't make light of this, cuz it's sure to be horrifically catastrophic. (bonus: can't wait to hear about all the aid we're not sending.. better get those paper towels ready to throw...) This monster has been edging the whole Caribbean for a few days now, just hanging out and building up. It's looking like it's picked a course now. Predictions of 20-30+ inches of rain for most of the island. Possibly up to 13 feet of storm surge for the SE. (image is a day old, much closer now, landfall expected today)

Not really sure it holds up these days, even despite the high (at the time) production value, but it's wild how well remembered this one is.

Only just managed to get caught up (didn't realize Toonami would be rolling right into season 3 immediately), and, I'm just gonna call this out. I don't think the mother truly earned her redemption in the end. Sure, final act of self sacrifice is great and all. But, narratively, it lacked sufficient justification.The last we had seen of her, prior to possession, she literally had just told her kids to their faces that she wished she never had them (or whatever exact wording). And yeah, sure, we know that was largely by the influence of her lover.. but she was still full of conviction when she said it, and it tracked with her vanity/conceitedness and generally regarding him higher than her own kids. These are all pieces that fit together with what was presented. So, where's the exposition for what caused the change of heart from "I hate you" to "You're my treasure"? Where was any display of remorse for her words? Where was any acknowledgement of the harm she caused in the way she treated her daughters? I ain't saying any of it is fake.. just, writing clearly chose to gloss over all that to get straight to emotional impact. But, I think, on analysis, it leaves her looking a bit undeserving of the forgiveness.

This doesn't qualify as weird, but I needed somewhere to stash it. This is a reupload to avoid any age restriction nonsense Batman set to Dethklok. Animated in Flash. And damn does it genuinely look great. Also is just nice to take me back to the days of Metalocalypse in its prime.

From my last purchase, the important part I remembered, basically just stay away from anything "flagship." The mainline stuff, the things everybody knows because they're the only ones to get all the ad space and shit. For galaxy, that'd be the S series. The number of people that will actually ever utilize the top-of-the-line models to their fullest potential is probably triple digits or less. I personally like hitting up mid-range models, the A series. Some hardware compromises you'll probably never even notice, saves big money. Then I think there's some region specific lines you wouldn't need to worry about.

Followed up by some weird in the weird way. Seriously.. this one hurt my brain. This was a "that's enough internet" moment. I thought it was, like, a weeb parody band or something?? But, near as I can tell, they maybe actually are in Japan.. and judging by comments, clearly have a Japanese audience.. but listening to them utterly failing, and I mean not even trying to sound remotely Japanese is a mind break.

Weird in the best way, something so unique.

You guys had it in your basic package?? Last few areas I've been to, it's been in a premium package for a long while now. Big contributing factor for me just cutting loose.

This is undeniably praiseworthy. I'm watching along/ahead off of Toonami now that it's been picked up here. While I get the draw (lol, pun), initial impressions were a bad feeling that this is another one that starts off with an eye-catching premise, but the story, whatever it is, will lack a clear end goal. Feel like I'm getting burnt out on these shows that start out with potential, but end up taking too long to tell their story and it all just fizzles out.

Would the format have even worked if they dragged it out for 20 minutes? Surely you'd just end up with a soulless cash grab. But. In an era of Shorts and TikToks and so forth.. I could totally see that finding a new audience.

It's almost disappointing that a bot is able to recognize satire better than a lot of people we've seen read a VirtualSatyr story..

Stampede.. took some getting used to. Wildly different animation style. Major loss of that iconic soundtrack. But, given the chance, still tells a pretty good story.

Only recently realized how badly I dropped the ball on this one.. I'd largely written this off as out of reach without cable, since it wasn't on CR (and I'm not subbed elsewhere..). And just remembered. The [as] app does eventually offer eps to watch for free. A bit delayed. But eventually. Kinda looks like maybe some of them have already shown and are now locked, tho. Maybe get to watch the first episode at least....

And then there's this..

Discovered a new genre today: Chap hop

Kung Fury 2 needs to escape legal hell and release already, dammit.

Worth it for the 4 minute drum solo

Obviously her eyebrows were burned off by the blue flames. Cuz everybody's gotta have some reason to be connected to that event so they can hold it against him.

Some days, youtube just kills it with the wild recs

Does VirtualSatyr count? Wildly entertaining how he could rile some people up despite how over the top his stories were. Maybe DA EXPLOSIONS. I keep trying to think way back, but everyone I come up with that got people angry were just classic Ranters back when Rants was full of angry. I sorta seem to recall Mirage_Knight turned out to be a piece of work..

Not quite as exciting, but if you also want to help with fish science, there's also the FathomVerse app.
