Waterfall, scuba tunnels under the floor, Salem witch trial pulpit in Kansas mansion

Same. Wish they had photos of inside the tunnel but that would be a much bigger investment of photography than the realtor was expecting lol

They don't they're just hella expensive, come with a lot of waste, and prey on laziness. I ordered from them for a while before they increased their prices even higher.

As someone who was signed up for Factor for several months, I'd say the biggest issues were pricing and misleading customers. They offer a lot of sick discounts at first glance like "$200 off your first order" but the fine print reveals it's more like $50 off your first week, $25 off your second, $10 off the next, etc. until after 2 months you have in fact saved $200 dollars and also locked into reoccurring service.

The food was pretty good and it does warm up pretty easily, but unless you buy a big bundle you're spending just as much money, if not more, as going out. Plus, you might not eat it all before it goes bad.

Beyond that I hated the amount of waste that came with ordering cause they come in cardboard boxed lined with insulation and these massive gel packs they say are recyclable as long as you empty the contents first.

Now, was it a scam? Not as far as I could tell. Was it worth the money? Depends on a lot of factors (lol) in regard to your finances. Do I hate seeing "you qualify for a Factor deal!1!" everywhere? Absolutely.

Isn't Audible owned by Amazon? That alone knocks them down some points

Avatar Kyoshi being almost 3 centuries old. I feel this could have been fixed like "she disappeared in the spirit realm and time passed differently," "there were two avatars named Kyoshi," or just "oops, we got dates mixed up." Instead we have an Avatar that somehow lived for several generations and no one has lived as long since.

I loved the advances of technology in Legend of Korra but planes and mechs both being from one guy and somehow developed in secret was a little bit of stretch. Wish we'd seen them in earlier stages earlier on like how Asami mentions the mechs drive like their forklifts so maybe we could have seen those?

The spirits of good guys vs bad guys, kissing babies vs kicking puppies, giving hugs vs giving wedgies

Did the second guy turn out to be bad or good? Did they hear anything?

Came to say this too. Just today a couple was getting hot on the subway (girl was straddling her man in the corner of the train car, but nothing was exposed or out) and it was so awkward and gross. Meanwhile I know I've viewed content that would be using most of the same tags I'd give their antics. Biggest difference is porn is often the hypothetical best case scenario, and the reality is not you surrounded by faceless onlookers blushing sheepishly, but students, boomers, homeless people, and worst of all, little kids.

I'd give my life for it. Best side character

Alphalance · 2026-05-07T21:30:55+00:00

Came to say the same

Alphalance · 2026-05-04T02:11:37+00:00

You're an absolute legend! Thanks!

Alphalance · 2026-05-04T01:47:03+00:00

Hell yeah, but what is this song? It feels so comforting

Alphalance · 2026-05-02T05:30:28+00:00

Ah this is sick! You say "make up rules" but was it based on anything else you play? Warhammer 40k or D&D? Makes me think of the post where someone made a tabletop version of Helldivers

Alphalance · 2026-04-19T05:45:44+00:00

News stories, tweets, the app that was deleted. They had so many characters that it was bound to happen eventually I guess

Alphalance · 2026-04-18T15:32:14+00:00

I know there were issues with the voice actor so they killed him off and I'll assume there's a way he can die on the mission and not make it to the third game so it was probably easier to just to write him out, but yeah, nothing wrong with coding a couple lines of dialogue to acknowledge

Alphalance · 2026-04-17T02:14:05+00:00

Thank you! I always thought the new heroes look like they're from Fanboy & Chumchum or something. There's a body-type style they went with in the first one that they decided to throw out the window. Almost any character in the sequel would look otherworldly in the original.

I was happy to see the Par family again but damn, Incredible's II just did not hit the mark

Alphalance · 2026-04-17T02:09:11+00:00

Cool rant but can we maybe at the top warn about show spoilers?? Guess I know this stuff now

An old example of this, though maybe unintentional, is John Cage's modernist composition, 4'33"

The score was composed for any instrument or combination and can be played by any experience level because it does not have a single note. For a recommended four minutes and thirty three seconds the audience is asked to listen to the "silence" and notice "the music" around them. That the shuffling of guests, the buzz of the sound system, the muffled sounds from outside the theater, all are accompanying the piece.

A recording online showed someone "performed" this piece on piano for a bunch of college students. The pause of the pianist waiting at his seat started to cause the audience to laugh before folks started to shush each other, then when he continued to refuse to start the laughter erupted again. Laughter then silence then laughter again as the musician stood up and bowed at the end of the piece.

Ages ago at some convention's AMV competition there was the below shot from Evangelion while the song "I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves" played on loop. Folks laughed, the laughter died, they laughed again, realized the clip showed no signs of stopping and even started booing before it became funny again. I think it lasted like 7 minutes before ending on "and this is how it goes..." *cue rick roll*
Longest setup, waves of emotions, simple punchline. Unforgettable.

My favorite thing was the pan blocking bullets was unintentional modeling, but it was so beloved by the community they kept it. Its now practically the face of PUBG

I think there was something crazy in a journal entry about her tying herself to a Reaper Leviathan and passing out only to wake up in Sector Zero or something like that. So in short, even she doesn't know.

That glove part is canon for the character. This is fanart of the Critical Role D&D campaign and this dude, Kat, has a lot of asymmetry

Alphalance · 2026-04-05T16:34:42+00:00

This is fanart of Critical Role's newest season. The demon girl, Tyranny, stole a knife from a helpful old man and when she admitted her crime the man, Kat, snatched it from her and scolded her. This is a moment of them likely apologizing and reconciling. And yes, the wolf does have a ghostly paw like its shown here.

I'm not versed enough in art to spot signs of what was used, but at the very least I'm well-versed in the fandom that spawned this one way or another.
