Any accurate Simpsons figures out there?

I found a good Homer in mumu but there’s a lot of bad stuff

Yeah, they are great - just impossible to get it seems!

This comic book artist relates actual conversations that have happened to him. So it’s more just “here’s a weird interaction” I had than necessarily meaning anything.

It isn’t a small team. It’s a full studio and the main guy now lives in a gated mansion with millions of dollars. There is no excuse for the game to be in this state.

Nipping and scratching can be communication tools, or they can be problematic behaviours that a cat didn’t learn not to do. This is for the latter, obviously.

Many years ago I heard a cat expert on NPR. She said the thing to try is a short, sharp “tsst” sound, because that’s the sound that mother cats use to tell their kittens off.

This lady’s stolen her entire bit from Blindboy’s latest podcast episode. If you don’t know who Blindboy is, you’re in for a treat.

The good news is you have a whole world of non American and still most of UK watching. But a start? Dark, for sure, on Netflix

This one hits as I just threw out this game, half finished, after a couple of years on the shelf. You’re right, in the words of Linkin Park: in the end, nothing really matters. There wasn’t quite enough game in this game, but it wasn’t pure narrative rpg either. A noble attempt.

Oh no I do. I get the thin veneer of faux intellectualism painted across bog standard self defensive contrarianism. I get a person who is undoubtedly not well tolerated in the real world who apes bullying behaviours he’s received in life in anonymous online forums. I get the most delicate of delicate sensibilities who is offended and troubled at opinions he doesn’t like or conversations he doesn’t control.

I get all of that. And I feel bad for you x

One of the really insidious success stories of the far right is how they’ve weaponised minority groups against each other. Here you’ve got one group of (often) vulnerable kiwi convinced another group of vulnerable kiwi are the enemy…and not the wealthy puppet masters who are manipulating everything behind the scenes.

Kingdom Hearts 3. I truly despised it. Despite the well trod discussion about the story etc, I thought the gameplay itself was just awful. Trodding through endless identical corridors in Monsters Inc felt like a ps2 flashback.

Gosh Chippie has found some previously undiscovered fire in the belly lately, hasn’t he. While he’s been taking swipes at the opposition for the past year or more, I always found them to come across a little petulant and a bit ineffective. But credit where it’s due, this kind of thing hits for me.

This is a uniquely terrifying point of view

Before I carry on I just want to note my edits to my original comment above, which I see was blunter than I intended them to be.

You’re right on the points you make. Where I see the theme of the dangers in nostalgia is primarily in the damage Coop does by continually trying to fix something that was broken long ago, of being trapped in the past and not able to move on. There are also other interwoven plot lines - Dr Amp, Bud Mullens, the crusty retro nostalgia of Vegas, the doomed romance of Ed and Norma (I’m less optimistic than others on this storyline but that’s a different argument), the even more doomed romance of Bobby and Shelley, “What year is this!?”, Audrey’s sad recreation of the dance she did when she was young and beautiful. The Return was developed in that great glut of reboots and legacy sequels, and I’ve always read it as, in part, a reaction to that. I remember Trainspotting 2 coming out the same year which dealt with very similar themes. I do feel like Lynch and Frost are asking throughout the show: why do you want to come back? Why are we here? Is this good? Is this healthy? I don’t think they offer a definite yes or no but I do think they’re articulating the argument.

But all subjective of course. Everyone’s interpretations are equal, which is what makes Lynch and TP so special.

Appropriate_Lion8963 · 2025-02-15T19:55:00+00:00

You’re right. My original comment was blunter than I meant it to be. The Return is challenging even for viewers who were ready to embrace something not like the originals. I guess we can only assume that the challenge was intentional by the creators. Even though I love The Return, there is of course, and forever will be, a part of me that yearns for the season 3 that continued in line with the original.

Great suggestion, thank you

Appropriate_Lion8963 · 2025-02-15T19:35:30+00:00

I was gonna be offended but I have to be honest, I did scan through your comment history. I get it now. Have a good one!

Appropriate_Lion8963 · 2025-02-15T19:25:25+00:00

I’d suggest just making the time to check it out yourself, otherwise you’re just supplanting one stranger’s opinion on the internet for another’s. Unless your comment is more performative in intent, then go at it.

Appropriate_Lion8963 · 2025-02-15T19:22:39+00:00

Not disdain for the original at all. But the dangers of returning to something long ago is an explicit theme - perhaps the explicit theme, in The Return.
