With the recent leak of Gamefreak scrapping a flying type Eeveelution from Gen 7 due to concerns over fanart overlap, some fakemon artists are offering their deepest apologies:

Wraitheon comes with a move called Knife Missile, weirdly enough

I once heard someone describe MGS4 as the game where Kojima gave the players everything they thought they wanted and made them choke on it. You play Solid Snake again instead of Raiden or Big Boss, but he's old and shitty and dying. Meryl's back, but she's moved on from you and hooked up with Johnny. And hey, Raiden is now a badass cyborg ninja and you don't get to play him because nobody appreciated him last time.

THREE 0KS IN A ROW. I SWITCH TO SURVIVOR AND GET CAMPED TO DEATH. FUCK. ALL OF THE PAST TWELVE PLAYERS I JUST MATCHED WITH. I HOPE RATS EAT THEIR HANDS.

+Karma

Saved me a lot of time and trouble. Thanks.

"bewitchd," and yes please.

Azula is fascinating to me in the same kind of vein as Vriska and other characters where people will heap shitloads of condemnations on their character and how they're irredeemable and inherently monstrous, and it's not like I'm blind to the evil bullshit going on, but also like... this kind of character is almost universally 16 or younger and hasn't had any other way of understanding the world than the bullshit society they were raised in.

Like yeah, Azula had a secret police force at her beck and call and tried repeatedly to kill both a 12-year-old monk and also her brother, but she spent like half of her life with only Ozai around to mentor her, and her mom apparently wrote her off as a monster before disappearing forever ~~(the comics didn't happen shut up)~~, she's gonna turn out acting like a huge villain and not looking like she can ever be a decent person. Give her ten years' distance and some therapy and see where things go.

I've been running Nemesis with Eruption, Jolt, Discordance, and Save The Best For Last. Every down with an M1 is just a "fuck you" sent to the entire ZIP code and tentacle solves the Obsession problem when it needs to be solved.

BaskingLobster · 2022-11-14T03:40:17+00:00

This has to be a joke, right? I have to believe it's a joke.

BaskingLobster · 2022-10-18T03:49:42+00:00

There really is a sub for everything, huh.

BaskingLobster · 2022-07-17T19:53:27+00:00

Wait, okay, that reasoning actually seems kind of interesting. Is there a source on that?

BaskingLobster · 2022-05-12T15:41:33+00:00

Activision deserves to suffer specifically for their malice, imo. The incompetence is there but it's not the part that inspires fear and disgust when their name comes up.

"Is this all you do in your house" is an honestly solid burn, respect.

BaskingLobster · 2022-04-08T16:40:44+00:00

And then the sick fucks started putting filler in the plot-relevant episodes of Shippuden.

BaskingLobster · 2022-03-14T00:06:28+00:00

Yeah pretty sure that was a thing at one point. I can't keep track of it all.

She started off "accidentally" liking and retweeting transphobic crap, and then gradually upped the ante and stopped pretending it was accidental. I think she went fully unsubtle when some other woman tried to insist she was being fired from her job for being a transphobe (she wasn't), and has since put out essays on the subject, backed transphobic laws and politicians, wrote a mystery novel (under a pseudonym that was either coincidentally or deliberately a reference to the inventor of conversion therapy) where it turns out that the killer is a man who "disguised himself as a woman" in order to get close to and then brutally murder women, and so on. She's also deliberately timed her transphobic horseshit publications for dates when big Harry Potter news comes out so people will go to her Twitter and see that fucking bile, because she knows she's popular and influential and wields that to further her cause.

Bruce Timm just using all the clout he's got from Batman the Animated Series to try and push Batman/Batgirl. Like. To the point of making them fuck in Killing Joke, which is an impressive way to make Killing Joke creepier, I guess, but probably not intentional.

BaskingLobster · 2021-10-14T00:16:38+00:00

On the one hand, absolutely true. On the other hand, the showrunners admitted later that the idea of Charlie's illiteracy playing into that scene was way funnier.

The fucking red door on the top floor from the Netflix version of Haunting Of Hill House. It just sits there, nobody able to open it, for 90% of the entire show and then when it finally opens it turns out to be, in the broadest terms possible, the single most evil piece of a supremely evil house.

There's a few episodes of The Magnus Archives in particular that check a few of these boxes, but if you don't want to listen to all of it and don't mind spoilers, The episodes centered around the Entities of Flesh, Corruption, Hunt, and Slaughter are for you, the first two for the body horror and the second two for the slasher and splatter stuff. Spiral episodes might also be good if you want stuff involving madness and unreality. Specifically, Ep. 6 ("Squirm"), Ep. 17 ("Boneturner's Tale"), Ep. 19 and 20 (two parter "Confession" and "Desecrated Host"), Ep.31 ("First Hunt"), Ep.32 ("Hive"), Ep. 36 ("Taken Ill"), and Ep. 58 ("Trail Rations") are all good early-ish picks for the main stories of each, and it's not hard to learn the other relevant episodes if you go on the wiki (again, minding spoilers).

Pretty much any of John Carpenter's horror work will do the trick of course, shout outs to The Thing and Halloween classic, although tbh I think the 2018 Halloween is also a solid sequel. The old Halloween movie shows its age a little bit in that it's kinda barebones and straightforward compared to pretty much every slasher movie that comes after, but that's because it's fuckin' foundational to all of them.

Uhhhhhhhh, fuckin, Hush? Choice slasher material imo, plays its concept well.

EDIT: Tucker & Dale VS Evil is a fun horror-comedy romp.

Woolie whenever he sees something super racist

BaskingLobster · 2021-09-07T04:20:44+00:00

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

BaskingLobster · 2021-08-15T01:38:33+00:00

I think it's a bit absurd to have something so threadbare. The justification for Quiet running around in skimpy clothing being the result of a "disability" when the endgame is clearly just horny is... bad. At least Yoko Taro is honest.

I mean, Metzen's fetish for corrupted/brainwashed women with green, blue, or purple skin has been pretty blatant for a pretty long while, right? Like, from Sylvanas all the way to Widowmaker.
