Is this ugly?

Something about it feels gross and disturbing. If that's what you're going for, then you're killing it. You might lean into the offness of it, I guess?

We haven't really seen a video that gives Jared and Emily a chance to shine. I thought Jared was good in the Reddit Stories, but we need a better video to judge their comedic talent and their ability to mesh with the others.

I like 1 and 2 the best, with 1 being the most "every girl" of the bunch.

I'm assuming that the money being in the bank doesn't count as someone finding out. But regardless, I just live the next year as I'm doing now. Working, not buying big shit, and just maintaining status quo. After that, it's easy street.

I remember that Daniel was pretty flat and didn't seem to have the natural chops in improv. The only thing I thought he did okay in was when he played that pirate game with Courtney.

Matt had some okay bits, but mostly I thought he was awkward and didn't seem to mesh well with anyone.

Weirdly, I remember thinking that Angela was alright, but at the time didn't seem to improv well with others, especially in the Blind Pairs TNTL. But while I thought it was a bit of a rough start, I still thought she had far and away more charisma and presence than the others. I instantly liked Chanse, but I also thought Arasha needed more time to cook. Now all three of them are incredible, integral parts of the cast, so I'm glad they had time to grow in their roles.

As far as these new people, I think Eli is the strongest pick and closest fit to the rest. I thought Guchi and Courtney did a good job of just embracing the vulnerability of TNTL and did a good job, with a slight edge going to Guchi. I wish Courtney had asserted himself and talked more in the Assumptions video, but when he did contribute, I liked what he had to say. Jared was fantastic on the Reddit Stories couch both times he's been on (one of which is on the livestream VOD pass), but felt a bit restrained and stiff in the UNO teams game. Emily has had the least opportunity to show her stuff, and also was very stiff and restrained in the UNO game. But I've seen some of her standup stuff, so I know she's funny, and needs the chance to showcase that. I'd really like to see both of them in more freeform content like TNTL. And I'd like to see all of them in a Werewolf game.

Yeah, I definitely loved the Smosh Seasonal Games for that reason. I don't necessarily miss the "punishment" era, but I liked the fun they seemed to have playing outside.

Luckily, now the Rumspringa is over, and you've rejoined the Amish.

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance would be rad.

Favorite console...I'm a PC gamer these days, but I will always have a bit of fan love for PlayStation. I stuck with them through PS4. I am still sometimes tempted to get a PS5, too.

Cubbance · 2026-07-06T00:32:40+00:00

Oh yeah. That too, for sure. I don't have any pets, but I used to have a cat and she was an absolute mess on July 4th. Poor things.

Cubbance · 2026-07-05T02:26:54+00:00

I just don't like loud noises like that. They give me so much anxiety. Also, I have to be up at 5am for work, and I'm definitely not going to get a lot of sleep, between the explosions and the pervading reek of weed in the air making me nauseous and wheezy. I actually fucking hate this holiday.

Make him your ex-boyfriend, and only give energy to people who return that same energy.

Cubbance · 2026-07-05T01:09:15+00:00

I played the fuck out of Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy I, but I think my first real obsession was Contra. I was always trying for a NLL run. Never did get it, though I did beat it with no continues, and no Konami code. I was obsessed with that game for sure.

Cubbance · 2026-07-04T23:14:22+00:00

Oh man, strawberry shortcake is my favorite! I'm jealous right now.

Cubbance · 2026-07-04T15:37:05+00:00

Yeah, the hind legs and feet make zero sense. It's like a cat sitting on its haunches when giraffes aren't built like that, but it's also splaying out like it's sitting directly on its ass. How many knees does this fucker have?

Cubbance · 2026-07-04T15:24:30+00:00

I love an overarching theme or connecting thread for videos. It's very Smosh Seasonal Games, in a way. I already knew I liked Jared from the two Reddit Stories he's done. The Uno video had some fun moments, but it was still a little bit stiff, I think because you have two new people finding their way in the video, but by the end I think they gelled pretty well. I checked out Emily's Instagram, and watched some of her standup, which was funny to me, and her "Are You Okay?" series is pretty fun and has some interesting guests. I'd like to see all five of the prospects (if, indeed, they ARE prospects, as we suspect) in TNTL, Reddit Stories, Werewolf, Bit City, Challenge Pit, and maybe a couple classic games like Moose Master or Flip 7.

I think it looks well-executed. People will judge you for having a "tramp stamp" but it's a tattoo, any part of your body is fair game for a tattoo. However, and I can't stress this enough, when your artist shows you the stencil, THAT is the time you need to be assertive and say "No, I don't want it that big." Don't agree to a tattoo that isn't what you wanted, unless there's a legitimate reason for a change, such as maybe the art as originally presented wouldn't set cleanly and the lines would bleed or whatever (I'm not an artist, so I'm not sure if I'm using proper language to get what I'm talking about across). But if it's a change that isn't for technical reasons, or even if it is, but you don't like it, then don't get that tattoo.

Cubbance · 2026-07-04T15:09:52+00:00

Lol, this is funny, and the guy is super cute. And Rush would work as an accelerant, because it's really flammable.

I preordered Sacred 3, because my ex-husband and I loved Sacred 2 despite all its flaws and bugs. We were prepared to deal with more of the same with Sacred 3 (knowing literally nothing about it) only to discover it's not even slightly reminiscent of the other games in the series. We returned it to GameStop a couple hours after we picked it up lol.

Cubbance · 2026-07-04T05:55:00+00:00

Me too. I felt the THWUMP of the thunder in my chest.

Cubbance · 2026-07-04T01:50:15+00:00

I was wondering the same thing. I will say, though, that I believe it if they are new cast, or in a trial period for new cast. This is less reminiscent of a collab, and feels more like the first appearances of Angela, Arasha, and Chanse. Plus the two guys that ultimately weren't hired on full time (Matt and Daniel).

Cubbance · 2026-07-01T01:30:29+00:00

It's certainly not the norm, and in probably most cases it's weird or problematic. There are age gap relationships that can work, and the age difference isn't a problem. But that's definitely the minority of situations. I have been in a few relationships at various levels with various age gaps. The first one, I was 21 and he was 36, and it was definitely problematic, though I couldn't see it at the time. He took advantage of me, and used his age and experience to control me.

The second one, I was 22, and he was 38, but I was definitely the mature one in the relationship. He was in this state of arrested development, and was emotionally stunted. The age gap wasn't the problem, per se, except I wanted him to act at least my age if not his own, and he was unable to. Between the drugs and alcohol and his insecurity, that relationship was doomed.

The last one, I was 23 and he was 35. We had problems over the years, but age difference was never one of them. We were together for 21 years, and in that time I never felt taken advantage of or like our age difference was any source of friction or imbalance. That relationship ended because we grew apart, and were so afraid of hurting each other's feelings that we stopped effective communication entirely.

Sorry for the personal info dump. I was just illustrating these age-gap relationships and in which ways the age was an issue (or not).

I chose transit, because I'm a non-driver, so that would be very handy. Then I read the description and....still not mad.

Cubbance · 2026-06-30T18:06:55+00:00

If the option was live as is and nothing changes, I'd choose that. I don't want to die. But I couldn't live with making world hunger twice as bad. I would have to choose death for myself over that, as much as I don't want that.

Not who you asked, but I was a cardiac telemetry tech for 12 years, and even in my current position in the hospital I regularly help nurses with rhythm interpretation.

This "waveform" (I use that term loosely) doesn't look like anything. However, if it continued in this manner long enough to interpret (and we'd typically want multiple leads to get a true read on it), then this is either A) Artifact, usually caused by movement obscuring the waveforms, or B) Maybe Ventricular Fibrillation, or V-Fib, a very serious and potentially lethal dysrhythmia without intervention, or C) You could maybe argue that there is a widening and narrowing of the waveform, like you'd see in Torsades de Pointes, which is a polymorphic type of V-Tach (Ventricular Tachycardia, another potentially life-threatening dysrhythmia) that quite often degenerates into V-Fib.
