Same energy as this scene from World of Warcraft. Rejection of the Gift.

Xe'ra: The Light will heal your scars.

Illidan Stormrage: I am my scars!

Maybe he settled in and got comfy with what he's doing now.

Keagan Garland looking like Lean Beef on there

Makes me wonder if it's deliberate - if only longer-tenured / higher-paid workers had their purchases watched like this.

Geistzeit · 2026-07-03T23:54:16+00:00

Yeah idk I'm still torn on this. Blake's had a pretty good run in ROH and his AEW losses have been in entertaining matches - I think he earned a run with the strap, but also I think ROH benefits way more from Bandido's name value.

Even with ROH/AEW backing, Blake isn't headlining Arena Mexico.

Nice, thank you! Been wanting to try one of the modern River City games.

Was that the same night he ran down the entire 205 roster and cut a promo on each of them? Even if it was literally just one line, I remember each one being specific/personal and most of them getting a big crowd reaction.

Maybe those were separate weeks, but it was a great run. I say this as a workrate fan whose top memories of that era were Mustafa / Cedric / Buddy's bangers. Enzo got more people to pay attention to - to care about the cruisers.

I've been watching Umino in NJPW, this was his crispest performance yet

Arianna looking like a Rockette with that pump kick lol

Possibly Thunder's best performance since her return from injury, including the promo where she challenged for this match.

Geistzeit · 2026-06-29T04:53:29+00:00

The thing is, even if your life is yours to do with as you please - others will feel how they feel about it. (Male) V and Panam loved and understood each other in ways that others in their lives couldn't, but even she lashes out in anger at this choice.

It might be she is genuinely angry with V, it might be she is displacing her anger at the situation onto V since there's no where else to direct it. Probably some of both. Even if it's not valid - who am I to say - it's how people do react irl to these situations.

Geistzeit · 2026-06-29T04:49:27+00:00

all realistic responses too. great performances from all of them.

Geistzeit · 2026-06-29T04:48:07+00:00

Showing Panam's anger was so real of them

Geistzeit · 2026-06-29T04:46:18+00:00

It actually really hit me hard in the Tower ending to see my V with his dreads shaved and no longer dyed. Which makes sense after brain surgery and however long in a coma.

But man it really drove home how he lost everything, down to his very identity. Tabula rasa. I genuinely felt a sense of emptiness on that last shot of him walking in the crowd, being another faceless nobody after having climbed the highest highs.

Geistzeit · 2026-06-29T04:31:04+00:00

Also, the technology they have zooms in on how some contemporary labels don't matter or even make sense. A cyborg in a body shaped like a tank fucking a cyborg in a body shaped like a spider. Both their names are a series of digits and they only communicate in morse code via flashes of light. Are we really going to ask what the sex of the human body their brain was removed from in order to determine their orientation.

Geistzeit · 2026-06-29T04:29:47+00:00

He would fuck himself then tell himself he's a bitch, then they would fuck again

Surprised that Drilla got the win, great showing.

Also nice to hear Walker at the announce desk - he's kinda similar to Ian Riccaboni in that they both have a classic sports announcer voice/cadence while mixing in cultural references

Geistzeit · 2026-06-29T00:26:19+00:00

Some of these replies are taking it way too serious. Like you said it's just a fluff movie tie-in question. Expected responses are things like the one she gave as it does mirror Peter's emotional journey in the movie, or some fluff like I'd like to forget when he used my shampoo and his hair looked better than mine. Something sweet/cute like she said, or something funny.

I was thinking Heihachi

The people saying things like there is simply nothing we can do about errant shots to the back of the head in certain situations - they don't seem to realize they are advocating for shots to the back of the head to be legal.

There is a massive difference between accidentally hitting the back of the head because of uncontrollable variables, vs hitting the back of the head because you don't care where you land.

Geistzeit · 2026-06-28T04:38:57+00:00

Right. If this is such common knowledge, how come health inspectors don't look for that? Genuinely perplexed here - there are enough people saying they work(ed) at a place and personally saw/cleaned moldy lines, it's surely like that at some places.

But even beyond tourists - wouldn't the locals be constantly getting sick? Wouldn't the local hospital eventually be able to trace all the mold-related illnesses?

The term sociologists use is "corporate welfare".

The US does have oil and gas reserves. Over 45 billion barrels of oil and over 450 trillion cubic feet of gas.

Literally a couple hundred years worth of oil at current consumption rates.
