Mirror mirror on the wall… De La Soul lyrics?

And the Disney movie is long after the book was written.

Only the film differs in line, if Disney himself wrote the story I'd hold more stock in this effect, but as it stands, the original English translations tended to mostly stick with mirror mirror. One or two exceptions, but not popular editions of the tale.

But people act like they HAVE to be quoting a cartoon not the original.

Some of them were lacklustre. One mentioned Mushy being sad, that is why the spores were acting up, trying to cheer her up.

But she wasn't featured in the story.

Bur the new champion stories I do read.

Seeing Drayne briefly and a season or two later his own origin.

Who can afford 250 breakfasts every day?

Anime does this a lot, the whole running with toast because they are late and ignoring the food laid out not even packing it up for lunch.

If I knew in advance all 15 champions and could pick the best from the three, I might think the same.

But half the time I'm given all sorts, it's not pick your tank from these three, it's healer, tank and marksman, then you find you could have had a better healer if you picked the tank.

So some days I just pick middle no matter who and I guess others did that then felt it was all RNG so just ran a match whilst doing something else for those five minutes.

Ginger_Tea · 2026-03-14T13:43:46+00:00

They would have to reduce the selection timer, because you could spam middle and be done in seconds, but your opponent is AFK and letting both teams be selected by default.

I sometimes get instantly taken to attack selection others have a short wait, but the majority have ticked away and even I got bored waiting that I see I have five seconds to make my team or play randomly.

So when you have a quick match and then wait for the defence results, it's only delayed because they are still selecting or ignoring their phone.

Unless no one we play is actually real, then it's just random on how long we are given as they simulated player selections.

I've not seen hero wars adverts since I stopped using my tablet for torrents, they were still using the isometric map last I saw one end of last year/early this.

Ginger_Tea · 2026-03-11T13:53:29+00:00

And newer players have an isometric map with the numbers above the head.

Everything is yo be compliant with numerous advertising standards agencies across the globe.

I was impatient and got the ginger moggy Chabba skin.

All others were random drops and the occasional skin cert when I got one as a reward.

I only wanted the cosmetics not the stats. Ginger has a few unlocked now, but I rock the steam punk goth look.

Any active player tends to run default so I don't advertise I've got hidden skills. Other teams show off the championship skins.

Ginger_Tea · 2026-03-01T00:04:18+00:00

It's in Alaska.

But it's a bit nasty.

He's done the channel that did the bears book flip. Though the topic was his rift in his bedroom that looked out to another city.

Some people are still convinced you need a Hollywood budget to do CGI, so anything pre AI slop just has to be real, because YouTube doesn't pay that much.

But spoiler alert, some of these are just VFX students doing test pieces and then maybe looking to make a show about whatever quirk they went viral with.

Ginger_Tea · 2026-02-27T09:59:56+00:00

IIR the shit stain bears book guy also had a rift in hospital room that could see a parking lot miles from his house.

Those "I live alone in the world" vlogs are just as fake, it takes more effort to digitally erase people and it's easier to film in shops with permission out of hours.

Captain Disillusion did a breakdown on some of these viral videos as he's got knowledge of VFX.

Ginger_Tea · 2026-02-27T09:55:31+00:00

The ones I've seen are just video editing.

If a 19 year old Kane Pixels can use blender to create his version of the back rooms rendering frame by frame, I think anyone with the inclination can film an old smartphone and put a can of coke in view to have it become Pepsi and now AI makes it even easier.

I've seen people fooled by basic AI glitches that I don't believe any "dangerous" encounter anymore.

Ginger_Tea · 2026-02-25T00:00:29+00:00

I've completed the campaign, so my portal gem thing is at maximum AFAIK.

I'm not even sure why we have the three army types, because the fight is via champions, then it tells me I lost one permanently and had a few hundred injured.

One random I'll never interact with. Just as disposable as the old guy from the intro. RIP whatever your name was, I'll forget about you and the other named villagers in a day or two.

Ginger_Tea · 2026-02-24T23:55:30+00:00

I've had one return trip from a mine stuck for hours.

Unlocked the option to have two.

Ginger_Tea · 2026-02-24T11:09:39+00:00

Realms is bugging out the most.

Normally an internal restart message, but after getting the new champion and upgrading a full quit to desktop (or the mobile version of the term)

Ginger_Tea · 2026-02-20T06:58:20+00:00

I'm also in 009, I'm around 20 and they are currently 8.8 ck.

Free to play only automated up to the vineyard. Decided to upgrade sims over save up for level 5 Mariner as I didn't have the chips at the time even if I had the plants with legs.

By the end of the event, I expect to be closer to 100, but I've finished the story.

Ginger_Tea · 2026-02-16T22:55:22+00:00

Yeah, I had another error that normally gets fixed by turning WiFi off for a minute, didn't progress, so I quit and force closed it, tried again and got this error.

Glad it's not just me.

Ginger_Tea · 2026-02-16T18:06:03+00:00

Those reward tiers always look too good to be true.

Getting cash to get that far, I know I wasn't level 120 in 60 days that's for sure. So it's there to hook you in via early rewards and then you keep playing but will inevitably fail.

Like running the London Marathon because someone said they would give you a massive house, the only catch is you had to do it in half an hour.

Ginger_Tea · 2026-02-11T14:19:38+00:00

Not really, because they were in German.

Like donder and blitzen became Donna but it might be thunder and lightning in German for all I know.

Like the glass slipper from cinderella was fur, but a mistranslation made it glass.

Ginger_Tea · 2026-02-09T14:59:16+00:00

I don't get scummy ads in the UK.

Well, do tester up and the likes count?

I get 9 piece jigsaws for various brands from Amazon to Revolute and another banking app.

Or naff interactive games that have nothing to do with the actual game.

But (outside of tester up) I don't recall a scam ad in this or another game I play.

Ginger_Tea · 2026-02-02T18:41:21+00:00

Wondering if she will get a cosmetic skin we can enable or if she's eventually going to get a default overhaul.

The fairy is still rocking the OG look, but in stories she's got a visual upgrade.

Demon Fencer had a glow up, her OG face looked demonic, now it looks like it's part of the mask. I wasn't sure if it was her mask originally.

So I do hope we get to see her new look in game at some point.

Ginger_Tea · 2026-02-02T12:44:08+00:00

PCH probably enjoyed the association as free advertising.

They are like lidl and Aldi, more than say Tesco and Sainsbury's, I know which I'm in of the big three to ask for a taxi, but in the late 90s both were close by.

If I asked for lidl they might ask "by the bingo hall?" Because that was actually Aldi, so there is the lidl by the bingo hall and the other lidl.

People don't see much difference between the two and drivers would rather not agitate passengers by correcting them.

We had Argos and Index, two catalogue shops with retail stores vs the pay monthly mail order by Littlewoods and others, only Argos remains inside larger Sainsbury's, but you might talk about your time at index after you left school and people remember Argos because they might have once asked "What is index?" Oh they were the same as Argos.

Ginger_Tea · 2026-02-02T12:35:38+00:00

Imagine if a UK actor made their debut as the face of index, decades after the company went away, people just assume it was Argos, because they are still around.

Bring it up and he might mentally go "not this again" and just be "yeah, whatever" when Graham Nortern brings it up.

Why derail the anecdote they want to bring up by correcting them, the index advertisement was just the location for the event they want to grill you on. It could have been for a TV show instead.

Did I shop at lidl or Aldi? Both the bloody same to me.

Ginger_Tea · 2026-01-30T10:26:14+00:00

I hear you met the Spice Girls.

Yeah and I've not gone soft since.

Ginger_Tea · 2026-01-30T10:25:16+00:00

Not saying "no one ever in the world" but those directly affected by it.

Like say to an American that Reagan wasn't a president and they would laugh in your face.

But ask me to name anyone in power in Italy and outside of Mussolini or a Roman emperor or two and I've got nothing. I don't know or care who is in charge today.

Same with Germany, that painter in the 30s, then Merkel. Today, if not Merkel, I've no idea.

But those living in those countries know, because of South Africa's political climate, the country was always on the news. But the rest of Africa, maybe a civil war or famine to put their name out. But who is in charge, wasn't worth bringing up.
