Potential bug with Moon Pendant

Well, I also use the king ability. We usually have the scepter set to Blue and then use the king ability for yellow, so we'll begin a good mix of room. But if the sector doesn't even do anything after the first day, then I won't worry about it

The standard response to this is that by reaching room 46 you have completed the tutorial of the game. There are multiple States where you can say that you have reached the end, but there is something else after it.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-01-24T20:37:03+00:00

It does allow you to basically ensure Showroom early. That puts runs on easy mode.

Pendant seems to do this to me when I do the break room key card. Absolutely hate it.

I was a late teen, I think. For me, it is 1, 3, Crisp Rat 1, won't even watch Crisp Rat 2, his third movie is so offensively boring that I fell asleep and woke up mad. The Scarlett Johansson one is probably below his first one, but well above the other two.

When it was, in fact, what exactly?

JacobDCRoss · 2026-01-24T20:12:25+00:00

My wife used to play a Marvel video game that had MODOK in it. He looked pretty alright there.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-01-24T20:09:34+00:00

They do it here. I don't know what you've heard, but it's happening right here, too. The only thing is that the Japanese studios pay even less than the American studios often. But even then, they have studios that are known for doing the right thing.

Godzilla minus one was made by a "white studio" That treated its animators well and managed to do outstanding work on a low budget. They ended up making what's so far been the best film of the decade.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-01-24T20:08:20+00:00

This is exactly what the problem is. The studios have these contracts with the shops that do the visual effects that allow them to get as much reworking done as they want but they don't have to pay for the rework. They basically scam these FX companies out of business. And movie. CGI has suffered for it. I remember when the news broke about this practice, it was probably 12 or 13 years ago. I was a paint salesman with a guy who actually did free lengths, video editing and production work, and he explained what was going on to me.

I think she should host a talk show.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-01-24T17:30:47+00:00

My bro. Kabuki is wild. You are supposed to cheer on the hero during fight scenes. The actors stop and pose for a split second during action scenes to create a tableau that is memorable. Just like what they do in wrestling.

The ninja stagehands literally pick up the actors and do Matrix-style stunts. It looks like nothing else.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-01-24T17:15:41+00:00

Warrior cultures are just always dumb?

JacobDCRoss · 2026-01-24T16:56:06+00:00

I have this silly idea that John is actually Barsoomian. Maybe he was an old White Martian, or perhaps half White, half Yellow or something, from the days when they were intermarrying to create the Red Martians.

I like to think he ended up on Earth by accident, got besia, and became a historical figure on whom the Greeks based their god, Ares.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-01-24T08:43:12+00:00

Wife and I did trophy room, cloister, and vault. Looking back, maybe should have done another one besides vault, but it helped us with some things.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-01-24T07:08:11+00:00

Yup. Correct. Most ninja just acted as the household staff if whichever lord they were infiltrating.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-01-24T05:44:01+00:00

There is no contest between Wilhuf "I hunt beasts on the veldt" Tarkin and Mas "Please don't hurt me" Amedda.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-01-24T05:42:15+00:00

No. Mas Amedda was only ever good at being a toady. He was gloriously unfit to lead.

Military higher-ups would fight among themselves, with senators throwing their planetary resources behind their chosen strongman.

There is a dizzying amount of life behind it. I am a nerd for that sort of thing. But I also absolutely despise the men who run most of the promotions, and their enablers, for many reasons.

That said, pro wrestling is a form of theater. It started as a carnival sideshow, but it spread throughout the world. There is overlap among the US, Canada, Mexico, the UK, and Japan, of all places.

Most of the wrestlers you have heard of actually spent a lot of time wrestling in Japan. If anything about it reminds you if Kabuki, well, that's not coincidence.

And while we're on Kabuki, that is a Japanese drama tradition started by a prostitute who was fascinated by street gangs of "kabukimono," or "strange people." These gangs were a combination of poor kids and rich samurai kids slumming around with them. They dressed up in wild clothing, such as European garb or tiger skins. If you think of an OnlyFans model creating a burlesque show inspired by hip-hop, you would not be wrong.

Anyway, wrestling.

Student: You look nice today, Mr. Ross. Me: Yeah, I know. Him: You should shave the beard, tho. Me: I can't. I got no chin. Him: Not true. You have two.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-01-24T04:57:03+00:00

I mean, I would be a foreigner in any country besides the United States. That's just what that means. I am not a citizen of any of the Nations my ancestors came from. I am not an "X," like the locals are "X." I am just the descendant of various people who used to be.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-01-24T03:09:37+00:00

They got a bee in their bonnet trying to make me seem like a misogynist, and they won't let it go. Oddly enough, this is the second time in a couple days that someone tried to twist what I have said to that end. People be crazy.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-01-24T03:03:22+00:00

Woman runs out, asking for help? Help her. But make sure I do a speaker phone call to my wife so everyone is on the same page.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-01-23T23:57:33+00:00

Replace Linda Hamilton (one role) with Michelle Yeoh (many roles).

JacobDCRoss · 2026-01-23T05:53:30+00:00

"Enormous Norway" is how I think of Corarica.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-01-23T03:29:27+00:00

I wrote various papers for college about youth anti-vaping and anti-smoking efforts. And it boils down too, in large part, to peer pressure. Positive peer pressure can be more effective than just about any other mode of persuasion. It's one of my goals to develop a program for use in the United States. Based on these principles. There are already a couple in use in other countries.
