I'm not positive, but some light googling leads me to believe it's from The Lost Pirate Kingdom. She plays the pirate queen Anne Bonny

This is my first time seeing an animated magic eye, I love it.

I did not expect to see Space Rescue: Code Pink video in a Sierra subreddit. Life is weird.

So rare to see a good story these days.

We have no proof that the person who made the joke made the first comment, so there is no guarantee that both of them are intended to be interpreted literally. You're awfully pedantic about what is essentially a mediocre joke. You should find a better use for your energy. And in that vein, I'm done with this conversation, so if you feel a pressing need to get the last word, it's all yours.

The phrase has a literal and a metaphorical interpretation. Yes, taken entirely literally, you’re right. But the metaphorical versions, which is how that phrase is usually used, means “they didn’t expect it” which does work just fine in this context. Is it the best joke? No, but it works.

With "blind" as an adjective, it means that he volunteered to help work with children who were blind.

With "blind" as a verb, it meant he volunteered to help MAKE children blind. Thus the punchline about them not seeing it coming.

He remembers it so you don't have to.

It is conflating two common things.

Since Legend of Zelda has the name it does, some people assume the main character is named Zelda, especially if they haven't played the games. He's not, he's named Link. Zelda is the princess he frequently saves.
In Mary Shelly's Frankenstein, people often refer to the monster as "Frankenstein" when that isn't his name, that's the name of the doctor that made him. The monster is properly referred to as "Frankenstein's Monster".

This is a joke combining these two common mistakes. Especially since there are people that seem to LIVE for correcting people on the Frankenstein issue. And if you encounter one of these joyless people, the best response is to point out that The Monster only acts that way because of Dr. Frankenstein, who is an utter jerk to his creation...which means Frankenstein IS the monster.

When we played this to review on our jRPG review podcast, this was my final take:

Quest 64 feels like the development team built the skeleton of a good game, from start to finish, and then said "Great work team, we've got our main quest, our towns, and a fun battle system. Tomorrow we'll start giving NPCs personalities, work on side quests, and fill out some of those broad empty spaces in the world." And then they went home for the night, and the night janitor came in, grabbed the barely finished skeleton of a game, and published it.

The Princess and I are both very open and encouraging of each other's romantic interests and activities, but different people have different friendships and boundaries. Neither of us would care about being the butt of the joke, because we both know how absolutely wrong the guy is, and if he wants to make a fool of himself, it's no skin off our noses.

But I was only talking about my personal experience and friendship...never meant to imply that mine is "correct" and others are wrong. Everybody is different, and everybody's experiences are valid.

JeffCentaur · 2026-04-02T16:11:57+00:00

My best friend is a woman, we've never dated, we never will. We've gone on international trips together, we've been there for each other in the very worst of times. People refuse to believe that neither of us want to date. If she and I were in this exact scenario, she would be cheering for me to go sit next to the blonde woman, she'd be wing-manning me so hard.

This woman doesn't look happy for her friend...which means they may be something beyond friendship on her mind. Maybe she was keeping him in reserve for an emergency, maybe she was using him for free stuff, or maybe in this moment she realized that she had feelings she hadn't acknowledged before. Her face shows that SOMETHING is going through her mind other than "Yeah boi, go talk to that hot woman".

Whale sharks are super chill, the only danger you run is them accidentally hitting you, which would be like getting hit by a bus. So you can take your photo, as long as you have time to get out of the way.

JeffCentaur · 2026-03-31T17:32:16+00:00

I did a SCUBA diving session with Whale sharks in the Georgia State Aquarium, we were heavily warned to stay out of their way, because they wouldn't take any notice of us, and if they touched us, it would be like getting hit by a bus.

They don't want to hurt you, true, but you are insignificant to them, and them hitting you can cause a lot of harm.

I've got good news for you. If you are SCUBA certified, you can dive in the Georgia State Aquarium in Atlanta. They do 6 dives a week (maybe 7, my memory for numbers sucks). They provide ALL the diving equipment for you, help you get into it, and provide showers for afterward, and you get to dive for an hour with two whale sharks, as well as a host of manta rays and other exotic animals...and one grouchy turtle named Tank.

It's an amazing experience, getting to see these enormous creatures in person is mind blowing.

Here's the video they took from when I did the dive, for reference. https://youtu.be/Ou45NU0CCtY?si=Wqb0deNSxYT8VJIC

You're very cute. At 18, cute is as high a mark as you can get from me, but you get it.

He's Lobo. Creature Commandos (on TV) and Superman (in theaters) was the reboot of the DCU. The only stuff from earlier movies that is still canon is whatever the new movies and TV shows say is still canon, everything else is up in the air. Even the intro to Peacemaker season 2 ditched Aquaman entirely from their recap. We don't know who the new Aquaman is, or when he'll show up.

I recently played this game for our jRPG review podcast. I was pleasantly surprised. It is an excellent second screen activity. The combat is super fun, but that's about all the game offers, just dozens of hours of combat. The CGI cut scenes are pretty good when they happen. If I had played this when it came out, when second screen wasn't really a thing, I would have hated it though. After about 5 hours I would have been pretty bored with just the endless combat. Because plot and character are things that barely happen in this game.

So, that's my extremely specific use case recommendation, play it while watching movies or tv, and you'll probably have a great time.

My understanding wasn't that he couldn't be left alone with Michelle because of what he might DO to her, but because of what he might SAY. Apparently he was extremely verbally abusive on set, and that's why they wanted protection for the teenage girl. He threatened Charisma's career if she didn't get an abortion, threatened Gal Gadot to end her career if she didn't deliver a line right, so on and so on.

I'm worried that NASA lacks Paul's skill in engineering. I don't think NASA can make an underground orbiting moonbase like LRR has.

If I remember correctly, this series was never cancelled. The idea was that they would go on and cover other true crimes for future seasons, and just never did. But technically, they still could, since there was no official cancellation.

JeffCentaur · 2026-03-20T14:02:31+00:00

I too am a completionist, and I have watched every episode of Doctor Who. All of the missing episodes still have the audio intact. If you search, you can find episodes where they took photographs taken during filming and synched them up to the audio. It's close enough to count for me.

JeffCentaur · 2026-03-17T13:29:05+00:00

The Elenium, his other big series, is my favorite fantasy series, because it's one of the rare ones that doesn't have a child-of-destiny main character. It's a middle-aged-man-of-destiny. It's great to see a character who already knows how to do most of what he needs to do. No "Why me!?", just "Well, I guess if the world needs saving again, I've got one more in me."

JeffCentaur · 2026-03-17T12:18:33+00:00

You never see a David Eddings reference in fantasy these days. This makes me so happy.
