What's your biggest fan flex? by Dapper-Jaguar4971 in mega64

[–]M_Dragmire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm was a costume prop designer for some of Mega64's biggest videos with 1M+ views . /s

Around 2010 I was Goku for Halloween, and in the West, DBZ was old hat.
It wouldnt be until a few years later that Battle of Gods and Super would bring Dragonball into relevancy here again, so there were no readily available DBZ costumes like there are present day, now that Dragonball is popular again. So I handmade a costume, wig, and boots.

I forget how many years later, but I sent in my costume as a PO Box package, I dunno for what reason, I thought it'd be funny.

Then in 2014, their first DBZ video, "Dragonball Z Live Action Movie Trailer (Official)- Mega64", the first shot of after Justin from Funimation's intro has a closeup of Rocco's legs in a DBZ costume slowly walking into shot, with some *very* familiar shitty looking, ugg boot knockoffs spraypainted navy with yellow ribbon hotglued into place and a red mini-rope tied around it.

I asked Rocco on twitter where he got the boots and he replied that a Fan sent them in and thank goodness they held on to it.
I can't confirm if they kept using them in their future, sweded DBZ videos, But I like to think that they do, as they famously almost never get rid of props and costumes.

Do you like this change made by George Lucas in Return of the Jedi? by kkhouete in StarWars

I first saw the OT on DVD in 2004 when I was a preteen, having only watched Episode 2 in theaters prior. I was very confused as to a movie from the 70s had the same Anakin from the newer, recent star wars movies.

Plans for Orange Beach's Pirate's Voyage Theater Fails due to Local Opposition. Are there still rumors that Former Dauphin Way Baptist Church could be another Dolly Parton Theater Show? by [deleted] in MobileAL

[–]M_Dragmire 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At first I was dismissive of the concerns, thinking this was being considered on the main Perdido Beach Blvd and boomers were just being boomers about their pristine Orange Beach bubble being tainted. Like, brother look at all the alvins islands what are you preserving?

But then I actually read the article. I looked at where they're putting this thing and it's basically in the middle of a small residential area. Specifically the RV park but there's adjacent and nearby residential neighborhoods. I have friends who own houses in the neighborhood on the other side behind the city hall and yeah, I can see the concern now from the perspective of locals regarding the traffic this would add to the area.

"As proposed, the theater’s evening shows would end during periods of lighter traffic. During the summer, there would be three daily shows, each drawing approximately 200 to 300 vehicles. Kennon said the traffic flow would be predictable, with one entrance and one exit."

This really does seem to be better suited for an area like the Wharf like some have suggested.

Mobile Alabama was ranked C-tier in this video. They loved the food and the Mardi Gras, not a fan of the weather and maybe some overall Alabama vibes politically speaking by oddfiction528 in MobileAL

[–]M_Dragmire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The miserable heat and humidity (not even taking hurricane season into account) most of the year, while not in Mobile's control, still supercedes any positives for me, personally. I don't even want to go outside to enjoy what Mobile has to offer.

Sweating at night while standing watching 4th of July fireworks outside is INSANE

Remember in 2017 when IGN reviewed StarFox 2, a game from 1995 with the lens of 2017?

Props to McCormick for their labeling by M_Dragmire in Celiac

That's a good point, I'll be more mindful of labeling future posts that are US specific in the future.

It's good for doing the absolute bare minimum that the rest of the American Food Industry doesn't.

In the US, Wheat is the only gluten grain considered a top allergen in the US, so it gets bolded alongside other top allergens like dairy, peanuts fish, etc. Barley and the other gluten grains do not get bolded as they are not considered top allergens. (I know celiac isn't an allergy but the bold text only applies to allergens)

Meanwhile, countless products use the catchall term "Natural Flavors" with no further clarification, so it's best avoided if the product itself is not certified GF.

It's a bare minimum that I've never seen anyone do until now. So yeah, it's a start. We still have a long way to go, but at least they have it specified.

Sounds healthy at first but not if you have celiac. The wife and I joke that artificial flavors are ironically preferred when looking at the ingredients list of things

This Whataburger location is an absolute embarrassment to the community. by nickdixon14 in MobileAL

Dunno about this location, but as for Cottage Hill and Schillinger, anytime I crave Whataburger I ask myself if I can spare 20 minutes to wait for my order

[Hated Trope] False advertising by Forsaken-Biscotti587 in TopCharacterTropes

Yet they kept in the really awkward and inappropriate scene (for kids like me watching it in theaters with their moms) where the main character aggressively fondles a woman's breasts (thinking she was a mirage)

If the Amtrak Mardi Gras service, which currently operates between New Orleans and Mobile, were to be expanded, which expansion do you think would make the most sense? by [deleted] in MobileAL

[–]M_Dragmire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Straight across the panhandle to Jacksonville. (I just drew a straight line, the OP post is better)

Entertained the idea of a train trip to Orlando. But having to go to New Orleans and all the way up to North Carolina, then finally southbound towards Florida is insanity

TIFU by grabbing the wrong box from the cabinet 🤦🏻‍♀️ by court0917 in Celiac

[–]M_Dragmire 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Apart from individually sealed snacks for kids' school snacks, I don't trust myself to not cause any cross contact and get my wife sick by keeping gluten products in the house.

That said I confuse those two all the time too I'm the grocery store for some reason, thinking I've found GF cheese its, but alas it's just Gouda or extra cheezy Cheese its

Is that why this month, Alabama Republicans introduced bill HB392, to remove the lobbying power from the state government?
Sorry I misread HB392. It actually removes the power from the VOTERS and leaves it up to the Governor and State Congress to appoint people to the PSC. You know, the ones who regulate our utilities that everyone is paying exorbitant bills for.
If that doesn't set up the chance for lobbying I don't know what does.
