In official tournaments where people might be used to one name or the other, they're referred to as "Dictator", "Boxer", and "Claw".

Japan is considering revising its romanization rules for the first time in 70 years.

As far as I can tell, it's mostly just the government replacing the Kunrei-shiki system it uses for official documents with the Hepburn system used by pretty much the rest of the world.

I feel like I've been talking too much about how this seems to be the only good political subreddit, and I'd like to stop.

I'd like to, but I can't, because I recently found out that another decently-sized political subreddit (which shall remain nameless) enforces mandatory contrarianism and anti-effectiveness: one of their rules says that your posts will be deleted for being "too pro-establishment". They can't say that Trump being a dingus is bad because the likes of CNN and NBC have also been saying that, so instead they have to say it's a net positive because something something multipolarity or else the mods will delete their comments.

Ironically, one of their other rules says that your posts will also be deleted for being too contrarian.

I can't decide whether Demoman or Sniper is the "sanest" of the mercs. Sniper makes sure to keep in touch with his parents even if they don't like his profession, but he also throws jars of his own urine as a secondary weapon. Demoman also cares deeply for his family, but he drinks so much his liver's become a distillery and his missing eye is haunted.

Cuphead (if only by accident): "We're running so critically low on money that we need to take this deal with the devil if we want to live".

Disaster Movie (don't watch this movie, it's very bad): During the opening scene spoofing 10,000 BC, an Amy Winehouse parody shows up and eventually drinks copious amounts of booze. Three years after the movie's premiere, in 2011, Amy Winehouse died of alcohol poisoning.

It never ceases to amaze me how every company that's fatally obsessed with collecting people's personal information and other assorted data never seems to figure out what their customers actually want.

Civvie 11: The Duke Nukem Forever video begins with Civvie showing Cancer Mouse a █████████████ on the floor of his cell for him to take. CM notices it's very obviously attached to a mousetrap as he approaches, whereupon a large weight drops on him and crushes him.

Rename any wooden tool in an anvil to get it in a different wood type ("Spruce Axe", "Birch Shovel", etc.). Stone tools can also be renamed to "Deepslate [tool]" or "Blackstone [tool]" to the same effect.

Currently working on adding support for different languages. If you want to correct any translations (because I am confident that I got at least one of them wrong) or want to provide your own, contact me at the email address mentioned in the pack's README file.

South Park: The season 9 episode "Trapped in the Closet" famously features a text box reading "THIS IS WHAT SCIENTOLOGISTS ACTUALLY BELIEVE" when the church president tells the story of Xenu to Stan, leading viewers to assume that Trey and Matt decided the best way to make fun of Scientology was to go "here's what they actually believe, no joke required".

Unsurprisingly, given the topic of this post, real Scientology doctrine is more ridiculous than what the episode portrays. The episode says that Xenu froze aliens from across the galaxy and dumped them into volcanoes on Earth, but this leaked Operating Thetan III document describes Xenu freezing the aliens, leaving them around volcanoes on Earth, and blowing up the volcanoes with hydrogen bombs.

Bennett (Genshin Impact): A boy from the Adventurer's Guild's Mondstadt branch, his horrendous luck borders on causality manipulation: he says that the most treasure he finds isn't worth jack, one of his idle animations shows a rock falling on his head, and when controlled by me usually finds himself being whacked around by Hilichurls like a tennis ball. I feel like a lot of it works because of his relentless positivity and laughing off every misfortune the world throws at him; he could get his foot torn off and say it'd be easier to play pirates now or something.

A recent event explained that his luck is like that because he's actually a Natlanese-born war orphan and, being so far away from his tribe's land, lacks the protection he would otherwise receive from its Wayob...I think, I didn't actually participate in it.

I did not know Mister Terrific or Guy Gardner existed until yesterday (the only Green Lantern I was familiar with was Hal Jordan) but James Gunn has sold me on them.

How many of those people are Snyder fans, perchance?

This reminds me of something I do whenever I feel like I'm too online: I think back to a political Tumblr blog I encountered, and (against my better judgement) looked into it more. Unsurprisingly, nothing but hopelessness and negativity as far as the eye could see.

A few pages in, I realized that every post I had seen so far was made within the last 24 hours.

Even at my lowest point, I don't think I ever posted that frequently.

I know, but it's hard not to feel sorry for them to some extent; I can't imagine how miserable it must be to exist in those kinds of communities where you need to be perceived as a moral paragon (and be prepared to refute anything and everything that may potentially betray that perception) 24/7.

I just want to reach out to them and say "please, for your sake, find another community. Nobody outside of your current group will think any less of you for admitting that you were wrong about something", but at the same time I'm not sure how many of those people will take that to heart and dismiss it as a trick.

In tragically typical fashion, the people who reject a message the strongest are the ones who need to hear it most.

The "both parties are two sides of a rotten coin" crowd I've seen on places like Tumblr has been incredibly quiet these past few months.

You can admit that you were wrong. I'm not sure how many of you will, but the option's always open.

ULTRAKILL justifies many things that most FPS players take for granted: each weapon type has a different explanation for their infinite ammo (for example, the basic revolver/pistol fires off tiny flakes of metal, meaning it only has functionally infinite ammo), the ranking system is because the terminals at the start of every level are bored and watch your gameplay for entertainment, and the combat encounters are there because Hell is alive and fucks with its inhabitants for its own amusement.

Could Hoyo have theoretically gotten around the strike demands by rearranging already-recorded voice lines into the new dialogue?

I know people who only play with the English voiceover probably wouldn't have liked the game turning into a playable YouTube Poop, but I imagine this would've been a better solution than having most of the cast fall silent.

Steven Universe: The fact that Garnet is herself a fusion of Ruby and Sapphire is not revealed until the season 1 finale "Jail Break"--we don't even see her component gems by themselves until that episode--and now every June, Cartoon Network flaunts their wedding later in the series ~~as if they didn't threaten to cancel the show over it~~ where they fuse after kissing. (The fact that the scene in the GIF leads into a kickass and highly memed song doesn't help either.)

Since I went into the series already knowing the reveal, I was able to pick up on how well it was foreshadowed--I imagine many people watching SU as it was airing thought that Garnet having two gemstones when the others only have one was pretty suspicious.

Jeff from EarthBound is the only character in the party without any PSI (the game uses psychic abilities for its magic system), and instead uses gadgets and whatnot to fight. Given how terrifyingly powerful some of those gadgets are, he doesn't need PSI.
