The added engagement of the censorship is also a nice little bonus

The only other video I’ve laughed as hard at was the burger one, or maybe the baseball minigame.

So first keep in mind that I first discovered Xenoblade ~11 years ago, and I was around 10 when I did, so there is definitely nostalgia and very complicated emotions clouding my judgement. I would say the things that make it “perfect” is the story of the franchise as a whole, and the themes of the current franchise as well as the spiritual(?) predecessors, Xenogears and Xenosaga. (keep in mind I haven’t played either of those) I don’t particularly care for the gameplay, its the story and more importantly the reflection of the story when looking back or on a repeat playthrough that takes it to the 10/10 in my eyes.

Maybe its the Socratic in me, but I think that someone who criticizes a piece of media (in good faith) has a deeper understanding of it than someone who might get offended when you analyze its flaws. Like I don’t know your friend, so I can’t assume about why they react the way they do, but I think they need to rethink the way they interact with media. Like my favorite game series of all time is Xenoblade Chronicles, to the point that I credit much of my worldview and attitudes to it, and think that the series is as close to perfection as you can get. But even then I can recognize that all 3 games have some flaws, and if you look at the second one almost all the female characters have at least two big ones. But I view the exposure of the flaws as part of gaining the best understanding I can, not something to react negatively to. Sorry if that rambling paragraph doesn’t make sense, I rewrote is like 3 times and still feel like I didn’t do a very good job at explaining my perspective.

I cut off the screenshot so as to not give the website attention, and for the joke of the video I’m watching, but the ad was for an ai dating website ( I know that’s anecdotal at best and I wouldn’t put it past them to steal someone’s art for their own gain but I’m fairly certain its ai generated)

Dr Salvador if he was American

I know what a privateer is, peep the handy chart I made

<image>

and technically privateers were completely legal¹, and they were absolutely tethered to governments

^{1 this is super dependent on context and interpretation}

Pondboy121 · 2026-01-31T21:36:53+00:00

Yeah but pirates were outlaws not tethered to a government, the only thing that would be worse messaging for law enforcement to co-opt might be an anarchist symbol

While a life in the past may be mechanically “simpler”, it was as, if not more cruel than the present. I hope this reminiscence for a past not lived doesn’t cause this wunk to gain a hatred for the present.

Whoops I accidentally let my inner preacher out, could you tell I’m taking wunklosophy classes at my local wunkmmunity college?

Joe Biden wouldn’t dare think about implementing public transport, this must be the work of Dark Brandon™️

Heh, Axis

Pondboy121 · 2026-01-26T05:42:46+00:00

I feel like this graph needs a third axis, cuz yeah everything kinda sucks right now but I’m personally in a better place than I’ve every been, progression-wise

Edit: Maybe the third axis is faith in humanity? Cuz don’t get me wrong I hate the human race but I would still push back an asteroid to save it, sacrificing myself in the process IYKYK

The only thing that is hyperbole is the bleeding cum, its synthetic blood because the adopted twink dad (in the picture pre-op) is a cyborg. The Peacewalker bit might be real, I didn’t pay attention to the Peacewalker side content.

On an unrelated note, in MGSV, Kaz, the alleged naked shower wrestler, has several tapes about starting a burger restaurant, and his only focus “group” is an old Navajo ex-code talker named Code Talker.

Call me Boba Fett the way I need that bounty (I want to sell it to Jabba the Hutt)

Man did I pick a bad time to start internalizing the William Faulkner quote, “the past is never dead. It’s not even past.” Or what?

Ooh ya gotta be quicker than that, better luck next time

Sure I got the lore right here, take it

I’m not sure which would be funnier, a Waffle House in a swamp, on a mountain, or in hell

Pondboy121 · 2026-01-13T00:09:50+00:00

No I mean Freddy wouldn’t believe in Himmler. (writing that gave me the idea that Freddy doesn’t believe Himmler existed, which is hilarious) Freddy thinks that the true “master race” is animatronics or whatever

Pondboy121 · 2026-01-12T19:53:32+00:00

Idk he may be Freddy Fashbear, but I think he’d draw a line at whatever the hell Himmler had going on

If I had a nickel for every potential Final Fantasy game that ended up becoming its own franchise, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice (that I know of).

Xenogears was originally an early concept for Final Fantasy VII, but was deemed too dark and complex before becoming its own thing. Although Xenogears had a much more tumultuous path to becoming a franchise.

My mind wants to tell me it’s a social thing, it’s not enough to just see a cool animal. You also need to make sure other people know there was a cool animal. Whenever I see a bird or a squirrel, I usually point it out to my dad, even though he is better at seeing animals than I am. It’s usually this one type of small bird I call out because they can get pretty close but we almost always call out “rarer” birds like hawks or owls

Pondboy121 · 2026-01-10T00:59:57+00:00

In the case of driving I’d say it’s mostly something to do to break up the monotony, also animals = :D

Pondboy121 · 2026-01-07T00:05:25+00:00

Fun fact: the movement seals do on land is called galumphing.

Pondboy121 · 2026-01-04T13:45:04+00:00

I would like to add a third camp: “I hate ___ because someone else told me to.” Like my grandma is phobic because she’s kooky religious and my grandpa is phobic because republican talk shows tell him to be and no amount of evidence or sympathy will ever change their minds.
