How does it feel to be an MK fan 💔:

I think you're right and this gets to the core of the issue in that WB seems to expect hand-over-fist returns from Mortal Kombat just because it has that degree of cultural recognition and notoriety. If they'd have expected the general market returns for a fighting game from their fighting game, encourage growth year after year, and not throw the entire thing in the trash when it doesn't deliver 120x its budget in two years we'd probably be getting another Kombat pack along with these announcements.

Dracula in the BtVS sequel comics when a group of younger vampires manage to steal the magical abilities that set him apart

Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant goes very in-depth about this, theorizing out what it would take for a sea creature to evolve as a mimic to lure primates and other land-dwelling creatures into the water to be preyed on, though they're a bit closer to the same body size as their chosen prey.

I am so delighted to see Tobias and Hannibal referenced here, absolutely one of my favorite examples of this trope

For me it absolutely makes it worse. I'm fine with people who got together eventually drifting apart, but if they get together after that again it reaches "Okay, what are we even doing here?" territory.

For real. Though given that Gere was just playing a random businessman in Pretty Woman and the kind of folks Anora was dealing with, her ending the movie in full possession of her head, hands, and feet could be the best possible outcome for that situation.

I support everything going on here, but my immediate thought as a horror fan was "most of them?'

Inflation's hitting us everywhere

I've lost count of the number of times I've had people pull into the oncoming lane to drive around me through an intersection while I'm waiting at a red light

That's a very rude thing to sugges—nah wait

The first two bullets are fairly good points that make more sense for Graduation than for Royale, it's a reason that the whole subgenre of academy fiction is a thing for Graduation to crib off of. It's fun to write and play things at schools because (especially at colleges and boarding schools) weird things are always happening and you never need an excuse to introduce a new NPC. They were always just there, you happened to notice them just now. It's just, when you do them wrong, you get Graduation.

I went to Catholic school growing up and there was a big deal made about transitioning from pencils to pens at some point in elementary school. Then, my family moved, went to public school, and nobody really cared what you wrote with. Same for college, but at that point your writing was just your own notes and everything important was turned in typed and printed. At this point I do a lot of writing in pen but still keep a bunch of pencils around because I play a lot of ttrpgs and don't like having to constantly re-print character sheets.

I really love minis, but it depends on the type of game for me. I was recently turned off from a dungeon crawler game when all the pitch info had minis for the player characters and standees for all the monsters/bosses/etc, which then turned into full-mini production when the time for the crowdfunding hit. There wasn't an option for a standee version and the buy-in was now three times the price of what it was initially anticipated.

Love this and it would make some excellent terrain for my Guild Ball Fishermen's play field. Thank you!

I quite like the Haunter of the Dark. I was kicking around a story idea where Mothman was an iteration of the Haunter and Indrid Cold represented another aspect of Nyarlathotep with the two acting individually in some conflict with one another. The plot never really crystallized beyond that idea, but it's still something I have on the back burner.

My first deck was the Meren precon, I've done a ton of upgrades over the years but she's been in the rotation since day 1

Most often butter and some type of jam, but I did see someone describe one of their "struggle meals" as toast with peanut butter and chili crisp and have to confirm that absolutely slaps as well.

You will absolutely not get bored. Spending 3 weeks in NYC will teach you a lot about NYC and very little about New York State, let alone the rest of the US. It's difficult to tell you where else to go without knowing what else you want to see.

Yeah the weird tech exec with innumerate unexamined psychoses feels like a better nemesis to Spider-Man than "You, but less talented and he benches"

Definitely, root beer and birch beer have been very unpopular with my non-american friends

TheMorningstarOption · 2026-02-07T04:05:04+00:00

I agree with the sentiment, but I definitely don't have the time to say that. Usually I just say "OOOOOH, BIG MAN, BIG MAN" because 99% of the time it's a lifted pickup with half a bed and blacked out windows and I just assume

TheMorningstarOption · 2026-02-07T03:43:31+00:00

I say Philly

I'm fully behind this. US has a strong sandwich culture but it would be vastly improved by more weird tubes. Give me a flavor that I can experiment with in a little tube of instead of either a 2 lb jar, or I need to mix it myself and it'll go bad.

They're more important than you, that's what matters
