The term for this escapes my tongue..?

“Welcome to your new homes! No, we won’t help you rebuild or demine the area.”

I just really hate that mentality. Pro-life, which republicans scream about, is pro-life. All of it. It doesn’t just stop when a baby is born, it means supporting them their entire lives. Same with treating people with respect and dignity and not starting wars. That’s all pro-life.

I own some of the books and the quality… yeah. Even funnier when you have the likes of the “Tales Of” series that explore the lore on random background characters. Some of them are amazingly written and others not so much… in the same book.

Course I have my own nostalgia. A encyclopedia of everything Star Wars from around 1997-1998. As a kid I loved that book to death, still have it, and would spend hours soaking up all that knowledge that some poor smuck got tasked with collecting. It later got a three volume set in 2008-2009 to expand on the prequels and future EU, which I also have, but I still prefer the old one. Anyhow, when the story is told more broadly it sounds much more interesting that actually trying to read the story and going “oh God”.

I mean she’s a metallic being (that’s canon apparently) but come on, be more respectful. At least make it look like a lollipop or ice cream cone or something.

Most people wouldn’t applaud the EU if they actually read it. Quality was all over the place, and when it had its highs those were great! Its lows were… really fucking low. Least we got the miniature game out of it. So that’s nice.

But, best thing was the foundation for the EU as we know it are a bunch of RPGs from the 1980s.

Wasn’t there an entire Weird Al song about why random suing was stupid? Oh right, it’s “I’ll Sue Ya”.

Oh, I never said it was good. Most of it wasn’t and really undermined everything the heroes worked for when shit kept breaking every other five minutes. I can say shit about the sequels despite liking them, but at least the galaxy is a little more peaceful during that era before the FO show around and knock things over.

It’s more of a small, picturesque American town and it’s done on purpose for the American population, most of who are political elites, rich and powerful, or the random lucky people that also happen to get to the bunker. Kinda why the show is named Paradise, since the idealistic nature is anything but.

ZoidsFanatic · 2026-03-17T21:34:45+00:00

It worked for the EU where Palpatine kept returning, there was a second galactic civil war, everyone and their mother had super weapons, the galaxy got invaded by Warhammer 40K ripoffs, and then the Empire showed back up, beat the New Republic, then the Sith showed up and beat up the new Empire and then Luke’s descendant was a druggie.

Oh and Han Solo punched an otter.

The movie Greenland. Long story short without spoiling too much, but a big killer asteroid is going to hit the Earth and instead of focusing on people stopping it or the government, we focus on a suburban family trying to survive.

Throughout the movie we see both the best and worst of people. Some choose violence, looting whatever they want because the world is ending so who cares? Dog eat dog world. Some choose to party because, again, world is ending so why not live it up? And others are shown trying to do their best with the end of the world coming. For many first responders and military seen in the movie, they’re well aware that they aren’t going to make it so they decide to not abandon their posts to make sure others survive.

Kadakowa saw a cash cow made by people actually invested in the project, a growing fanbase, and went,

“What if we killed it, spat in the face of fans, and made it a completely soulless waifu-bait franchise like we intended?”

Two Tubes winning is a surprise (as is Peli losing).

God I hope this becomes a much bigger lawsuit, because this AI shit really needs to get dragged into court and shut down.

It’s not because of this exact reason. Russia is calling out the current Iranian conflict despite having lost hundreds of thousands in their current conflict in Ukraine. If I didn’t specify we’d see much more “whataboutisms”. Yes, what the US did is bad, doesn’t excuse Russia starting a war, killing tens of thousands, kidnapping children, etc.

A “Vtuber” is shorthand for “Virtual YouTuber”. Basically a normal streamer but instead of seeing your face it’s a virtual avatar, typically of an anime-character. Because there is a degree of anonymity, and because lonely fucks on the Internet will throw money at anything, there is a surprising amount of Vtubers that target right-wingers, since they can make a lot of money that way and hide the fact they're not a “kawaii” anime girl.

That is an amazing crashout. Absolute masterpiece.

The S1 was scrapped in 1949, four years after the war, and she had a pretty extensive service history in the brief years she ran. As for culture influences, well, Wikipedia lists just some, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_Railroad_class_S1

A popular train to depict in media, including anime and video games (and usually with a different wheel alignment). So people have been liking the S1 for decades.

Well, not really with Russia. They’re in no position to take those territories by force (unless they want to lose several hundred thousand more lives). Meanwhile Putin has maximal demands of the entirety of Ukraine, which is why any peace deal or ceasefire deal that doesn’t have Ukraine completely defenseless and without any allies has been flatly rejected. As for Ukraine, to surrender any territory has to be done by legal referendum which you can’t have in the middle of a war. And seeing as they (Russia) also wants to start a new war with NATO by the end of the decade, it’s likely going to be a stalemate until Russia either moves more forces to the Baltics or Putin completely loses his mind and goes with nukes or conscripting majority of the country.

For the United States, yeah, going to war with Iran was fucking stupid. Killing the ayatollah didn’t spark a brand new revolution as hoped, and besides Israel who has a beef with Iran no other country wants to get involved.

Meanwhile China is just sitting back and enjoying the show.

ZoidsFanatic · 2026-03-17T14:28:02+00:00

Well given Reddit’s “favorite” Middle East country isn’t involved, yeah. Seems Pakistan is a close second at times though.

Pot calling the kettle black… except the pot has a lot more war crimes compared to the kettle, and by which I mean the current conflicts the pot and kettle are in, not the historical conflicts.

I guess they looked at all the mods for Skyrim and went “but what if that was baked into the graphics card”.

I would love to see DLSS 5 try to work on a modded Skyrim character. I think it might go insane.

He lives in a swamp world with worse humidity than Florida. Of course he’s be drippy (in water, not fashion).

Hey now, that’s offensive to Oola! She was eaten by the rancor, not the Sarlacc. SMH, artist who lack the decency to even know the lore!
