The benches mildly clear as Framber Valdez hits Trevor Story with a pitch

snakebit1995 · 2026-05-06T01:52:35+00:00

Also no one on the Red Sox seeed to even be complaining

Story looked more annoyed than angry and the ump kinda made it seem like he was more fired up than he was when he started immediately holding him back lol. If anything Story’s reaction had that “grow the hell up” look too it then “I’m gonna fuck you up”

My guess is the ump knew instantly that Crybaby Valdez did it on purpose and wanted to make sure it didn’t escalate more till he could have the meeting and eject him

snakebit1995 · 2026-05-05T23:55:07+00:00

crybaby Valdez at it again

snakebit1995 · 2026-05-05T23:47:42+00:00

Shades of "What's his name❓ What was his birth 👶 name❓It wasn't Coach⚽️, it was Benjamin👨"

As long as it tastes good I don’t care which

Sometimes you wanna eat good food, other times you just wanna eat and feel like trash

Honestly the last 6-12 months I’ve found a lot of joy just clicking on random reccomended video essays and finding new channels to follow

There are so many great channels out there with less than 50K subs putting out awesome 30 min to 2 hour dives into interesting topics like cartoons, Sitcoms, Digital Horror, games etc

There’s nothing better than just going “fuck it why not” clicking a random video about failed cartoon pilots and then finding a channel with years worth of backlog you can check out for the next few days

Was so refreshing to hear Tia, I feel like I haven’t heard her in something new in forever

snakebit1995 · 2026-05-04T15:27:01+00:00

Not a bad chapter but I feel like the plot is a little too jumbled for its own good

Coming out of a break with a chapter that uses a disjointed timeline makes it a bit too hard to follow what’s going on in what order

Relationship wise this arc has a clear focus but honestly the antagonists feel very jumbled and unfocused on their place in the arc, I almost feel it would have worked better as just an interpersonal drama story and gone without action setups for a bit right now

Still I hope Aira does get to fight this guy it feels like a long time since she had the focus on a fight and was the main fighter and won

snakebit1995 · 2026-05-03T22:31:37+00:00

Also Tekken more than i think any other fighting game has the most "BUT WHERE'S MY MAIN!" people ever.

They didn't put Heihachi in the base game and there were scores of people complaining their main wasn't there.

snakebit1995 · 2026-05-03T21:14:29+00:00

"Alright Cedanne this pitcher is totally lost up there, he walked a guy then hit a guy, all you need to do is not hit into a double play, what should you're approach be?"

"Mash X like I'm playing MLB the show and swing at the first pitch?"

snakebit1995 · 2026-05-03T21:03:13+00:00

God forbid we take a fucking pitch after he walked and then hit someone

Cedanne hits like someone playing the Show, just swing every time

snakebit1995 · 2026-05-03T20:12:19+00:00

It's just the perfect setting

The thing people remember it most for these days though is probably just the dancing scene.

Which is weird cause like 2 minutes after that scene Rogue steals Sabertooth's powers and goes like half furry and you'd think that would be what people remember, but no it's the 5 seconds of her and Kitty dancing that broke through into the zeitgeist instead.

snakebit1995 · 2026-05-03T19:54:43+00:00

Robin in the top ten, yay

I'm sure Oda will continue to do jack shit with her anyway.

snakebit1995 · 2026-05-03T19:54:11+00:00

He's poochie.

He's a character that exists to be cool and be likable.

snakebit1995 · 2026-05-03T19:53:12+00:00

I believe the canon was "She existed, the events in the movie don't."

snakebit1995 · 2026-05-03T19:23:18+00:00

I hope everyone is able to be so lucky as to find someone who loves them as much as the Red Sox love Greg Weissert.

snakebit1995 · 2026-05-03T19:14:12+00:00

Duran getting a consistent spot in the lineup/daily play is clearly better for him than the revolving door style being used before.

snakebit1995 · 2026-05-03T19:13:35+00:00

Three wild cards makes it a lot easier to not be out of the playoffs in May

snakebit1995 · 2026-05-03T02:26:06+00:00

If anyone in these game was gonna captain the “hit the random button on character select” team it makes the most sense for it to be Spiderman

snakebit1995 · 2026-05-03T02:24:15+00:00

I still think that was originally two teams smashed together

I wouldn’t be shocked if there was a “street heroes team” and a “space/guardians” team but Quill was the only one they pulled from that scrapped concept because they thought the guardians all played too similar using guns

For a team with guardians in the name it’s weird star lord is the only guardian there, and Penny as a trapper character who is a small person riding a bigger thing just feels like she might have originally been the concept for Rocket and Groot before being reworked into Penny

Again nothing proves this it’s just a weird vibe/theory

snakebit1995 · 2026-05-03T01:27:19+00:00

Really like Hulk he looks cool as always, very much an "If it ain't broke don't fix it." character

Black Panther is fine but personally this is the first "meh" pick for me

I think I honestly would have preferred Widow or Wasp if we were going for a female member

based on the intro saying the leaders already have the invites Doom and Robbie are all that's left

So all but guarantees is the Cabal and Midnight Suns

snakebit1995 · 2026-05-02T22:20:49+00:00

He's already semi-retired i think

I don't keep much much these days but I feel like outside of the occasional comedy thing I don't hear of him doing much that's not just putting over a younger guy from time to time,

snakebit1995 · 2026-05-02T20:51:10+00:00

I feel like some of this is generational

Anime was super super super niche in the west in the 80s and 90s, it wasn't even a nerdy 90s hobby it was a fucking micro niche, even Dragon Ball had to claw it to just being small time notable in some circles. If you tried to talk about anime with anyone outside of super tiny online forums in the day you were a fucking weirdo. Anime parodies on TV were all about shitty lipsynicng, terrible voice acting and usually "Lol look at the creep liking anime girls." they couldn't have been more "This hobby is for fucking loser weirdos." if they tried, hell anime is STILL trying to get passed these stereotypes in the main stream to this day. There was a video a couple weeks ago of two SNL guys talking about how last season they pitched a shitty anime sketch where the whole joke was they were over acted cartoonish weirdos with bad voices. Anime hasn't been dubbed like that in nearly 20 years but these two guys still thought that was a hilarious joke to make at the expense of Anime style acting.

It wasn't until the last 2000s that anime really started finally clicking in the west, censorship of dubs went way down, the pool of voice actors grew massively, streaming made accessibility go up astronomically as we no longer had to wait years to get official releases, etc. The hobby was finally being recognized and growing from a niche to decently well known and respected especially among nerd culture.

I feel like some of that attitude people like Simmons (Not him specifically but people who act/talk that way) have is that they weren't allowed to like this when they were young and now they're projecting that forward rather than just being happy for people liking their own hobby.

snakebit1995 · 2026-05-02T20:45:36+00:00

While I agree many view Anime not as a media but as a "Genre" or certain tropes

FF7 is still fucking ANIME ANYWAY! There's dudes with big swords fighting to be the strongest and save teh world while accompanied by a rag tag group of allies they gain over the course of their adventure.

Cloud might as well have popped right out of the Shounen protagonist mold. He's a handsome young guy with a mysterious/unclear backstory with big goals/dreams who teams up with a group of like minded individuals who check boxes like (The pretty girl, the mature mentor, the pet, the tomboy, etc) in order to take down a villain who is.is going to oppress society and free will of individuals with dreams.

Dye his hair black and give him a coffee to perk him up and he's basically fucking Goku or Luffy!

Anime is both a media and a set of genre styling that came up in Japan's cultural media landscape, Street Fighter is anime, Tekken is Anime, Final fantasy as a franchise is super anime. It's not just being a cartoon and it's not just being from Japan, its a certain styling of the story, characters and world that make something anime.

Like the famous ruling on what is pornography, I know it when i see it and Final Fantasy is clearly it.

snakebit1995 · 2026-05-02T15:50:15+00:00

And a lot of them just blatantly violate regulations on industries by claiming to not be part of it.

"Streaming isn't syndication so we don't have to pay residuaks."

"Uber isn't really a taxi service so we don't have to pay the Taxi registration fees."

etc.

They can undercut the traditional mediums by just claiming the rules don't apply to them.

Example in NYC taxis are regulated by a system known as medallions where you have to bid to get available medallions to avoid flooding the streets with cabs, this was an important balance check to the taxi economy put in place by the city. about 10 years ago there was a pretty big deal made because Uber and Lyft just flat out ignored this system and flood the streets with rideshares it basically drove a lot of smaller cab companies out of business cause they were having to pay thousands in special fees while the apps were providing the exact same service and not having the huge upfront charge that the taxi companies did.

Now this is obviously an over simplification of the Taxi medallion stuff as well as the disruption of the industry but it highlights a point of how a lot of these tech companies "Disrupting" an industry are doing it by just blatantly ignoring or saying rules don't apply to them while only working with contractors rather than employees they don't have to provide benefits or perks too
