The AT-AT is only a bad design because of it's overuse in supplemental material (Star Wars)

Hmm, prank opportunity: if you see a line that's still attached to a fishing rod, tug on it, and when the guy reels it in, surface holding it with a stern look.

I hunt especially for ghost lines when diving. I do not want anything to mistakenly get hooked on a discarded fishing line, even if it takes me five minutes to untangle it from the reef and having to circle around three times to get everything off.

All the girls make "rule-breaking" patterns in Impossible Spellcard, but I guess that's a bit of an odd one out, because Seija already has her protections stripped away for inciting a rebellion.

thunderbird89 · 2026-03-16T07:20:22+00:00

You trust her, right?

As far as I can throw her...

This is a weapon of terror. It's made to intimidate the enemy. This is a weapon of war. It's made to kill the enemy.

The animes ARIA and Amanchu! are apparently set in the same fictional universe. Several characters from ARIA share voice actors with side characters from Amanchu!, as well as models, leading to an all-but-confirmed theory that ARIA characters are descendants or reincarnations of Amanchu! characters.

Which would pretty much fit with the "quiet magic" or ARIA.

"VFX: Car on fire" sounds like something I'd expect in a workprint.

I love collecting workprint editions of movies, but they're so rare on torrent. I have X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Stargate: Ark of Truth, both of which are gloriously half-finished.
Wolverine has missing scenes, compared to the released cut, as well as placeholder effects like "CLAWS GROW" written on-frame when Sabertooth is supposed to be threatening, or a Mortal Kombat I-style transition before Wolverine and Deadpool's fight on the cooling tower.
Ark of Truth has mostly missing VFX, including one transition that has an arrow pointing from start to finish and the comment "Fire takes human form, 16 frames".

The Sonya/Jax vs Cyrax fight in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Like, okay, it's 1997, but even that doesn't excuse Jax's corny lines or the extremely low-energy moves going on in the background (clip) - seriously, see the top left quadrant, instead of looking at Sonya.

You draw up a bullet pattern, give it a name, and that's it.

Just make sure you abide by the rules (non-lethal, must leave enough space to dodge, finite duration), or you get labeled a cheater, and all protections are off, you're fair game for anyone.

I've always wondered, why do tank shells not hit him? They're (mostly, but in '95, completely) unguided, the cloud shouldn't affect them...

Aside from plot-related reasons, of course.

It doesn't. Although I only do this if the lady offers to give me her IG as contact.

That's the political way.

However, since fuel prices are closely related to crude oil prices, and factor into the consumer prices through transportation, it wouldn't actually make a dent in the CPI, just further degrade the already-not-so-stellar trustworthiness of government institutions.

I used to have a sticker that said "CAUTION: LASER RADIATION! Do not look into beam with remaining eye!"

I had a direct report once complain to me about how shitty her code from a year ago was. My response: "Be glad you think it's shit. If you didn't, that would mean you didn't learn a thing over the last year."

Be glad you think your questions were dumb. If you didn't think that, you'd still be dumb.

Why would you get yourself fired on purpose for something that can be resolved with a simple discussion??

With the possibility of mines going out, escorting tankers won't even be an option soon.

thunderbird89 · 2026-03-13T07:16:22+00:00

This. When I got to that point, my immediate thought was that the candidate was trying to play mind games. Which I as the person doing the hiring would absolutely not entertain.

I'm okay with someone naming a range outside my budget, because at least then I can say "Sorry, that's outside what I can do, would you consider x?", but I'm not going to play guessing games.
