Peculiar properties of spacetime ensure that the perception of the magnitude of Soon is fluid and dependent, not on an individual's time-reference, but on spatial and cultural location. A marketer generally perceives Soon as a finite, known, yet unspeakable time-interval; to a fan, the interval appears greater, and may in fact approach the infinite, becoming Never. Once the interval has passed, however, a certain time-lensing effect seems to occur, and the time-interval becomes vanishingly small. We therefore see the strange result that the same fragment of spacetime may be observed, in quick succession, as Soon, Never, and All Too Quickly.

Saw Krampus the other day. I liked it. It's probably not up to the standards of a lot of people here, but it was an old-fashioned monster movie that went heavy on the practical effects. You have to appreciate that.
That being said I wouldn't call it a horror movie, more like a monster movie with a lot of black humor (or a black comedy with monsters in it, not sure which).

In this moment, I am Ur-phoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my int score.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

So I got the Hastune Miku unoffical manga omnibus. Chapter 15 has Meiko Unnamed Onee-san complaining about how there's a new, good-looking model with a good voice showing up.
Rin:Anyway, it's not like this super idol she was freakiing out about could really exist...
Kaito: Huh? Oh right... sorry. I'd like to introduce everyone to a new member of our little coterie here.
Luka: I'm Megurine Luka. Nice to meet you.

The FF7 Abridged has been really hit-or-miss for me. Some of the episodes are fucking hilarious and others are mediocre, with few chuckle-worthy moments. Barrett has consistently been the funniest character and Tifa has consistently been the least.Maxus wrote:This conversation in FF7 Abridged Machina
I'm genuinely curious to see if the series' quality drops with the source material's (I found almost everything out of Midgar in that game to be overwhelmingly mediocre, especially when compared to how good the Midgar portion was.)

I may have already said this, but I read Long Halloween, a Batman graphic novel.
I found it pretty good. I could dig Batman if it did the more detectivey angle instead of "I'm going to throw money at the problem and invent a solution on the spot. Then put it on a batarang and hit someone in the head with it."
Also, I like how it's basically a Shakespearean tragedy--it didn't need to turn out like it did.
So, anyway, yeah, 8/10, would read again.

Hanging out the wash in Australia
Sydney:Hang out washing, go to collect in half hour - bone dry.
Hobart:Hang out washing, go to collect in half hour - hasn't dried at all, has probably been rained on.
Melbourne:Hang out washing, get sunburnt in raging sunlight whilst doing so, go to collect in half hour - wet again, as it's now raining.
Brisbane:Hang out washing, go to collect in half hour - still has that damp kinda feeling because even the clothes are sweating; why so humid?
Canberra:hang out washing, go to collect in half hour - Tony Abbott is tangled in your clothesline and you have to beat him away with a broom.
Darwin:Hang out washing, go to collect in half hour - washing has blown away, time for a new wardrobe.
Perth:Hang out washing, go to collect in half hour - washing gone, claimed by great white shark.
Adelaide:Hang out washing, go to collect a minute later cos it's already dry.

The last few OOTSes haven't been bad. I actually rather liked Terms and Conditions, even though it was talky, since it at least recognized the main plot.

Found a little browser game, Dungeon Robber. This is probably what OSRs should be reserved for.

So, strange as it may sound, I never saw Robocop. Recently downloaded it, just started watching.
...this thing was put out in 1987, and I counted at least six black cops in the precinct in the first ten minutes. That is fucking astonishing, given that we still have movies with all-white casts.

It just struck me as I was watching. Granted, most of those cops were extras in the background with a line at most, but it still seemed remarkable.

But what impresses me is that the film was only off by one letter in predicting the SUV.
"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."
It's funny you mention it; I've got this notion I like to share sometimes about how race relations are on the downslide ('things are better than when my grandparents were my age; they are worse than when my parents were') and Robocop is a movie I invoke specifically as a quick proof. You can substitute any number of other sweaty action movies from the era; Total Recall; the Warriors; whatever.
Yeah, the lead character was generally always a white male, but everybody else looked like they were cast directly out of an end-to-end walk through LA.

This signature is here just so you don't otherwise mistake the last sentence of my post for one.
That's an interesting point, actually, yeah. I mean, Predator and They Live both had pretty significant supporting characters that were black, RoboCop has a black police sergeant.

I have a hard time taking it seriously given that he said "any number of sweaty action movies" but the ones he name checked are all weird and very self-conscious about American culture. For example, The Warriors has quite a bit of diversity in its cast, but it's also rather bowdlerized compared to the original book, which was basically a lurid '60s pulp novel about brown people murdering and raping one another.

Yes, an author from 1965 was more racist and a director from 1979 was less racist. This is representative of a positive trend in race relations through the latter half of the 20th century. This is not disproof, but is, in fact, is a necessary conceit, of the claim that
