Packed up my stuff in preparation for moving back to my parents

I had to pack up my Invincible compendium since I don't think I'd be able to carry it in my bag without my spine being snapped in two which means I'll be reading more Chainsaw Man until I move

going from this to Vandalize, and all after the P5R ports which already has bangers…Sega probably winning best music in gaming for 2022

It's between this and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever that'll claim the highest-grossing film of this year. Most guarantee.

Yup, I seen that.

Hope they do one on in your country the Land of Oz. Love to see megalania and thylacoleo depicted in these high detailed graphics.
Something about that scene with the sabretooths and terror bird has me worried...

The last time was catastrophic

Documentaries showing Terror Birds as fodder for the superior mammal predators and being outcompeted by them.

The myth of mammalian superiority continues.

Seeing another look at famous creatures like Trex, woolly mammoths, and sabretooth cats are always enjoyable, but I’m more excited to see some variety.

Arthropleura and Titanis are both just as recognizable yet appear so less frequently in paleo documentaries, I really want to see them get some of the spotlight.

Edit: The Palaeozoic era is pretty underrated.

Lamperouge Lamperouge Dyllybirdy Dyllybirdy need the thoughts on my new sig.

Went just Laid-Back Camp plus K-On and DIY (slice of life anime this season).

I like it but might replace one with Lucky Star.

Wrong, everyone is from the US online.
Then where are you from?

Where am I from?

Was it all America?

Pokemon fans when the franchise talks about enviromentalism and nature constantly even in more nuanced ways like invasive species or technology and nature being able to coexist: "Wow this is fun!"


Pokemon fans when X and Y's post game has a transwoman:

This implies that Pokemon fans became true gamers at Gen 6 when we all know it happened well before then.

Looks nice.

I don't have an opinion on K-On and DIY as I've never seen them but more Rin and Nadeshiko is never a bad thing.

Why did MPL FiM have only one black coded Zebra character and never gave us more ****ing zebras.

Sure, yeah Zecora runs on Stereotypes but damn, they could of worked with her more
On the flipside Bronies would have ruined zebras fast as **** so was it really a loss not having more?

I finished chapter 6 of Bayonetta 3. (so I'm making my way through it slowly but steadily - I think I'm about 40% done) I'm enjoying it so far, though Viola's use of witch time seems finicky at best. (it's kind of like Raiden's parrying in Metal Gear Rising, but the timing seems much tighter)

As of now, my only complaint with the story is that twice now, they've introduced alternate universe Bayonettas only for them to go down like nameless cannon fodder witches from the flashbacks in the first game, getting hit with attacks that they easily dodged in gameplay, and those attacks killing them in a single hit even though they could take 20+ of the same attack five seconds ago. I get that the game isn't about them (the Marvel series What-If did the exact same thing to show how much of a threat a given villain is), but it seems to undermine Bayonetta's power if her alternate selves have the durability of wet paper bags, dying from a single bite or being grabbed.

Otherwise, it's about what I expected - over-the-top action setpieces with the story acting as a thin justification for them. The gameplay's great, and I'm enjoying the spider yo-yos, at least. (I haven't gotten a chance to try out the train weapon, though I find that I'm not a fan of the big/bulky weapons in these games)

that’s gonna happen 2 more times unfortunately, but you’ll likely really only feel for the last alternate Bayonetta anyways.

and yeah that cursed parry timing with Viola is a pain

Whoa, I see more MLP discussion happened!

Yea it'd have been cool to see more zebras, especially in the later seasons where they started expanding on the other species more. Would've been cool to have one added to the School of Friendship setting (btw, Silverstream is best school student)

Right now playing the Japanese version of Mario Party 1 so I can capture the moment where Wario and/or Luigi say "OH MY GOD!"

Holy ****! I just realized now how Troll is basically a blend of the 1954 and 1998 Godzilla films!

Hear me out!

-You have ancient monsters awakening as a result of human activity, Godzilla awakened by hydrogen bombs, the Troll awakened from an explosion caused by mining (1954).
-One of the characters is a paleontologist (1998).
-Has politics involved with how to deal with said ancient monster (1954).
-Both titular monsters goes on a rampage through the country setting landfall on the country's capital city, Tokyo for Godzilla, Oslo for the Troll (1954).

This is so ridiculous I just can't help but love this. It's Godzilla in Norway!

Peter Pan is getting a horror movie.

First Winnie the Pooh, then the Grinch, and now this.

Apparently so is Thor.

Wait until we get a Barney the Dinosaur horror movie. I feel that's one bound to happen. Lol.

Of course. Go ahead. Ruin the magic for everyone. This is why we need stronger copyright protections.
