You see what happened after we had a black president? A black pope would cause the apocalypse.

Also apparently the only black candidate had really conservative views and we don’t need any more of that right now.
God. Can’t believe they made an American the pope. Everyone knows the pope was always meant to be a rabbit

They started having a semi romantic relationship before either of them knew. And after they found out she was imprisoned for a few episodes and then turned into a mindless mutant. And by the time she got back full control of herself splinter was dead.

So yeah they never really explore it but they’re officially dating in the final season.
Technically she was in full control well before Splinter died (got it late S3 and we see her trying to take over the Foot for the best set of story beats via the Super Shredder storyline), and that still ain’t stop her from wanting more of Leo
HOW DOES IT KEEP GETTING WORSE???

View attachment 402435

EVERYTHING I LEARN ABOUT THIS SITUATION ADDS ON MORE LAYERS OF TRAUMA.

THEY FLIRT A BIT, SHE GOES TO PRISON AND GETS MIND CONTROLLED, THEIR DAD DIES, AND THEN THEY START DATING? WHEN DOES SHE FIND OUT THEY HAVE THE SAME DAD? THEY MADE THE CHOICE TO DATE KNOWING THAT? KNOWING THEY HAVE THE SAME DAD THAT THEY ARE BOTH GRIEVING FOR DIFFERENT, COMPLEX REASONS?

They need couples therapy NOW. Ain't no way this relationship can be healthy with that much trauma surrounding it geez.
They both find out in season 2 (Leo the 1st episode while Karai a little halfway). And it won’t help, but Leorai (as the ship is called) wasn’t actually made into a canon relationship. Only Raph/Mona and Mikey/Renet (a time traveling woman) were official couples

…well maybe also Donnie and April since that’s been around since the first episode, the amount of kisses she gave him (lips included), and it being the most popular pairing of both the show and the franchise overall (how and why idk…but Nickelodeon sure had no problem with it since they now got Rogen Leo thirsting for April)
Can I just say I think the only decent romantic relationship in TMNT 2012 is Raph and Mona Lisa?
Shredder and revenge >
Hamato and Tang Shen is the real peak relationship, even if both Raph and Mikey had better luck with love than the abusive April and the Alabama lovin’ Leo

I'm due to watch Thunderbolts* tomorrow and I'll post my review in a later post.
As promised, I have watched the Thunderbolts* today and it was one of the better MCU films to date. It is exactly like what Z25 Z25 stated as the film really was able to showcase its theme brilliantly especially when that was established amongst their characters plus "Bob" and how well they were all able to come together eventually.

During the post credit scenes, there was a mention that Sam is forming his own Avengers and then cuts to the scene where the Fantastic 4 space jet came through.

How good is it? I'm planning to see it despite the drama on the internet.

I could see her as Rio or related to her depending on what story approach they take. She fits that personality so well too.

Easily an 8 or 9. I was someone who wasn’t stoked for this lineup of characters minus Ghost. But I kept an open mind. The first trailer looked solid and then watching the movie It really caught me off guarding.

Has some really deep themes that hit close to home for a lot of people. Something the final trailer they put it sort of alluded to. But you get to dive into each characters backstory and see what’s led them to be who they are.

Great action scenes that are almost, if not all practical. Each character gets their time to shine in the movie, and the score is one of the best in the MCU.

The ending is great too and makes everything click perfectly; why this lineup is what it is, where it’s going and the significance of it all.

I have three tiny gripes with the film, that I won’t go into detail of because it’s spoiler heavy.

But the themes of the movie and the fact it can make you care and feel for all the characters on screen, really highlight how strong of an entry it is.

I’ll have to rewatch it again, but this movie might make my top 10 marvel films. Which really surprised me.

Did someone say Gex blow up doll?


Now the Amano art for Gex Trilogy is unreal.
The way they gave such a huge glow-up to Rez, one of the ****tiest gaming antagonists of all time is wild 😭

Unfortunately the trilogy's likely based on the PS1 versions so Gex 3's console-exclusive sexism will live on to the modern generation.

Assuming no more accidents tomorrow or through the night. I think my dog is gonna be fine. I apparently found out its normal for dogs to go a day or two without pooping after bouts of diarrhea as the system has to cleanse itself and form new stool.

See what happens tomorrow...

And if she did have a bowel obstruction she wouldn't have passed any. Gotta stop trusting the internet. My vet said and so did the animal rescue owner.

I...I overall think I overreacted to be honest. As I said. I'm the type of person that jumps to the worst case scenarios when it comes to my precious fur baby.

But unfortunately I'm an emotional person and given tge age she's not. It really gets to me.

Y’all can say whatever you want about Rise but you can’t deny that their Donnie and April are peak friendship goals
also oddly one of the many reminders of the Casey Jones downfall (which is weird since he’s supposed to have the peak turtle friendships)

Hey man, don't sweat it. It's clear that your dog and her happiness is incredibly important to you. I can tell she brings you a lot of joy, and it's understandable that any struggles she has are going to really upset you.

I think it's admirable, really. Your devotion and love for her is something that warms my heart a lot. Hold onto that.

Reports are coming in that Warner Bros Discovery may be split up soon.
Oh please save WB from the horror of Discovery Channel…

Wait… who’s doing the splitting up? Is it the government? Cause if they do that they won’t just split off WB and Discovery they’ll split up everything! DC, Cartoon Network, Hanna-Barbera, HBO, New Line Cinema, all thrown to the wings to fall where they may! That would be a disaster!

It’s all speculation right now, but it’s Warner Bros Discovery considering the split.

Running from the cops in Stardust Speedway.
Here are some more Sonic the Hedgehog ideas I would like to share with you all if that is okay.

For this next one, by holding the LT button on the controller while making Sonic move left or right, the player can make Sonic go left or right without turning 90 degrees, much in the Sonic 2 like special stages in Sonic games and Sonic and the Secret Rings. This can be useful for accessing paths on ramps on the side that would require this ability, and upgrades like in Sonic Adventure can make this go smoother.

It is much like these.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCbsS4k5Enk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZGJ0s70xRk

Next one is called Re-Acceleration. When Sonic brakes when the player holds backward, Sonic can, when stopping or being close to stopping, can accelerate to the previous speed he was at when he braked if the player double taps the control stick forward to make this happen.

Now, this idea, called the Selective Brake Drift, works like this. Look at 0:16 to 0:18 here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zb4nK9ssOWk

Notice how Sonic brakes before turning. With this, Sonic can do this outside of corner sections, but there will be thick, yellow marks on the path at certain corners where Sonic can do this move and not only that, there will be the option to turn Sonic left or right while doing this. Plus, if there is a number of paths when he faces left or right, as determined by the control stick while on these marks, as he is slowing down, the player can choose which path, which is highlighted when the cursor is on the path desired by the player, and Sonic will go to the path selected, though unless Sonic is braking a distance away, the player may need to act fast under a short distance.

For this last idea, called Ultra-Drift, look at the green dash pads here, like at 0:10.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIqPLft7cok

These dash pads, honestly were not the best thing done in the game, Sonic Frontiers, but with this, have them make Sonic make tighter turns than with the Drift alone. The Drift could coexist with this move, and if used in conjunction with the Green Dash Pads to turn even tighter and access new routes. The wider turns that lead to the more “outer” paths, if you know what I mean, will still likely have more rewards or even have something of still being a shorter path, so even you want to take the tighter turn, it is advised that you choose wisely.

So, what do you think?

I've hit the engine room of Rusty Bucket Bay.

This is utter doodoo
I like how every post you make about that game for the past few days has been

"Oh wow, this game is better than I expected! It's quite charming, I don't see why Banjo Kazooie has become somewhat divisive online"

Those ****ing fart sounds I hate:
