centrism aside it was wild to a see Flying Spaghetti Monster mention in 2026 of all years. Like a marine biologist observing the Coelacanth for the first time only its mating cry is “the narwhal bacons at midnight.”

Ah, so that’s what pigs mean when they threaten to throw the book at you.
IIRC the man that runs the hospital in the upper layer of Taris in KOTOR is called a doctor by his assistant.

Nothing is built to accommodate your need to reach high things, which then impacts what you can wear because you gotta dress in anticipation of climbing. People don’t take you as serious as they should. Dating is a hellscape of people who absolutely won’t be normal about your height. There’s less clothes in your size in the shops so you gotta do all your clothes shopping online which sucks 'cos there’s never any actual indication of how the fabrics feel, and like, that’s one of the most important parts of clothing.
Fucking sucks.
3·13 days agoSome Streets of Rogue with my siblings. The success rolls on the comedian’s jokes are viciously low, my sister ended up saving me from angry mobs way more often that intended.
Spycop shit if ever I saw it.
People out there trying to achieve CHIM instead of carrying out revolutionary praxis.
Fucking “law of attraction”-arse, individualism poisoned, political ideology.
Average day in Black Marsh.

Either AI slop, or Hamas has declared war on the frog men. Take your pick.

You must claim the bits of your fallen comrades and weave them into your badposting.
The greatest poster will be born piecemeal from the crucible of who have strove to post only to fail.
The only time they do it around here is the 5th of November and I’m conflicted about it:
On one hand:
-
Bonfire Night is the one of the few big communal celebrations my neck of the woods has now the attempts at resurrecting Mari Lwyd have fizzled out around here.
-
I personally enjoy the bright lights and noises.
-
I think it helps instill a wonder in chemistry in children and can be an engaging way to teach them about safety around flammable materials.
-
I have some fun teenage memories of goofing around with fireworks that gives the whole event some sentimental value that gives me more attachment than I should.
Whereas on the other:
-
It’s a miserable time for animals, not just people’s pets but also wildlife (which, I feel, is often missing in the conversation). And can have a shitty effect on the local ecosystem.
-
Is a significant number of children being severely, permanently injured and/or traumatised each year worth it to drill a respect for proper fire safety into people? Fuck no!
-
There’s some boomer-headed fuckers out there who’ve moulded messing around with fireworks into their narrative of how they’re some sorta strong men from a fash “soft men -> hard times” narrative. Like all those twats that keep rambling about drinking from hoses.
Overall, I lean slightly towards banning the whole thing but not without some internal conflict.
-
I rarely feel like replaying an 80/100/120+ hour game to see all the other stuff I missed (glaring at you Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous).
Now that they’ve fleshed it out a bit more, I keep meaning to go back and do the Aeon -> Devil path until I remember just how long that game is. Worse still with Devil since most of it plays out as various negotiations in the command room, so you spend ages burning time in crusade management waiting for your various schemes to spin up.
Fox hunting is illegal in the UK, so the work around is that they lay the scent trail to simulate the fox hunt and then accidentally go off the trail and accidentally end up killing foxes. This is a ruling class hobby so there’s no actual enforcement of this ban so often times fox hunters won’t even bother with the pretence of following these trails, the trail hunting excuse is just something that is used as part of leveraging the arm of the state against hunt saboteurs.
As for why they’re so obsessed with this hyper specific form of animal cruelty:
CW: implied beastiality
They get some sorta sexual pleasure outta it. For example: former prime-minister, Boris Johnson once described the feeling of riding a horse during one of these hunts in an op-ed as “a semi-sexual relation with the horse”.
6·2 months agoWar Between Land and Sea episode 5 rant
“You can’t eat our dogs, they’re domesticated.”
The swerve™️ has arrived. As the sea devils start melting the ice caps dooming both the land an seas for no fucking reason, Barkley desperately tries to reunite with Salt. Will UNIT stop Severance in time? Will the nations of the earth do something about the ecological collapse occurring? How will they end this in a way that doesn’t fundamentally change the status quo of earth in Dr Who? Find out tonight.
Barkley running out at midnight every night to stick his head beneath the waves and yell for Salt is an objectively funny visual no matter how dramatic they wanted it to be.
UNIT is once again useless without the Doctor to fix everything. Kate had a lead on Severance but couldn’t do anything more than beat around the bush and then storm off when he didn’t immediately spill.
Euros and using germ warfare on native populations, name a more iconic duo.
Shoddy signs at the human supremacist protest.
Mankind wiped out 90% of Sea Devil population, relegated the remaining to a reservation and is continuing to poison the Earth, but Barkley and Salt are still together in what is framed as a happy ending for some reason.
Nothing ever happens. It is easier to imagine mass genocide of ancient sea lizard men than the end of capitalism.
“corporate punk” what, like the Sex Pistols?
Ol’ Reliable - the stabbed in the back myth.
“Ukraine totally coulda won if Jews/Commies/Russian speaking Ukrainians/Hamas hadn’t undermined the war effort with their scheming.”
war between land a sea rant (spoilers for episodes 3 + 4)
“I don’t have kids, when I get out of here I’m calling my brother”
“I don’t want to be soup.”
“You came here, to our homes, and killed yourselves to make everything worse.”
“Change the name. Earth. Too dry.”
As the diplomatic talks move over to the Sea Devil’s territory, UNIT sends their negotiators to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. Meanwhile, the governments of Britain and the US continue to conspire to commit genocide and plunder.
Will Woke UNIT be disbanded? What do the Sea Devils want? Why’d they send a man who’s clearly terrified of the deep ocean as part of the team? Find out tonight.
Kate and that other UNIT member whose name I keep forgetting had all that side plot stuff in episode 2 just so they could kill him for some limp pathos. That’s that for a subplot that somehow felt both under and over developed at the same time, at least it’s over.
Barkley really took the first opportunity to rizz up that fish person didn’t he? Damn, that man moves fast.
The Dr Who universe mourns the death of one of its Glup Shittos tonight, RIP UN guy from Torchwood: Children of the Earth.
Terror on the Deep
Mfw neo-nazis scupper the peace talks before you have a chance to, so now you gotta hide your ties to them by killing the CEO of Thames Water.
Salt was definitely zooted on the river cocaine from swimming too close to Westminster, when she was running 'round breaking glass in that abandoned warehouse, wasn’t she?
Any ideas what the new, wetter name for Earth is gonna be?
Overall: It’s good so far, though 4/5 of the way through it’s gonna be a rush job to tie up all the loose ends and I don’t think they can nail that landing. I’m curious to see if UNIT will even last the end of the series now that they’re fighting the British army. The romance stuff between Barkley and Salt further highlights the cowardice of not using the old Sea Devil designs.
new Dr Who spin-off rant. Spoilers for the first two episodes therein
“I bring you a gift. My children.” Throws dead babies on the ground in front of UN security council
The bloke that hires the taxis for UNIT stumbles arse backwards into being the negotiator in an attempt to forge peace with the sea devils, when they threaten war over pollution poisoning their homes.
Also featuring the significant corridor from Torchwood’s Children of the Earth miniseries.
First let’s deal with the elephant in the room: these new sea devils suck. Like them or not, the old sea devils were an iconic design these new ones look generic people with bits attached. The sea devil’s ambassador being even more under-designed than that makes it even worse. You 100% do not need to make the fish men hot for people to sympathise with them.
But other than that…
I liked it so far, considering new Dr Who there is non-zero chance they’ll miss the landing, but it’s cool so far. The scenes with the politicians and oil companies scheming to undermine the diplomacy because kick starting a planet spanning genocide is seen as a lesser problem than taking in less profits was my favourite. Although the bit in the first episode with the fishing village is a close second.
Making the human ambassador drink London’s tainted shit water was one hell of a diplomatic power move. Surprised they fell for the “UWU We’re sowwy we poisoned all your water. 🥺” shit and the incrementalist non-solution the UN gave was inevitable.
The sea devils dumping humanity’s plastic back on their laps is set up as part of The Swerve™️, but it’s nowhere near as bad as what mankind was doing to them over a longer period of time. It does make me wonder why they didn’t use this tech to unpollute their homes to begin with.
It is easier to imagine the sea devil invasion than the end of capitalism.
Guess we’re woke and gay in Hyrule and Black Mesa
If Half-life: Decay came out today, these fuckers would be decrying it as woke propaganda because both the protagonists are dressed like this:
Instead of some sorta boobplate.
Hong Kong was my fav.
Same here. There was some great stuff you could do in that game with cyberware, like that arm that automatically returned grenades that landed next to you.
Decking is less of a slog in Hong Kong as well, which is my big complaint with Returns/Dragonfall. I’m dreading hoofing Blitz around cyberspace when I get to the bit where you find APEX.
