The Chair Company is like watching a playthrough of a deranged point-&-click where all the side character dialog is so unnecessarily out of pocket.

Man, no shade on Anime Pasadena (I think the event was run wonderfully!), but seeing fan merch REALLY limited to whatever is popular right now is kind of a bummer. It's always been the trend, but I'm assuming the high cost of producing stuff is causing artists to only make what the know will sell.

Gee, it's almost like...making the same exact soulless "toy" for nearly two decades isn't a good idea.
Not only that, but every time these guys did try to make something interesting, they completely buried it.

If you haven't checked out our series Failing Upward, we could really use some momentum leading into the next episode (which is currently being edited)! If you love stuff like Daria, Mission Hill, and Scott Pilgrim, you'll dig this show!

No couples costumes this year, just closet stuff. I did a very rushed Alan from Smiling Friends and my girlfriend put on some quick clown make up before we went to Yoi Toki's Halloween thing!

Should I break an 8 year no-soda clause to try out Over Garden The Wall Green Apple Pepsi at Requiem cafe tomorrow? I would go back to no soda right after.

I love that even as I get older, I'm still discovering new movies I would've loved (and been terrified of) as a kid. Check out Paperhouse on Tubi, it's a great little YA horror film that doesn't get talked about enough. Definitely a precursor to Coraline.

LOL someone took the worst possible photo of me behind my girlfriend at the Requiem OTGW event. I'm looking squinting and looking up from my phone.

I know everyone was bummed about Smiling Friends being a re-run this week, but Haha, You Clowns made me cry laughing. If you grew up watching 90s sitcoms, this show was tailor made for you. Also all the small mannerism details they do are incredible.

Every time I see college kids bragging about using Chat GPT to write essays, I think of that episode of Undeclared where Will Ferrell writes all of Jay Baruchel's essays.
