It’s… like… we all know that essay girl is just trying to jumpstart her road to being a conservative pundit, right?

To put it briefly, a girl was assigned an essay, didn’t engage with the assignment and spewed uncited transphobia under the word requirement.

I know social media tailors stuff for us based on what we put out and engage with but I absolutely love that we’re societally trapped in a 90’s sitcom learning the same lesson over and over again.

But instead of it being responsibility, it’s that AI isn’t actually smart.

I personally don’t get why we as an internet feel the need to make up shit about already shitty people.

If someone is a serial abuser, corrupt politician, rapist, child predator, ect., we don’t need to make shit up for whatever reason. Let their actual shitty actions stand for themselves, dude.

I love alternate and secret areas in JRPG's. I love getting to experience more monsters, better treasure, and even secret bosses. This is different from an endgame dungeon or one you get to access after getting a clear file. That's a bonus dungeon or area. Very different.

I hate how FF12 does it.

So I'm gonna preface this with a confirmation that I do not like a manipulative propaganda plotline because I the viewer will see it coming a mile away. I saw Vox's overall game very quickly because I've seen this plot a lot and, very frustratingly, in real life.

But god damn Season 2 was great.
So I'm gonna reserve full judgement for next week, but I'm kinda... not super impressed with Hazbin season 2?

I guess the biggest thing that's irking me is I have zero affection for the manipulative propaganda plot and it's basically been four episodes of the TV head playing everyone with it.

Look. I personally didn’t play Expedition 33 and presently I have no plans to but can we go one year without the chuds losing their minds about who is likely to (or already won) game of the year claiming “no one played it”?

This goes beyond narrow tastes. This defies logic and reality.

Folks rag on Tidus and I kinda get it. He can be grating and his character arc is he goes from a spoiled jock to a selfless hero.

But also, the poor kid got thrown from a hedonistic city to a post-apocalyptic world full of monsters and any attempts to explain where he’s from are met with offense.

So Target is in free fall, barely holding on. Their original base that was almost entirely comprised of people left of center and beyond shopping there has abandoned them because the instant we got Trump: The Sequel, they take an active stance against DEI.

What's a great solution to this?

I'll be the first to admit that my desire to watch anime has kinda waned in the last decade, so I can say I probably sound like a curmudgeon about this but why are the titles so damned long?

I don't need the plot summary to be the title and I kinda hate it when the shows do that.

I guess I’m just kinda… confused… about the counters you see both online and offline about Trump being on the Epstein list because most of the time they bring out Clinton’s likelihood of being on there like it’ll shut us up but like… does that mean we’re finally mask off about it?

On one hand, we should absolutely be a little concerned that moralists on the left can’t understand writing a villain isn’t the same as being one.

But the real media literacy crisis is right wing nut jobs pretending art only just now took a leftist swing some six years ago. It hasn’t.

It’s tricky. Having principles generally means you have values you won’t bend on.

But being absolute about every little thing is how cryptofascists use our values against us to stall and outright revert progress.

We won a lot of cool stuff today, but we’ve been trapped in a frustrating cycle.

In Pokemon, the modern games will program NPC trainers to save their best Pokemon or "ace" for the final stage of the battle.

This is where Mega Evolutions, Z-Moves, Dynamax/Gigantamax and Terastalizing comes in.

However, earlier games just... didn't do that.

So I’m already seeing people misunderstand the reason Pentious was sent to Hell in his backstory of s2e2.

He wasn’t just minding his own business. He knew the identity of a serial killer who would eventually be Jack the Ripper. His inaction resulted in the murder and mutilation of several women.

I’m replaying Pokemon Crystal on the 3DS Virtual Console for absurdly stupid reasons and this game.

This fucking game.

It has the nerve to introduce several items for Pokemon evolution, which isn’t a sin in and of itself.

However, the moronic stupidity of how scarce they are is maddening.

You may not know this, especially since the game I'm about to talk about is nearly 30 years old, but moves like Block and Mean Look in Pokemon had a much more useful... uh... use, I guess, when they first happened onto the scene.

Pokemon used to run away from you and it was super annoying.

I managed to claw my way to ZA’s rank E in competitive and I’ve come to three major observations.

Observation the first:

Contrary to common sense, I’ve found Emboar is the one of the best counters to Greninja as he’s too fragile to withstand a Close Combat.

A funny thing I hear often is Araki “did everything he could” with Hamon.

And like… no? Him transitioning to Stands is an undeniable good call but he could do a LOT with it.

Unless I’m to believe the last real innovation, the beetle stomach scarf, was the scraping of the bottom of the barrel?

Another interesting evolution between Pokemon games is the streamlining and subsequent redundancy of the Nurse Joy character along with the Pokemon Center as a whole.

Back in the day, the healing machine was behind the counter and seemed to require at least some degree of finesse.

I think its a little funny that when Legends Arceus came out, the concession about Hisui was the events of this game happened so long ago that much of it has been outright lost to history and that includes new Pokemon and forms.

But now both SV and ZA are running contrary to that and I love it.
