    @MisterBoring said in FAT BEAR WEEK 2025:

    Chunk is the winner. Also, I found out he’s got a broken jaw, so the injured contender story probably pushed a lot of votes his way.

    “His face looks sad and that makes me sad” versus “his belly is very round and that makes me happy” definitely came into play in a few of my votes for Chunk. The broken jaw is going to be a permanent issue for him, so I hope he continues to have several more years of being a very fat bear despite it.

    (I also need to see what Regiments of Renown they let us have as I would buy Skarbrand if I can chuck him into a list LOL)

    They updated the Regiments of Renown document the same day the army box came out and the answer to that is sadly zero.

    The army isn’t officially released yet, not until you can buy the battletome individually so I suspect they will update that document again in a month or so.

    Arguable, but the Teshigahara film Woman in the Dunes is based on The Castle by Franz Kafka, specifically the first part and the reaction by the villages. Also, please watch Woman in the Dunes, it is beautiful.

    @Hobbie said in Real Life Struggles/Support/Vent:

    Couple things today.

    Firstly, to everyone I RPed with before getting on the ADHD meds (which is everyone I’ve ever RPed with), holy crap I am sorry you had to deal with someone so horrifically erratic and scatterbrained. I’m currently on the fifth and thank god final day of my psychiatrist-advised no-medication break so the meds don’t lose efficacy and it’s absolute torture for me, the wife, the kids, the wife, the dog, and especially me, and definitely the wife. I understand now why the psychologist who did my initial assessment said “if you weren’t a genius, you’d be completely crippled”. I thought he was joking!

    Secondly, perhaps more pressing because the above nonsense ends tomorrow, the cat situation.

    You know the one.

    230f1f24-b7fd-42cb-960d-3390013b2469-image.png

    This is the mother of next door’s litter of cats and has always loved my family. I found her sitting in the regional park across the road from my house. She’s always been very friendly and came hopping over the road when I made a single pspsps. We had lots of head and chin rubs, plenty of belly showing, and we even played with a twig in the grass. She’s a wonderful and affectionate little cat.

    Once again:

    Unsure if desexed/registered/microchipped. Gonna assume finally desexed because she’s not pregnant. No collar (illegal in my local council). Roaming in a national park (extremely fucking illegal in my local council).

    This happened at 11:30PM.

    11:30PM.

    Unfortunately, limited by a keyboard as I am, I can’t unleash my frothing annoyance appropriately at what I’ve dealt with. It’s the middle of the night and this friendly little girl is at the mercy of snakes, spiders, kangaroos, emus, and especially snakes all alone. Next door’s lights were on so maybe they took her back inside later I don’t fucking know!

    I cannot stress enough how many dangerous snakes we get here. It’s so bad that last time I played Pokemon GO it kept spawning Ekans and I’m like “this tracks”.

    I’m starting to think this is no longer a question of legality. Seeing a roaming cat at 11:30PM with at least two laws broken, I definitely have moral grounds to catch her (and maybe her kids) and maybe I’ve got legal grounds as well. At what point is it animal neglect? I don’t know but emotion keeps winning out over logic and I’m going crazy every time I see this colony-in-the-making.

    Look, as someone who has inadvertently become (one of) my neighborhood’s resident crazy cat ladies who just ends up bringing in whatever little flea-bitten, three-legged, one-eyed, mangy trash goblin who happens to rub up on my ankles…

    I strongly advocate for calling whatever your country’s version of animal humane officers are because fuck your neighbors in their stupid fucking faces.

    Not at all related to @dvoraen’s work, but here’s my latest. I have a hard time resisting t-shirts and this one was $3.80 on Temu, and is awesome.

    @tsar said in Anime recs?:

    Multiple recs for Mob Psycho, so I’ll put that on my list too! After Apothecary Diaries and I guess my kid isn’t watching Demon Slayer with me and will instead re-watch Solo Leveling multiple times, lol.

    Solo Leveling? Do we have someone else who is deviant enough to enjoy Isekai? Well, if you are, I have some recommendations that I will work on and post later.

    As for Apothecary Diaries one of the questionable things in the show and I forgot to include it in the “cons” is that Jinshi (the eunuch) invades Maomao’s personal space and teases her in ways that require consent without getting said consent. While it is thematic for the setting for him to not need consent from a servant, I take slight issue with the fact that he wears her down and it leads to romance (the good ol’ just keep flirting and teasing her until she relents and falls in love with you trope) rather than him dying by poisoning from Maomao. I try to interpret it as Maomao subconsciously liking him but consciously not realizing it, as it is established that she has trouble understanding her own emotions, so his actions are somewhat welcome.

    @ProperPenguin said in Anime recs?:

    I tried to get into Frieren a few times but somehow it just didn’t click for me.

    My take on Frieren is ‘cute, but so predictable I’m getting bored’
    I do not fault people for liking it! I don’t necessarily DISLIKE it, but I can also only watch a couple episodes at a time.

    (Tho most of the time if I feel like watching Frieren I end up watching Delicious in Dungeon instead.)

    Yeah, it’s a cozy anime. It’s slice of life, a touch of romance, and a little bit of shonen action. And the shonen action is of the OP MC Isekai power fantasy variety, because Frieren was a member of the party that slayed the demon king, so of course she is going to crush almost anything like a steamroller does an ant. But it’s fun to watch the crushination.

    Sad to say there’s another one of these currently running for another member of the MU* community. If you’ve been on Ares games over the last few years, there’s a chance you know Cameron. And hey, if you won’t do it for him, do it for the cats. 🐈

    I didn’t even realize Crunchyroll did an Anime Awards, but it also dawns on me that any Award ‘show’ presented by an anime company is probably going to be heavily biased.

    Is there an Awards show for Anime independent of the companies that produce it somewhere else?

    Solo Leveling definitely doesn’t stack up to a lot of those other shows ‘nominated’, but I won’t deny that I enjoyed watching it. Personally, out of those options, I enjoyed Dan Da Dan and Kaiju No. 8 the most. Can’t comment on Apothecary Diaries because it’s honestly not my thing, and I’m not done with Frieren yet, so I’m still deciding on that one.

    honestly, the only reason I didn’t love it is because there was enough material there for at least one more season, if not two, without any real concern about filler. every “ONE YEAR LATER” smash cut made me wince and groan.

    … how the killer will handle this one in the remake of Se7en, which will have to be called Ei8ht.

    Obvs the exact same, just Empathy is the Goop-filled Gwen so her death is a two-fer.
