The Terror that Flaps in the Night is back! I just wish his series did...

Darkwing Duck returns as the Mayor of St. Canard, a retro-fied Zan Owlson from the Ducktales Reboot, is awarding Darkwing Duck with a statue. But when everyone took out their cell phones to get a good shot of the unveiling, they all turned into mind controlled slaves. And who is behind this Callous Capture Of Cell Phone Consumers? It’s Megavolt!

So Darkwing and Launchpad chases him as Gosalyn and Honker decide to try their own thing. Both groups realized that the Cell Phones are responsible for this. With Gosalyn wanting to stop this so Darkwing can give her a Cell Phone of her own (since he wouldn’t allow it) and Darkwing glad that he never gave her one. Also being upset with Launchpad because it meant he wasn’t taking any pictures.

Gosalyn’s plan is to create a big power surge to lure Megavolt to them. And she does so with a Rock Opera of the Darkwing Duck theme. But the thing about Mind Controlled Slaves is you can use them to do the dirty work. And Megavolt has them tied up as Darkwing arrives. He escapes as Darkwing prevents a large current heading towards them, by letting himself get shocked instead. 

It’s thanks to that St. Canard got their power back, everyone being freed, and Darkwing confirming he’s not getting Gosalyn a Cell Phone. Overall, a pretty good beginning. There are two more issues after this beginning a storyline where Darkwing quits and tries to give Gosalyn a normal life. Seeing the episode about this as well as the previous comic series, I expect him to get back to Darkwing pretty soon. I do hope this series continues longer than the last one.

my brother just called me late at night, barely able to get two words out because he was laughing so hard. Finally, through the wheezing, he told me “go google the new Gollum game. Please”

So I did. And now I just spent half an hour on the phone nearly dying. We just kept sending eachother pictures of Gollum from the game and LOSING IT all over again. I haven’t laughed this hard in YEARS.

people who don't study history will simply never understand the joy of reading historian beef. there's nothing like it

#when they're reviewing each other's work and they're just SHITTING ON IT????? wonderful #when you can tell the historian HATES whichever historical figure(s) they're writing about? incredible #one thing we must remember is that historians are just academic gossipers xx #what is JSTOR for if not to read the DRAMA #reading an absolutely SCATCHING rebuttal of an article on New England migration and honestly??? having a wonderful time #sometimes the history student just jumps out #history

disco elysium will literally joke about how communists love complaining about other communists, lightly make fun of some communists (who are themselves making fun of other communists for not being the right kind of communist), and people will be like Oh they made fun of communists. i guess disco elysium was centrist all along

The Boy and the Heron How Do You Live? (2023) dir. Hayao Miyazaki

#my real thoughts on the film are still Cooking but i felt compelled to make this. #also i might fuck around and retag my posts about it with the original title after all bc let's face it: it's just better #the boy and the heron #how do you live? #studio ghibli #hayao miyazaki #my edits #highly recommend david ehrlich's review. i don't always agree w/his critiques but he Gets miyazaki in a way that many other critics don't

sometimes I think about that guy on amazon who reviewed pride and prejudice and did an entire angry, weirdly math focused rant about how awful darcy is and then ends it all with "I could carve a better man out of a banana"

#the funny thing about the review is that hes so right about most of his points but like #that's why the book is good BECAUSE darcy is super flawed and so is elisabeth and everyone else #also his criticism of how basically nothing happens in the book except them all going to each others houses #austen literally says that's love love is going to someone's home and love is looking across the dinner table at you and love is walking #love isn't grand gestures love is saying i love you in a fucking field bro #anyways i love pride and prejudice in postmodern context because it's absolutely hilarious and deeply relevant #pride and prejudice #jane austen

The return of the Mighty Morphing Era, again.

Thanks to Billy trying to bring Zordon back, Rita Repulsa is back and mechanical. After a battle, she killed the Yellow Ranger known as Trini, who risked her life saving Billy. A year later, Rita returns and kidnaps Tommy, Jason and Kimberly as well as others to power up a machine. Can our classic Rangers of three eras defeat Rita and her plan for domination? 

Yeah, I'm being super vague with this one because off the bat, if you are a Mighty Morphin Era Power Rangers fan, I would recommend watching this. It's the first time in a long time (as far as I'm aware) that the actors behind Billy, Zack, Rocky, and Kat took up those roles once more. This is especially good for David Yost who had a troubling history behind the scenes with the series. So his return is reclaiming his rightful position among the Power Ranger Legends.

Watching it, it felt like watching an old episode only a little more mature. Like death is on the menu and Rita wants to kill. But it isn't like that dark and gritty way of being more mature, it's more about the subjects they're focusing on as it deals with things like survivors guilt, feeling responsible for the death, a grieving daughter and a caretaker trying to keep them safe. Things they never explored in the Morphin Era, but did later seasons. 

It is still pretty fun as there are a ton of references to the series. Billy's Flying car, Zack doing Hip-Hop-Kido, Adam and Aisha making cameo appearances but not being there since they're in space. And it is pretty cool to see the Putties being shattered into blocks when destroyed. You only got to see that with Zed's versions and the effect here is better. They even have 3D Zords now, which is better than the original Movie's 3D.

Overall, I enjoyed this. It felt like a tribute to Trini since she'll be the only Ranger to not return to the series among the originals (Kimberly showed up in the Reboot Movie) but showed how important she was to them. And hopefully her legacy continues with the next generation of Yellow Rangers to come.

Nintendo is not your friend-o

emulation is preservation

also be quiet about your emulators and roms, I feel like yuzu doing as much as they did in the public facing sphere is at least partially to blame for it getting taken down, regardless of how you feel about the patreon stuff and the developers. The Less Nintendo knows, the better it is for everyone else.

#Nintendo #Emulation #I'm grabbing copies of the emulators that I like while I still can because this is BAD precedent for all the others in the fleet #if they can get yuzu and citra they probably won't stop at yuzu and citra #and it's not that forking won't happen but people will have to be a lot quieter about it now #still bonkers to say that a switch emulator is harming wii sales in this year of 2024 #also with ryujinx does anyone have any good reviews on if it's as good as yuzu or no?

Ngl I’m v disappointed with the ea-Nasir tumblr bracelet I got today. why? Well for starters I thought it would be somewhat adjustable, like maybe the metal would bend a bit so ya know it could stay on your wrist… nope one size fits all unfortunately. Oh well these things happen when you have small wrists it’s fine. What really is bugging me is that the actual cuneiform is printed onto the metal instead of engraved, which would normally be fine but I’ve only had it for a few hours and it already looks like the ink is trying to wipe off and is faded af. 3/10 would not recommend for anything other than sitting on a knick knack shelf

TLDR: don’t buy the ea-nasir tumblr shop bracelets they’re cheap af

#tumblr #staff #tumblr shop #ea nasir #copper #tumblr merch #personal #review #I’m super bummed actually because I was really excited for this #like I almost bought the english and cuneiform versions #now I’m really glad I didn’t #just thought I’d warn others who might be thinking of spending 20 bucks on this thing #emporium #product review

you want a new kind of guy, fine, i raise you: the lady i was briefly roommates with in college who once smoked a blunt at a party and then spent an hour confessing earnestly to me that she genuinely preferred reading detailed episode recaps over actually watching the tv show in question

#she sounded so remorseful & i just stood staring like an anthropologist watching their phd thesis spontaneously manifest before their eyes #apparently she would watch the pilot episode to get a feel for the characters #and then just read a bunch of recaps & episode reviews instead of watching future episodes. what fresh steaming hell #this conversation took place like a year and a half after we were roommates btw. i had seen her maybe twice in that time period #i thought she was a standard frat girl but then 18 months later she appears in the wild grass to reveal unhinged character background to me #and i'm just standing there nodding feeling like i missed a weird opportunity i did not want or ask for #honestly thought i was the weirdest person in that apartment situation but now i'm wondering what our other 2 roommates were hiding #not my strangest college experience at ALL but like. definitely top 20 #this wasn't the same person as Aquarium Girl btw but oddly enough they were roommates actually #(not at the same time that Recaps Lady and i were roommates but at different intervals idk) #anyway i probably should have interviewed at more than one apartment before taking over a sublease but summer sess is a weird time u know #oh and this happened in Hong Kong btw

BETTER CALL SAUL!

#this was mostly a test run on procreate dream! #its pretty good but it has a LOT of room for improvement #which i know the developers have been working on since the app is still technically in beta! #but hey i did this in like 3 weeks while working a full time job and also working on other art so #its pretty damn powerful software #good shit if you use procreate already!! #literally the biggest flaws rn are a lack of selection tool an undo/redo button and #and the app itself has a tendency to crash or slow down if theres “too much” going on #like i had to delete all but one of the preloaded animations just so the app would run smoother while i worked #so its still very clearly in its early phase but its good and im excited to see what the developers will do with it #ok review over #better call saul #saul goodman #bcs #jimmy mcgill #breaking bad #animation #brba #video #procreate dreams
