I hope that we gradually keep slotting increasingly tenuous stuff in until the lower end of the list is like "every episode of Kill la Kill" or "the Bitch Planet comic book series."

I feel like the surprisingly low number of voters maybe speaks more volumes than intended. Where was this conducted?

So my camera's dead right now, but last night I got me a shiny Cottonee, which I level-capped and then evolved into Whimsicott. Then today I decided I'd go for a Chandelure. I nailed down the nature and egg moves and then put it in the daycare to nail down its stats. The first egg was a shiny with 18/31/31/31/31/31. I have no idea what to do now.

You come to a fork in the road guarded by two Six Mix-A-Lots. One likes big butts and cannot lie, the other likes big butts and cannot tell the truth.

Guy Fieri looks like a Fire-type Pokémon Gym Leader.

I think I need to play streaming Pikmin 2 multiplayer with the Thumbs now.

To be fair I still think that everything he's worked on has been goddamn brilliant, I just have some criticisms.

Character designer for nearly every DC cartoon between Batman: The Animated Series and Justice League. Does a lot of very clean, stylized designs at the expense of giving everyone one of three body types: Guy, Big Guy, Skinny Guy, and Girl. And they all have the same hilariously straightlaced default standing pose.

"A Shitload of Blums" is the Clint Eastwood/Jeff Goldblum buddy comedy that was never meant to be.

Thoughts on Age of Ultron. Harley Quinn is a medical professional with a PHD in criminal psychology.

All from last night:

On the other hand, Dan suggested "Hideo Kojima's Waluigi World" on the latest Bombcast and now I don't think I can rest until I get to hear a David Hayter-voiced Waluigi babble on a bout "nanomushrooms."

Saltybet is an audience betting on fights between two bots playing as random fanmade MUGEN characters from a pool of something like 1400. Sometimes characters are legit attempts to recreate a specific fighting game character, sometimes they're a rip of a Popeye sprite that does thousands of points of damage and has a hitbox half the size of their opponent. It's amazing.

Without getting into too much detail, I finally got a prescription for something I've needed and been trying to get forever, which is nice. Unfortunately it's not covered by NB medicare, so I had to pay ninety dollars for a three-month supply. Oof. I still haven't been able to find a job. I know I've been asking a lot lately, but any financial help anyone can offer is appreciated.

Captain Boomerang having a taped-up boot is a nice touch, because of course Captain Boomerang would rather duct tape a boot back togehter than buy a new one. The rest can fuck right off.

On the subject of horror, The Wolf Man (1941) might be worth an offhand glance solely because Lon Cheney Jr.'s character, Larry Talbot, is intended to be a friendly everyman that nowadays comes across as the skeeziest, rape culture-iest douchebag. He spends the entire movie spying or hitting on some poor girl that displays every sign of not being interested, but it's all played as being charming.

I see you're playing the classic SNES game Sonic the Hedgehog. (amazing decals though)

Aliens would probably make for valuable contrast, because James Cameron felt that the only way audiences would relate to his female protagonist and female monster being strong, capable characters was by making both of them into mother figures doing it all ~for the children~ (and then beating you over the head with it in the director's cut). Get away from her, you bitch indeed!

So an update to this: I never found a place to live in Halifax that would let me move in without a job, and I never found a job in Halifax that would give me an interview if I didn't live there. I've been applying for places in Moncton, but I'm not qualified for anything: I'm not bilingual, I don't have a car, I can't lift 50 pounds, etc. I've applied for everything that I do qualify for, but haven't even gotten a single callback. On top of that, I didn't get even a single commission last month. I'm getting whatever I think I can from the government, but right now, I can't even make rent. If anyone wants to commission me, or just wants to help, it would be greatly appreciated. Also: if you've commissioned me and haven't received anything, let me know. I lost track of my commissions while looking for work, so I have no idea if I've missed anyone. I got quite a few people who made requests but then never paid me, I put a bunch of digital things on the backburner because my computer's slowly dying and just can't handle digital artwork anymore. I don't know what to do for those instances. I can try to refund you if I have enough money on-hand, or just try to get to your request at a later date if you don't mind me waiting until I can afford to get new PC parts.

I bred a couple of these babies; kept the best one for myself and traded the other on the GTS for a Victini. I have now reached the point where the only Pokémon I don't have are ones that aren't tradeable through the GTS, so I'm gonna let you guys know that I'm willing to breed pretty much any perfect non-shiny or near-perfect shiny Pokémon in exchange for Mew, Manaphy, Shaymin, Arceus, or Genesect. Make me an offer. I draw the line at Vespiquen. I also logged into the Pokémon Global Link for pretty much the first time ever as of Gen VI, because I wanted a Custap Berry and realized that the only way to get one is to play an insipid minigame on the site. Man, it's better than it was in Gen V, but the PGL is still terrible. I'm starting to get into building weird gimmick Pokémon. I'm breeding a slow, bulky Analytic Magnezone because I realized that Analytic+Zoom Lens gives it 100% accuracy with Zap Cannon, which got buffed up to 120 base damage this gen. It also gets 105% accurate Supersonic. Next I'm gonna try a Harvest Trevenant with Curse, Sunny Day, and a Custap Berry. 5 consecutive turns of guaranteed +8 priority sounds fun.

The 3DS Louvre tour is fascinating for several reasons, but I fucking love that in their electronic museum guide thing, Nintendo apparently still used the bottom screen as a map.

Yeah, Gremlins 2 was a joke suggestion based on the fact that the last time we did this it just turned into Gremlins 2 talk. It's an oddly brilliant film, but it has nothing to do with feminism.

I've been living alone since I was a teenager and sometimes it definitely gets to me. Geez, dude, are you alright? I mean, that doesn't look too bad, but it does look like it hurt.

Gremlins 2

I've never been much for stickers/decals. Personally I'd rather stencil some vinyl dye onto the faceplate or something.
