Oh, is it? I thought this was Secret Life of Pets.

This frame is actually taken from an Illumination film, not Disney.

Why is it always Argentina?

And yet, many people don’t. That’s the issue.

Neither. It’s a reference to a creator I used to watch in high school having some truly wild takes now.

It was Moviebob. After leaving the Escapist he’s become… let’s use the word “unpleasant”.

Good luck with that. YouTube content moderation is notoriously automated.

I hope it wasn’t a huge amount of money riding on that bet. I don’t know who that is.

Miiverse did this quirky thing where every possible response was “yeah” but with different punctuation. So your expanded options were “Yeah?” “Yeah!” and “Yeah…”

Don’t you fucking lie to me.

Here in Illinois it’s illegal to discourage you from joining a union, so thankfully I never had to put up with that bullshit. Just another reason I live in the best state in the country.

It’s the other way around. GameFreak redesigns the Pokedex each generation to resemble contemporary hardware. Gens 1 through 4 looked like the handheld you were playing on, 5 onwards look like a smartphone, and in Let’s Go only it looks like a laptop.

There was a bit in a hbomberguy video where he went on a tangent about The Room and speculated that it might be semi-autobiographical. That Tommy Wiseau must have experienced a breakup that at least on his end felt like this. Lisa’s actions in the film are so illogical that the only way they make sense is if you assume that the director has bad experiences with women and made a movie instead of just going to therapy or something.

Plagiarism machines have no life experiences, so they can’t make something like The Room.

You see, in a cult there’s a guy at the top who knows it’s all bullshit. In a religion that guy died ages ago and scholars aren’t sure if he existed to begin with.

Crobat, my beloved. Where hast my 6 foot, 4 winged bat gone? What forces of evil have possessed GameFreak to keep me from you? Can they not see the bonds of friendship that keep me coming back to you? Dost they not know thou art perfect? Your soft purple fur, your unique typing, your winning personality? Fear not, my love. For I know that one day, you and I will be reunited! I will once again fly on your back to the Pokémon league, whereupon I will thrash the Elite Four with your STAB Cross Poison! Till then, my lavender cutie, rest your mighty wings, sweet cherub. Our time will come again.

I have a soft spot for 3 cause it was the first one I played on my mom’s computer. 4 had some neat world building, but i can’t remember much of the second half.

These people talk like they’re somewhere between JRPG villains and Hideo Kojima. My eyes glazed over a few times trying to parse this pseudophilosophical nonsense. If this had come from someone with far less power, I’d have dismissed it as the ramblings of a crazy person.

Incidentally, I happen to be watching Minority Report right now. I hope that’s not going to be the future I live in someday.

Edit: oh neat. This is my 500th comment.

No shit? Machines don’t get tired.

1969, the 1984 porn parody.

I made that up just now, but I’d be surprised if it doesn’t exist somewhere.
