@“Tradegood”#p107796 I'm a big crier also and will cry during supposedly “dumb” action games like Nioh or Stranger of Paradise.
I can't say whether the newer Pokémon anime covers challenging topics like cruelty to pokémon because I haven't seen enough of it, but they definitely aren't phoning it in or anything. That show is top-notch and I would love to follow an episode guide of series peaks to see just what it's still doing well.

“I don’t get it, why were they puppets?
How do people become like this? I was at the Royal in Toronto once for a screening of *Nova Seed*—absolutely incredible to look at furry!Mad Max/Heavy Metal feature wholly hand-animated by one guy—and when it was over the couple behind us didn't like it and sounded confused that the theatre would even show it. Why would someone go into a movie knowing ahead of time it wasn't live action with such a closed mind? It made me so upset!
Posting this at 4am because I‘ve spontaneously remembered in the night that as a kid, between roughly ages 5 and 9, every day my sister and I would have breakfast with one of my dad’s then colleagues who, I think was in his early 50s at the time, that he would carpool with. I‘ve described this experience to people more recently as if it was totally normal but apparently it wasn’t, what gives? What isn't normal about a chibi LeFish having his morning Coco Pops whilst sat next to a completely unrelated guy in his 50s and wearing his Big Businessman clothes? Every day.
I’ve gotten into the habit of playing Toreba because I love claw games but also I have like no use for anything I win. My small apartment has a small accumulation of plush toys and stuff that I don’t need but also am weirdly protective of because I won them.
So at one point I got the lyrics for TLC‘s “Creep” and Salt-N-Pepa’s “shoop” confused to where in my head it became “so I shoop - yeahhhhh - just keep it in the down low”
And then I got these rechargeable batteries called eneloop. So now when I see them in any help but sing "eneloop - yeahhhh" which makes no sense. Because it's not even the song!! But it's in there now! So that's what's going on with me.
@“connrrr”#p107788 I also have a very similar tiny charmander with no flame. although mine isn‘t a keychain. don’t know if it‘s a bootleg though. i’ve had it since i have memory and it still has some stains of baby me playing with it in play-doh or something.
Mrs. Chopemon and I do Wordle every night before bed. I realised recently that every time we get the answer in three or fewer goes, I do the “Bwa bwa bwa bwahh” noise that @Jaffe does when there is a banger of an answer or joke on the Insert Credit podcast. Not a conscious affectation, just pure brain poisoning by the show.
Oh wow... I have this Sonic Keychain that I've had since middle school, around the time sonic adventure came out in the states. I found it in a puddle in the freezing cold while standing around with my friends. I remember shouting in surprise and just reaching down through the ice to nab it. I never came across a lot of sonic merch back then so seeing somehting like this just lying around was quite a shock.
I told myself I'd put it on the keychain of my first set of car keys and that's exactly what I did. After a while the rubber started to get gross and yellow so I retired it and stashed it away in a small lockbox with other little trinkets I don't have the heart to throw away.
Just now, at 4AM, the gate to the condo behind me creaked open and a man burst out in a full sprint, carrying a small bag, across the road and down the street. It has been otherwise silent besides the occasional passing vehicle for the past few hours.
This idiosyncratic moment at the precise hour of the morning immediately calls to mind waiting for this guy in Majora’s Mask:
@“milo”#p111043 I love this. I have a lot of similar experiences, like once I was swimming at Blue Spring, florida, and saw a little red speck on the riverbed, so I swam down about 8 feet and grabbed it. It turned out to be a figure of Hinotamatchi. Bandai always makes great figures of tamagotchi, digimon, etc. Unable to find images of any official hinotamatchi merchandise on google image search.
I wear a necklace with a clasp on it that has a metal ring with my name,.my wife‘s name and my dog’s name on it. About 2 weeks ago, I noticed the necklace lying on my hall floor and the metal ring was nowhere to be found. We searched the house and retraced our steps over the field where we always walk our dog a couple of times a day and couldn‘t find it. It isn’t expensive but it was sentimental.
This morning, two weeks later, my dog stops on this field and does one of her full body shakes. I saw her name tag fall off her collar so I went and picked it up. Lying next to it, trodden into the soil was my necklace ring. We've walked this field lord knows how many times since I lost it and haven't been able to find it. By chance today, my dog loses her collar tag in the exact same place and I find it again. It's a not-Christmas miracle.
So at my current house sitting"/security job, I have a small lot to myself, which has a corner with tall grass & weeds, leaf piles from the nearby tree, trash, and kitty droppings. My first thought it ways I can improve the land, compost, etc.
Knowing my father, who is a master of permaculture, earthworks, land management, life etc. would have ideas, input, overexplanations as he always does, we discussed the land over the phone and I sent pics.
Yesterday, my father paid me a surprise visit at my current extended job. I was already anticipating that once he saw the land he'd start making comments on things to do to improve the space. When he arrived yesterday, the corner of the lot was flooded with ankle deep water from just one day of rain.
When my home was surrounded by water and I had to open the gate
When it wasn’t surrounded by water and I had to open the gate:
Two years ago, I paid $550 for a bougeRV stupid freezer/fridge combo and have *never used it*. It’s just a $550 *table*. I don’t have any use for a fridge…. Let alone the *largest size on the market*… been trying to sell it, no takers.
It’s stupid because the exhaust shoots heat out, so if it’s so hot I want a cold one, why would I wanna heat my environment? Maybe now that I’m on private property, I will leave it outdoors, and use it to store cold water for the people who work here…..??

Two years and I haven’t used this thing…. Why did I even buy a fridge… it’s so big…
I was just looking at how long it‘d take to drive to two different places and realized something about myself. One was 52 minutes and the other was an hour and 5 minutes. I thought to myself "that’s basically the same." but if it were 45 minutes and an hour id think there was a significant difference there, even though the time gap is similar. I guess what I learned is for me, anything within 10 minutes of an hour is basically the same in my brain.
@“exodus”#p123653 I had a sort of similar thing looking at train routes earlier today.
I can get to where I need to be tomorrow in 56 minutes, if I take the _dreaded_ Tokaido Line (aka surly salaryman hell), or I can get to where I need to be in 67 minutes, if I take a much more chill and somewhat indirect line.
I just can't imagine being a person that would decide they need those extra eleven minutes so badly that they're willing to be on a hell train, but that seems to be what most people choose to do! That's how it becomes the hell train!
