Xariphon,

Yotsuba&! might be the most precious thing I've ever seen. Anime-wise, I think "Sweetness and Lightning" comes closest.

Xariphon,

Teleportation, hands down.

Xariphon,

... Did anybody else look at the thumbnail and see Eri from BNHA?

Xariphon,

I made this last year and it came out with a texture my wife described as baby food. It was awful. Not sure what I did wrong.

Xariphon,

You could really take your pick of Vampire the Masquerade baddies.

Ur-Shulgi, for instance, who looks like a charred corpse, has led multiple genocides, is directly referred to as "violence incarnate," and doesn't seem to have a goal beyond exterminating everything he considers unclean. Depending on who you ask, that may very well be damn near everything, period.

Or Sascha Vykos, who... to call them a torturer is like saying Michelangelo kinda knew how to paint. Vykos is a monster in every sense of the word, and cruelty is both method and goal in a lot of their schemes.

Xariphon,

Or the guy from Voyager who erased multiple species from ever having existed in a misguided attempt to resurrect his family.

Xariphon,

... Anyone else first remember this actor as Samson from Carnivale?

Xariphon,

That episode was hilarious though.

Xariphon,

This is me too.

Xariphon,

Also on the nice list was schnoodle and his random poetry. Always made my day a little more cheerful.

Xariphon,

LOLCats?

I'm thinking you have to go way back, something like lolcats, advice duck, ceiling cat, something where if you remove it from the equation meme culture just straight up does not develop, or does not develop the same way or at the same time.

Xariphon,

Yes. Kes was artificially put into it and made a point of saying it happens only once.

As to them having a tendency to single births, I don't remember. There do seem to be few enough of them to indicate a population in decline, but...

If each couple can only have one child ever, their population would halve every generation, wouldn't it? That's... Isn't that wildly unsustainable, biologically?

I suppose they could represent an evolutionary dead-end...

Xariphon,

The thought just occurred to me: they talk about it being a big deal that the Ocampa only live nine years and... We assume they mean nine Earth years. But they never actually establish how long an Ocampan year is. If they have an orbital period similar to, say, Saturn, she could easily outlive Tuvok while lamenting that she "only" gets nine years.

Xariphon,

I feel like the movie kind of missed the point of the book.

Xariphon,

... I'm trying to remember what my gripe was. It's not anarchist enough? Too much vendetta not enough revolution? Book V had a vision for the future, Movie V only had revenge?

Fuck me guess it's time to reread and rewatch and remind myself why I thought that.

Xariphon,

Weapon testing accident.

Xariphon,

I bet the AI version looked more coherent, though...

Xariphon, (edited )

I got 19. Maybe I'm the one remembering wrong.

Edit : first non italicized nor parenthetical link. Going through pronunciation notes gets you nowhere.

Xariphon,

The first non-italicized link, specifically.

And if I remember correctly the longest one found so far is "Gandalf (disambiguation)" at 14 steps.

Xariphon,

SMO?

HOI?

wtf?

Xariphon,

ty

Xariphon,

My eyes saw "spreading cheese" and for a moment there i was really confused.

Xariphon,

They also suck on puffer fish to get high, and pass them around so the whole pod of dolphins can be tripping balls together.

Xariphon,

My wife and I spotted your username and we have to wonder: are you aware of the character named Nougat from the game "I Was a Teenage Exocolonist"?

She is adorable, and if you are not familiar you should look at some of her scenes. Your day will be cuter.

Xariphon,

Funny thing: Data's cat was played by a different cat in every or almost every appearance. None of them looked remotely alike.

Thus, my fan theory is that in the course of his career Data actually had a series of cats, all of them named Spot.
