What's New....?

What, no cock :chicken: in that movie? Sad.

Ah yeah that’s the Lupin the 3rd movie right? I really want to see that sometime since I’ve heard its a classic and really well animated overall.
Its kind of the thing that inspired Dreamworks’ The Bad Guys last year which I greatly enjoyed for its snappy animation

Yep! I personally adore the soundtrack, it’s really varied and dynamic, following the action nicely and giving the quieter moments some lovely ambience. The animation is really well done too.

Alas, no cock :chicken:. The high levels of testicular screen time are a result of tanuki being associated with fertility in Japanese folklore, but the writers were clearly on board with the funny side of things: the possibilities are endless with shapeshifting nuts, as you’ll soon find out watching the film!

As a little sidenote, the catbus in My Neighbour Totoro also has balls, no clue why.

Huh. Uhh… okay…
This is honestly really intriguing to me. Ghibli films are all kind of kid-friendly (well, most) so that’s… an interesting thing to play around with… :thinking:

I heard if you play around with it to much you will go blind…

I started a Hitman marathon and probably the last one until some years to come. It is better this way so next time I pick them up those childhood memories will kick back better like they do now.
Right now I am playing Blood Money while drinking a Monster energy drink. Last time I had a Monster was a lot of years ago.
The first time I played Blood Money I remember I was 14 years old. In that time I went to work as a dish washer at a restaurant where my mom was employed. With my first salary I bought a Playstation 2 with Hitman Blood Money.
I remember I played it on a very small tv and that I was so happy. Today I have a PS5, a Razer laptop, a gaming chair and somehow I feel empty inside while trying to get back those feelings of the past.
I tried before during the year a marathon like this but somehow I left the games halfway and told myself I will continue the next day. This time is different.
Miss a lot the old days

Oh jeez :joy:

Ok, that one was unintentional on my part

What I’ve learned is that modern hardware won’t bring back those feelings for me which is why I usually now play on hardware a specific game is designed for. This is mainly for Nintendo games, but nothing will beat playing a DS game on a DS Lite or DSI cause emulators aren’t perfect and 3DS’s don’t have great clarity despite being BC.

This past summer I bought a Xbox 360 from a Goodwill and got it for a cheap price and it’s been nothing but a blast playing games that aren’t even on the BC List for Xbox.

Well that explains why many of my schoolmates are starting to wear glasses.

Not serious enough for the real issues thread, but you know what really grinds my gears?

Washroom stalls that don’t have a coat/purse hanger in them. Especially in cold weather ports, for example the C concourse at Newark’s Liberty International. It’s fucking miserable cold half the year. Where are the god damn coat hangers???

:rage:

Public bathrooms are the worst.

No, the people that trash the public bathroom are the worst.

Eh, it’s not just people trashing them. I’ve seen people who are in charge of maintaining bathrooms at my job hide in stalls for an entire 8 hour shift while soap pumps are empty or they don’t restock toilet paper.

Someone pissing on seat and not cleaning up after themselves is one thing, but someone not replenishing basic amenities is another.

Wait, you seat in public stalls? Crap they’re too unhygienic.

It’s one of the reasons why I carry a backpack with disinfectant wipes. I don’t expect people in charge of cleaning bathrooms especially men’s rest rooms to care simply cause people exist that don’t have the decency to flush let alone wipe a seat.

Oh yeah, fuck them too.

The more I am in a job that has me communicating with people more than my soul needs to I’m realising how dumb society actually is.

Wouldn’t say dumb, a lot of people that I’ve seen who are managing the state of bathrooms are teenagers where it’s their first job. It’s more so out of the lack of work ethic and them just want what they think is an easy paycheck.

One of my favorite fanfiction authors reported in this weekend that she suffered a stroke two months ago and has been in the hospital, where they discovered she has cancer again (she survived a previous removal many years ago), and is also suffering some aphasia from the stroke. While she hasn’t written anything in a while, these developments obviously mean any future writing she might do will be affected, and will be far off in the future if she ever even writes again. And just from a human angle, she’s had a pretty crappy life already, so this turn of events is just tragic, and I’m hoping she makes a full and swift recovery even if she can’t write anymore.

Damn, best of luck to them. I’m sure she’ll find a way to make it through and post a new chapter at the most random of times… they always do.

I fly for a living and we have some very long days (16 hours sometimes), so public washrooms are unavoidable.

Thankfully most janitor jobs at US airports are good union jobs so the bathrooms are usually in decent shape.
