Good morning Mastodon

Youtube has been aggressively pushing this weird old commercial at me and I swear I had no idea this existed and it was completely foreign to me... until the music started, and then it felt like someone said a hypnotic Manchurian Candidate codeword to me and 20 years of spy training that lay […]

Happy Fiscal Apocalypse to those who celebrate

Good morning Mastodon (and those on BlueSky caught in the wake of my cross-posting)

Buddy comedy movie, but it's set in a fantasy world and it's about a court jester and a court wizard who hate each other but have to team up to get the real king back after a shapeshifter takes over the throne and they're the only ones who actually notice anything is off

[USPol] It is incredibly rough trying to explain to the two 76 year olds with dementia what's going on with the country whenever they catch a whiff of the news, because they (thankfully) sort of exist in a bubble where they're not aware of the downfall of the US most of the time. My new short […]

Been filling in some holes in my Tokusatsu watch history, kind of in a random order. Recently burnt through all of Ultraman Geed, which I really loved. Now I am chewing through Ultraman X, and I am charmed by it, reminds me a fair bit of Ultraman Z, however there are a LOT of crossovers in this […]

My daughter's asshole cat came into our bedroom and yelled at us for a minute before leaving, then coming back a moment later to do it again. The following conversation happened verbatim over Discord: Me: Your son is in here swearing at us again . Her: What's he saying? Me: He said you're an […]

Anybody ever got one of those things from Sliders actually working? Because I feel more and more like I am in need of an Einstein-Rosen-Podolsky Bridge to a better timeline.

Did the Switch 2 Preorder signups already come and go while I was busy with work?

I am a little disappointed in the Switch 2 offerings, especially the focus on chat and multiplayer stuff, since I don't have friends and tend to game solo at odd hours. Still, that Donkey Kong game looks fun.

Wait... what? Deltarune 3+4

Oh Damn, the Nintendo Switch 2 Online Expansion pack is getting the Gamecube archive

Thinking about jettisoning my #Shudder subscription. They just announced another price hike ($6.99 to $8.99) and honestly the only thing I watch on there is Joe Bob, and his entire vibe has not been hitting of late. First, they they jettisoned John Brennan (the guy that sang and played guitar) […]

If you missed it last night, you can watch Adult Swim's "April Fools" prank, which was a delight. It was a series of theatrically performed classic Rick and Morty scenes lifted from some of the better episodes, and adapted for stage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvNnwHPubiA

Good Morning, Mastodon

Adult Swim is doing their annual April Fools thing and we have a live action stage play reenactment of Pickle Rick

It's here!

Flea market was very nice today, 80 but very windy, I wore shorts and blinded people with my incredibly white legs.

Looking for some #Plex library advice: I want to have both the subtitled and dubbed version of a show, but I want to keep them separate and not have Plex merge them, because they are very... very different shows. Aside from putting them in entirely different libraries or doing some manual […]

I've always thought that the Alien races Barbarue and Valky looked very similar, and also they both look like someone was trying to create their own Shadow The Hedgehog version of the Land of Light (Ultraman) inhabitants. I know since their introduction we've […] [Original post on retro.pizza]

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/common-side-effects-renewed-season-2-1236174892/ I have unabashedly loved Common Side Effects. I know a couple of people who were uncomfortable because it's built on a conspiracy theory supposition, but I would argue that thinking through the "what […]

[Content Warning - Honesty about US Policy] If I am being 100% honest, I sort of hope the US tries to start a war with Canada, it goes catastrophically bad for the US, and the outcome is that Canada annexes the entire midwest. I think Ohio would do well as a Canadian province. I think Chicago […]

Still slowly getting a feel for the sort of nightmare creatures and legally distinct not-a-Pokemon-or-anything-else monsters I want to populate my not-a-Pokemon game with and... I'd like you to meet Furbert

Wait. Wait. There was a FUCKING Skylanders-style Kamen Rider game for the Wii-Fucking-U and I've never seen or heard about this until now. Apparently it was terrible, but that doesn't matter, because I want it anyway. I am now angry.

Still waiting on my weird Japanese bone dinosaur game to arrive, and I needed a break from Zelda, so I picked up Core Keeper and I have to say... it's a lot of fun. It's like... Stardew Valley meets Minecraft? You are dropped into a series of randomly generated […] [Original post on retro.pizza]

Vitally Important Mastodon Tip: You can turn off Boosts at an individual person-by-person level. Go to the person's profile and you should have an option to "Hide Boosts from..." This way, if you've got someone that's an insane maniac that just lays on the […] [Original post on retro.pizza]

I have gotten both the 76 year olds re-hooked on one of my favorite garbage tv shows from the 1980s, Simon & Simon It's in the same cinematic universe as Magnum PI, Murder She Wrote, and Rockford Files, and is about odd couple brothers Rick and AJ Simon, who are […] [Original post on retro.pizza]

Woke up from a bad dream the other day with a deep desire to create this specific meme. What does it mean? No fucking clue. But it's out of my head now, you can deal with it.

Hey, I finally got one!

Woke up from a bad dream the other day with a deep desire to create this specific meme. What does it mean? No fucking clue. But it's out of my head now, you can deal with it.

The titular brothers from Simon & Simon are as stupid as, if not possibly more stupid than, the brothers from Supernatural. If there were werewolves and vampires attacking California in the 1980s, they 1000% would have been taking turns killing themselves to save one another.

Does anybody know of a program that can automatically grab subtitles for video files from a website like OpenSubtitles that does not involve A) Using plugins in Plex [not supported in years], B) Using Docker, or C) Using Linux? There seem to be a ton of programs out there, but all of them […]

Flea market lunch This used to be a very predominantly white, rural, conservative (bordering on libertarian) flea market, but in the last decade it's become increasingly Mexican-ified, and while I do not need a quinceanera dress or a Virgin Mary candle, the music and food have improved 1000%
