While I appreciate most Metroid games having a tonal consistency, I do prefer the "55% Bram Stoker's Dracula/ 45% Monster Mash" mix that Castlevania brings to the table.
I don't care about spoilers. If I'm interested in something, I want to be spoiled i.e. learn things about it. I don't give a rat's ass about experiencing it for the first time without knowing anything going in. Fuck that. I don't particularly value being surprised. If anything, I am anti-surprise. I enjoy exploring and learning and avoiding surprises.
It's also incredibly annoying to try to talk about media while avoiding spoilers -- you literally have to repress yourself ffs.

@kura WebAssembly is not malware - it can be used to write very good malware, much better than JS.

Steven Universe hate fandom and anime hate fandom shaking hands over never shutting the fuck up about the media they are obsessed with
racist flags
The thing is, people'll be like, "I don't condone vandalism," when they're talking about a confederate statue or this dipshit's house getting spraypaint on it.
They'll tell you graffiti is ugly and encourages crime and shit, while some ugly-ass house decorated with racist symbols is just hanging out there.

attempted transphobia that just ends up being rad as hell instead
well if this isn't A Fucking Mood
Ok, Shrek probably didn't come out in the 90s, but it is spiritually a 90s movie. It has a gross-out animated protag, lots of sarcastic, reference-based humor, and Smash Mouth. It's not only a 90s movie, but the MOST 90s movie next to Tank Girl.
Yesterday I was talking about Mike Myers with a friend.
How the fuck did Mike Myers trick everyone alive in the 1990s into liking Wayne's World, Austin Powers, AND Shrek? Is he magic?

At this protest, my “Less wars more vores” sign has people from across the political spectrum quite angry with me
On the one hand, gentiles should be more educated about Judaism. On the other hand, they always seem to find a way to twist things around and use their knowledge for ill.

the general Jewish view of Jesus Christ is that he's one of a number of so-called messianic figures in roman-occuped Judea. one of the most prolific, sure, and a great teacher of Jewish thought, but there's nothing essentially new in his ministry or his thought that can't be traced to Jews before him.
the general Jewish view of St. Paul is that he's a sonuvabitch who can go to hell, which we don't have, but we might be able to make an exception in his case. he's the reason christianity is Like That.

explicit and overt historical racism in the first world war
TIL of the "Secret Information Concerning Black American Troops", a secret First World War memo from the Americans to the French, where the American government, freaked out that the French were being nice to Black soldiers, demanded the French recreate Jim Crow. The French, to their credit, ignored it and burned all copies of it they found; some hero leaked it to W.E.B. DuBois, who published it in its entirely.
Star wars theory
Anakin's body was almost completely destroyed by lava. As an emergency measure, they took his brain and put it in another body -- a very pale, hairless one, undamaged by lava. But things didn't work out right re: the transplant, so they had to give him a whole life support suit.
Star wars theory
Most droids are actually controlled remotely by people working in big warehouses, like Amazon Mechanical Turk
Star wars theory
Chewbacca is just a normal-looking human type guy. However, his species wears elaborate space suits that make them look 7 feet tall, and hairy. They also have respirators like Darth Vader to allow them to speak through their helmets. That's why they sound a little hoarse.
Star wars theory
Light sabers are...a glamour, basically. Force users just trick people into believing they are real. Laser swords, plasma...no. It's all merely people being convinced that they're seeing and hearing and feeling something that isn't there, while some schmuck in a robe waves a metal handle around.

horrible "celebrity" transphobe and instance block recommendation
yeah, so, Gammon Linespam (glinner) has his own masto instance, much like gab did, called glindr.org
block the shit outta it because he almost certainly is using it so him and his million sockpuppet account holding TERFalumps can spy on the fediverse and harass people.
So yeah, fuck 'im up
(added quotes around celebrity because fuck glinner, he's a piece of filth and doesn't deserve any accolade or measure of recognition)
