I finally got my hands on Final Fantasy 7 Remake via Switch 2 after a decade of wanting to play it since the announcement.

I love the gameplay and the storyline deviations. The graphics are amazing. However I hate the mission system. Side quests were already a thing, why not just keep them as those?

Paramount: we can't actually give Knuckles screentime because it's too expensive so we're making the series in his name about the cop sidekick instead

I just want my vampires to be evil unrepentant monsters again. I'm sick of this whole "tortured brooding himbo" crap they got going on. Damn you, Anne Rice!!!

WHY DID RON HAVE TO TRY OUT FOR THE QUIDDITCH TEAM THEIR 6TH YEAR, WHEN AT NO POINT HAD THERE EVER BEEN ANY MENTION OF PREVIOUS MEMBERS HAVING TO TRY OUT AGAIN/MEMBERS BEING DROPPED FROM NOT BEING THE BEST AT THEIR SECOND TRYOUT?

I thought this was ridiculous! Just thrown in to add drama. In fact, in the 5th book, Angelina said she wanted the entire team to be there for the Keeper tryouts to make sure that person meshed with the existing team members. There was ZERO mention throughout the entire 5 books that they had to do another tryout every year. I thought it was dumb!

Mutual fandom friends got me interested in watching Heated Rivalry, so I decided to and had some fun with it.

The issue is that I unfortunately ended up just not vibing with the main couple because Ilya reminds me far too much of the first few guys I dated that I ended up hating him and by extension I just wanted Shane to leave his emotionally unavailable ass out in the cold. Don't get me wrong I get that it's fiction and other queer dudes are going to enjoy the fantasy of the fuckboi actually retuning the feelings. It just didn't work for me sadly.

Discussing this outside of my mutuals has been a hilariously depressing venture because most of the, presumably, women I've interacted with have instantly accused me of being a homophobic straight woman(neither thanks!) because I can't stand Ilya, and when I have explained that I am in fact a queer dude have gotten neither an apology for their assumptions or a retraction of their accusation, instead I've been getting 2010's queer dude culture explained to me like I wasn't literally there. It's been wild.

I hate all these Inktober-inspired "1 work/prompt for each day of the month" type fic challenges. Publishing a fic a day is a really fun challenge for a writer, but what results tends to be a bunch of same-y stories that barely do anything with the concept/prompt and basically just... end, because the writer doesn't have time to write anything longer. It's worst with whump and H/C fic because those genres work so much better when the suffering is long and protracted rather "a bad thing happens on speedrun." I just really wish writers would put their time and writing challenge discipline into writing a single meaty, complex, ambitious fic rather than 30 "nothing happens" ficlets of blah.

(Nothing against the challenges depicted in the secret in particular, I just liked their prompt layouts.)

TBF, Netflix is betting on One Piece being their new Stranger Things. And hoping Chopper can be their Baby Yoda. So he had to look as cute as possible.

Reading this secret after learning Fox McCloud's cameo is confirmed in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is pretty funny.

I don't watch this, but it sounds like an issue I describe as "Do you really want to date Batman?"

[(Anonymous)]

How are you saying it? Because I've had some shows that I can't get into because of personal issues and I never really get pushback when I say something like, "Yeah, I can't really watch Ilya, he reminds me too much of my asshole ex."

Because I had to see it....

Megan Thee Stallion and Nickelback "Pickle's Back" music video.

I will say that lead singer Nickleback definitey looks better with age.

Share some goofy shit for others to enjoy!

Ooof, yeah some people really can't handle it when you don't like something the same way they do. It's taken as some kind of personal attack when 'I didn't like it' or 'it reminded me of something personal so I didn't like it' are perfectly fine statements that are not in fact implying that people who do like it are wrong or bad.

OP of comment secret.

"He reminds me of the guys I first dated, so I don't like him." Was how I'd say it and you'd think I'd just murdered their pet in front of them, sorry to say some fans of this show really can't handle anything but blind adoration of it and won't hear any differing opinions.

It's not most, and I've met plenty of nice fans now, but it has been painful to find people who don't immediately dismiss my thoughts as some "straight woman bullshit" because I don't agree with them. I don't blame them for not knowing I'm a guy, but I do get to be irritated at my own experiences being dismissed and insulted because I'm not saying what they want to hear.
