Basically anything that happened from about late 2006 until 2013 is completely lost on me. I lived in a one horse, two stoplight town, didn't know anything about torrenting, and didn't know where to look for anything new. So I was about as aware of the crash as an elephant is aware a fly farted.

Well for reference the most recent thing I'd watched at that point was Bleach up through the first half of the Soul Society Arc and after that was Madoka Magica two years after it aired, so I uh. Kinda didn't.

All the vocals go hard, this is truly the best AC soundtrack yet and without exception. All the familiar notes and motifs are there, refined and recontextualized to perfection.

The Neverwar is mostly associated with Tankheads but the Jetheads developed late in the war were just as impactful a development. Extreme long distance strikes suddenly became viable, bypassing all defenses. And in turn nimble interceptors were developed to counter this new treat.

My major complaint is that the soundtrack isn't (officially) up anywhere yet. I need my Purple Magic fix.

My experience as a southerner: The biggest secret to the success of the GOP's capture of the government was getting involved in local and state elections first. They spent 30 years changing the rules on small-scale levels to guarantee success for their federal candidates. YOU can do that, too!

Normalize doing this with your OCs to understand and develop them better

i finished the show so now all i have is my delusions

Well I meant that entirely tongue-in-cheek 😅 But, ah. Yeah. Some things are better left between the lines than in black and white.

Look at this point if they do *yet another* reboot/remake/reinterpretation/re-whatever and it's NOT canon I will get directionlessly angry on the internet and make several strongly-worded but vague posts on my microblog.

Any time an M4 shows up in anything set before 1994. Or even shortly thereafter, depending on the subject matter. LOOKING AT YOU NARCOS. And don't even get me *started* on picatinny mounts.

My dad was a Marine so the Gunny was practically a saint in my household, especially once I discovered Mail Call on The History Channel. I like to think that I'm doing alright by living as one of Ermey's waking nightmares.

been seeing some discussion around references and you SHOULD use references AND do whatever you want

Happy Columbo Day to those who celebrate

Wasn't he in Saving Silverman, a film only remembered because it was rerun on Comedy Central twice a day from 2005 to 2007?

2 things can be true 1. Corporate “support” of queerness cannot be trusted and is inherently performative for profit. And corporations won’t save us 2. It’s a good litmus test on public values. If being queer is profitable then it means support is high enough among customers to make it profitable

understated part of the AC8 hype is that this woman is gonna hit the mechsploitation community like a Tonitrus Spear

Once you play Ace Combat 8 you will never stop wanting to beat the Sotoan warlords to death with your bare hands.
