It took me far too long to realize that was supposed to be like "Bagel" and not turning your partners into a gel for your nutritional consumption

Time to put the balls in the holes

Oh no I'm in an adventure/survival horror game

BEAUTALITY

It's wild how every Chinese store that sells anything also sells Gundams

Ah yes, the curtains/Gundam/yuri store

Tag yourself

Oh the skeletal remains of Cool Spot

This store opens 10 whole hours every week. These are like the hours of a secret shop in a video game.

#QuestionOfTheDay what's a #manga #anime #LightNovel that you think would actually make a good Western live action adaptation?

For me it's Arisa. Or as I put it "Nancy Drew vs Light Yagami, and don't bet on Light"

But the concept of a gangster tomboy going undercover at her twin sister's school to discover why her seemingly perfect twin tried to commit suicide, why the message to her sister called her a "traitor" and who the mysterious "King" is that's granting wishes to the students in horrific ways would make a perfect US/Can drama, especially since the manga doesn't use any Japanese specific school conventions and Western audiences love their school drama/thrillers.

In a US context you can even have Tsubasa be from an urban public school & going undercover in Arisa's private school

"The fight-or-flight response helps Neil outrun lions, but he's not on high alert all the time. Most of the time, Neil is a low-alert kind of guy who enjoys chilling with his buddies, grazing, and soaking up the African sub. Except for the occasional run-for-your-life situation, Neil's existence on the savanna is mostly calm.

But what if we gave Normal Neil some upgrades?

First let's give Neil a TV. Now he can watch the Zebra News Network. ZNN has 24-hour coverage of zebra-related news from all over the world, but it's mostly about lions. Neil watches stories about recent lion attacks, future lion attacks, and a terrifying segment called "Are Lions Getting Faster?" Even though there are no actual lions nearby, Neil is not on high alert.

Next, let's give Neil a cell phone."

anyone know any good self care/self love audiobooks read by somebody with a calming voice and easy to listen to?

preferably about pain/eating but just general self care and love and trauma stuff is good too

All these reactions only make sense if people thought Captain Kirk died

for my money, Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, WWF: No Mercy, and Beach Spikers are 3 of the best sports games I've ever played, in that they're easy to learn and hard to master but also very accurately capture the essence/play of those sports

Mario Golf is somehow a more accurate golf game than anything EA's put out

#QuestionOfTheDay in honour of Taylor Swift pointing out the obvious in football - that quarterbacks are said to be facing each other in sports narratives when neither ever see the field together and have no way to directly impact each other

Call out a fallacious fan narrative/discourse in a hobby/media you enjoy

If Bruce Lee lived, do you think he would do cons

In honour of Shohei Ohtani, who is your favourite fictional character that is excellent at two different distinct skills that should be exclusionary? (i.e. not simply good at multiple forms of martial arts, or versed in multiple subjects or something, it has to be something that people are not supposed to be able to be good at both)

#QuestionOfTheDay coolest fictional character (in your opinion) that hails from your home country or city/metro area/province/state/etc (not created by somebody from that country/city/etc irl, but that comes from the region within the story)

I prefer to be as local as possible but i know that unless you live in like New York, LA or Tokyo, you'd have much more limited options so i left it open if you need the larger sample space.

#QuestionOfTheDay in honour of early sports retirements, who is a fictional character you think went out too early? (This can be dying, giving up, being sidelined, being left behind, retiring, leaving the group, leaving the narrative, etc, you can interpret it as you wish in good faith)

Include the story/series/title and medium (game, anime, book, etc) just for those unfamiliar. You can spoiler tag for spoilers.

#QuestionOfTheDay what's the worst heel turn (good character revealed/turned evil during the story) in a work of fiction you've consumed? Why was it a bad decision? (Bad execution? Bad idea if general? Goes against character/arc/theme? Twist for the sake of a twist? Etc)
