Pyrrhic

Last thing I'll say about this bunch of episodes for the book club. Once you realise that they cut out the monologue where Huang Rui compares a cocktail to being a dictator you'll find it leaves a lot to the imagination My ImaginationHuang Rui: You see a cocktail is a lot like a dictatorship... Jiao Rebello: Auch! If I wanted to see a man form a dictatorship I would have gone to dictatorclass. Meanwhile in IserlohnYang Wenli: You see Julian, a dictatorship is a lot like a cocktail Schonkopf: Just form the darn dictatorship!

thought you read chapter 5. Sorry. Although double checking there were only two instances of them sharing a paragraph. And one of them was just Caserne saying "White knight syndrome is engulfing the capital".

Just found out that Close Combat Mage has an anime adaptation called "Melee Mage" and it's 3 years old. The premise is a guy uses his knowledge of IRL kung fu to become OP in a VRMMO.

I had been under the impression that if you didn't bring something up it was because you didn't find it interesting enough to mention it. Like, I thought it strange you didn't mention the lard kaiser, who was the worst kaiser since Rudolf. But figured that maybe it wasn't as interesting as Rudolf naming a unit of measurement after himself. I don't want to be the guy who constantly points stuff out from the books. Which is why I reference the manga and DNT. And the musical.

It's something from the chapter I mentioned (though lard kaiser is a moniker I made up). Schumacher starts to wonder how bad a kaiser Erwin Joseph will become, then the narrator goes onto a tangent about a kaiser whom plunged the galaxy into civil war, (edit:which he lost) before being replaced by another Goldenbaum.

I also try and avoid mentioning book details since it's the equivalent of me saying "THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN IN THE SHOW". Which is a spoiler in its own way.

Sounds like a good reason to hate dinosaurs.

Something I find funny about the Cutey Honey franchise is that the OPs imply a large cast of hot girls, when really it's just one girl who Bugs Bunnies around in disguises.

Where were you people 5 years ago when you could have made a difference?

I swear Star Fox fans are like Avatar Aang: When the world needed them most, they vannished.

They choose now of all times to start praising Assault? That game could have used some of that praise before Nintendo started to remake Lylat Wars again.

What's an EV, specificly the kind that appear in sportbetting. And why did they disappear? Did they all evolve into Umbreons?

First one looks like someone's fake moustache blew off.

Interesting. So that means you can summon any animal you've been mauled by.

Dane missed his opportunity to vote in a poll twice.

I wish you had asked me the musical question a month earlier. I could have watched, recorded and recommended "A Succulent Chinese Musical"

It's similar to LOGH in that it is about Democracy Manifest.

by which I mean it's supposed to be a prequel to the youtube video "Democracy Manifest" Cop:"No akido or taiquando. I'm going to know my judo well!" Chorus: "YOU KNOW YOUR JUDO WELL. YOU KNOW YOUR JUDO WELL".

Every Tales game needs mabo curry worked into the plot somehow. It can't just be a thing your characters learn to cook, it has to show up in dialogue. And if it doesn't get mentioned in the game's dialogue by a main character, it shows up in the prequel.

Started watching Li'l Elvis Jones and the Truckstoppers. It's another kids show where you don't realize how fucked up the premise is until you're an adult. A couple in the NT who own a service station, find a baby in a guitar case are convinced the kid is the illigitimate son of Elvis Presley. So they raise him up to be an Elvis Impersonator, and they won't let him go to school.

And it's not like his parents weren't Elvis impersonators before they started raising the kid.

I'm doing any, since I'm not a girl.

Maybe it's because when I watched it I didn't watch it from the start, so I thought his parents weren't delusional. But watching it from the start this is the clearest case of nurture over nature, since the kid does not want to be an elvis impersonator, but his parents are forcing that life-style onto him.

up to episode 5. The show has been kinda mid. First genuine laugh from me came with this line: "You'll be interviewed on the highest rated current affairs show in the known universe: 48 Minutes Plus Adds". Such a great parody name for 60 Minutes

Yeah, the character is technically an illegal short-stack.

Retard is too formal to be a slur. For something to be a slur it must be either a mispronounciation or a shortening of an existing word.

Like how Bob is a slur for people named Rob.

What makes something a slur is not the meaning or the harshness of the word, but rather the etymology and how it was invented.

With 5 lions at a time, the sun is definitely going to run out of PP and struggle itself to death.

There's a next Phijkchu game to be excited about? (according to a poll in the other discord)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r06FycvcC9Q Not going to dignify this video with a watch. I'm just thinking "WTF do you mean villains aren't this cool anymore?". You dare to make a thumbnail containing a villain of a then currently airing tv series, and say villains aren't THIS cool anymore when you've got a living example of a villain being THIS cool in your thumbnail.

Are you guys watching both Overture to a New War and Golden Wings, or just Golden Wings?

Really want to recommend the youtube channel A Question of Character but I have trouble thinking which video I should use as an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NS1cZVf0fGU

Depends on the lineup. I just assumed you were since Overture and Golden Wings were both released between seasons 2 and 3. Also it took a long time for anyone to specify that they were talking about Golden Wings.

I was trying not to spoil it for the bachelor party, since I find it hilarious the idea that someone would show off Overture to other people thinking they're having the others get into mid-series weirdness, when actually they're just watching a remake of the first two episodes, with a bunch of extra scenes taking place before the battle.

Sadly the versions of Unforgotten Realms we got on RAWB.ART don't have the "FOLLOWING EPISODE" disclaimers they had at the beginning of the first dosen episodes, as it was on Escapist Magazine.

Like: The following episode may contain the word "tiddly wank". Viewer discression is adviced. Though I don't know what that means Though technically it already does contain the word tiddly wank Or: "The following episode contains language that offends those who wear dresses or attend bible school" The following episode contains language learned in grade 3. Or The following episode will not have one of those "THE FOLLOWING EPISODE" at the start of the episode. Or (at the end of an episode): The following episode is over. See what I did there Or: "The following episode is in compliance with Zimbabwean copyright law section...." (I forgot the numbers used in this preview)

There were 13 of them. One of them midway through the second season.

Just found out stickers exist on discord, and that I can use them now that I got nitro. Outside of the phijkchu server this is the best I got access to.

You've never played Settlers of Catan. The only thing that can grow in grassland is sheep.

Watching Stone Faced Reactions' reaction to Witch Hat Atelier's ending for season 1. "I didn't know we were watching the Sopranos". Such a golden line.

Finally found a video of their's that I feel good about sharing.

They're all such good options. I feel like the order you press them matters, though I ain't going to press them at the same time.

Had a Toy Story dream. Rex and Mr Potato Head and Forky went to Andy's house. Forky started wondering about the line between what is a toy and what is a non-toy, and started randomly declaring objects toys and making them sentient. Andy overheard Rex, and finds out the toys were alive. They flush Forky's main body down the toilet, and Andy sets fire to Forky's arms on the kitchen stove. Dealing with Forky once and for all. Andy then asks Rex if his Finding Nemo blanket was alive as well, to which Rex says no since he never played with it.

The season 2 finale of LOGH / Legend of the Galactic Heroes raises the question of what if Kircheis and Annerose were at the coronation. I like to ask what if Berty and Bart (from Lufia II) were at Reinhard's corronation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOaOHH6sL5k

Remember: Reinhard's admirals are dumb enough to stand around and watch as a guy pulls out a rocket launcher from a corpse within a coffin. So they'd be dumb enough to stand around as the crown gets stolen.

None of the people in my Lufia discord have watched LOGH. And none of the people in my LOGH discords have played Lufia. So I get no good answers from any of them
