never argue with an idiot, they’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience

you can tune a piano, but you can’t tuna fish!

oh yeah? if STO is so good, does it support the Super Action Controller?

Star Trek Strategic Operations Simulator for the ColecoVision stays winning

ah yes, Jelleaus, Plato’s finest dialogue

my two favorite media franchises are Star Trek and Sonic. how long have you got?

that’s how you end up on a chair zip-tied to the outer hull

i like the implication that they’re adding angry eyebrows in post

it’s like that old IBM slide days. “A computer can never be held accountable. Therefore a computer must never make a management decision.” i find that quote meaningful in a lot of contexts but it’s especially relevant when we’re actually talking about management

if i like it, it’s canon. if i don’t, it’s not

life is much simpler that way

sonic is real and he is my friend

with Sonic, it would be faster to list what isn’t a big internal debate

it’s a real shame, the swordplay in II was so much better than the awkward top down conbat of I. to me, II is much more of a sequel and ALttP was a step backwards, and then OoT onward was a sidestep towards the one-at-a-time wait-for-an-opening thing (which ironically involved a lot of sidestepping). i love all four games but i wish i loved the other three because of and not in spite of the combat

thankfully Hadrosaurus Games are making a Zelda II II

my house does this with castling. it definitely makes things that much more tense when you omly have one box left on the yahtzee scorecard

i think an album can be all masterpieces but the album itself isn’t a masterpiece. it’s very rare, but it’s happens! if the album just sounds like a playlist and not a cohesive whole, i can’t really call it a masterpiece. in a masterpiece of an album, each song elevates all of the others. sometimes that means telling a story, sometimes that means musical ideas pop up in multiple songs, and sometimes it’s an inexplicable quality that just glues the whole thing together. all of my favorite albums are like that, a whole greater than the sum of it’s already great parts

in the states, the de- prefix is either pronounced “dee” or just “d” without a vowel sound, and in both cases the emphasis is on the verb. whereas debra would be “deh-bruh” or “deb-ruh” with even emphasis

how could i forget Nigh Train! in jazz band in college we’d debate between playing it straight like James Brown or swung like BTTF (and presumably the original), both rule

The Locomotion - any version you can find, they all rule M.T.A. - Kingston Trio Last Train to London - ELO Moonlight Express (album) - The Ivory Heart Love Train - The O’Jays

stretches: Takin’ Care of Business - BTO ("if your train’s on time…) Rydeen - Yellow Magic Orchestra (licensed for the arcade game Super Locomotive. for a rerelease without the license, they wrote a pastiche called “Ryzeen”) Detroit Medley - Bruce Springstein (has a part about a train a-comin’ that IIRC has never been done on it’s own)

hard to pick just one. Flareon just barely eekes it out to the top but it has the unfair advantage of being my first starter, from Gale of Darkness on GCN. my fantasy team would be

Flareon Swampert Decidyueye Gallade Drampa or Altaria Alolan Dugtrio or Clodesire
