Console modding and portablizing is one of my favorite things ever. This isn’t even lose to the craziest one I’ve seen

Ps2 portable

N64 portables always look sisk when the cartridge takes up like half the size.

Wii in an almonds tin is there craziest one I’ve seen to date

There’s a more reasonable wii in a Gameboy as well

It’s a super fun community with a lot of helpful people in it. I haven’t built one yet, but it’s on my project list.

I love the ingenuity and determination.

maybe its because im an asylum seeker but i am of the opinion that even if immigrants and asylum seekers contributed nothing to a nation that nation should not have the right to deport them.

"oh now no-one will do these jobs," well i think its bad that we take advantage of immigrants and asylum seekers' desperation to force them into exploitative jobs that the ordinary citizen is entirely unwilling to put up with.

voice acting as a profession is so funny because you'll see someone being like "voice actors need to be paid better! like [obscure person you've never heard of]" and you're like "oh I wonder who that person is, maybe I've heard them voice a character" and you look it up and it turns out they voice 137 characters in Futurama and 94 characters in The Simpsons and 96 characters in Adventure Time and every one of the My Little Ponies and 27 characters in Arcane and 96 characters in Kim Possible and 4 characters in Phineas and Ferb and 296 characters in Dexter's Laboratory and all of the main cast of Fairly Odd Parents and at least 6 characters in every Pixar movie and almost every animated depiction of Superman and 473 SpongeBob characters and they've been in every installment of Mass Effect and Halo and The Elder Scrolls and Fallout and Call of Duty and they were in Star Trek and Law & Order and they were 12 characters in the MCU and they also invented t-shirts and the colour green and they got paid a sum total of $3.27 and a mothball for all of it combined. then you go burn down David Zaslav's house with him inside

The Odyssey fans got excited to see Odysseus trending and expected a discussion about the Odyssey only to be greeted by Fate Odysseus's tiddy window and his mecha trojan horse

Update: They turn out to be hype about the tiddy window as well

Had a dream last night that i was a knight and this bigger scarier knight had me on the ground and right before he swung his sword at my neck he said smth like "i mourn the loss of life for the tree who will become your coffin" which shouldnt of turned me on like it did but alas

can make little animals out of it, etc

Someone did a study proving that critics talk about shows out of proportion to how popular they are and like. Yeah. Their example was that Succession is far less popular than Young Sheldon, but its finale had hundreds more articles about it than Young Sheldon's did (a measly 56), and. Lads, it's Young Sheldon. What are people going to say about Young Sheldon exactly? 950 articles on the Young Sheldon finale?

It's not even a new phenomenon to ignore boring or shitty 'popular' shows for ones there's more to say about. I'm sure 90s critics talked about Homicide: Life on the Street, The X-Files, and The Larry Sanders Show way more than they talked about Full House, Home Improvement, or Touched By an Angel, and that 80s critics wanted to talk about Cheers and Hill Street Blues more than...well, Full House. Sometimes the stars align and a massive hit does also have a lot of critical buzz about it like Seinfeld but it's not a new thing of "elitists" ignoring popular shows

I think there is a problem with "normie" TV not being covered but it's not that we need more Serious Analysis of Young fuckin Sheldon (lol) but that a lot goes unchecked when it shouldn't, and online people aren't aware of the odious shit being beamed into the homes of their offline uncles. It took a random tweet for the world to know that The Good Doctor, one of the biggest shows on TV, portrays autistic people as inherently transphobic, or that Law & Order was back and doing episodes about the Havana Syndrome. We need to know what deranged shit is being beamed into the brains of millions, since as the audience for linear TV becomes mainly conservative old people, they're gonna pander to that more

(I do also think some shows get unfairly put in that category. Superstore was frequently ignored for being a network workplace sitcom, but it was quietly a great show about labor, to the degree that "corporate sends in ICE to arrest undocumented employees as a ploy to quash unionization efforts" is a story arc. It's a more knowing show about capitalism than much prestige anti-capitalist media not in spite of being "that sitcom about a Wal-Mart" but because it's "that sitcom about a Wal-Mart")

Also the victims of TV coverage homogenization aren't the Young Sheldons of the world, it's all the b-tier shows and slow starters that would've received fair coverage circa 2002-2015, but are now lucky to get a pilot review, much less coverage of how they improve or what things they're playing with. We need more of that not 1,000 articles about one episode of Young Sheldon???

The thing about writers is that they have a writing about things that are interesting bias. Journalists cover car crashes, not the many more people who get home safe each day, because there's nothing to say about that. Ongoing news stories tend to vanish as the status quo holds and then pick up again when something new happens (if I have to see one more person say a story was "memory holed" when they mean "nobody's talking about it bc nothing new has happened in several months" it'll be too soon)

In arts criticism that means there's a lot of coverage of good art, and a lot of coverage of bad art, and not so much coverage of mid art unless it's notable for some reason, like its social context or if it started some media trend or if there's some bonkers backstage story. There's a lot to say about Cheers or The Office; there's a lot to say about My Mother the Car or Heil Honey I'm Home; there's not so much to say about generic 80s family sitcom #382.

During that time from 2002-2015 when recap sites reigned supreme and covered everything, we kind of saw this in action. The AV Club would assign coverage for the season before it even began, and they were often left with some bland nothing of a show getting reviews for every episode. One year the writer covering some CBS medical drama got so bored she started using half the weekly review to write a fake serial novel. Wild that we went from that to an environment where a ton of TV shows just never get reviewed at all

hey everyone its april fools. but dont worry i dont have anything planned. just going to sit here and...
