In this case, a sentence from a stranger making a comment to himself in a supermarket. “Can’t skimp on the dunny paper.”
It was, what, 15, 20? (or more?) years ago. I don’t remember what he looked like, nor the sound of his voice, (or really, anything else about that trip), but once upon a time, on a ski holiday with the family, in Mansfield, in the supermarket while were picking up some groceries, I overhead something apparently so profound that it and the location are etched into my memory.
Okay coming late to the party here, but then, that sums up my relationship with games for the most part.
Promo: It's Fallout 4!
Me: Ooh neat, I've been having a lot of fun with Fallout 3, what's this one about?
Promo: It's Fallout 4!
Me: Yeah, but what is it abou.. Promo: Fallout 4! Look! Dog!
Me: Hey, great looking animation on the dog. I never used the dog, I can't stand dogs getting hurt, even in video games, I took the Animal Friend perk just so wouldn't have to hurt the wild dogs. So anyway, what's the game about?
Promo: It's Fallout 4!
Me: Ah, that's all pre-rendered stuff, I'm with Yahtzee on this one, that doesn't count. Nice looking locations, but what's the gameplay like?
Promo: It's Fallout 4! Vault 111!
Me: So is this still in the Washigton area? Does the story tie in with the events of Fallout 3? Is it set sometime after? Before? During, but in another place? Are you going to give me anything?
Promo: It's Fallout 4!
Me: Yeah, but what's the storyline? What's the starting goal of the game? Hell, what's the gameplay like? I’m not going to drop my cash on a name and some pre-rendered graphics that tell me nothing about the product.
Promo: It's Fallout 4!
Me: Oh fuck this.
Promo: It’s Fallout 4! Pre-order now!
All dogs shed all the time. I grew up with it, so I didn't even notice the fur half the time. Hair is dropped all year round (just like humans) then depending on breed you get shedding season or blowing coat.
Spitz types tend to blow coat. And you get little pluckable tufts of loose fur on their body. Which you can then pluck. I like plucking, it's very rewarding, you end up with handfuls of soft, wooly underfur.
I'm gonna have to find a spinner. Dog fur is said to be 80% warmer than wool. Actually I met a spinner once who had some Samoyed in her jumper, it was only for the coldest of days, it was too warm otherwise.
I like to imagine a dog fur blanket. ♫Wrap me up in your love, your love takes me higher~♫
Do corgis shed much? I really want one, but I had a dog that would shed so much and it's a hassle to clean up and i don't really want to deal with that again :/
Yes they shed ALL THE TIME. No such thing as blowing their coats twice a year–it’s an all year round thing. My car is forever destroyed. If you do decide to get a corgi though, habitualization is on your side. You’ll stop noticing it after a while (unless you’re super obsessive about the fur) because it just becomes a part of the landscape. Fur in your food, fur in your bag, fur on your sweaters, fur that follows you into hotel rooms in countries thousands of miles away (and then makes you all shad bc you miss the doge)… you get the picture.
Dan Kuroto after he’s dropped the good guy act and launches into the scenery chewing is one of the most glorious hamtastic performances out there, and you can feel how much fun Iwanaga-san is having. The only thing that could beat it is Shindo Gaku’s work as Killbus in the Build New World movie. There’s good chance that if they were close by, even sets he didn’t appear on had tooth-marks. One can only hope the stagehands were given proper guides to each actors tastes so they could properly season each set beforehand. “it’s a Dan Kuroto scene, salt? Chicken salt? Pepper? Soy or Barbeque sauce?! I NEED TO KNOW!”
I just learned that the actor who plays Kuroto Dan, Tetsuya Iwanaga, has a lot of talents. He’s pharmacist (I think making him the only Ex Aid cast member with a medical background), fluent in English, and an actual “genius” in real life. For instance, he got a “triple A rating” on the JAXA astronaut qualification test.
He’s also seems to be soft spoken:
(He’s like this in other interviews, not just the one here in English.)
I bring this last part up because I knew he was having fun playing Kuroto but wow, this drives home just how much he’s having a blast.
Inspired by this awesome post.
Okay, my first tumblr. Whether this turns out to be a echoing wasteland or a den of endless reposts remains to be seen.
Yay, Boueibu season 2 has started.
....and in comparison to season 1, it looks like they’ve lost some of the subtlety. Yes, Season 1 was them being subtle.
This is going to be an experience.
I see this combined with the post just before this :
crystal-caper: “I’m also trying to imagine a rotten vs rivet scenario but nothing is happening all I see is two dudes falling asleep on the ground instead. “
Then Esport and Sportacus come across the two sleeping Robbies, who have slightly cuddled up to each other in their sleep. Sportacus is all "Aww, and they look so content! I'm glad Robbie's got a new friend. I'll have to think of something quiet for everyone to do so they can get some rest."
Esport: Suddenly needs to go to his airship to ... uh, get in a workout so he can beat Sportacus in their next match. Yeah. It's got nothing to do with needing a cold shower and why are you bringing up twin fantasies?! Just because that oddly charming yet annoying do-gooder he's dating is currently curled up with his identical yet naughtier counterpart, does not mean there are are any fantasies going on here! It's about making sure he beats the pants off that sickening, watered-down, goody-two-shoes fake copy of his in their next competiton!
He's going to win big, so big that even that nerd of his will act as impressed he's supposed to be! And the nerd's double! They'll come running up, telling him how amazing he is, two pairs of creamy-pale hands running over his muscles, awestrck by the power they contain and... and...
So yes, two sports elves come across a pair of sleeping Robbies. The elf in blue greets the sight with soft, fond smile. The elf in red stands shock-still for an instant, cheeks slightly reddening before whirling around announcing that he needs to bench press something.
Rivet hands rotten a bottle of melatonin. rotten cries because he can finally fucjign sleep
Finally world peace achieved. Both of them can just nap in peace and temporarily ignore their sports elves. ((Rivet is 100% sure sportacus can handle his hell goblin. ))
Reposting so I can find this easier (for, uh.... research ;p ) Well honestly, I started off with view that a well-formed pair of buttocks are pleasant enough to gaze upon, but the absolute fervor so many have was just confusing- and then I come across something like this and I’m “Oh, I kind of get it now”. Not just a well-formed ass, it’s a well-formed ass that allows me a glimpse into the world-view of other human beings. Ladies and gentlemen: Katono Taiko- ass ambassador.
