  • I agree about them being a lot of filler for a lot of things (really depends on the channel and the topic). That Disney Fastpass one was really good, and really made me glad that I only went to Disney World twice back in the early 00s when the passes were much simpler. Was shocked but not surprised to see how fucked they made it into. If you have to pre-plan what you want to do each hour of the trip, it really takes all the fun out of shit (and really fucks anyone that hasn’t been before not knowing anything). It is impressive how much joy the min/max crowd get out of the current system, but really sad all at the same time.

    The only mostly gaming long-form YT docs that I get excited to see pop-up are from Down the Rabbit Hole. I was not prepared to actually get interested enough in learning about EVE Online to sit through a 6hr video (broke it into a few chunks). I went to check out some other ones to see what others have made, and even with much much shorter run-times they weren’t as interesting.

    Also recommend “The Story of the Internet Hero Who Grinded to Level 99 in the First Area of Final Fantasy VII” from Cybershell. Pretty funny watch all about a guy that grinded out getting Cloud and Berret to level 99 in the first part of the game. All because of spite. Only a 18min run-time.


  • All I can think about with all the masked fascists (aside from them being fascists) is how basically all of them loved to not wear masks during the main Covid stuff. All claiming that they “couldn’t breathe” with them on, and how antifa and sheep wear them and should be banned. Would be awesome if some folks were able to soak them in pepper spray before getting passed out to the fascists. Would be pulling those shits off real quick, and maybe do some damage to their lungs. Hell, would be awesome if a fuck-ton of pepper/tear gas grenades got set off with them trapped in their APCs. Sadly the lib media would keep backing the blue and call the heroes that pulled off the efforts as “thugs.”


  • CW IRL self-harm, not sharing a link or images in the “spoiler,” just a very general description. Feel free to delete if a mod, or just reply with “please remove” and I will delete it myself.

    Not a “favorite” (due to being self-harm) but really fucked-up one that involved fans recreating a very morbid “scene” that mimics something a player could come across in Fallout New Vegas (or any of the games). Seems like a creepypasta, but 100% true. Again, CW for self-harm.

    Two men committed suicide, but they apparently really liked the Fallout games. They dressed-up like characters (I don’t believe any specific named ones) from the game I believe one had a Vault-Tec coveralls and the other was either a generic wastelander or a raider, and left a note (with a small bag of a few shotgun shells and bottle caps like you might pickup) that read kind of like ones you might find in a spot where people got hit by raiders. Text of the note: “The raiders overtook Sanctuary. Food stores running low. Only have 6 caps left and a bit of ammo. I think I hear something in the distance.”



  • Trump’s time interacting with the WWE and reality TV really makes all of this make sense. Got to have faces and heels to keep ratings high and carry the plot. In the end, they all party after the show. The dems also play their parts. All ran by the rich and their love of keeping the “fans” fighting over which character(s) are better than the others and paying for tickets/PPV.



  • I am just done with all the Boomers and Gen-X folks being condescending about Millennials and Gen-Z being more supportive of options left of Liberal. Get hit with “you just don’t understand what it was like living in the Cold War. And I don’t think you would support them if you were around for Vietnam and constant threat of nuclear war” (or some version of how much chaos existed in the Cold War like we haven’t lived through basically the same shit and more along with them).

    Those same people will talk about how they protested Vietnam, nukes, and were so active (along with “you will get more conservative when you’re older”) in other protests like Civil Rights and Women’s Rights. Maybe even say some shit like “I didn’t sell-out, I bought-in” when pressed about why they became their parents. This doesn’t mean that very broad generalizations of gens is correct. But there are some broad sections of every gen that are large enough to be the “symbol” of those gens. Millennials and Gen-Z will be known to Alpha and (I am guessing) Beta based on similar observations. So it really matters that we need to try to be better. I don’t care what the older gens try to “symbolize” us as, because it is how much we fail those future gens that matters.
