LANOTA IS FREE FOR 3 DAYS??? *rushes to appstore and downloads Lanota for the first time in 2 years*
#used to play the game on my android phone#cause... the first 2 chapters + some other features are free over there#and then my skill stagnated at ptt.14 (?) and also my phone ran out of storage so I deleted the game#and then 6 months later I downloaded Phigros cause those 2 games had a collab and then boom. I spiraled.#ally's ramblings don't worry abt it#go back to my roots. as they say

According to a new plot description, M3GAN 2.0 now picks up two years later. Gemma is a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of A.I. Meanwhile, Gemma’s niece Cady, now 14, has become a teenager, rebelling against Gemma’s overprotective rules. "Unbeknownst to them, the underlying tech for M3GAN has been stolen and misused by a powerful defense contractor to create a military-grade weapon known as Amelia [Ivanna Sakhno], the ultimate killer infiltration spy," the description reads. "But as Amelia’s self-awareness increases, she becomes decidedly less interested in taking orders from humans. Or in keeping them around." The sequel then becomes M3GAN vs. Amelia. "With the future of human existence on the line, Gemma realizes that the only option is to resurrect M3GAN [Amie Donald, voiced by Jenna Davis] and give her a few upgrades, making her faster, stronger, and more lethal," the description continues. "As their paths collide, the original A.I bitch is about to meet her match."
Wait, giving M3gan a stronger, more dangerous body seems unwise considering she was already pulling off people's ears and stuff in the last movie?
Also wondering how this plot lines up with the supposed sexbot spin-off that they're also meant to be doing, although in all honesty that might just be covering the same ground as that new film Companion (which is seemingly about a sexbot that becomes self-aware after the dude who bought her did some illegal upgrades to her to make her more life-like or something), although that also has the problem of someone deciding to market a Terminator-ish android for people to just have around their house.
Eh, maybe it's in the near future where the current administration has gotten rid of all administration in the US has gotten rid of all safety laws, so people are allowed to own potentially dangerous and/or self-aware robots the same way that they're allowed to just drink lead paint or something.,

Kelowna: Become Human by LadyJanelly
rating: T words: 8.9k summary: What better way is there for a professional hockey team to make sure their prospects can focus on getting NHL ready, than buying them their very own android?

Must Love Dogs by SpiritsFlame
rating: G words: 12k summary: It doesn't occur to Jamie until he's standing on Tyler's front porch at 3am, barefoot, that maybe he should have called first In which Jamie Benn steals a dog, gets his best friend back, and combats toxic masculinity. In more or less that order.
i love this fic so much. cute ass fucking dog. PHENOMENAL use of the premise.
Featuring Marshall by wutheringjane
rating: G words: 4.1k summary: Tyler's latest video was called "GUESS WHO'S GOING TO DALLAS"
YOUTUBER AUUUUUU!!!!!! oh my god i am OBSESSED w youtube aus. and this ones so fucking cute too. theyre fans of each other your honour
the old brag of my heart (I am, I am, I am) by Mayhem10
rating: G words: 9.9k summary: Sometimes people forget that Jamie Benn exists.
this is part of the condition of existence series, and it's the second one in the series, but the whole series is phenomenal. i replay tyler's discovery moment in my brain over and over (OH YEAH, READ THE FIRST ONE DIRECTLY FROM THIS LINK)
Pitches Love Velocity by bohnem990
rating: T words: 12k summary: There’s no use in talking about money to Tyler, Brownie knows. It’s the reason that Brownie was the one to major in business in college, while Tyler majored in drinking with a minor in marketing. “If you want to drop a grand on one night at a sports event can’t you at least spend it on a real sport?” Several people, Tyler included, gape at him. “Like hockey,” Brownie barrels on, “We could totally go to a hockey game. We’re Canadian, Segs! We’re supposed to eat, sleep, and breathe hockey!” -- Alternately : “Dude,” Brownie laughs, “I think Jamie Benn’s agent just asked you to fuck him.”
THIS FIC. tyler at the restaurant lives rent free. FRAT BOY ASS. i love them so much.
Something Wild by Linsky
pairing: tyler seguin/jamie benn
rating: E words: 3k summary: The girl on Tinder is typing again. why don’t you show me how good you are with a cock Tyler coughs and drops his phone. That’s—wow. He did not expect her to go there.

I Know a Little Chapel by Linsky
rating: M words: 4.5k summary: Tyler Seguin is a very good wedding planner. Which is why he’s not freaking out that Jamie Benn of the Dallas fucking Stars is sitting in his office.

rating: T words: 2.6k summary: ashlee @/messysegsy - Sep 15 why does it feel like everyone got #OneTImerTour tickets except for me??????? @/tylerseguin please explain (5 replies 3 retweets 20 likes)
first part of the rheotaxis series!! i am a big sucker for social media aus, and aus in general, and musician/hockey is a trope i LOVE (shout out to that mceichel fic) so this is the perfect fic for me. unironically perfect.
scar tissue by eternalvariegation
rating: T words: 12k summary: Jamie still remembers when they were practically living out of each other’s pockets, the memory twinging like a muscle he hasn’t used in a long time but that his body hasn’t forgotten. It was probably inevitable that they’d see less of each other once Jamie formally requested that they no longer go into the field together but it still hits him sometimes. The tangible feeling of loss despite it having been his own decision in the end. Tyler didn’t speak to him for a month after he found out.
SPY AU oh my gosh. "partner doing what he thinks is best for other partner. it is not best" is such an insane trope and i love it so much in this fic. done incredibly well. please read this.
Arms of the Sea by LadyJanelly
rating: T words: 3.7k summary: Jamie gives her back to the sea when she dies, three years into their marriage, their baby still inside her. He sews her up in sailcloth with the porridge pot she brought from her mother’s house, a stone from their shared hearth, scaling knife, thimble and needle. He sails out to the deep water and lowers her into the water, weeps as she sinks into the ocean’s embrace. He sails back to land and gives his boat to his brother. He will not return to the ocean. It is a graveyard to him now. He finds a job in a logging camp, and for a year his feet are dry, his lips do not taste of salt.
incredibly emotional and beautiful fic. op wonders whether their execution of the concept is dull and pretentious in the opening notes and i think that is the worst part of this fic, only because it does such a disservice to it. RAHH i love it
wandering bee seeks the rose by clachnaben
rating: E words: 8.7k summary: Jamie Benn coaches a youth hockey team and Tyler is a determined Hockey Mom. Meet cutes and queer women and youth hockey
yk i had to shout out the lesbians to round it out. sexy hockey mom tyler lives in my head rent free and i dont even like women.
#fic recs#bennguin#tyler seguin#jamie benn#a bit late but ignore that#hope you like this list cuz i have a potential second one

Alright people. Buckle up cus it's finally time i tell you the history of Animal Crossing!!!! (After putting it off for awhile)
Originally named どうぶつの森 (Doubutsu no mori) in Japan meaning Animal Forest. It was introduced at Spaceworld 2000 in Japan and many people have claimed there was a playable demo there. I believe there is a bit if footage you can find on it but I may be wrong.
Doubutsu no mori released on April 14, 2001 on the Nintendo 64 exclusively in Japan. Only 8 months later on December 14, 2001 they released Doubutsu no mori + for the Gamecube which contained extra features left out of the 64 version such as the museum and the Able sisters (along with house upgrades I believe) and used the Gamecube's built in clock.
Finally, they localised and released the game under the title Animal Crossing: Population Growing in North America on September 16, 2002, Australia on October 17, 2003, and Europe on September 24, 2004 on the Gamecube
However, on June 27, 2003 Japan release yet another version of the game titled Doubutsu no mori e+ where they added even more new features for villagers such as: extended dialogue, the best friend system, sickness, likes/hates, catching fleas, etc. In this version of the game you could use the e card reader to obtain certain items. In this version of the game you could also buy an island from Tom Nook which you could access through Kapp'n. Once you got to this island you could name it, create a flag, and download it onto your Gameboy Advance to continue interacting with your islander or even trade islands with other players.
Animal Crossing Wild World released for the Nintendo DS in Japan on November 23, 2005, North America and Australia on December 5, 2005, and in Europe sometime in March of 2006.
On June 1, 2006 a Chinese version of Doubutsu no mori called 动物森林 (Dòngwù Sēnlín) was released for the iQue Player, a Chinese Nintendo console. Dòngwù Sēnlín is the original N64 version of the game despite featuring characters from Doubutsu no mori + on the cover.
Animal Crossing City Folk was releases in North America November 16, 2008 for the Wii followed by its release in Japan on November 20, 2008, Australia on December 4, 2008, and Europe on December 5, 2008. City Folk was compatible with the Wii Speak microphone, which allowed you to talk to other players who had it- essentially a form of voice chat. Fun fact: there's an add for the game where it is featured being used!!! One feature i absolutely love in this game is the fountain , where you can throw an axe into it and a special character named Serena will appear and she is how you obtain both the silver and golden axe.
Now onto Animal Crossing New Leaf was released for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan and South Korea on February 7, 2013. After that, it released internationally across June of 2003: June 9 in North America, June 14 in Europe, and June 15 in Australia.
Animal Crossing Happy Home designer was released for the 3DS in Japan on July 30, 2015, North America on September 25, Europe on October 2, and Australia on October 3. This game was very different from the others and the main goal was to design houses for villagers.
In November of 2015 we were cursed with Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival for the Wii U. The game only sold 490,000 copies and was considering a failure.
Animal Crossing Pocket Camp was released on Android and iOS mobile devices on October 25, 2017 and 40 other territories on November 22, 2017- but other sources say it was the 21. Sadly, in the last year we received news that it will be shutting down, but apparently from what i know they will be making another version of it or something of the sort.
Animal Crossing New Horizons was released on March 20, 2020 internationally for the Nintendo Switch. This game introduced DIY crafting and in later updates, cooking. Eventually they added the Happy Home Paradise DLC on November 5, 2021 which essentially functions like Happy Home Designer, but unlocks new skill you can use on your island.
I must say, we've come a longggggg way with this game. It helped a lot of people through 2020- including me. Can't wait to see what's in store for us next. Hope you enjoyed learning about the history of the games and if you would like to know more (like stuff about merch or even the movie) ask away! :D

You'll upgrade your os and find "features" the devil wouldn't even make. Why the fuck would i want a giant version of the text i JUST copied covering up my screen? In what way displaying the text above my keyboard not visible enough? Who the fuck.
The solution for Android 13 is: adb shell appops set com.android.systemui READ_CLIPBOARD ignore
for 14 you have to install Shizuku (root not needed) and App Ops, go to App Ops, find SystemUI, turn on Shown system frameworks apps, scroll down to clipboard, and set Read clipboard to Ignore. Btw.
#Not as bad as the wretched one that was just auto-rotate except separate from the auto-rotate you already knew of#But still pretty bad

Do you feel like ranking DBZ movie villains by how interested you would be in a movie that reinvents them for the current canon/state of the franchise, like what Broly got?
Alternatively, by how interested you would be if you could write the movie, without having to worry about how you expect Toei would actually write the characters in question.
#1 - Lord Slug. He and his movie suffer tremendously from the whole "Just rehashing Piccolo-Daimao" thing but the stuff they do add to the character is really interesting and fun.
He's an alien vampire who blots out the sun as part of his sinister plan to convert the Earth into a sports car he can drive around and look cool in. He's defeated by Goku drawing the energy of the sun into a Genki-Dama to erase his vampiric ass, which is an established obscure ability of the technique that no one has ever done anything with.
Kaio literally said with words from his mouth that Goku can use the sun to make a Genki-Dama. Goku had to make a desperate Genki-Dama once on a planet with three suns. And this has never, ever come up. Except against Namekian Dracula and his army of vampires.
This is the top of my list of things to formally canonize a "The Good Version" of.
2 - Turles. Tree of Might is also a film that had a lot of interesting elements about it. Turles's plot is underdeveloped because of the film following manga rehash rails so closely but, like Slug, the original stuff they did with him is fascinating.
Turles is presented as a foil to Goku. Where Goku has studied and mastered the divine arts of the gods, Turles somehow broke into the heavens and stole away with an item of immense power. He's a bandit who pillaged the heavens for power and then wreaked havoc on the mortal universe. How did he do that? That's so cool.
And it sets up a unique rivalry between him and Goku, pitting Goku's divine techniques against the incredible powers that Turles possesses but doesn't fully understand.
Also, like the Solar Genki-Dama, the part where Goku destroys the Tree of Might not by hitting it with an attack but by using the technique's genki-harvesting feature to pull all the world's stolen genki back out of the tree? Genuinely brilliant application of an obscure feature of the technique we don't really think about.
And and I just desperately want it to be canon that low-class Saiyans only have a handful of mass-produced faces and body types between them. That's the film's explanation for why Turles looks like Goku. It's because Goku is an assembly line Barbie doll you can buy off the shelf at Walmart, as opposed to the $50,000 custom-made luxury item that is Vegeta.
3 - Cooler: Cooler, I'm less enthusiastic about but there are ways that he can be interesting. I've speculated about some ways that they could go about adapting Cooler to DBS canon because he's always seemed, after Broly, to be the most likely candidate.
But honestly, Cooler's never really been that interesting to me. He's a knock-off Frieza in the same way Slug's a knock-off Piccolo but there isn't really anything unique I can point to and go, "EXCEPT there's this really interesting stuff that they could really push and make an interesting villain out of." He's... just Frieza with the serial numbers filed off.
Even my pitches for Cooler basically just amount to, "Create a new character who is Frieza's brother and name him Cooler."
Alright. So, from here we get into characters I'm not disinterested in necessarily but I don't think could really work.
4 - Androids 13, 14, and 15. These three can only interestingly fit into a very specific span of time. Popping out during the week build-up to the Cell Games is basically the perfect placement for them, because the Cell arc is the only time when "Oh no, EVEN MORE evil Androids by Dr. Gero!" really works as a story.
I like them. They're fun, and they could be even moreso if given a chance. But their window of opportunity is slim. Canonizing them would make more sense as an interquel than a sequel. And we don't really need an interquel for them, because that movie already exists and is called "Extreme Battle!! The Three Great Super Saiyans".
5 - Dr. Wheelo. Similarly, Dr. Wheelo has already been pretty thoroughly cannibalized by Dr. Gero and Zamasu. "Super-old mad scientist Dr. Brain-in-a-Jar and his bio-android minions plot to steal Goku's body" is a story that would feel like it's rehashing material we already have, even though he fucking came first.
And here we go with the ones I'm just not interested in at all.
6 - Garlic Jr. Basically the only thing interesting about him is "How do we defeat a guy who's immortal?" But the answer to that question is always bullshit. "He opens the Negative Zone and defeats himself." "Goku has a pager in his pocket he can just use to call God and ask him to please delete this plot from the story." "Do the thing to make him not immortal anymore and then it's not a problem."
There's the Mafuba but at this point that just feels cheap. There's not really a way to have the characters walk up and hit the villain with a technique they've all known about for decades and could have done at any moment, but to keep it in reserve as an eleventh hour THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION desperation play even though they could have just done it at any point in the fight.
Characters keeping the winning play in their back pocket for no other reason than to make the fight more dramatic is exactly the kind of thing that I go off on modern Dragon Ball for.
So. Yeah. The answer to "How do we defeat the immortal villain?" is that there is no good answer and we shouldn't write characters into that situation. This character's one and only utility is to force the movie to end stupidly.
(Honestly, Gomah is probably the closest to a good version of Garlic Jr. you could ever get.)
7 - Janemba. Janemba isn't really a character. He's a vehicle to facilitate the idea of villains from Hell breaking out and starting a commotion. That's all he is. It's an idea that Toei liked so much they did it three separate times: Once for the Anoyoichi Budokai filler arc, once for Fusion Reborn, and once for the Super Android 17 arc of GT.
But my beef with it is twofold. First. Like. The mythology of Dragon Ball is set up specifically to disallow plots like this. Villains don't keep their bodies when they die. They become a powerless soul like all the other powerless souls. Keeping your body is a rare and special privilege, and is the only way to retain your power.
This cannot happen.
The other issue is that it's boring. The escalating powerscale of Dragon Ball means that yesterday's titanic threat isn't that big of a deal tomorrow. The way this always works out is like. "Oh no, Raditz and Nappa are back! But also Gohan's like 87 quintillion times more powerful than them so he just flicks them both in the head and they explode and die instantly."
Reclimbing old mountains isn't as fun in practice as it sounds on paper. Oh no, what if Goku had to fight Tambourine again? How could Super Saiyan Blue Goku ever manage to defeat Tambourine?
And without that element... there's just nothing else to Janemba as a threat. He is the least interesting thing that happens in his movie. A vehicle to facilitate a plot that's now been done to death and hasn't been good a single time, and a fusion that is no longer bold new territory to tread.
8 - Bojack. The only interesting thing that happens in Bojack's movie is a martial arts tournament that Bojack isn't even involved with. Like Janemba, there isn't really a lot to Bojack and his crew. They're just... some villains. In the wide world of Dragon Ball villains, here are some more of them.
And finally, closing out this list with an honorable mention.
N/A - Hirudegarn. I actually don't remember this movie so I can't say how interesting it would be to create a canon version of Tapion and Hirudegarn.
