At the rate things are going with the gaming industry, I wouldn't be surprised if the next Eevee evolution they're going to introduce would require an evolution item that can only be bought off the eShop on a per-item basis.

And its name shall be Microtransacteon.

Oh my god, Juliet, you can't just ask people wherefore art they Romeo.

It suddenly occurs to me that Clive Rosfield is just an edgy Megaman.

Fights eikons, steals their powers, has a plot-significant brother, seven hells, he even has a dog.

Every once in a while you run into a ship that is so thoroughly jammed into a work in an incredibly forced way, serves absolutely no damned purpose and just gets in the way of the flow of the thing it's in, that it can only be described as an "Ever Given".

TIL there's a species of bacteria whose cells are large enough to be visible to the naked eye (with cells about 1-2 cm in length). It's a filament-shaped bacterium found growing underwater on detached red mangrove leaves in the Guadeloupe archipelago, and apparently its DNA is encapsulated in something that's kind of like a nucleus, but isn't. The thing was thought to be a fungus when it was first discovered, and it took them a few years to realize what the frell they're actually looking at.

Its name is Thiomargarita magnifica ('magnificent sulphur-pearl'), and as its name suggests, it's a sulphur oxidizing bacterium.

Whether or not it's wasting away again in Thiomargaritaville is a different question altogether, although it doesn't strike me as the sort of bacterium to be searching for its lost shaker of salt – mostly on account of not being a halophile.

Turnabout Dead Parrot

(I couldn't stop the parrot from animating a little due to objection.lol's limitations, but somehow those few milliseconds where it looks directly at the camera just make it unintentionally funnier).

"There's some fowl sorcery afoot."

"Yes, because SOMEONE keeps putting chicken legs in the cauldron."

"Well how ELSE are we supposed to make soup stock, Patricia?!"

Daft thought of the now:

A story revolving around an infamous cyber-criminal who engages in some truly unhinged and malicious attacks that spectacularly screw with access to major websites and the Internet at large. Naturally, everyone's trying to figure out what their motive is – what force drives their deeply disruptive acts. Some speculate that they revel in chaos for the sake of chaos and the sense of power it imparts. Some theorize that they're some kind of vigilante going after big name companies, governments and organizations to make a point on how dependent so many people are on so few services and entities. There are many other speculations, some even bordering on conspiratory - but no one figures out until the very end that their true motive is simply petty revenge against the international organization that regulates domain names. Or, in the words of the perpetrator themself, "I'm doing this because ICANN."
