Deltarune chapters 1-3: Toriel isn't perfect but it's clear she's trying her best and cares a good deal for her kids, so her flaws aren't too bad.

After chapter 4: oh no.

Favorite Parent-Child dynamic

Opening narration: Flurgles are weird little guys and everyone hates them.

Sam Vimes: I hate those bloody Flurgles, shifty little bastards the lot of them.

<some plot events later>

Sam Vimes: if you say one bad word about Flurgles I will kill you; straight up, you'll be dead.

Me facing a moral dilemma:

The Devil on my shoulder: Go ahead and steal it. Who's going to notice? You deserve something nice.

The Babushka on my other shoulder: You must eat soup made of turnip.

God put them in different universes because he knew they would be an unstoppable friendship.

Learning that Emma Frost is originally from Boston is one of those pieces of lore that instantly changes your entire perception of a character.

Currently suffering playing through Borderlands 3.

I fear Gearbox are physically incapable of making any villain that isn't an infinitely smug asshole who Skype calls the player 24/7 to smug at them.

Like goddamn. Not only do the Calypsos yap at you constantly through the game, being aggressively unfunny and unimposing all the while, but literally every secondary antagonist has to smug at you from the moment they're introduced to the moment they die.

And worst of all, for 3, you don't even get the satisfaction of throwing their smugness back at them. They just keel over, nothing for the player to gloat over.

The company got so hooked on Handsome Jack that now EVERY villain needs to be Handsome Jack but shittier.

You gotta really try for the people of Skingrad to think of you as 'the weird guy.'

"Glarthir is the town eccentric" your count is a reclusive vampire there is a woman who is called "Else God-Hater" because she so loudly and obsessively hates all gods the local alchemist is an actual necrophiliac you can't have a town eccentric if your whole town is eccentric

There's no rampant gay sex at all, just a very sad and angry British man. I can't believe the internet lied to me

Kinda sad to think that Piccolo, Android 18, and Majin Buu would outlive all the other Dragon Ball characters.

Namekians are already naturally long-lived with guys like Kami and Guru living for hundreds of years, and in Piccolo's case he also inherited King Piccolo's eternal youth. Trunks' timeline showed that 18 didn't age at all in that time, and even if she likely can't live as long as Piccolo, she'll definitely outlive Krillin.

And Buu is some primordial billions years old eldritch monster.

You figure they'll grab coffee together in the years that follow?

I've never read Tintin so it's just really fucking funny to me that the most baby faced innocent looking boy protagonist runs around strapped with firearms

Like damn, don't fuck with Tintin or your corpse is going in the Binbin.

Democrat President: After spending my entire term fighting tooth and nail against every branch of government I have finally passed a measure that will ensure American citizens have to pay 0.0000001% less taxes.

Republican President: I am going to singlehandedly crash the entire world economy on a whim because I'm bored and not a single person can stop me.

I'm not American, can someone explain how that works?

There's a great melancholy of looking at comedies/parodies from the early 2000s, where George Bush was see as the absolute nadir or intelligence and class in a president.

Like bro I wish we had Bush back in comparison, things got so much worse than him.

Playing a dwarf character for the first time in BG3 and every conversation feels like

Wow, it sure is crazy how Terry Pratchett wrote Good Omens completely on his own. With nobody else involved. At all.

Ben Grimm's whole thing about being shunned by society wouldn't work in a modern Fantastic Four adaptation.

Like if the Thing debuted in the modern day, it wouldn't even take a day for a million monsterfuckers to publicly proclaim their thirst for the guy.
