Frye, Shiver, I love you both so much. You're so amazing and talented but if you seriously thought you could just barge into the green room of Off The Hook, a Superstar duo with nearly 10 years of experience in the industry, challenge them to a diss-off and NOT get your asses handed to you by them, you had another thing coming 😭

I have discovered that watching LOTR is an excellent hangover cure. 10/10 would recommend

[mysterycitrus]

also sorry ill shut up about this in a minute but — writing from jason’s perspective about dick (in post-crisis canon) is fun because like…….. dick is a very very intimidating person. often not outwardly! he’s generally pretty easy going, he’s very good at talking to people, putting people at ease, etc

but if we’re talking soft + hard power, dick outstrips jason in about every metric like 10-1. in non violent interactions with dick, jason has everything to lose — he might have to put himself at dick’s mercy to get what he wants. it’s not like an oft discussed point in canon but think about the fire power jason has in gotham vs what dick is packing (haha). literally coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb. one guys desert eagle vs the full concentrated power of the sun

once jason would have been able to rely on dick’s loyalty no matter what, the same way that tim and babs and damian and cass and steph and the titans do. but now he’s lost that privilege. he’s on the other side of the fence, second guessing everything dick does as an act to put him at easy before striking. is dick being genuinely friendly or playing 5D chess? probably both if we’re being honest

[blorbo-arena]

Another day, another victory for Iroh as we enter the midway point of Series 1! We now face a true case of the Hydrogen Bomb vs. Coughing Baby, with the fully-realized Fire Lord Zuko joining the fray. Make no mistake, folks; a match between The Dragon of the West and The Blue Spirit is surely to be quite the spectacle.

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon

Please play this game I am begging on my knees

Whats not to like:

1

Big robots fighting with oversized weapons

2

A lovely photo mode for all the screenshots you would ever need

3

Endless mech costumisation

4

Endless LOGO and DECAL constumisation

(This logo took about 3 hours of my day but I regret absolutely nothing)

5

Not one. Not two. But THREE great stories (with NG+ and NG++)

6

"621, the Balam Corporation wants you to burn down this orphenage for a handful of COAM. It's just a job, all of it. Stay focused on the job 621"

7

Handler Walter my beloved🥰

(He's actually just a disembodied voice in the game, credits to u/Count15 on Reddit for the fanart)

Also, shoutout to the lady in my head that calls me Studmuffin (love you Ayre)

8

Coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb (i.e : if you're gonna commit war crimes and/or throw away your humanity, do it in style)

9

(this one is just for you @zealfruity, if you're anyone else you can scroll past this one)

You can make a Transformer!

(This one is by iiiveliii on TikTok. I haven't found any great Starscreams, meaning YOU should be the first!)

10

If you're not @zealfruity, welcome back! So, for my last and final point:

THE MUSIC

If you weren't already enamoured by the visuals of this game, wait t'ill you hear its soundtrack.

These are two examples I cherry-picked from my favorites, but there's nothing more atmospheric than fighting giant robots while having these bangers in the background.

CLOSING REMARKS

AC6: Fires of Rubicon is an amazing game. It takes about 50-60 hours to complete (including NG+ and NG++), but I've sank more than 100+ hours into it as of writing this post. It offers an experience unlike any other, letting you not only build and costumize your massive war machine to your heart's content, experimenting with many different playstyles, but also let's you experience an amazing story with many hidden facades (in true FromSoftware style (did I mention this was a FromSoft game? Dark Souls FromSoft?)) and fight interesting and varied bosses.

Be warned, I have struggled on quite a few bosses, and even the tutorial boss is considered a "filter". However, when you do beat these ennemies, you feel a rush unlike any other.

I've spent all this time writing this and yet I haven't even talked about PvP, and thats because my enjoyment of it varies extremely depending on who I'm fighting. Some people run builds based around the meta (which I personnally find a bit boring, but if that's your vibe then go all out), but I find the truly entertaining matches to be players who aren't afraid to experiment, bringing unconventionnal weapons or builds and trying out interesting strategies. Some also throw all of that out of the window, and I've had quite a few matches end up with me and them simply throwing our weapons out and punching each other to death.

All around, I obviously could not recommend this game more. It's a good 9.5/10 for me, with my only criticism is that I wish there were more long-range and ballistic weapons (I'm a sucker for the sound of bullets ricocheing).

[i.d.: tf2 fanart. red pyro holds the phlog, a flamethrower, and looks down at blu scout. scout's adult head is on a baby's body, such as seen in pyroland in the video "meet the pyro." he looks up blankly. they are captioned "Hydrogen Bomb vs. Coughing Baby," in which pyro is the bomb and scout the baby. the background is a fire, lighting the two dramatically. /end i.d.]

i fear this may be coughing bomb vs hydrogen baby but.

[supermaks]

max going to merc is one of the favorite scenarios i like to entertain with myself bc the idea of max being on lewis’ ass about everything at 19 years old 🤣 but real talk i think for personal growth it’s good that he ended up at red bull

CAN u imagine.......... 2021 speedrun .................... brocedes without the bros. Foecedes. Prolly the greatest lineup of any sport ever and it would've lasted like 2 seasons. 'Max, it's James' and Max stops the car and pulls out an ak and fires directly into the pit wall. Baby coughing vs hydrogen bomb. Merc max would've been on 2 fbi lists. And if J0S was around like he was Max's rookie years thats Lewis on a fbi list too ((free him)). Merc tries to film a single cute lil q&a and Lewis refuses to answer what his favorite color is and Max starts crying. Roscoe is kidnapped 4 times

Animated Films of 2023

November 12th 2023 (Blog #6)

I should probably preface this by saying these are the only animated films released in 2023 that I've seen (though there have been 4 or 5 others released in theaters). From the wisdom of Guillermo del Toro, animation is cinema, and I believe we deserve more animated films! After the master pieces that are the Spider-Verse films, as well as del Toro's own version of Pinocchio released last year, we have seen time and time again that this medium is not only for children, and is a legitimate art form deserving of more legitimate attention. But back to your regularly scheduled program...

#3 The Super Mario Bros. Movie

Despite the indescribable success of the Mario Bros. games since their initial release in 1983, no successful film adaptation had ever been made about the series. There was an adaptation, released in 1993, simply and similarly titled Super Mario Bros., though it was... not exactly the same quality as the games were. This long-awaited animated film adaptation did exactly what it set out to do: it had cute 3D animated versions of the iconic Mario characters as they fought against Bowser. It wasn’t spectacular, but it also was not a bad movie. It just wasn’t revolutionary. I do believe that such a beloved franchise deserved a movie that had the same level of cutesy animation that the games provided, and this did just that. This film is a great choice to watch with your family.

#2 Elemental

Disney-Pixar’s newest film did not disappoint. Elemental follows a fire-girl who falls in love with a water-boy. The love story is enticing, but there is a lot going on in the underlying society: Many believe that bad things will happen if different elements “mix”, and the city is informally segregated because of this belief. After the two fall in love, they decide to test it out- how bad could it really be?- and, lo and behold, literally nothing happens. The inability for different elements to mix was based on nothing but fear. The fire-people are the most feared because others believe they could cause damage to other elements, and thus faced intense discrimination and were kicked from their lands. This doesn’t really get a conclusion, but the element-mixing leads to people setting aside their fears for a more integrated city. I think that movies like Elemental are great ways for children to learn about the prejudices all around them. Sometimes, these things are just too difficult for young minds to understand at face-value, so putting it into an analogy like elements helps them understand. There are absolutely some issues to be had with the fact that the elements, which are stand-ins for race, actually are different, but that’s a different critique for a different post!

#1 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Comparing this film to the two previous films kind of feels like "hydrogen bomb vs. coughing baby". The Spider-Verse films are not only the greatest super hero films ever made in my opinion, but also the greatest animated films. They are so, so gorgeous, it is hard to put into words. Many films have moved away from using any intense color palettes, and are opting for more subdued colors, but these films completely ignore this trend and make what are probably the most colorful movies I’ve ever seen in my life. They look just like a comic book, but not in a tacky way, and not in a way that will age badly, I don’t think. They are simply the perfect comic book movies. This addition to the series not only lived up to expectations set by the previous release (in 2018), but completely blew its predecessor out of the water. Where the first film was inventive, colorful, emotional, and perfectly-comic-book-y, this film did it all 10x better. The only bad thing about this one is that it doesn’t have any kind of conclusion, as it is the first part of a story to-be-continued and resolved in the next release, the end of the trilogy. Into the Spider-Verse (2018) created this world, introduced Miles Morales, showed us what this trilogy set out to do, and introduced the idea of the multi-verse. Across the Spider-Verse (2023) takes the idea of the multi-verse and dives right in, displaying a world of not only 6 or so Spider Men, but an infinite number of them from an infinite number of universes, all in need of protection from collapsing the space-time continuum. I cannot recommend any other animated films as much as I recommend these! (Though I don’t blame anyone for wanting to wait until the finale of the trilogy is released. Its such a cliffhanger!)
