had never heard of James Somerton before but now very suspicious that his stranger things and nostalgia video essay directly compares it to ready player one when one of the few published works of mine on the internet from college was an analysis of stranger things and nostalgia that compares it to ready player one 🤔

#could it be a coincidence? sure but now that we know how much he's plagiarized i'm very suspicious #like that's a very specific comparison #i was really angry at stranger things and ready player one for lack of originality and weaponized nostalgia #and BOY is ironic to copy ideas from a piece about lack of originality #idk i'm not going to say he plagiarized my work but...#hbomberguy #james somerton

ik that taako’s voice in the first episode was because justin was still figuring out his character but i like to imagine that before joining bob taako put on fake accents to avoid being recognised, since he was wanted for the whole poisoning incident, but also for the bit

and then kravitz changes accents mid-fight in crystal kingdom and then drops them during their date at the chug ‘n’ squeeze and taako’s like oh 😳 same hat 😳

#taz balance #the adventure zone #taakitz #taz taako #i’m relistening to the entire balance arc and idk i just think it’s fun to take little abandoned details from the early runs and make them #into headcanon’s. like the whole taako and lup went to a religious boarding school headcanon bc of justin’s one-off comment about olmec #taako can’t even remember his god’s name but he is very religious you guys. they definitely got expelled from the school.#merle gave up on pan between the beach and bob bc his most religious experiences and connections w pan were wiped from his memory. but #exploring and something about his new boss sparks a nostalgia for his og god and he tries to re-build his faith.#magnus’ knife is lowkey prophetic but nobody notices (while riffing on it they mention a +8 weapon that deals an incredible amount of damag #e aka the sword of doom; and they say how in the final arc a dragon will appear from nowhere and has been there the whole time and it loves #you aka lup)#merle doesn’t trust gundren because he has so few memories of his cousin/his family there isn’t anything to gauge his intentions from #sildar hallwinter is barry’s go-to undercover name #y’know. stuff like that #i like re-contexting old information to fit with the new

Welcome to the 6th Installment of @stick-weaponry !!

The blog where we rate and review sticks! You can submit your own stick too to rate and review!

This one was found outside of a Walmart.

It’s a one and done special use sword. Like in some video games where it breaks after 1 or 2 uses but it will do damage.

Best part? It easily hooks to you to quickly whip it out. It could double as a disposable fishing rod.

8/10 10/10 if your a Druid on the go!

I was too young to actually experience Sims 1 and have EPs that actually were...y'know chock full of content and WORTH THE PRICE :'(

I feel for my Gen Z lovelies! I really wish y'all could have had more of that experience before the gaming industry got so incredibly greedy and cheap :(

I hate how life is mostly comprised of experiences that you don't even know you should be appreciating until they are gone lol. As a kid when I got all the EPs (and Sims 2!) it was pretty much always a given that they would be full of tons of stuff. I didn't think twice, it was seen as an obvious thing! Why would I even think they wouldn't be worth it? They didn't come out with tons of mini-packs each year like they do now.

I noticed towards the later years of Sims 2, with all of the Stuff Packs...things were definitely starting to be less and less content. I remember buying the H&M Stuff Pack and was stupidly hoping it would also maybe give a bit of new gameplay, but not really. Just objects (duh.. "Stuff" pack, but I was a teen and wasn't really thinking with all cylinders running haha) and so I think at the time, I only got the H&M and Mansion Stuff packs because I was afraid the other Stuff packs weren't gonna give me much bang for my buck. And CC is abundant out there and free, so..!

By the time Sims 3 came around...I was older and jaded and didn't care much to pay for the ones they were offering (I found plenty of great free CC again, so why bother?) so I haven't bought any Stuff Packs ever since 2008!!

And I've heard soooo many bad stories about Sims 4's Stuff Packs and it's so depressing. Part of the reasons why I never bothered getting into it. I have enough qualms about other modern games I play that get "updates" that aren't too exciting, or have cool stuff hidden behind frickin DLC prices per item!

#“you want this new weapon? cool give us an extra 7.99” um NO thanks #why the Man gotta keep fleecing me left and right #i feel like a crotchety grandma and now i understand true nostalgia lmao #weird sims #personal #i will get off my soap box now
