My god they predicted Galidor

actually i never got the kek powerizer so my childhood was tragically devoid of enhanced glinching. still healing from that

i had all the galidor toys. and also many of the butt ugly martians toys

"haha wow i can't believe lego put all that energy into galidor who was that even for" me, when i was 8 and i didn't know how to tell apart things that were good from things that were bad

in the galidor. straight up "glinching it". and by "it", haha, well. let's justr say. My limbs

And maybe if the connection ports were different for different body parts. Would it be more restricting? Yes. More expensive and time consuming to produce? Maybe. But at least you wouldn't be able to create such horrors as these.

Hot take of the day: The modular action figure idea of Galidor could have worked if it wasn't made by Lego. And they didn't call it "glinching".

Maybe it will actually be a movie this time than a TV show turned into one

I keep “joking” that GTA 6 feels like the series finale for video games but it’s not really a joke

They killed him. They fucking killed him. Im shaking jesus christ. Dear God .

So uuuuhhhhh Yeah, Sentai’s just gone from Tubi. Still seems to be on Pluto TV….. for now…. BUY THOSE DVD SETS NOW, PEOPLE.

all i can think of when i see clock king is this

I made the right choice getting my Wii back.

people genuinely don't realize how awful civil conflict is

unstoppable force (American hyperpolarization) vs immovable object (American hyperconsumerism)

Red and Blue America the minute they realize that a civil war means that the flow of treats would be disrupted

everybody's a radical until the economy and society breaks

the one thing that might end a Yoon moment in America is the fact that it would likely end the consumerist privileges most Americans value above life itself (see COVID response)

As I was watching this incredible three-plus hour conclusion, I notice a lot of history repeating. Same scenarios, same bad decisions, even some of the same players. So, yeah, pay attention. There'll be a test later on. Okay, no test, but do pay attention and learn from them.

Hot take of the day: The modular action figure idea of Galidor could have worked if it wasn't made by Lego. And they didn't call it "glinching".

And for all the fancy snap-together systems that have been tried (and probably are great for certain use cases), for most things all you need is to decide on peg/hole dimensions, and if necessary the spacing intervals for multi-point connections. Simpler than lego.

But you'll have a hell of a time convincing American toy companies to do anything that even has a consistent internal standard much less any kind of broader intercompatibility thing instead of a walled garden. Corpos hate the idea of play that mixes brand identities but kids dgaf about that.

It's shown up to some extent in G.I. Joe, Starriors, Transformers (and even more so in Diaclone, especially the GK scene), Matchbox, TMNT, DC superhero figures, plamo, bionicle, etc. Modular connectors. Esp. for sci-fi gubbins (stuff more distinct in form than greeblies) Plamo is doing it best atm

There's a toy concept that has proven itself time and again across multiple generations of kids but you only see it half-implemented because it only Makes Money instead of Makes All The Money, doesn't primarily appeal to collectors, and doesn't appeal to executives who just want a cheap IP tie-in.

My god they predicted Galidor

We really should be more concerned with how much AI generated information and media the President is consuming on a regular basis

Helen Slater is the best.

Teen Titans Go! returns for more new episodes Saturday, July 18 at 9:00a. Paired with it is a CN network debut, Grizzy and the Lemmings, at 9:30a. Bleh.

Fuck it, I'll add PS1 97-98 to that one, because those early PS1 games are "the 16 bit games but better graphics" And I mean that literally - after an attempt to make a fancy PS1 version based on the 3DO port crashed and burned, they just made a new one with the Genesis version as a base

I mean it when I say the Goof Troop episodes animated by Disney Australia are the best. They employ a fast-paced style animation with some hilariously grotesque facial expressions that elevate the humor. It's almost too good for TV of this era.

Tree Law experts, your time is now.

This is true btw when I was young and watched that movie I was genuinely fucking confused at why these two were even a duo little did I know . . . Just speaks to how weird this pairing is lol

There are three football games I will invariably go back to: - 2K5 - Tecmo Super Bowl - 16 bit Madden (I'm partial to SNES 96 because that was the one I grew up, but you can't go wrong with Genesis 93-96 or SNES 94-96)

Like, the year after 2K went away Madden immediately - and I mean IMMEDIATELY - shit the bed so hard that the current series, THREE CONSOLE GENERATIONS LATER, is way less fun to play than what is now a 22 year old PlayStation 2 game And that is *pathetic*

ESPN NFL 2K5. Simultaneously the greatest video game about American football *and* the last good one because the NFL 2K series was summarily executed after this because of capitalism

Also Jeanie the Genius is the best pitch by far and I'm appalled that she was left on the cutting room floor with the likes of Steamboat Phil and Rock and Rowel while fucking Lo the Poor Indian got a backdoor pilot We were robbed, I tells ya. Robbed.

This can be best seen in the two characters W7 actually got off the ground: - Cool Cat, locked in a permanent Bugs Bunny-style chase with Colonel Rimfire - Merlin the Magic Mouse, who travels around the world, visiting various setpieces and serving as a vessel for various backdoor pilots

In conclusion, Warner Bros.-Seven Arts only knew how to make three cartoons: 1. Generic chase cartoons 2. Cartoons where are protagonist travels from setpiece to setpiece and is ultimately secondary to the overall plot 3. Cartoons that already exist

I think I understand the reason why these daffy and speedy cartoons came into existence as Porky and Bugs were being retired, Speedy is a B-list that has the personality to play both of those roles, acting as a rival like Bugs and a co-star like Porky with its own spin

I'm gonna look at the pitch boards for Warner Bros.-Seven Arts (including many unmade Looney Tunes proposals and several actually made ones) because why not Also alphabetical order because fuck you

You can tell the writer’s British when the characters start saying shit like “rubbish”

Physical media was our best hope for getting people to even see the damn thing.

So it turns out Trump talks back to the screen when he watches Arsenic and Old Lace.
