Have they made a sliver planeswalker yet?

"DECOMPOSE!"

will they next evolve into Inhumanoids?

the original slivers were spikey monsters. then the evolved into humanoids. now they're back to spikey bug monsters.

Wait. Slivers were bishies???

They haven't necessarily looped yet. It's possible they're stuck in "yaoi anatomy"

I think Slivers in MTG have crossed the bishonen line and looped back around to monstrous

Maxi, provigo, loblaws.

Which store brand is it?

I need to buy more "no name" foods. This pizza is freaking awesome.

SEND THE BOOKS!!

So, now that Game of Thrones is over, when can we get back to The Dragon Prince?

Like, half of them nowadays are montages of tweet screencaps from the writer's inbox

lol you expected integrity from internet news

I'm mostly confused how news sites went from "Analysing all the amazingness of Game of Thrones" to "Fans sure don't like this season!", like... way to prioritize clicks over a solid editorial opinion

[and there's a recurring setting of a "derelict industrial site"] is this like the Toei Quarry?

@Foffy and then that giant lasagna just tipped over and killed everyone, to be later known as the infamous Bad Monday event.

Ahahaha!!! Go read the reactions for yourself. To say anything more here risks spoiling the finale for subscribing Allsparkers, the quality of this season notwithstanding.

pretty wild how heathcliff was in the game of thrones finale, i was not expecting that crossover

were they still super pissed?

Well, as someone who is not into Game of Thrones, it sure was entertaining to open up social media this evening to unexpectedly see headlines about fan reactions to the finale. Lmao.

But it's also a SUPER-well known location in my region, so these extensive exterior shots without any post production alterations completely ruin the illusion for me.

I mean, I get why they did it: It's an existing location that fits the purpose, it's open for the public, and they had to shoot some scenes in my home state anyway to due a subsidizing deal.

Needless to say, it's not in Berlin, and even what's seen onscreen is waaaaay too modern for something that's supposed to exist in 1929 (even moreso as a derelict site in 1929). The structures seen haven't even been built until the 1960s!

I'm currently in the process of watching season 2 of Babylon Berlin, and there's a recurring setting of a "derelict industrial site" or whatever it's supposed to be on the show, and I easily recognize it as a place only a few minutes from where I live (it's actually a former ironworks site that's been turned into a public park).

Ever since I went to Japan last year, I have friend who dread watching anime with me due to that...

Not hugely, but I am the type to notice places once I have been there and say "Hey, I've been there!"

Half of new york city (on tape.) is actually montreal.

I watched Death Wish 5 last night and clearly recognized Toronto streets; didn't pull me out of Bronson's 1-man war on drugs or fashion or whatever it was that pissed him off that time

it's nice to finally be thought of as exotic by somebody! lol

In an "I cannot possibly make my brain ignore the location I'm familiar with and pretend it's whatever the story claims it is" way?

Question for those of you living in exotic locations such as the US or the UK: If you watch a movie or a TV show that features a real-life location as a stand-in for someplace else, and you recognize the real-life location due to having been there in person, does that pull you out of the story?

Maybe you should have installed macOS in your house instead.

Nothing like coming home after a long day to find a bird in the house. And then once you sit down for a well-earned rest after leading the bird back outside, you find it had a friend. A friend who *really* doesn't understand how windows work...

Bingo. The big polls don't tell people what's actually happening because that doesn't sell.

IIRC there are good polls but data is easily manipulated so they give people what they want to hear

The only way to get people interested in politics is to make into reality TV. So they lie to do it.

Yeah, polling these days is garbage.

Well, he was an honest man. He wasn’t gonna lie to a 5-year-old.

Grandfather once said to me, "I'm going upstairs and hug your grandma."

Mama always said that you can tell a lot 'bout a person from 'is shoes...

Life is like a box of chocolates. Stay out of the sun or melt into a pile of gross slop.

Greasy, disappointing and still managing to be over priced?

... Yes, it is!

Life's a fillet of fish!

ow the edge

a reminder that life is an unrepentant hellscape where everyone & everything you know will eventually betray you.

You know, this election is what has finally broken me of any confidence at any point of pre-polling data. I mean, it's always been sketchy, but this is just... aaaargh!

I was going to make an Auspol election thread in P&R, but the outcome so far has made me feel physically ill.

Haven't been here in a long time.
