Okay, in Jerboa it looks like you need the space between “:::” and the “spoiler” and there can’t be empty lines, it’s got to be the spoiler header, then the line you’re marking up, then the closing tag? At least that’s how my test looked to me, but maybe my other tests screwed up the parser 😛

Hmm, I’m in Jerboa, but it typically has spoiler tags. Maybe it needs a space between the colons and the word “spoiler”?

This doesn’t render as a spoiler for me, BTW
- Comment on I stand with Spider-Woman 🏳️⚧️ 1 week ago:
I know it’s not the point of this… but I actually really like in this one that Petra has roughly the same silhouette as before and didn’t instantly become some hippy curvascacious pin-up.
Maybe that’s dysphoric for people, I don’t know, but to me, a cis-guy, it feels weird that she’d come out as trans and suddenly have a magical-girl transformation and her pelvis would grow three sizes that day.
I guess I’m saying she’s still Spider-Woman with narrow hips?

Fake and Gay! Which, as we all know, is the worst thing someone can be! 😛
Or wait, it was the worst thing someone can be. Fake and Drag Queen!

I feel like every sitcom and many movies have plot lines based around people getting up out of their beds in the night to go to the kitchen for food.
I have never in my life ever done this. I’ve never even wanted to do this. I don’t think I understand the idea.
Is this a thing people do, or is it just a sitcom premise to get people into strange situations?
Is it an American thing?
- Comment on Is this true? 2 weeks ago:
Right, I get that. But I wouldn’t consider the scenery nothing! I liked the scerey!

I think this is a difference between us as players. I’m not a competitionist at all, and I don’t even remember what economy the Korok seeds were for. I probably finished the game with a ton of them collected and unspent.
But in my mind they weren’t meant to be collected as a goal on their own. I’d be exploring up a mountain or whatever, just because I wanted to know what was on the other side, and when I got up to the peak I’d look out over the landscape and enjoy it for what it is. And then while I was up there I’d see a weird rock and go “ah, the developers wanted me to be up here looking at this view” and I’d move the rock, get some little fireworks, and then I’d have a buddy to enjoy the scenery with.
And then hours later, maybe months in real time, I’d be climbing around and see a Korok and go “Oh! I must have been up here before! Hey little guy” and then keep going.
So I liked them because it was something put there by the devs to show that they intended this place to be visited; that they put some attention here, and I had come to a place that wasn’t just endless grass or empty procedural trees or something. It was full of stuff, even if it was silly little guys.
Oh, and you can drop rocks on their heads and they go “oof”. That’s a good one.

I loved BotW as it was… but to be honest if they offered more dungeons without changing the exploring part, I would have taken that on top, for sure.
I did hate Tears of the Kingdom, though, so I guess it’s a delicate balance that just happened to land in my hitbox on BotW.
- Comment on Is this true? 2 weeks ago:
Hmmm… I see what you to mean… but it’s in my top 5 games of all time, and none of the other Zelda games are. So I think it just shimmied into a different genre, which I get could be a problem for an existing fanbase that liked the old genre.

Breath of the Wild.
Arguably Outer Wilds.
- Comment on Simply Bananas 2 weeks ago:
They did, actually yeah! And I agree it was a little weird. They had to hit the same “Oomph Oomph” pattern of Beast Wars, so it was “Bease Tees”, basically. It works, it’s the version that plays in my head when I think about it, but it’s definitely not as natural as two short words…
- Comment on Simply Bananas 2 weeks ago:
Beasties in Canada. I guess they didn’t like “wars” in the title of a kids show? But we got an American station too, so when we’d watch it in Ontario it’d be Beasties, and then we’d flip the channel and it’d be Beast Wars coming out of Buffalo. As far as I know everything else was the same, or at least I never noticed anything…

I can only assume you meant faking the moon landing was, like this shit, rad as hell!

Totally fair!

For sure, I think they did a very interesting thing with the game. This organization has a purpose and a daily function. You spend your whole time in a workplace of sorts. But you are not a worker, you’re not even an employee, and you as Jesse only show up after shit has hit the fan. They’re already in the emergency. She’s never been here before, and neither have we. And she doesn’t care how the company operates day-to-day, she doesn’t care how the lights are kept on or the heating functions, she’s showed up in an office that’s turned into a combat zone to do combat and rescue her brother.
And so I kinda like how we aren’t given rundowns on normal operations because this is not normal operation, and Jesse isn’t interested, and so we’re pushed through the emergency. But there are bits of environmental storytelling, and scraps of paper, and notes and tapes, that tell curius players “you know, on a normal day, this place is a different kind of weird. You’ve just shown up on an even weirder day”
- Comment on Day 763 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 3 weeks ago:
Here’s what I’ll say if you’re anything like me: read the pickups. The little scraps of paper you find littered about the offices, the folders, the dossiers, etc. I don’t normally read that crap in most games, but in this game I noticed I started getting intrigued by a few after I’d been in playing for a while, and by the end of the game they were almost my favourite part. The kind of world outside the game’s plot, the mundane day-to-day existence of this organization when it’s not in a crisis, was very interesting to me.
So it might not be to you, people can be very different. But you could try giving reading a try and just see if the oddness hooks you like it did for me.
- Comment on Hypocrisy is their default setting 5 weeks ago:
It’s not hypocracy. They know time off is great. They know medical care is great. They know it’s great to be housed and fed and not worried about a single paycheck being late ruining your entire life. Their philosophy is not that these things are unnecessary.
Their philosophy is that there are people who deserve these nice things, namely them and people like them, and that other people deserve to suffer. And that every nice thing they get that other people don’t, further separates them from the people they don’t like.
Some people who believe these things may actually truly believe that the carrot of a better life ahead if you, and the sticks of poverty behind you, might motivate you to innovate or improve yourself in some way. Some of them might believe that the suffering is important, because without it no one would ever do anything.
But I think a lot of them don’t even think that. They just like having things other people want.

We didn’t invent pixels until Steve Jobs single-handedly started cranking out iPhones in 2007.
- Comment on Refer to the chart 1 month ago:
As soon as The Muppets and Lucasfilm were both owned by Disney, my friends and I spent a lot of time taking about how a Muppet Star Wars just makes sense.
Now, it’s a bit of a crowded space, with Blue Harvest and Space Balls already doing a lot of parody work in this area, but I think there’s still room. The only problem is that I think the normal formula would have Luke be played by a human and everyone else be Muppets, but Kermit feels like he’d be a great Luke. So you’d need one of the other key roles to be human to balance it out.
- Comment on "Censorship" ☠️ 1 month ago:
I don’t know, I haven’t seen the scene or heard the vocal delivery, I’m not sure what kind of anime it is, or what kind of tone it’s trying to strike. If the mood is “she has discovered a dark secret and is scared” then yeah, “I didn’t realize you were a pedophile” would work great.
But if instead she’s found some porn that isn’t necessarily naked children, and it’s played off as deadpan funny or awkward or misunderstanding, then I think “I didn’t realize you were a pedophile” might not come across light heartedly in the way “I didn’t realize you were a creep” or something similar would. Even if it’s an accurate “word for word” translation, it might not sound right in the scene or match the character’s delivery.
But I don’t know this anime or what it’s about, so I don’t know what the tone should be. It just sounds like there’s disagreement with the line as chosen.
- Comment on "Censorship" ☠️ 1 month ago:
If the term isn’t meant to be so “heavy” in the original usage, and there isn’t an equivalent “light” term here, I wonder if it would’ve been better to just translate it as “I didn’t realize you were a creep” or something else that misses the nuance, but gets the intended feeling and tone across.
