Neopets RPG that's just a Honey Heist re-skin where your stats are OMELETTE and MICROTRANSACTIONS

The real Neopets RPG was the friends we made along the way (by which I mean the Neopets inspired game jam on itchio) itch.io/jam/go-weave...

Ben Affleck smoking and looking exasperated

Me: I fucking love Neopets, I've actively played pretty much ever since the site got started, I never want to see it leave

Also me watching Neopets for the past 15 years:

Neopets rpg, no! You had so many ...<checks notes>

...so much...<keeps checking>

<one hour later>

... farewell

“Seems like they’re working something out that’s not about me and is therefore not my business.” Repeat this to yourself until you pass out.

idk I’ve seen a bajillion kids movies where the kids parents die & let me tell you, having a convo with my kid about how anyone can die at any time & it doesn’t matter if they’re someone’s mom or dad is way harder than having a convo about how sometimes someone has two dads or whatever. And yet

Late start on Laputa tonight. Haven’t watched it in over 20 years (since I was at a friends birthday party and it really distressed me at the time) I think I just wasn’t ready for the onslaught of emotions, bc if I had seen it even a few years later it would’ve formed a core of my personality.

its remarkable how for so long the general assumption was that young folks (back when that meant millenials mostly) were inherently smart about computers and now decades of convenient streamlined stuff and the opposite seems to be true

The dumb assumption they'd learn for themselves in a world full of computers was taken for granted

I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere

Every single problem with modern Star Trek would be fixed by 26-episode seasons.

Then it would only have the same problems old star trek had.

This is a policy of genocide.

This fight scene inside the clock is a banger. I’m stealing it for a tabletop fight.

I love Zenigata hamming it up for the cameras. Oh no!!! What could they be printing down here I wonder!!!!!!

Man. The scene of him getting shut down on the counterfeiting investigation is so real. You’d think we’d’ve come further in almost 50 years but no. Rich people still don’t face consequences.

AND ITS ZENIGATA WITH THE FLAMING HELICOPTER

FOLD OUT BALCONIES??

I truly appreciate Fujiko’s “don’t throw a chair at it, I have grenades” methodology

Also we truly just don’t have enough villains with Gadgets these days. There are trapdoors and extending walkways in this and we need villains with this level of nonsense in their houses

Lupin listing off the currencies that have been counterfeited and forcing me to realize that this movie predates the European Union by 14 years 💀

I haven’t seen this one before but it is very funny to me that Clarisse and Nausicaa are….very similar looking. Artists are allowed to reuse things - the robots in Nausicaa and Laputa come to mind - it’s just funny that it’s happened here too.

Castle of Cagliostro (English dub only, unforch) tonight is available via hoopla + my local library. God I love libraries.

A March 2026 calendar. The background is a painted field of flowers and ponds with a mountain on the horizon, a shot from Howl’s Moving Castle. The calendar is titled Miyazaki March, and lists dates to watch 12 different Hayao Miyazaki directed movies. Castle of Cagliostro is listed on March 1, Nausicaa on March 4, and a double feature on March 7 of Castle in the Sky and Howl’s Moving Castle. March 8 is My Neighbor Totoro, March 11 is Princess Mononoke, and March 14 is Spirited Away. Ponyo is scheduled for March 15, Kiki’s Delivery Service on March 18, and The Wind Rises and Porco Rosso together on March 21. There is a week off, and the last film is The Boy and the Heron on March 29th.

@betafishbebe.bsky.social gave me the bug for monthly movie themes. Miyazaki March starts tonight 🎆🌄🌌

This is a very very very obvious point to make but shops and movie rental places and record stores are all more fun than buying things online

This is exactly what marketing yourself on social media feels like, actually.

Satellite proposals threaten the night sky In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the agency responsible for authorizing satellite launches and operations…

The FCC just opened public comments on SpaceX's plan to launch a million satellites to do AI compute in space. Under the current proposal, an environmental review won't be required. Please consider submitting a public comment to oppose this damaging plan.
