I woulda not forgiven UBISOFT’s dumbass prompts for telling me to play more but…

Finished my first watch through of Star Trek Enterprise. Quite enjoyable overall.

@Angrybrony
Even though that’s how they tried to sell Locke in 5.

Appropriate meme response:

Hajime Isayama author of Attack on Titan says Shonen series influence him most were Fist of North Star[by Buronson & Tetsuo Hara], JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure[Hirohiko Araki] and works of Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata

I think this is the first time that Jan 6th’s Capitol Riot/Insurrection has been directly mentioned in comic continuity, this instance by DC:

@CaptainXtra
I can top that Transformers referenced it in November 2020(appropriately) like two months before it happened.

@Darth Prime
shhhhh shshshshhhhh shhhhhhhhut the fuck up.

@Angrybrony

Why am I not remotely surprised that Reagan from Inside Job has simultaneously become BOTH audience surrogate and waifu.

Like, it’s either “she’s literally me” or “the perfect girlfriend” or BOTH.

R34’s doing its job and I’m not complaining. Reagan’s decent looking and she’s got curves where it matters.

Brains and the looks plus crippling social ineptitude and sickly dose of antisocial attitude? That’s a winning formula right there. Instant waifu.

@tehwatever
At least she’s legal in order to avoid karens and purists.

@Hollowfox Jaeger
Yer missing the point.

I’m tryna say that Reagan being BOTH relatable to the audience and a subject of attraction is indicative of the state of the audience today.

From what little I see of Reagan, I like her a lot, and that bothers me. How am I seeing myself in her both figuratively and that way?

@tehwatever
Gfdi, you shouldn’t have mentioned r34 then if I am missing the point.

It really do be like that:

What are they even the “Resistance” of? You’re fighting on the side the ruling galactic government and lead by the most powerful woman in the galaxy against some snot nosed punkasses cosplaying as the Empire you beat.

I’m assuming it’s typical bureaucracy that doesn’t allow up to date equipment.

@Dustcan
Could radioactivity do that?

Things don’t have to be hot to melt things, just look at acid.

Radiation is not “hot” or “cold”. But radiation can generate heat by exciting particles as it moves through said particles and generates energy from displacing them. That’s how your kitchen microwaves work: it bombards your food with its namesake microwaves in order to generate energy and thus heat.

So yes. Radiation can melt things.

I finished reading this book a few days ago. It’s supposed to be a tie-in to the Tim Burton Planet of the Apes movie, but actually has extremely little to do with it. It’s not bad, but the apes and reference to the movie could be completely cut out and the main story wouldn’t change.
The story begins right after Mark Wahlberg in the film goes missing. His spaceship, the Oberon, tries to find him and crashes on an unknown planet. The planet is home to extremely hostile bugs later named Brax. The small colony of surviving crew of the Oberon eventually wipe out the Brax. Then a genetically altered Chimp who was also one of the survivors stages a takeover of the colony with other apes.
This last part is very rushed and kind of out of nowhere, the apes weren’t seen as being mistreated by the humans during the bulk of the story. Just suddenly at the end one of the human characters turns out to be a twist villain who was trying to murder the genetically altered ape.
Okay book, lame Apes tie-in, uninteresting characters for the most part.

@tehwatever
yes! more inside job watchers!

@Angrybrony
I…dont watch it. I just saw clips and memes and r34 and ask about Reagan from those who watches it.

@tehwatever
disappointed
