Random Thoughts From Out of Nowhere

[Princess Viola]

I spent like three years not watching toku for some godforsaken reason and then I start watching it again and I wonder why I stopped watching it.

It can't be because the fans are dumb, dumb fans have never ruined anything for me before.

Ultraman Z is my favorite modern Ultra so far. I wish Mill Creek would hurry up and release the Blu-ray, I'd rather watch it on an actual screen instead of just a phone...

 

[Princess Viola]

The last Ultraman I watched was the one that looks exactly the same as all the others.

I never particularly liked Kaiju movies because at some point, fight choreography devolved into taking turns mostly firing crappy special effect beams at each other. Probably because the suits got too big and elaborate for their own good.

probably why I preferred Sentai and Riders to Ultraman.

Kaiju fights peaked in the 1970s.

Probably give that Ultraman a go. Haven't watched one since like, high school.

I think these guys bred while I wasn’t looking. Hard to get a definitive count but there aeems to be more of them swimming around and there’s a few significantly smaller ones.

I'm guessing from the fireworks that it's a holiday weekend.

Memorial Day.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Ah. They're celebrating Memorial Day by reenacting all the wars.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Sounds pretty American.

 

[Sharkshadow]

we celebrate America by blowing up parts of America.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Our vacation from blowing up parts of everywhere else.

Nothing like the smell of gunpowder in the morning!

Well, I'm pretty sure that's a Yu-Gi-Oh reference just because I do know more about the anime than I care to. But I'm not so familiar with it that I get the joke.

Short version: Walmart and Facebook invested tons of money into shitty VR aps that nobody asked for or wanted, calling it the Metaverse
Long Version: loot box guy explains:

Is there a search engine that still searches for the given search terms instead of dropping whatever it finds boring? I'm aware I can just put the terms in quotes but it's gotten to the point where I have to put every single word in quotes or something will get dropped, even though there are tons of results out there for what I'm looking for.

'Fun' update, I was looking on ebay last night for various Machine Robo stuff, as one will. I typed in 'Siren Garry', a large carrier figure from the Machine Robo Rescue line. Ebay said it couldn't find any results, so it searched instead for 'siren gary'; the first 2 hits were for Siren Garry, spelled exactly like I searched for. Is someone actually getting paid money to program these search engines?
