I dunno, but I'd tell them to get some friggin' headphones if your walls are thin enough you have to listen to it.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

This was an ad that popped up when I was on BBC future. Seriously. I'd be grateful if you could stick to telling me how to lose weight, internet.

'Course with Dwarf Fortress, the only relevant question is, "How far away will the ASCII gibs splash on landing?"
5 squares per limb, if you raise the north orthoclase bridge before sacrificing one of them so they have a straight shot to the bottom of the chasm.

Please don't jump to conclusions about what happened. It was only tangentially related to MLP and probably only involved ponies for the shock value.

Who am I kidding. Go ahead, jump to all the conclusions you want, like anyone'll listen to me about it.

Since it's you, I'm gonna go ahead and draw no conclusions from it.

It's funny how it keeps happening though :P

But does that have that TUNG TUNG sound that lets you be able to tell what someone's watching without seeing the screen?

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Not when it's three in the morning and you're trying to go to sleep to the sound of "RAPERAPEDRAMATICMIRANDARIGHTSRAPEMOLESTATIONCOURTROOMSIRENSRAPEDEADBODIES" at such a high volume that you can still hear it even with earbuds in and your music turned up to "I'll be deaf before I'm thirty".

Western shows that the Japanese consider to be toku:
-Doctor Who
-Red Dwarf
-Thomas the Tank Engine
-Thunderbirds

Yes, they consider Thomas the Tank Engine to be in the same genre as mutherfucking Godzilla.

...but not literally.

Toku seems to be a rather abstract genre, with a sci-fi leaning.

It's more about heavy use of special effects than the genre, isn't it?

I stopped trying to figure out concepts that only really exist in Japan, like that one, a long time ago. You will never understand.

It just generalizes live-effects shows. You know, ones that lean towards makeup over cgi-effects?

Thomas the Tank Engine is all animated, though. We don't have talking makeup for trains.

For somebody younger than me, you seem to remember that worse than I do.
