@_shmCS @Viathanlol Scarily enough, it has a wiktionary page and dates back to the 90s

@ct5413 @PancreasNo By my count Marvel's got something like ~226 "What If" stories spanning half a century so, y'know
there's franchises out there that are serious competitors and I don't know that DBZ is really up on the podium

@Cheemsburbgerrr @HallowLitten101 @tobyfox @cunninghamUTDR @tumblr What I've seen of him has some vaguely Dril-esque energy, so I think there's probably analogues to make
"Weird Tumblr shitpost RP account" covers some of it I guess

@FestiveCactuar @MoradoMoon If you want to mainline Xenogears/Xenosaga 1-3/Xenoblade 1-3+X in preparation, nobody's gonna stop you (beyond saying that Xenogears is a bit dated and later Xenosagas a bit scuffed).

[Neveron @NeveronPA]

@FestiveCactuar @MoradoMoon Given the subtitle, it's probably safe-ish to assume that you can go into it as your first Xeno- game. Expect some "if you know it'll enhance the experience" references to other Xenoblade games and the most obscure Xenogears/Xenosaga lorebook entries you've never heard of.

hey so i listened to the radio again and

the spaceship in xenoblade genesis. i think it was a ship that was traveling to the Eta Carinae Nebula. the "mountain" looks a lot like the tip of the philadelphia ship.

so xenoblade genesis would happen in the eta carinae nebula?

@Misterhedge23 I'd recommend that you look up Apartheid, and also possibly the Wikipedia article on "Israeli apartheid" to see how a bunch of the global hatred just comes from the same place.

@zippstered @KEMO_HUNZ @IDontHavePuns @direYGO Wile E. Coyote vs. Roadrunner but the Roadrunner is a fat guy just going about his business and not noticing how when he bends down to pick up a penny he hits the tripwire that shoots the dart that ricochets twice and gets lodged in the dad's binoculars

[Neveron @NeveronPA]

@zippstered @KEMO_HUNZ @IDontHavePuns @direYGO Mind you, there's also the pure comedy option where the guy and girl are completely oblivious through the entirety of the movie, his bumbling unknowingly foils all the increasingly elaborate murder plots, and the focus is on the parents getting hoist by their own petard

[Neveron @NeveronPA]

@someguyTJ @LuvenNiku @MrDeez1004 with the caveat here that the last Mario character to get in was fucking Piranha Plant so, y'know
look forward to get meteor smashed by The Old Psychic Lady with the Evil Eye Who Reads Fortunes and Knows Everything Before It Happens

[Neveron @NeveronPA]

@someguyTJ @LuvenNiku @MrDeez1004 Waluigi basically just exists in the sports-adjacent spinoffs, and Daisy kind of takes that niche.
If there's a 10th Mario rep, somehow, it's probably more likely to be someone like (Captain) Toad/Toadette.
Waluigi's very much a joke character, unfortunately.

[Neveron @NeveronPA]

@KEMO_HUNZ @IDontHavePuns @direYGO You think he's oblivious for most of the movie, but then in the emotional climax the friend tearfully tells him the truth of the situation and he says "I know".

[Neveron @NeveronPA]

@alfons_cer @KeeperCipek666 @th_greenlight @isilanorien And even then, I'd imagine that a future historian could argue that the Republic-to-Empire wasn't a hard "fall" - the transition was a democratic one, Sheev was a dictator for three years before becoming Emperor, and the Galactic Senate was only dissolved for five years!

[Neveron @NeveronPA]

@ArcherWillows @oshinolivor @Necr0s25 @weeabob @SPRWIFE Yes, but does Kojima know that?

[Neveron @NeveronPA]

@roman_prophet @thinkiamsad I'd imagine that this was probably a lot easier for an ancient Greek to square as well, given the proclivities of the Greek gods. Those are all clearly neither omnipotent, omniscient, nor omnibelevolent.
But, at the same time, clearly no longer messing with humans?

[Neveron @NeveronPA]

@roman_prophet @thinkiamsad I guess it's maybe worth pointing out how the Epicurean Paradox predates Christianity by a couple hundred years and Epicurus himself wasn't an atheist, just more of a Deist: gods may exist and be all-knowing and all-powerful, but if so clearly don't care about our well-being.

[Neveron @NeveronPA]

@roman_prophet @thinkiamsad It's a very simple perspective and probably inspired by all the memes about Baby YouTube, but honestly that makes it kind of interesting
Why *shouldn't* God give us infinite pleasure forever? Why are we forced to moderate ourselves rather than indulge?

[Neveron @NeveronPA]

@roman_prophet @thinkiamsad Notably this isn't the old anarchist "do whatever so long as it doesn't infringe on someone else's freedom" thing, because as far as the baby is concerned mummy's reason for existence is to give it unconditional love and she doesn't get free will.

[Neveron @NeveronPA]

@roman_prophet @thinkiamsad Honestly, the curious thing about the Babycandian Paradox is how it flips the script: rather than being about the existence of evil, it's about the limits put on pleasure. Evil redefined as pleasure being withheld from you.

[Neveron @NeveronPA]

@roman_prophet @thinkiamsad Expanding the metaphor, this lets the metaphorical child ask a followup question: if my father turned out to be ignorant, flawed, and weak, does the same apply to the Father?
Possibly there is a perfectly good reason for evil to exist, much like the lack of candy, but what is it?
