Here's a little something half-baked for such a groovy day.
Honestly I've been checked out on Star Wars for a long time: longer than before the new trilogy came around to sour it even further. I mean I technically still write Star Wars, though it's nothing that can be accepted by any ol' fan. For one thing, the Ssi-Ruuk are regularly represented, and another is that they're not presented as their original selves. Still a shame they're so under-utilized in the mythos, only appearing in only two or three books out of the whole EU. What a fine day that
So something curious has just happened: I just got done watching the South Park Post-Covid two part special, and it has put me in a very positive and hopeful mindset. Yeah: South Park of all things giving me the feel-goods. Like legitimate fuzzies about things working out.
Hells to the yeah: Season 2, and it's coming in early December, baby! Right alongside Stone Ocean at that, hoo-yeah!! Just the thing to perk me up after a day of work, I tell ya.
This is a little late in coming, but last Friday I officially quit my job at Walmart and have moved to a desk job for construction company! It's an hour drive to-and-from and starts early in the day, but it pays more, so huzzah fresh starts! So in light of that, I figure I will go ahead and publish my entry in the Gen 5 Bingo Contest before hurrying off to bed. It's very in keeping with spooky month, I say.

MLP: A New Generation had dropped on Netflix yesterday, and I "celebrated" it by roping my two good buds into watching in: one who has zero understanding of pony period, and the other who has some familiarity and dropped out of watching the FiM moving at the three quarter mark. So loaded up with Alize and a loaf of bread to line my stomach, and going by the promise made by the creepy-ass thumbnail of Izzy
HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
I really me, HOOOO-LYYYYYYY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT.
I'm not going into spoilers, but for those who aren't aware yet, Chapter 2 dropped a few days ago, and I'll say it's leaps and bounds better than the first chapter (obviously). But the ending, that ending, a game hasn't made me this hyped to talk to anyone about before. I clasped my hands to my head as it was unfolding, which I have never done before!
Do any of you know about this? I saw a bunch of videos mention it on YouTube, and as most of them sung praise for it and it looked weird enough, and after reading the general premise, I thought I'd give it a watch. And holy Bob was it crisp! Like, all ten episodes had exceptional animation quality that made the characters and all the weirdness really pop. And boy is it weird, especially with the characters. But it's an endearing weird, for all their quirks and insanity. Wamawink is an absolute
