I don't want to see any Christmas decorations before 1st December.
I don't want to hear any Christmas songs before 1st December.
I don't want to.
I don't want.
I don't.
I.

I don’t want to see any Christmas decorations

you philistines

sleights of the caterwaul

inodious blightcravers

o parallel abscesses of reason

true delight carries in fresh-shed skin

your sick merriment is the guillotine

 

[Suswave]

oooooh don't I know it

One of the earliest times I remember feeling like a depressed reaction to something was when I flew back from Tokyo and the plane landed and I heard the captain come over the speaker and say "Welcome to Los Angeles" and seriously my heart just dropped

yeah, exactly! you hit LA and by fuck you do not want to be there anymore

I mean, ideally, yes. I can tolerate it for a month. But as always, you give a finger, and the next thing you know you're missing your entire torso.

Mario

Glover looking good these days. Glad he found work after the 90s

 

[MissingNo.]

I'm glad there's people out there who see/hear "Christmas" and don't immediately have to think about all the holidays they had to spend with their bigoted asshat of an uncle and their psychologically abusive witch of an aunt because "They're family, surely you can tolerate them for a day or two..."

I really, really am.

 

[Suswave]

if the holidays aren’t at minimum “uncomfortable bullshit” for you, I simply don’t understand

I'm sorry to hear that. My racist uncle is banned from Thanksgiving because my aunt hosts (sister of his wife). And during Christmas, his children hosts so he's invited but he usually just sits in a corner to himself with everyone ignoring him. Bad family members can really bring the holidays down.

My friend is Muslim and every Christmas he watches Ben-hur. He gets excited about it every year.

can’t relate to this notion of “one bad family member ruining an otherwise great time”

it’s nothing but knives, and when it’s not knives it’s BUY MY SHIT, and when it’s not that it’s The Child Lord Dictates That You Will Be Happy, and when it’s not that it’s miserable slush that soaks in your bones, and when it’s not that it’s nobody can schedule and everyone’s at odds and no matter who does what it all somehow ends up your problem, or it’s horrific taste, or it’s insufferable music that’s only cool when it’s goth and if it’s goth it’s probably deeply racist, or it’s every collapsing expectation of how you’re supposed to be, or how you’re supposed to be in front of family, or how you’re not supposed to act poor, and can you believe they acted rich, and oh their house is gone now, guess they faked it for some made up horseshit that never fucking helped those damn kids, or it’s everyone’s horrible boyfriend or husband makes me want to die and I don’t know if I need to take a knife with me to bed or if that will be enough, or why are you all doing this to yourselves, or why are you all doing this to me, or every lie everyone tells themselves about living and loving and being happy when they are fucking miserable, and how dare you live a true life, how dare you be actually happy, how dare you be so deeply fucking sad, how dare you live in terror, how dare you act different, how dare you change, how dare you not recreate this photo, how dare you have a life so much better and so much worse than everyone who went through the shitty little hoops that they did to be respected, that they’re killing the world for, that they echo to kill anything they think could grow taller than them, any love that could be better than theirs, any hope and any despair that is true of this world and not in line with mythos tiny and enormous, over and over again trotting the fuck on off a cliff

That's dope, sounds like the best way to spend christmas.

Dunno if anyone’s hanging in the Hardware Thread but I’m over there making questionable decisions

This does sound great though

I'd be lying if I didn't think that Christmas 2020 was kind of awesome. It of course sucked not seeing my cousins, their children, and my aunt. But on the plus side, we didn't have to drive to their houses. That Christmas, I opened gifts with my parents and sister, and then I turned on the TV and watched Minority Report. Stayed in my sweatpants all day.

 

[Legion of Primes]

Great ST @Derachi

I have beaten Resident evil 4 remake, one of the more recent games alongside wonder to make me go “wow, what a game,”

I decided to go back and give TotK another shot with my hand issues behind me and properly enjoy it this time

Which one, the original B&W, Charleton Heston or the awful recent one?

 

[KilgoreWolfe]

Just finished reading the first volume of Earthdivers. Hell of a comic, very much recommended (it's violent though, just as a warning).

 

[ngpdrew]

My favorite Christmas memory is my dad hogging the TV to watch Planet of the Apes for 4 hours on cable, with limitless commercial interruptions. Nothing says Christmas like the end of humanity as we know it.

I presume the 1959 one.

I wish the Dr. Serkan Toto Zelda rumour talk lived longer

So now my dad and I spend Christmas going and seeing whatever big Oscar-bait movie is out that week and then ordering a pizza for dinner (a tradition we literally call "Christmas Pizza.")

For anyone struggling with holiday bullshit, I can highly recommend trying the above.

 

[Suswave]

I’ll say what I said over there over here for good measure:

my dude I think you’re doing the ageless classic “Jewish Christmas” — just trading out Chinese food for pizza

I was watching this video last night and it's a fascinating look at both Fandom but also how Wikis work



It's pretty cool that the Nintendo wikis have an alliance together to help support each other.

[HockeyBird]

It's official. The people have spoken. Rabbids more popular than Spider-man

I will definitely give this a watch here later, thanks for showing it

By the by, the only reason I put the decorations up now is because it's hard work and I like to have two months to enjoy looking at said hard work before I have to tear everything down on January 3rd.

What a nice person. Kudos to him.

In my home country, Turkey, believer muslims (we call them "mumin") usually harass people who celebrate or observe Christmas.

I wouldn't say is a practicing Muslim but he identifies as one and still does some customs with his family. He's pretty secular. He'll wish anyone a happy Christmas, Yom Kippur, or whatever holiday you celebrate and takes a big interesting in learning about other religions. He's a big fan of classic movies. I think Turner Classic Movies (TCM) airs (or did air) the movie every Christmas and that's how he came across it. So he made it a Christmas tradition.

It turns out that the GBC port of THPS2 is actually pretty bad. It was one of the first GBC games I ever had, and I think I knew, even back then, that it was bad. But I got the urge to check it out today, and whew.

It’s bad.

My friend growing up had the GBC version, I had the GBA version. The GBA version was vastly superior.

 

[TheQuietone]

Can never tell if I'm lucky or unlucky when it comes to the holidays as I have no close family left to hang around so no bad relatives. Also no good ones either.

 

[Red Monster]

hmm

I do remember seeing ads for the GBA version in like, Nintendo Power. And it looked pretty cool!

The GBA port is genuinely incredible! You should check it out!

 

[Red Monster]

I just spent an unreasonable amount of time trying to figure out how to change the time in Pokémon Crystal. It’s complicated and cryptic - almost as if Game Freak didn’t want you to change the time! After several frustrating minutes, I realized I can just change the time on my retro handheld and that gets reflected in Crystal. Convenient!

Also, small Crystal Legacy update: I found a Houndour after Violet City. This game rules. Being able to grind at 4x speed helps a lot, too.

The GBA version is one of those Vicarious Visions joints that showed how much potential they had as developers. Give it a look!

They just announced who's replacing James Corden in the post-Colbert timeslot

and it's my favorite (currently working) stand-up comedian.

Taylor Tomlinson is gonna be following Stephen Colbert.

I am absolutely goddamn beside myself

Don’t like the idea of a late night host that’s younger than me

 

[Rexskel]

I just found out about these live-action adverts for Punch-Out!! Wii:



and wow I can’t believe I didn’t see them earlier. These are so hilarious and honestly, an mockumentary-style series about Punch-Out would totally be something I would watch, especially with the excellent humor in these ads!

 

[Seven]

Star Ocean reviews looking good. McJRPG gang, we're back!

Have we ever really left?

I'm glad there's people out there who see/hear "Christmas" and don't immediately have to think about all the holidays they had to spend with their bigoted asshat of an uncle and their psychologically abusive witch of an aunt because "They're family, surely you can tolerate them for a day or two..."

I really, really am.

 

[chocolate_supra]

I mean before this she was an accomplished standup with two Netflix specials (and a third on the way) that's younger than us

As Colbert said to her when her gig was announced: "you're more than an entire Taylor Tomlinson younger than I am and I don't find that upsetting at all"
