[Pico x Alice 6]

I think we would all PREFER our girlfriends as squids, we just politely say "you're perfect the way you are" so they don't have to feel too bad about being a boring human.

Full disclosure: I never figured out how to have a romantic "relationship" and I don't know what the heck I'm talking about 100% of the time.

[point]

It's not polite to point, you know.

[Perverted Abyss]

This remind me of that "Grendel" novel I had to read in high school--specifically the part where Grendel invades the kingdom's party and eats the princess's fetus straight from her birth canal or something truly graphic like that. Not sure why I was required to read such a disturbing novel for that English class other than it being some sort of unofficial prequel to Beowulf, but at least it wasn't the Witcher novels...

[[🍋 Public U. ] S2 E6 - That's Enough]

Japan has a unique name for every time of character trope--even girls who suffer from schizophrenia, apparently.

[Basking in the Autumn]

She looks scared. I would be, too, if shuriken-star-looking pointy leaves fell from the trees, stabbing and dismembering anyone unable to dodge them in time.

[NiGHT Show]

NiGHTS is such a classic game. Even the Christmas NiGHTS demo disc was a classic in its own right! Journey of Dreams on the Wii was okay, too...

I would pay good money to see a NiGHTS marionette show.

[DRAGON BALL VILLAINS]

I love how nearly all of them seem to have big, swelled heads.

...Ya know, because they're villains? Villains in general are usually full of themselves, have "swelled heads"? Meh, I know when I'm not wanted...

[Mario and some cool platformer characters]

Every single character here is cooler and more charming than the gruff "sad dads" we get in almost all so-called "triple-A" mainstream games today, especially from Sony PlayStation right now. Yes, even Awesome the Possum is more awesome.

I am a bit shocked you seemed to have forgotten to include Sonic here, considering all the early-'90's Sonic knock-offs you did include here. You should also consider including Astro Bot, since he's proof that even modern Sony listens to their platformer-loving niche in the fanbase sometimes. Plus, Astro Bot is simply my GOTY 2024, it is THAT good and refreshing in this day and age.

[Blain Higgs ordering Take Out at St.Louis Bar & Grill]

As overly-simplistic as it sounds, it seems like elections all around the world simply voted out incumbents who just so happened to be in charge during the pandemic and the ensuing economic inflation. This seems to have to worked out in your province's case, as well as the UK's case where they voted out the pro-Brexit Tories in favor of a much more progressive Labour majority, not so much in the US where we just voted out the most pro-union, pro-environment President of our time simply because there was only so much he could do back when Presidents were SUPPOSED to have basically no control over the free market, and the fact that we're still better off than basically Europe and Asia as a whole did not seem to comfort people when they drove by gas station price signs still showing $3-4 dollars per gallon just for the cheapest gas every day.

I disagree that Kamala Harris didn't try her absolute hardest to encourage people to vote FOR her and not just against Trump, especially with constant ads even in deep Blue states reminding people that Trump will only benefit people like Elon Musk specifically and bring back inflation--her Achilles heel, besides representing a status quo saddled with post-COVID inflation woes, was unfortunately that she was not only a woman, but a woman of color, and even the woman of color voters in our country were essentially trained by the media and societal stigma to only trust elderly white dudes to run the entire country, just like every other country that only trusts the ethnic "majority" in their country for such jobs. At least that's my best explanation why she couldn't even at least win the popular vote like Hillary Clinton did in 2016, and we HATED Hillary Clinton.

Thanks for the reminder, though, that other countries are fine or even better off without America's leadership--of course, even now we are trained in this conceited America-centric worldview to think that absolutely everything the United States does, good and especially bad, will automatically ruin every other country's route to democracy and possibly even destroy the world. As well as a reminder that local elections arguably affect our lives more than whoever's in charge in a building thousands of miles away--I can at least take comfort that my own district and state went the exact opposite direction of the entire rest of the country, and thus we are even more unified than in 2016-2020 to blunt the impact of a second Trump Presidency.

Sorry for ALL the reading you have to do here, but right now I should take all the positive self-talks, silver linings, and yes, "copium" I could get.

[Lemansa, Peanuts Style!]

Making everything in the "Peanuts" style is underrated.
