I swear to God there was a whole ass article about "The Reason Jared Leto Keeps Getting Put in Things despite Being Box Office Poison, Hated By Staff/Directors/His Costars, and A (Allegedly) Known Sex Pest" once but I can't find it.

Oh that's right today is the day white people make us think about Cristóbal Colón all day to show off how they're the Good Settlers instead of doing like... anything else.

A fun footnote here, Nabisco briefly tried out the concept of bite-size chocolatey wafer crisps several years earlier, in 1998, but without the Oreo branding, as "Sweet Crispers" (alongside caramel, honey, and cinnamon variants). They were initially well-received but never *really* caught on

I didn't endure weeks of Era posters in my replies to allow the suggestion that other models of game design were valid.

This Is the Only Correct Game Design | Know Your Meme

This Is the Only Correct Game Design refers to a series of memes exploiting and parodying an illustration of the game world design from the 1996 video game

Thinking about the Dizzo from Vifam.... I love bizarre quadruped mode it has. Simple transformation, one of the classics of 'rotate the waist 180 degrees.' Main additional thing is the knees on the default legs to be double jointed.

I had to explain this to a disappointed teenager once who wanted a power armor sized version. And was like "but it's in the book!" I did end up statblocking one out for him in the end though lol.

If Pete Hegseth wants to impress me with American military aesthetics he knows what he has to so

It's wild because they really run the gamut from wildly inept to direct rip-off but then every now and then they impress you...

And then sometimes... Well...

Oh god this reminds me I meant to ask if you ever looked at any of the RIFTS tabletop books, because the American artists drawing mechs in that is SO FUNNY.
