actually I just remembered... at the time I made Dizzy Rascal as a custom character in 2 (kung fu style, obv), so I was really happy when I saw his video for Pagans

when I was a kid my dad used to play Warcraft, and one time I heard him say how realistic the zombie noises sounded, and I was like "yeah dad, just like a real zombie"

awesome. that was like the last iteration of the THQ grappling system after they took it out of the WWF/WCW games. I miss it, tbh

I'm not sure I've successfully done either, but I have 2 kids so probably?

I was wondering about that! I really, really hoped they just hired an impersonator, but I was worried that's what they'd done, because that seems to be the kind of world we live in now

@otsumamiboy.blacksky.app I know this is random but I saw your "kung fu, rap, basketball, beer, and anime" post go by recently and it reminded me of the Def Jam Vendetta games. I'm assuming you've played them?

I've heard that at least once as an explicit parody version, so you're clearly not alone

there was a Doctor Who episode where The Doctor (a new one iirc, might have been Matt Smith) wanted "fish fingers and custard" after regenerating

Brian Fenton @fentie.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

chicken only, the rest no (midwestern US) I do associate "fish fingers" with Britain though

oh no... hoping it's nothing serious/ruinously expensive

I read a book several years ago about computer programs trying to fight spam, vs. computer programs trying to invent more clever spam, and eventually the "fight spam" computers basically broke containment and started physically arranging the murders of human spammers fun times!

they keep trying to reinvent busses and trains, maybe they're just working back through the tech tree until they finally hit empathy and emotional labor

not to mention some of us live in places where it can get so cold that touchscreens stop working. like, the LCD freezes. Nobody ever tested that apparently

ha, guess I just jumped the gun by a post but yes, it's super delicious! we're going to make it this week after I get some more citrus

Brian Fenton @fentie.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

this is pretty close to what we do, except we use an instant pot, and crisp it up under the broiler after it's shredded www.gimmesomeoven.com/instant-pot-...

I feel like there's a high likelihood of finding one in Rick Riordan Presents (rickriordan.com/rick-riordan...)? this might be a bit too mature as well (marketed as "teen") bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

they'd probably cost noticeably more if they did

no recollection of what Virga is, but the dog in question is a Great Pyr, I went & searched it out after I said it good luck! :)

Brian Fenton @fentie.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

have you seen the video where they gave their dog a Destroy button, for when he just needs to get some energy out? They give him an Amazon box to shred when he presses it

my wife celebrates her birthday week (hers is tomorrow in fact) but she's much less prone to buying herself more than a small to moderate-sized treat, so I don't think it applies there

Brian Fenton @fentie.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I'd never thought of it that way, but yeah, that makes sense (mine's the 30th)

the way I heard it explained is that higher order thinking is metabolically expensive, and if you aren't using it your body will prune those neurons to save energy

it still kinda freaks me out how goats have rectangular pupils

any food item sitting unattended on our counter for that long would be at least sampled if not eaten by a cat
