[A parody of MR ROGERS’ NEIGHBOURHOOD, in which the kindly Mr Rogers takes us to see local things in his town.]
 
1
[title]
MR ROGERS’ NEIGHBOURHOOD

MR ROGERS:

Hi there

2
Today, I’d like to take you to visit some of my neighbours… 

[He puts his coat on to leave his house]  

3
At a wonderful local event,
 
[We see the cute toy-town diorama of his village famous from the TV show. The camera pulls out…]

4
The Data Center protest.

[The camera has pulled out further and now we see a huge DATA CENTER at the edge  of town]. 

5
MR ROGERS [joining a crowd protesting outside the Data Center]:

The Data Center is an enormous, windowless, endlessly humming building outside of our town

6
…Which has tripled energy prices, drank all the water, and created four jobs.

7
[to camera, as if kindly explaining to the viewing children]:

Four jobs! Golly!

8
LADY PROTESTOR [probably NAOMI KLEIN, holding a sign]:

In a way, the Data Center is kind of a vivid metaphor for a future we feel locked out of!

9
MR ROGERS [to camera again]:

A metaphor.

10
That’s something that lets us clarify our feelings about something else. 

11
LADY PROTESTOR:
How do you feel, Mr Rogers?

MR ROGERS:
I feel like bringing down the government!

12
MR ROGERS [now holding a sign and protesting]:

It’s good to have neighbors.

I have a new Pathfinder character who is, strictly speaking, a Necromancer. Nothing they do looks necromancy-ish. Anyone observing them would assume they're a Bard. This is the sort of character I would love to bring to PaizoCon just to see people's reactions when they learn about the build.

I cannot stress enough: the AI bubble has already popped it is just being kept on life support by corporations trying to squeeze even a dollar more out of their shit investment, and tech bros doing the same before abandoning their shit company startups. keep hating on AI, you're winning

I occasionally get those spam political texts addressed to my dad or my brother instead of me, but today was the first time I got one addressed to my nephew. Maybe it just messed up because our names are kiiinda similar, but calling me "Alexander" is a quick way for me, Andy, to ignore your text.

Also, this picture is referring to the Omega frame attacking a dragon the size of a building, but without context it looks like my palico and lil OMG are acting out a gradeschool Godzilla play and I love it.

After a rough couple weeks, it's amazing how much hearing eScape can cheer me up. Hearing it in Monster Hunter Wilds was just an extra treat. The Omega fights are some of my favorites in FFXIV. The references in the MHW version were cool to see.

This isn't buying a product from a giant corporation that has problems somewhere in the process. This isn't an artist that was discovered to have committed atrocities years ago and is now either retired or dead. This is a singular, living, bigoted person using profits from their work to fund hate.

JKR explicitly stated that she takes support for her IP as support for her views. She personally funds anti-trans legislature and personally makes sure to silence any opposition. She uses the fortune she makes off HP to do so. Watching this literally, directly supports the anti-trans hate movement.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

For reference, Gen 4 came out in the mid 2000's to underwhelming reviews. The remake was a couple years back and suddenly the originals were masterpieces.
010
PinstripedBarbarian @pinstriped.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
Basically every new mainline game is a new Generation, and they remake old Gens to bring them onto new systems. Gens 4+ have had loud complaints about them, yet when 4 got remade (very poorly) everyone acted like it was making their favorite game look bad.

PinstripedBarbarian @pinstriped.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
But that's the way it goes. People look back with rose-colored glasses. I guess I'm lucky that I enjoy games as easily as I do, because I have nothing but love for PF2e. Hell even as I call Pokemon out for having no sense of pride in their products, I still enjoy every new game in spite of it all.

PinstripedBarbarian @pinstriped.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
And people saying they can't wait for Gen 5? Or how PLZA brings the Gen 6 nostalgia? Definitely some false reports there with how much crap they got. Which is a shame because after gen 6 (the oras remakes specifically) is when the quality of the games started to nosedive.

PinstripedBarbarian @pinstriped.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
But people talking about how much they looooved Gen 4 and feel let down by the remakes? Gen 4 got shat on endlessly. Don't get me wrong the remakes were garbage, but Sinnoh wasn't as popular as Hoenn (even I, a filthy gen wunner, know this to be true)

PinstripedBarbarian @pinstriped.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
But that doesn't stop the fact that its story felt like it was mostly happening off screen with other people. Or that it looks like a game made for the Wii, even though Breath of the Wild was bigger, had a full physics engine, looked better, and came out years beforehand. And Gen 9... uhhh...

I will happily and enthusiastically call out The Pokemon Company for lazy work, but I have also thoroughly enjoyed every game of theirs I've played despite their flaws. Gen8 (with Dexit and "the tree") was an unabashedly wonderful game with great music and the best gimmick they've had in 10 years.

I mostly see people doing the same whining they do about Pathfinder in general, 1e or 2e. People who actually play it tend to be happy with it or only have a few specific gripes, in my experience. Don't doubt that it's happening though. I've seen it in Pokemon for decades.

Lil Grimmy is hovering a bit in the air and just below is a small fluffy kitten looking up (all cats can see Death) and in a speech balloon saying ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

The reason Michael Caine and Tim Curry are so good in their respective Muppet movies is that Michael Caine treats the Muppets as fellow actors, and Tim Curry treats himself as a fellow Muppet.
