I looked up who John Swartzwelder is and god that episodes like The Old Man and the Lisa were written sarcastically by a hardcore conservative explains so much

yo this is a good post thanks for writing it up. I go back to the simpsons sometimes just so I can say "yea, it's still really good" but yea how the episodes got written is a real open question that a lot of people keep quiet about so that's an interesting subject

a reset button wouldn't work at all, you wouldn't be able to hit it while it has power. I think the issue is less this is wrong way to reset it, and more it's absurd to put a computer into a lightbulb

How is Everipedia different from Wikipedia and similar sites?
- Anyone can make pages about anything (as long as they are properly cited).
- Editing on Everipedia is modern and visually appealing. For example, we embrace memes (in a scholarly way, of course), incorporate GIFs within the copy, and display images and videos in a way to make them stand out.
- Talk pages are designed as discussion threads. This allows our editors to continuously discuss news-related items about their favorite topics.
- Celebrities can have verified accounts. Not only does this allow them to have conversations with their fans on their own page, but they can also contribute information to their own pages... without having to rely on secondary sources!
- Every page from Wikipedia is already here on Everipedia to build on top of and improve.
- All these reasons make Everipedia the greatest knowledge project ever!

I get the sense that saving Westeros and not getting the adoration she got in the past is supposed to be why she takes the turn she does, so I don't think anything is reversed. I think that makes less sense, actually.
My gut is that they're following the grrm's general outline and just forgetting to make sure everything makes sense.

I only watched the first few episodes and I think it owns that they updated the human character designs to be more detailed and work in HD but haven't touched the animal designs at all which is pretty funny. I didn't keep up with it tho I don't really have an attachment lol

One of the shows that came up in my head while reading this is both seasons of Gatchaman Crowds, which is this big colorful action show that takes a wild twist into basically undermining the entire premise of superheroes into a more collectivist message. I don't agree with everything it says, but I think it's a great example of how anime can be bold and confrontational in ways that I don't see a lot. It's worth getting mad at lol. The music is really good too.
I'm a big fan of GC's director, Kenji Nakamura. He's done a horror show called Mononoke that's incredibly rad and a fun fishing show called Tsuritama. You'd have to pirate it but Welcome to Irabu's Office is super special to me, it's a very weird satire about psychiatry that ends up shockingly kind.
I'm a big fan of slow slice-of-life shows so I'm gonna list a couple. These shows mix bright colors, sweet energy, and dry humor.
Yurucamp: Cool camping theme, the main character is cool cause she isn't super sociable but gets slowly added to the larger group in a way that's respectful and fun to watch.
Flying Witch: This one stands out for a lot of jokes that are very funny but like, surprisingly mean, like mean in a way that only people who didn't have to worry about much would be. It's a dynamic I really like.
K-ON: The joke in this is that they're a band who don't really play instruments that much. It's a good joke that kind of evolves into what the whole show is about.
Non Non Biyori: Set in a rural village that has depopulated, so that all the grades up to high school are in one classroom. All the characters have fun dynamics but there's also this melancholy over everything that's fairly well done.
Hidamari Sketch: This one's in an art high school, it was super influential on the style and is just generally inventive.
I'm gonna end with one last big rec and it's A Place Further than the Universe, it's an incredibly good like, youth drama about Antartica. It's big and emotional and sweeps you along in unexpected ways. It rules so much.
Uhh I'm getting on too long but Masaaki Yuasa owns owns owns and his work is interesting in the way it uses the lower expectations for anime in order to take animation into wilder directions. He's a genius.
Anime owns thank you for reading this!

I don't know if Earthbound is a "kids" game but it definitely was played by kids, at least in Japan. I think EB's status as a cult game here makes it easy to forget that RPGs were much more mainstream in Japan when it came out.
