    In Redwall, there's a horse and carriage.  The horse does not talk (all other mammals in the series are sentient). 

    It's so jarring, and there's also mentions of pigs and leather, and I'm wondering how in the world this works and what the implications are.

    Also, yep, Asmodeus is still absolutely terrifying and Not Okay Very Bad No Go Away Bad Bad No No Bad.  
    It's way more violent than I remember, though the tv show might have colored those memories...


  • Now all I can think of is that one scene where that one soldier's wearing the big rat leader's helmet, and then he gets sniped by an arrow

    oh yeah, i remember it kind of seemed like they were living in human margins, too, which they obviously dropped. isn't there a mention of village dogs or something?

    ^Yeah, a dog tells Methuselah about Cluny and his horde.  Were there dogs in the later books?

    Yeah, and Cluny the Scourge is a Portugese rat.

    And the shrews can speak the bee language.

    Horse is an exception, he chooses not to speak.

    I mean, if a moose and a squirrel and talk in that universe...

    Even as a kid, I knew it was stupid that the trees that the sparrows live in were as big as real-life trees, but somehow Redwall had an orchard tended by mice.  Like, they didn't even try to hide it in the animated series that the scale of the trees didn't work.

  • I watched a documentary about The Emperor's New Groove and how it went from being a romantic musical epic thing called Kingdom of the Sun to being the buddy comedy we know it as today

    I feel like it would have probably been a good film with time if they went with its original storyline, but of course the executives at Disney weren't satisfied with it and retooled it a ton; the final film is still a really good one (I'm watching it now and it does still hold up), but of course you can't help but wonder what it could have been

    either way Eartha Kitt would've been involved and she was easily the best part of it, so there's that
  • edited 2016-04-26 02:00:36
    We can do anything if we do it together.
    My stance is what happened with the people who worked on the original film was a shame, and that the original film probably would've been very good.

    However, it would've been in an idiom I have zero interest in, so as someone who really likes The Emperor's New Groove, I'm pretty content with the way things worked out.
  • kill living beings
    i like the original concept

    incan embalming stuff was legit pretty weird

    You found The Sweatbox somewhere?

    Also, I find it weird how it seems like Disney has to force their creatives to have fun, at least in the years before they bought Pixar and their influence permeated the whole company

    I'm gonna do it guys

    This is it

    We're finally gonna find out what happens when I plug my magic wand into a 10-watt USB phone charger!!

    This is usually the part where Ash puts on goggles

    Are... are you sure you want to do this to your wand?

    Won't that void the warranty?

    Pff, I voided the warranty on this long long ago.

    It turns out the manufacturer disapproves of using it to fight sharks.
  • Munch munch, chomp chomp...
    The last time you used that you ended up turning a number of my dolls into a... monstrosity, frankly put, little one. So no, you will just have to find some other venue.

    I am tempted to say we should change our font to Noto Sans but it's just a variation of Steve Matteson's Droid Sans/Open Sans design so I'm not sure anybody would actually be able to tell the difference if we did.
  • the clear and obvious choice for our new sitewide font is clearly Motter Tektura Italic
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i don't think you should change the font

    i remember Open Sans rendered very poorly on my computer, the site became almost unreadable for a time

    ...I forgot that you block the Google Fonts script, so you don't see Open Sans like the rest of us.

    ...I've been using Xubuntu so long that I forgot the default Xfce layout has a traditional menu for "Applications" instead of the whisker menu.
  • I miss Xubuntu

    I'm tempted to try to find myself a cheap computer of some sort to either play with it or Chrome OS on, like old times

    Another political thing Little Alice didn't understand: government debt.

    Like, the government makes the laws, right? So just make a law that says the government doesn't actually have to pay back its creditors. Problem solved!

    that's called defaulting, and is generally really bad because it destroys pretty much all trust.
    Little Alice's response would have been: "You don't need trust! You just make a law that says certain groups are required to 'lend' the government money and the government is not required to pay them back. Then you throw anyone who tries to fight against this in jail."

    isn't that just taxation tho
    Well, I mean when you put it that way, yeah, but Little Alice didn't really think these things through.
    not only that, the trust i was thinking of in part included, you know, other countries
    Fascist Child Alice's response probably would have been "other countries have to obey our laws too, as long as we have a military to threaten them with"

    I'm starting to think that Little Alice wasn't a very good person

    Semantics question:

    What is a switch? Does it have to have a mechanical component?

    Like, if you have two pins, and they can be connected by a jumper that has to be manually installed or removed, is that a switch? Or is it only a switch if there's some fixed piece that can be toggled in place?
  • kill living beings
    i would probably just call it a jumper, but it could be considered a switch.

    I'm always terrified when I pull the keys off scissor-switch style keyboards

    They're so fucking easy to break, or lose pieces
  • Splat Charger Specialist
    That is so, which is why I had to lifehack the frick outta my bluetooth keyboard earlier, but I had though this one hand't worked, so I figured "Eh, why not dvorak this bitch?"

    And so I did, and it turns out it works anyway.

  • What the fuck is going on with the weather right now?

    It's snowing.
  • My dad brought home a "I <3 Hooters" sticker once and gave it to me. Needless to say, it was an uncomfortable experience.

    I'm tempted to just cut the heart out and throw the rest out. I love me some stickers, but I gotta draw the line somewhere.

  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Oceans drifting sideways,
    I am pulled into the spell;
    I feel you around me... I know you well.
    Stars slice horizons where the lines stand
    much too stark;
    I feel I am drowning... hands stretch in the dark.

    Camps of panoply and majesty,
    what is Freedom of Choice?
    Where do I stand in the pageantry...
    whose is my voice?
    It doesn't feel so very bad now:
    I think the end is the start.
    Begin to feel very glad now:

    All things are a part
    All things are apart
    All things are a part.
