Guilty, but he'll get slapped with a fine that he can easily pay, which is the legal system's way of saying that something is legal for only the rich.

A changeling from D&D's Eberron setting. All future fursonas will just be the changeling shapeshifting themself into different forms as and when they please (and getting a change in wardrobe, since they can only shapeshift their body, not their clothes).

An Italian handyman brains me with a huge iron mallet.

Yeah, there's just no way I'm surviving that.

RFK Jr. the type of dude who isn't even capable of passing those 2 DC checks to use the parasite powers.

Comparing his brain worms to the Neurax worm from Plague Inc. would make more sense.

I'm just wondering why there's never been non-canon Marvel/Star Wars crossover comics, where Spider-Man gets teleported to the Jedi Temple shortly before Order 66 and has to protect as many Jedi kids as he can, or Darth Vader fights Doctor Doom, or whatever.

And now dancing with herself? Nintendo should have been stopped

The only criticism I'll accept of that scene is that Peach and Holo-Peach should have danced to Billy Idol's "Dancing with Myself".

As someone who enjoyed both the original Paper Mario and Super Paper Mario, but somehow missed TTYD the first time around, I'm loving the remake.

Are you implying that there are anime girls that are created without the artists intending to make them? I dunno what this question is lol.

I don't think there are any fictional characters created unintentionally, apart from the ones that exist within the minds of people suffering from severe psychoses, of course.

Shapeshifting (specifically into other people, like Mystique and Morph from X-Men, or like Changelings and Doppelgangers from D&D).

I could get into anywhere I wanted, with nobody realizing I'm not supposed to be there.

I could effortlessly disguise myself as anyone I wanted to take the blame or the credit for my actions, or even invent a brand new persona out of whole-cloth just for kicks.

I could con people into giving me free shit just because they think I'm a celebrity.

I could probably steal anything, spy anywhere, or harm anyone (physically or otherwise) I wanted to, and nobody would be likely to figure out it was me as long as I'm able to avoid capture before I can shapeshift again (the trick is to shapeshift into the desired form well in advance, wait for the cooldown to expire before doing the thing, and then shapeshift into a new form to get out of trouble) and am careful enough to avoid being seen shapeshifting.

I could tank anyone's reputation by stealing their identity and doing things that their families, friends, and/or fans hate.

I could even send powerful governments toppling down just by impersonating their leaders and torpedoing everything from within.

Even with the heavy nerf of a 24-hour cooldown between uses, this is still giving me carte blanche to go on an unstoppable crime spree. And that is, inevitably, what it will end up being used to do. It's like Plato's idea of the Ring of Gyges: absolute power of anonymity corrupts anyone absolutely.

This is fucked up.

How is this legal?

Because nobody with the authority to enforce the relevant laws wants to enforce them when Trump and his rotten band of fascists are the ones constantly breaking them, either because they're afraid of being seen as "too political" (e.g. the FBI) or because they're firmly on his side (e.g. local and state law enforcement, the entire judiciary branch).

If he wanted to take part in a right-wing coup, he could have just stayed home and joined the Trump campaign.

Batman will be at least on-par with Zenigata in terms of keeping up with Lupin. Beyond that, it largely depends on what kind of story the writer wants to tell.

Take bets how many present GOP politicians would vote for the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.

All of them.

I don't see Lord Gaben taking that low of an offer, and unless he's dying I don't think he will ever sell.

And given his history with Microsoft, I doubt he'd sell to them.

Plot twist: Gaben sells it all off to Nintendo.

I wish for the ability to reshape reality as and when I see fit, including the ability to decide who lives and who dies.

How about instead, Microsoft sells off the entirety of the Xbox division (and all their various acquired gaming companies within it, like Bethesda, Double Fine, ActiBlizz, etc., as well as the IPs those companies continue to hold) to Valve? That seems considerably more sensible, considering that Microsoft has, by and large, lost money over the decades in their attempts to get a foothold in the gaming industry.

No, no, let them try it. It'll be funny.

I remember loving the hell out of it, but it's very different from the first two games. If you're a big fan of how the N64 game and The Thousand-Year Door played, it might not necessarily be your cup of tea.

The Merry Men align closest with my political ideology, despite the fact that their leader is a noble and a devoted monarchist. The Brotherhood of Mutants would be my runner-up, assuming that Magneto is in charge and not Mystique.

Some folks would be perfectly happy with having three of their own limbs chopped off if someone they look down on (or better yet, outright hate) got four of theirs chopped off, too. Hence why non-rich white supremacists and LGBT-phobes (especially the ones who are dirt-poor and living in the ass-end of rural America) keep voting Republican even though the GOP is actively fucking them over too.

As I keep saying, they forgot all about the "or" that's supposed to go in the middle of that phrase.

Do none of these CEOs understand that if you don't make time for maintenance of the spirit, for self care, your body will make it for you with medical issues, mental issues, or other pitfalls?

You cannot work hard with a broken or ill maintained foundation, not for long at least. Though as modern business culture seems to be trending into "line go up today and tomorrow it's somebody else's problem" maybe that's the intent. Grind your workforce into nothing within a year, two years, then let a successor or private equity firm figure out how to salvage it

That, and they're likely banking on just immediately getting new cogs to replace the old, broken ones in their machine, but only when they can't just make the remaining workforce work more and harder to make up for the losses.

so are they good or

Yes. Very much so.

The entire trilogy broke records by being nominated for 30 Oscars (including Best Picture for all three), and winning 17. 11 of those were won by the third film, Return of the King, which won every Oscar it was nominated for.

Something the Batman IPncould learn from the Monster movie IPs:

Batman is the monster
Film from the perspective of the criminals (joker/penguin/two face goons) slowly but steadily getting picked off one by one by a Batman with very little screen time while desperately trying to complete the heist they were hired to complete and may be killed for failing

Like Reservoir Dogs, if it suddenly became a slasher flick (minus the actual deaths, of course; Batman can otherwise be as brutal as Jason or Michael if the director, studio, and writers want him to be) partway through.

Welp, guess I know what game isn't going to get released in Florida.

No amount of money is worth that nightmare.

I'm not sure Trump even thinks of his cultists (or really, anyone in the world) as being people, let alone gives much of a damn about what they're doing apart from blindly worshiping him.

I would have preferred to get the bonobo virus, if I had to contract a virus that mutates humans into Pan genus species at all. Bonobos are generally very chill and friendly, while chimpanzees are basically the total opposite.

I, for one, welcome our new cetacean overlords.

It legit annoys me when it gets that hot so early and people are like omg iTs So NiCe OuT

This. If it's not snowing and I'm not in an air-conditioned building, I'm roasting. Mostly because it's so damned humid.

Let me guess: Gaben didn't fellate the Muskrat's enormous yet fragile ego, and the Muskrat took it personally?

Being blissfully ignorant of just how utterly fucked everything is.

If anything, either the US would build Midgar itself, or Shinra would rapidly economically dominate the entire world including the US from their seat of power in Midgar, not unlike how they did it in FF7.

When even Floridian cops think you're too much of a sick freak for their liking.

I expect I'll be murdered by fascists well before I hit my 70s.

Life uh... Finds a way and they all make a thriving far right community then invade nearby islands and take over the ocean

With the MAGAts out of the American voter rolls, it shouldn't be too hard to convince an actual functional US government that they're a threat to vital trading partners and that they should, at the very least, be blockaded.

Convince them to abandon America entirely to live together on an island somewhere in the ocean (which presumably can't support all of them), and then strand them all there.

I'm not a murderer, but I do frequently fantasize about conquering the world with an army of the undead.

Five bucks says that the right-wing will generally respond to this by calling for the targeted, deliberate extinction of all the species featured in the documentary.

The only human known to have existed on Pangea was Charles Montgomery Burns.

I'm assuming Musk is a huge X-Men fan?

If he is, then he clearly missed the point of the entire franchise starting with at least Claremont's original run.

Didn't he want to change Paypal to X as well during the short time he was on their board?

It was "X" before it was PayPal. The Muskrat's original x.com had merged with Confinity (which had a payment system called "PayPal"), and then Peter Thiel (in a rare W for him) kicked him off the merged company's board and changed the website/company's name from Muskrat's stupid obsession to that of the existing payment system.

Because Fandom at least has enough good sense to flip the bird at the Muskrat.
