Fair enough, you can go look at that cartoon I found. I got a feeling they're trying a rick and morty kinda thing, but a lot less surreal and a bit more episodic than a full arc sorta thing.

I didn't know it was an adult cartoon til the end of the pilot. Most of that stuff was G rated material back in the 90s...

I remember watching Ren & Stimpy on (I think...) BBC 2 when I was younger, and that was basically that for my young brain's understanding of what cartoons could be like. It blew my tiny little mind (along with stuff by Reeves and Mortimer, which had a similar sort of blend of surrealism and slapstick) and I still find myself referencing it way too often. It's weird how stuff gets stuck in your head.

Also, I've yet to play Final Fantasy 15. I am stuck forever playing and replaying FF9.

In the spirit of sharing cartoons, I am continually plagued by sadness regarding the fact that this was never picked up after an amazing pilot. Mike Mignola's art style animated is wonderful, and the sense of humour, and, well, everything...

@Hylozoist I wrote some filler a while back. Check it for me to see if there's any problems I need to correct?

Let me take a look. I have cake now. I can take on the whole bloody world.

Okay! Initial thoughts - good, great even. Ofromia is in the middle of an Art Deco & Jazzy "Age of Decodence", so Vanessa will fit in there pretty well once you arrive. I've got some other things bubbling away in my brain regarding what it's like, which'll probably make Vanessa even more comfortable there.

The tidally locked idea makes sense. It helps flesh out the relationship between the two peoples. I also need to go and re-watch Girls und Panzer. A friend of mine introduced me to it (after realising that my home office desk is covered with little T-34-85's, some KV-1's, a KV-2 and there's a trio of Cromwells hidden somewhere underneath one of these books somewhere...) and, so, yay, tankery. This also gives me some thoughts about what possible requests for help could stem from the planet, which could present an opportunity to visit the planet within the vague "going out and helping others" framework I'm using.

I shall add it to the directory!

@Hylozoist Oh I remember that pilot. I can see why it never got funded. that looks expensive.

Also if you like tanks. here in the US, its legal to own and drive a tank down the road. Sure you need to disable all the weapons and the main cannon and change the treads to rubber treads, and I think need a trucker license, but you can totally do it.

Who knows, maybe one day it'll happen. I imagine that the cost of getting things animated has generally gone down.

Also - just watched the first episode of Super Science Friends, and liked it a lot. I see that a second episode came out recently, so shall give that a watch later on today. I have only just noticed that it's half past twelve, and I have spent all morning reading, writing and watching cartoons.

Whoops.

Made a small post to move Vanessa out of the way encase we timeskip.

I am now going to eat my cake, drink my tea, and watch this cartoon!

Sorry to be a party pooper. If you really want to talk about stuff like that, stuff that people feel so strongly about that it causes them to turn against each other, then go ahead. I don't mind. I just thought that it would be safer and less stressful for all involved in the long run. And really, we're here to get away from all that, right?

I do like to challenge people myself. Don't feel that you need to impress me though. Just say what's on your mind. I'm very understanding and reasonable.

P much. Just gotta wait for our robot overlords to take over and all problems will be fixed. xD

I already edited in something about the mario universe I found neat. Rosalina being taller than 2 meters is awesome, and Mario being barely taller than a meter is... odd to look at xD.

BTW, toony is now in that dating discussion with Fiddlesticks. I wanted to work a better ennuendo into my post, but I couldnt' get it to work right xD.

I jsut found a new cartoon that looks to show some promise! Its called Super Science Friends! Take a look evreyone, it looks right up @Hylozoist's alley. I know I was laughing pretty hard throught the pilot. It is a semi adult cartoon though.

I am a champion of justice on the Internet. In real life, not so much. And yes, robot overlords will solve all our problems! I for one, welcome our furby overlords.

Don't you worry, Fiddlesticks will do what he do.

I made a post With you two @Archmage MC & @Hylozoist. I forgot to do that while I was writing it up, sorry.

@Hylozoist

I will agree, that pilot was great, so thank you for introducing it and the accompanying disappointment that there is no more.

I'll get a post up tomorrow morning (around... eleven hours from now, I'd guess); I've read the posts that have been posted, but I am so very tuckered out this evening that every attempt I've made to write a coherent in character post has turned out a complete mess. And this is by my standards, where sentences that go on forever and weird asides are considered normal. I ended up showing my friends Super Science Friends and feeding them cake (a semi-successful Charlotte Royale), one of them confessed to having never played Final Fantasy 9, and so rather than doing anything even moderately productive with my evening, I had to sit them down and make them play it for about four hours straight.

So I will get another IC post up at the first available opportunity tomorrow! I feel jolly bad that my posting schedule doesn't align particularly well with everyone, and hope that it won't be too much of a problem going forward. Maybe I should run interviews or something for a co-GM who can handle things during the weekends, and when I'm asleep, and when I should be baking. I'll have a think about it. I should go to sleep now. Posting while half asleep three quarters asleep while in bed is probably a bad idea.

Wait, just one more thing, before I do go to sleep - you're all great. I look forward to reading your posts, to seeing what you come up with, and it's an absolute pleasure to see your creativity, chuckle along at your antics and stay up way past my bedtime to re-read posts. Thanks for your patience and understanding when I've been slow, and for making this whole thing work.

Now, sleep!

OMG I love Final Fantasy IX. It's one of my favourites along with VI and XV. You're avatar is Quina Quen, one of the Qu. @Hylozoist My favourite characters are Vivi & Freya.

My favourite characters are Vivi & Freya.

Good choices! Vivi's character and story is really lovely in particular. I think 9 has remained my favourite of the series for so long because it feels really quite fantastical. After slogging through FF8, which wasn't so bad really, it was nice to go back to something more "traditional" in terms of fantasy. Plus, airships. Plus, Quina. Plus, the soundtrack. Oh god, I need to go and play it again now.

I feel the exact same way about Final Fantasy IX. It was sad how Freyas home town of Burmecia got destroyed but Vivis story was especially tragic. How he never had a home. How he didn't know what he was nor where he belonged. That scene where all those black mages fell out of the sky. Damn that game is amazing.

Now I feel like playing it again! But I'm having too much fun being a bro with my boys in Final Fantasy XV. Maybe later in the year, but spare time is a precious and rare commodity.

I don't like Final Fantasy. I bought 14 to try it, the MMO one. And it turned me off of the entire franchise. It looks pretencous and wayy up its own ass, while also having a horrid story that takes 30+ hours to start. I wouldn't be against trying another one if a fan told me that 14 was easily the worst of the worst for that franchise, but the people playing that game said otherwise so...

Such a shame too, considering they went the Runescape route and let you do everything on one character.

@Hylozoist Thanks for the cartoon enthusiasm, you got me watching all of Gravity Falls again in a big binge. xD. Its nice seeing all the foreshadowing they did.

Gotta like how BMO's VA makes whoever she voices adorable.

I guess it's something you have to have grown up with to be a fan of. I'm skeptical of he mmos myself. I see the series as an introduction to JRPGs.
