I think this applies to a lot of situations. While I know sports aren’t popular around these parts, I want to use one as an example. Read more

I tell my son this all the time, as well as all of my friends. Something about tensing up just causes you to make very poor decisions, but in video games, it also causes you to make stress decisions. You’ll push buttons too hard or press them too fast. You’ll make trigger happy pulls on the shoulder buttons. And… Read more

My girlfriend LOVES playing New Super Mario U. Deluxe, but cannot seem to relax when playing it. Tense grip, moving the controller all over the place, just highly anxious. But playing Mario Kart? Cool as a cucumber. I’ll have to send her these Pro-Tips and see if it helps. Thanks Gita! Read more

Revolutionary Girl Utena is probably the closest spiritually to Evangelion that there is, while still remaining very much it’s own unique thing.  Read more

Anime hipster time. I’d add Space Runaway Ideon which was the second series created by Yoshiyuki Tomino following the success of Mobile Suit Gundam. However, due to his depression it is much darker (like MSG’s follow up Zeta Gundam) than its predecessor. It also very clearly influenced the creation of Neon Genesis… Read more

“Planet With” would be another good one to throw on here as well maybe in place of Gridman depending on which old-school, Japanese kid show you favor as a base. Read more

Just gonna drop some images here. [SOME SPOILERS AHEAD YA’LL]

I mean, love is a pretty useless and vague word in English too. He could love him as a friend, as a brother, as a sexual partner, as a tasty food, as an example of vulnerable humanity. I love my dog and sushi. It’s everything else about the scene that’s important. Read more

From what humans have done to the oceans I think mermaids have the right to be dicks about it  Read more

I felt like I would be underwhelmed but I’m not. Sulani is so gorgeous and feels so different from any other neighborhood. You feel like every native really has their own story and you fit into it. Communing with the native spirits, wildlife, etc is fun. The conservationist career is really fun but mostly only if you… Read more

I recently had one of my sims join the conservationist career. Its pretty sweet. At the higher level of the management branch your sims can campaign for public policy/enact policy that affects every neighborhood in the game and write grant applications that can earn your sims $800-$1,286 from submitting them.

If the article has taught me anything, it’s that you should now lure someone into the water and try to drown them to refill your bars.  It’ll at least make you feel better. Read more
