Groundhog day rules because once a year everyone pretends to care about what some fat rodent thinks, and then goes about their life.

Hey... Phil's under a HUGE amount of pressure every year. He didn't want to be the Chosen One, having to predict the weather in the weird human ceremonies. I will always stand up for Punxsutawney Phil for handling things so well. I can DEFINITELY say I would not perform as well as him as a forecaster.

I respect him but I think he leans too hard on his family's legacy as an excuse to slack. Dude has been wrong so many times but still gets to have a silly ceremony about it...

I don't really like this new one, but I spent a whole evening writing it up and it was on my to-do list anyway.

oh, the whole story about doobl was interesting. it was pretty obvious it was fake, everything was happening too quickly, but a decent little meta story, nonetheless. i’m sad that the modern era is too cynical to truly enjoy stuff like this or ‘hogwarts school of prayer and miracles’ anymore…

I've thought about what a modern version of a "fictional creator breakdown" would be like but it wouldn't work unless someone was a really, really dedicated troll and tried to make an online presence and fake something to get called out for, etc. It really was a product of its time...

I deleted today's update because it was literally housekeeping (fixing typos and bad grammar on old pages), but I forgot I added a new little dude on the capybara shrine: https://hardmachine.neocities.org/shrine/capybara#fictional

I'd be lying if I said the capy didn't tempt me to buy this game on sale, but I am not a poker fan. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1912420/Sunshine_Shuffle/

omg I recognize some of these clips from social media, but I assumed they were recent edgy social media fodder. I never would heave guessed they came from a show from the early 2000s! great read and I'd be interested to check out the show!! is it streaming anywhere?

I adore Wonder Showzen and kinda treasure how hard I had to work to grab crunchy, disparate clips of the show from across the internet because it wasn't airing/licensed in Australia but all my American friends watched it. "Celebrate Our Differences" sometimes pops into my head lol.

I saw this show on the TV guide so many times and never watched it. I'm missing out... thank you for the write up. The second you said Xavier Renegade Angel, I knew I need to see this.

I realize this layout is kind of a nightmare for galleries with a lot of images, which is why I added instructions... 😭
I have a review in progress for this month, but I got burnt out and it'll be done later than today.
I added a "new" (old) drawing, by the way.
