Stream Schedule W/E December 6
Here's the upcoming schedule as promised.
The stream days have been cut back and stream times have been rather dramatically changed, for which I apologize. However, my job, for the next month, has set start time so early that this is the only tenable option. Tonight we will be continuing the new ZZZ story Precipice of the Abyss! Tuesday we will discover what this tournament we've been enrolled in really means in Disgaea: Cursed Memories. Thursday, we will continue our attempt to build a base on Apocalypse Mode in the Unstable Beta of Project Zomboid. Finally we will round out the week with a later but much longer stream as we sit down and comb through the lore in the new Genshin Impact chapter Nocturne of the Far North!
Due to my somewhat insane work schedule, stream times for he week are now 3pm EST/ 7pm UTC except for Saturday, which baring any new interference from the IRL RNG will be at 6pm EST/ 10pm UTC.
Stop by, say "Hi!" and bully a streamer over at https://www.twitch.tv/brickmuppet

K-Pop Demon Hunters
Watch this trailer:
There is no way this film is not bad.
In fact it is not merely bad, it is GLORIOUSLY, AMAZINGLY, EPICALLY, WONDEROUSLY bad.
Perhaps a better description would be "unpretentious".
This film is exactly what it says on the tin. It delivers exactly what it promises (K-Pop singers fighting demons aaaand K-Pop). To say any more would involve spoilers.
This is one of the few films I've seen in the last few years where I actually laughed out loud at points.
K-Pop Demon Hunters is goofy, touching at points, and bone-crushingly dumb at others and I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Go watch this film. It delivers what it promises and that is a joyous thing in current year.

Having NAILED the FA, May He Soon Be familiarized With the FO Part of the Process
Cdr. Salamander has thoughts on the recent calls from certain congresscritters for the military to mutiny. While he points out the issues with Senator Kelly's participation in this fiasco in particular, he is looking at it from a legislative and procurement context primarily.
The War Dept. is looking into the matter from the perspective of the U.C.M.J.
This has kept me up at night for about a week. I've got a degree in History. I know where this numbnuttery leads.
There is a lot of talk right now of civil unrest.
If it comes, it will not be anything like 1860-65.
It will be like Spain in 1936.
If you are one of the smooth-brains who are actually enthusiastic about such an event (and there are such moral lobotomites on both the left and the right) then I suggest that you read up on the conflict.
It is high octane nightmare fuel.

SURPRISE AMAZON FIREWORKS!
In about 30 minutes, ( 2pm EST/ 6pm UTC) Brickmuppet Channel will be covering the launch of ESCAPADE, the latest US Mars mission, which will launch from Cape Canaveral today at around 2:45pm EST./ 6:45pm UTC. Not only is this only the second launch of Jeff Bezos' New Glenn rocket, but they will try to land the booster on a ship at sea! This maximizes the potential for explosive mishaps!
So join us in chat as we cheer for the progress of humanity and the um...Rocketry of the overlords of Twitch....as we react to whatever happens and cheer for (or at) team Twitch! (yay) ALSO POSSIBLE 'SPLODIES! The channel is at https://www.twitch.tv/brickmuppet
Update: I've had streams ruined by all sorts of things. mostly P.E.B.K.A.C. on my part but I've NEVER had one tanked by cumulus clouds until today.

So: I actually cut my Friday stream short because I had to go to work early. On the way to work, I had a flat tire. No problem, I've changed MANY tires. Even less problem: The flat happened before I got off my street, so I could back into my driveway. Turns out, that little extra bit of driving meant the lug bolts ground into the hubcap and tire after over an hour of trying to get the tire off the jacked up car I sat down to catch my breath...which is when I realized I'd been rolling around in dog poop. The day is not off to an optimal start.

A Disquisition on Tuckertardation
I have always had a great deal of respect for Dinesh D'Souza. He is smart, respectful, and literate. He's also one of the few old school conservatives who has not had his brain addled by TDS*. Here he sits down with the Triggernometry guys and has a wide ranging discussion on the situation we face and the often self inflicted challenges that the American right faces.
Well worth an hour and a half of your time.
*I'm an old school conservative and have had my trepidations about 45/47 which I went into in some detail here and here. Trump's performance in his second term have mostly, but not completely allayed those fears.

Genshin 6.1
Genshin Impact is a free to play, online, gacha game. This means that expectations are rather low. However the game has, over the 18 months that I've played it, actually impressed me with its storytelling.
What starts out as a bog-standard fantasy game (with, God help, me isekai elements) develops over the first few scenarios into something quite unique.
Then it gets really strange
And awesome..
Over the last 5 years (or 18 months if you're speed running it like me) Genshin Impact has drip-fed its players a quirky, interesting and exceedingly deep, & detailed backstory for the world in which the player finds him/her self.
This drip feed has been quite entertaining and thoughtful, providing a very well realized world and that worlds history which one uncovers different layers of , as one wanders across the planet of Teyvat exploring each country and discovering how their histories and challenges tie into the larger story. Amazingly the characters one encounters are well written, and well realized.
With the 2 latest updates, however. this drip feed has stopped.
It's been replaced with a firehose.
Genshin's 6.1 update story was "all that and a bowl of grits". Exceptionally well written, with excellent character development, surprises galore, and building on the previous story in a believable way, An Elegy for Faded Moonlight ties together or clarifies more than half a dozen plot threads, some of which had appeared to just be flavor text. It resolved the current in-game crisis in a most satisfying way, while simultaneously setting up foundations for future mayhem. The only online game I've seen that has anything on a par with this is Final Fantasy14 with its award winning Heavensward update from a decade ago. This really was a 9/10 out of 10, and exceeded even the high expectations I have come to have of this game.
My only concern is that the next updates will be hard pressed to live up to this. But given the tightness of the story and how well it integrates elements from the beginning of the game, I do hold out some hope that this is not a fluke and they've really been working towards a coherent and satisfying ending.
Fingers are crossed. But as of now, it's looking quite good.

Strim Schedule
Next week's schedule is up!
Monday we will proceed from where we left off Thursday with the climactic battle of Zenless Zone Zero's quite impressive MEMORIES OF DREAMS BYGONE! ZZZ continues to advance the story at a breakneck pace, so this should be quite fun.
Tuesday we will do a bit more grinding in the item world of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness as we prepare for...
Wednesday's assault on the game's final boss!
Thursday we will be up late with version 6.1 of Genshin Impact , the eagerly anticipated Elegy of Faded Moonlight! (there might be an intermission around 10pm EDT that will contain zombies. However, if so we will return to Genshining after sacred honor has beenb served)
Friday is a little up in the air: There might be a new game, a Movie, or we might continue with Elegy of Faded Moonlight!

Thoughts on the "Right" vs Conservatives
Part of the issue is the large influx of essentially leftist men to the Republicans escaping the diversity bullies. Bernie Bros form a huge part of Trump's coalition, and they did not becone conservative in the process, most of them are still shitlibs, but cosplaying in Americana because doing so angers their tormentors on the left.
American conservatism has always been 'Liberal" in the classical and continental sense. What it seeks to "conserve" are enlightenment values. There is a strong respect, and sometimes arguably a reverence for traditions because those generally ARE beta tested by time.
The first change in this was in 1980, when the evangelicals were driven out of the progressive movement (which they had founded and been the backbone of for over a century). I would argue that the Evangelicals are philosophically and neurologically still progressives because they have a broad affinity for big government and frequently cannot imagine that they might go too far in their cause. This reflects the same pathologies on the left, though there is FAR more dissent on these points amongst religious conservatives.
The new right is basically a bunch of bitter, resentful socialists and communists racists and antisemites who adopt the iconography and fashion of U.S. patriotism in the same manner as the leftists of the 1930s. They like their more overtly leftist counterparts wear such norms as a skinsuit. To a large extent this is a result of them being shat on by the diversity goons since they were able to talk, as well as the abominable state of history and civics education This is, in turn exacerbated by a focus by their Gramscian educators on a very smooth brained and unthoughtful (oppressor/oppressed) view of society, and, ironically, the lesson that has been drilled into their heads by these same oppressors, that all politics is immoral power games and that oppressors are intrinsically justified in any atrocities that they do.
In my experience, many of them see civility and compromise as being as the intersection of stupidity and evil.
This all has the potential to go quite pear shaped.
Especially since the alternative to this potential looming horror, is, if anything worse.

MOVIE NIGHT!
TONIGHT at 9:30pm EDT/1am UTC join us for a short spooky movie festival as we look at some silent films for SPOOPY MONTH. First up is a French film from 1896 (or 1899 sources vary) A TERRIBLE NIGHT which documents EXACTLY what it says on the tin. Then Thrill to a science fantasy from 1912 in Georges Méliès CONQUEST OF THE POLE (note this is about Arctic exploration and not bullying an Eastern European) Finally, we will be showing a good copy of Thomas Edison's FRANKENSTEIN (1910). We showed the last two about two years ago, but these are better copies. Since these are all fairly short we will follow the films with some Q&A before doing a bit of vidya gaming. Grab some popcorn, stop by say "Hi!" and do your best (sfw) MST3K trolling in chat. The channel's at https://www.twitch.tv/brickmuppet
