I don't rewatch my videos that often but I rarely go back to that one because the Apu video because the comment section bums me out and it made me feel bad sometimes But I'm proud of this one, I think I presented the whole situation pretty well

Their support rep was super helpful and reversed the charge right away, but still. Oh sorry, I didn't go back to the desk and instead used the hamper you put right there out in the open. That's crazy that I would do that

Bought this art from @sidvicious.ca for my brother some time back. It's hanging in the room he let me in stay for the past few months. Today's the last day I'll be sharing a room with the Flanders Devil, so this @therealjims.bsky.social video is quite relevant to me today.

New video! ๐Ÿ”ฅ The Devil in The Simpsons has been many people. Flanders, Homer, Bart, Moe, even maybe Herman. They're all over the place with how they've depicted this guy. So for today's Simpsons Histories, let's take a look at that neighborino from down below! ๐Ÿ˜ˆ www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmXd...

Also thanks to Season 16's "Homer and Ned's Hail Mary Pass" for such a good thumbnail pic It is the first time in my life I was extremely excited that that episode exists

I don't mind getting spoiled, the episode still works even if you know about it It was just funny suddenly getting notifications and being like "oh, something just happened" like there was a disturbance in the force

Ugh I'm going to bed now and I am still annoyed at how stupid the Commanders-Giants game was Ugh

I was at the Commanders-Giants game today. That was the dumbest thing I have ever seen in my life

I can't believe I sat in the rain for 5 quarters of football, just to see the game end like that. And it's not even like Giants fans are happy because they clearly pissed away the game. Fire Dan Quinn for making me witness that

I ran my second D&D one-shot for some friends last weekend. It got a really nice reception overall, which was a big confidence builder. But I fear that I am becoming this little friend group's Forever DM ๐Ÿค”

I don't really mind if they end up asking me to do the next one, as it did scratch a storytelling itch. It was fun adapting a basic template from a book and adding my own stuff to it. The improv element is good practice for new skill It's just a lot of work that is hard to juggle with YouTube ๐Ÿ˜ด

The final product ended up being like 30% from the book, 70% TheRealJims original. I think working from a template is good for me as it's easier to not have to come up with a scenario from scratch and just change/add what I want

Saw Forgotten Island last night. I thought it was pretty good overall, with strong theming and a central friendship. But the film is held back by a mediocre supporting cast and an overly wandering Act 2. Still a solid film but I was a bit disappointed after hearing the reviews

My biggest pet peeve of animated films lately is the Finding Nemo format where Act 2 sorta wanders from setpiece to setpiece as an exploration movie. It can be done well (like Nemo) but so many animated films just feel like extended list jokes and the setting never feels like a contiguous world

With Forgotten Island, I didn't feel like the supporting goobers they meet along the way were dynamic/complex enough to make it not feel like a List Joke Movie. I dunno. Puss in Boots The Last Wish did this exploration format much better This was like a Pixar movie meets a Trolls movie at times

Just realized I have no idea what video to do for Halloween this year and haven't done any prep. Will probably watch a few Treehouse of Horrors to see if an idea jumps out at me

Been meaning to do the Treehouse of Horror comics but I always get busy during the summer and never get the prepwork done to do that kind of project. Maybe next year ๐Ÿ™ƒ

New video! ๐Ÿšจ In Season 15, The Sea Captain took a quiz to determine if he is a Patty or a Selma. Because they are soooo different. But is this the case? Is it possible to be a Patty or a Selma? How have the writers differentiated their personalities over the years? ๐Ÿค” www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bHY...

The pic in the first post wasn't the thumbnail, I just though that was the best caption for the Bluesky post. I ended up going with this one, as Patty and Selma don't lend themselves to Exciting Thumbnail Pics. But I feel like this one does show off their vibes a bit, so we'll see how it goes

As much as I hate this video because it was produced during The Busiest Two Weeks Of My Life, I am very amused that I was sick and my voice was not well for the Patty and Selma video

The video turned out good, I like the final product. I'm just kinda bitter that my day job has been so ridiculously busy that I was just exhausted producing this video

I went to the Commanders/Seahawks game last year where they destroyed us and it was not fun. So lol seahawks, pathetic display losing to our backup qb ๐Ÿคฃ

Sirocco is one of my favorite characters in the game. He has this philosophy that is basically "I love women, they are all unique pieces of art, therefore I need to sleep with all of them." But he works for a literal goddess and bristles at others suggesting he just wants to hook up with her

I prefer him over Sylvain (from 3H) who was more of a frat boy womanizer. With Sirocco's deep respect for his goddess, I get the sense that he is just obsessed with women in an admiration sort of way. But he is also the main person who pushes back on Leda's bloodlust. It's a tricky characterization

No, the two are not related. Although I wonder which is delaying me more? It's kinda ironic (given the topic) that I may have to record this video when I have a cold and my voice is not 100% ๐Ÿค”

I guess I get another year where I have to tryhard at fantasy football because my team has no chance of doing anything because Jayden Daniels entire body is cursed About to start my villain arc when it comes to football fandom
