Hello everyone~ The megathread is very eepy this week so I am being very quiet and not posting a whole essay as that might disturb their rest. The megathread does a lot of work for us after all, so they deserve to rest a little. Our regularly scheduled effortposts will continue next week.
Nonetheless, I hope that you (yes you!) are doing well, whenever it may be that you happen to be dropping in. I wish you all the best~

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
Recently watched Pacific rim. Surprisingly fun movie. Just a few comments. Mild spoilers for the movie.
Why the fuck are humans not using nukes against kaijus even though nukes seem to be perfectly effective against them, and way more sensible than sending slow ass robot tin cans piloted by people with daddy issues?
Damn, that chain sword thing was really cool. It cut through the kaijis like butter. WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU FIST FIGHTING THE KAIJU WHEN YOU HAVE A SWORD?!?!?
The nerd scientist character is cute, funny and husband material
The singular Japanese girl character who is a martial artist is not treated in a cringe weeby way. Impressive.
My good-enough answer for the sword thing is that they mention in the movie how kaiju blood is a biohazard so its better to grapple with them or use those plasma cannons that cauterize, so the sword was an emergency option, but I think then there shouldve been a line about the consequences of cutting the kaiju in half high above the city.
