god I should stop reading online discussions on fighting games. Every single justification I've read for people wanting characters to be locked before playing some amount of single player (or even comparing older games with locked characters, to modern DLC characters???) is so fucking silly. Christ
#le ramblings#mcfighty games tag#rant#“I remember when you had to play the game to unlock characters and not buy them!!!”#NO YOU FUCKING DIDN'T. YOU BOUGHT. THE LATER VERSION OF A GAME WHICH WAS A GLORIFIED PATCH.#SOLD AS A SEPARATE. UPGRADED VERSION OF THE GAME.#FOR FULL RETAIL PRICE.#Piecemeal DLC characters may be an absolute annoyance especially since they almost never let you lab them without buying them first#but jesus christ this is not worse than the old model FGs had for adding new characters/balance updates#Comparing locked characters to post-launch dlc characters is so silly too#A locked character back then wpuld just be an unlocked base roster character now#a DLC character now wouldn't be a locked character back then. They'd be in the FUCKING LATER VERSION. THAT YOU BUY. AT RETAIL PRICE.#Locked characters back then were already IN the game. dipshit.#god. use your brain to think on something for more than 10 seconds at a time#yes I browsed r/gaming. Famously bad idea. I am aware.#still full of dipshit takes#long post

the only unrealistic or impossible to believe thing in the entire lotr movie series is how frodo and sam maintain their luxurious hobbit curls all the way to mordor
#lord of the rings#lotr#lotr films#lord of the rings movies#peter jackson lord of the rings#samwise gamgee#frodo baggins#i caved and rented the theatrical edition of tt from amazon because my soul desperately needs it right now#the extended edition of fellowship was a reasonable price but they jacked it up for the other two and the ee are way more expensive#so i had to grit my teeth and settle for the theatrical releases#it's an open secret that my brother is getting me the full extended edition boxset for christmas#(by ''open secret'' i mean ''i sent him a list of retailers that sell it and at what price'')#but i couldn't emotionally wait until christmas to continue my re-re-re-re-watch

So you guys think we will be getting Side Order amiibo? If we do im guessing the lineup would likely be Acht, Pearl Bot and an agent 8 (likely the girl one) but I could see another Marina, goopy fish enemy's, agent 4 or characters we haven't been introduced to yet I just hope we get amiibos like we did for Octo expansion
#Still begging for an Octo pack restock at retail price I can't spent $60 on 3 small figures after having grabbed up so many recently#Splatoon#Side order#To have a full set excluding recolors I need the octo pack' orange inkling girl' pink inkling girl and Big Man#I got the rest of Deep Cut but they were out of Big Man when I got there because I didn't remember when they came out#If I could snatch some of the recolor very cheap I probably would but damn amiibo are expensive#Local game store has the swim form octo loose for $50 and I just can't justify that#Avoiding ebay and amazon like the plague for amiibo buying too much of a pain if there's problems#Give us king salmonid amiibos nintendo I'm begging I need a cohozuna one#Villains would be nice too and Judd

so basically a few weeks ago paul bellini sent me two signed mouth congress vinyls as a late birthday present slash gift for running the mouth congress social media and i thought i'd post a vinyl tour bc there's so many cool details here! this is gonna be a long post bc the lyric booklet that came with waiting for henry is pretty much a full zine and i really love all the effort they put into it
contents:
waiting for henry double LP (signed by scott and paul!)
ahhhh the pollution 7" (signed by scott and paul!)
Mouth Congress button (did not know this was a thing so it was just a fun little bonus gift he threw in)
first, close up photo of the sticker on the waiting for henry cover:
next pictures of each of the vinyls:
the lighting was a bit off in these pictures but the vinyls are so beautiful it's unreal. ahhhh the pollution is a translucent bright orange, the first half of waiting for henry is beige, and the second half is this beautiful bright blue that looks like blue rasperry candy. i'm always a sucker for colorful vinyls (i just picked up a copy of "take the sadness out of saturday night" by bleachers on a seaglass vinyl the other day) and i wasn't sure if they had any left so the fact that both releases are on such beautiful vinyl is amazing
next we have the zine!! here's the cover:
the first few pages are a short summary of the mouth congress story as told by paul himself, along with a few pictures of the band members from their college days:
after that we have a fictitious profile of the band written by aviva avoovoo (a freelance writer character created by paul bellini) where she visits the mouth congress chalet and discovers the "dark secrets" that lie within. it's so funny and surreal but i didn't want to post every page of it so instead i'll focus on this old vaguely-cursed pic of paul that accompanied the writing:
once we're done with the fictional side of things there's a two-page spread of cassettes mouth congress put together in the 80s/90s that they released in an attempt to promote the band. each cassette description has a list of featured songs, some of which were later put on "ahhhh the pollution" or "waiting for henry" and some of which i'd never heard about previously and am very intrigued by. i took close-up pics of these two specifically since they're the ones i most want to look into from that page
specifically i really wanna learn more about madam alphonsa. who is she. she's mentioned in "me on my off hours" and makes an appearance on "madamifesto" and "let's hear it for show business." they mentioned in the mouth congress documentary that kevin used to play madam alphonsa's husband. several characters scott played in mouth congress were later done on kids in the hall but madam alphonsa is my new lost media obsession.
after that we have a solid six pages of scott and paul interviewing each other. again it's very long so i'm not posting everything but it was a very good interview which makes me love the band even more and it also had this picture with it:
more old pictures (look how young scott and paul look in the bottom right one i'm losing my mind):
centerfold:
then we have at least 10 pages of lyrics for every song on waiting for henry as well as short blurbs about the story behind each song which was really cool and might be its own post someday, but last but not least i wanted to leave you with my favorite part of the mouth congress zine: the word search
legit took this pic just so i could highlight the words digitally and not draw on the actual zine but oh my god i had so much fun doing this. unironically i think every vinyl should come with a thematically linked word search. it really just goes to show how much joy and effort scott and paul put into everything mouth congress does and i'm so honored i get to be part of their story at the level where i can get something like this autographed and sent to me for free (and also might get free admission to an upcoming mouth congress show if i help them set up beforehand and film the show?? like paul you do realize i would pay VIP prices for this but thank you for doing it for free?? also thank you for asking how my own musical went and genuinely caring about the answer???)
anyway this got a little rambly towards the end but my point is. queercore punk is truly the genre of all time and mouth congress is so fucking great nobody is going it like them
#mouth congress#scott thompson#paul bellini#kids in the hall#vinyl collection#vinyl records#kids in the hall/mouth congress fans come get y'all juice i have new content for youuu#legit even if this wasn't personally autographed. even if i wasn't a friend of the band. even if i didn't even like the music#this would still be my favorite vinyl i own#vinyl is annoyingly expensive and this is the only vinyl i've gotten where i'm like ''yeah this is worth paying $50''#but no the retail price on waiting for henry is $30#and i got it for FREE. SIGNED even#with their EP and a BUTTON too!#also it's very funny to me that paul bellini constantly uses my full name (jessamine) instead of a nickname like jess like most people do#at this point i'm pretty sure he just thinks my name is cool which yeah fair it is#theory that if i was named something super generic this wouldnt have happened#but since i have such a strange name it sticks with people and leads to networking opportunities lmao

man having big sale (bc our store is closing) really draws out the stupid in people
"how much does this cost" *tells them* "ok and how much is this *holds up exact same thing but different colour*" "and what about this one *holds up same thing, again, in the same colour as the first*"
"what is this? is it for your hair? *hands me a vibrator*"
"when are you closing?" "on the 10th :)" "oh okay october 10th?" (asked today, november 1st)
"you dont have these boots in the size i need :( can i come back tomorrow?" girl we havent had anything new come in for like almost two months nothing will change in a day
#that one person with a basket full of shit who first thing told me they wanted me to check the price for everything first#i am strangling them with my mind#it took so fucking long for what?? 80% of this probably still had their price in front of it#and ohhh 70% discount hard but use your goddamn phone it has a calculator#retail#also tablecloth my beloathed#at least these people were really nice but MAN

@cina-full-moon-xanadium replied to your post:
would you believe he was not even available to vote for
that's literally insane!!!! a character everyone generally likes, with a unique mold compared to most ultra figures, and he's part of a trio (and by extension, technically speaking, a Main ultra) so there's obviously strong demand from collectors. they are OPPRESSING ultraman taiga fans (ME) 😤😡
#tregear and horobi at retail price is a good deal tho i just looked up their current prices and my goodness#cina full moon xanadium#kendrix morgan died for our sins#ultraman for ts

Look what I got for $40 from BookOutlet!!
They said these are liquidated overstock so they might have marker lines on the pages/spines and stuff, but only London Calling does (and it’s just a little black dot on the bottom of the pages, though there’s a pretty sizable chip gone out of the back cover, unfortunately). The rest are minty fresh, still sealed in the shrink wrap! These would have been $165 if I’d bought them all at MSRP (which I was tempted to years ago, but thankfully didn’t). $9 for any kind of art book is awesome, especially ones as big and chunky as these 😱 can’t wait to look through em!!
#overwatch#overwatch 2#these art books retailed for $45 a few years ago and tbh. i can see why they ended up with this much overstock lol#cool concepts but like did they really need FOUR full priced artbooks for this game lmao#feel like stuff could have been combined here#but anyways! got all 4 of these for less than the MSRP of 1 of them so I’m happy

We need a recovering know-it-all support group
#i AM getting better i swear to god#somebody donated their knitting kit to the shop today and at no point did i say ‘i have 18 years of knitting experience HAND IT OVER#and i’ll value it’. i had to let them dither and they priced it at £10 :/#which honestly.. there was a full set of needles in there so that would’ve been worth £5 alone#the patterns which were all just printed out and rolled up with an elastic band around them would’ve been worth very little though#same for the yarn which was acrylic and various different incomplete balls#the bag itself was fine. decently large project bag and it zipped up. £2 secondhand i’d say#working retail is really an exercise in getting over myself a lot of the time#you can’t have an ego when all you do is stab bad clothes with a pricing needle#personal

Opinion Here’s how to get free Paxlovid as many times as you need it
When the public health emergency around covid-19 ended, vaccines and treatments became commercial products, meaning companies could charge for them as they do other pharmaceuticals. Paxlovid, the highly effective antiviral pill that can prevent covid from becoming severe, now has a list price of nearly $1,400 for a five-day treatment course.
Thanks to an innovative agreement between the Biden administration and the drug’s manufacturer, Pfizer, Americans can still access the medication free or at very low cost through a program called Paxcess. The problem is that too few people — including pharmacists — are aware of it.
I learned of Paxcess only after readers wrote that pharmacies were charging them hundreds of dollars — or even the full list price — to fill their Paxlovid prescription. This shouldn’t be happening. A representative from Pfizer, which runs the program, explained to me that patients on Medicare and Medicaid or who are uninsured should get free Paxlovid. They need to sign up by going to paxlovid.iassist.com or by calling 877-219-7225. “We wanted to make enrollment as easy and as quick as possible,” the representative said.
Indeed, the process is straightforward. I clicked through the web form myself, and there are only three sets of information required. Patients first enter their name, date of birth and address. They then input their prescriber’s name and address and select their insurance type.
All this should take less than five minutes and can be done at home or at the pharmacy. A physician or pharmacist can fill it out on behalf of the patient, too. Importantly, this form does not ask for medical history, proof of a positive coronavirus test, income verification, citizenship status or other potentially sensitive and time-consuming information.
But there is one key requirement people need to be aware of: Patients must have a prescription for Paxlovid to start the enrollment process. It is not possible to pre-enroll. (Though, in a sense, people on Medicare or Medicaid are already pre-enrolled.)
Once the questionnaire is complete, the website generates a voucher within seconds. People can print it or email it themselves, and then they can exchange it for a free course of Paxlovid at most pharmacies.
Pfizer’s representative tells me that more than 57,000 pharmacies are contracted to participate in this program, including major chain drugstores such as CVS and Walgreens and large retail chains such as Walmart, Kroger and Costco. For those unable to go in person, a mail-order option is available, too.
The program works a little differently for patients with commercial insurance. Some insurance plans already cover Paxlovid without a co-pay. Anyone who is told there will be a charge should sign up for Paxcess, which would further bring down their co-pay and might even cover the entire cost.
Several readers have attested that Paxcess’s process was fast and seamless. I was also glad to learn that there is basically no limit to the number of times someone could use it. A person who contracts the coronavirus three times in a year could access Paxlovid free or at low cost each time.
Unfortunately, readers informed me of one major glitch: Though the Paxcess voucher is honored when presented, some pharmacies are not offering the program proactively. As a result, many patients are still being charged high co-pays even if they could have gotten the medication at no cost.
This is incredibly frustrating. However, after interviewing multiple people involved in the process, including representatives of major pharmacy chains and Biden administration officials, I believe everyone is sincere in trying to make things right. As we saw in the early days of the coronavirus vaccine rollout, it’s hard to get a new program off the ground. Policies that look good on paper run into multiple barriers during implementation.
Those involved are actively identifying and addressing these problems. For instance, a Walgreens representative explained to me that in addition to educating pharmacists and pharmacy techs about the program, the company learned it also had to make system changes to account for a different workflow. Normally, when pharmacists process a prescription, they inform patients of the co-pay and dispense the medication. But with Paxlovid, the system needs to stop them if there is a co-pay, so they can prompt patients to sign up for Paxcess.
Here is where patients and consumers must take a proactive role. That might not feel fair; after all, if someone is ill, people expect that the system will work to help them. But that’s not our reality. While pharmacies work to fix their system glitches, patients need to be their own best advocates. That means signing up for Paxcess as soon as they receive a Paxlovid prescription and helping spread the word so that others can get the antiviral at little or no cost, too.
