Icelandic Water Dragon: *opens Pixel Cat's End* “. . . oh no. Ohhhh no. We’ve got trouble on our hands, Morpeko . . .“
Icelandic Waters #1: “It begins.“
Icelandic Waters #2: “It’s never good when the ground starts shaking, is it? I mean, most of the problems caused by the ground shaking aren’t indirect.“
Icelandic Waters #3: “WAAAAAAAAA-“ *pulls up Goomle and frantically types “TERASTALLIZED STELLAR-TERRA GROUDON GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE“ before imploding into nothingness*
Preston: “Hey, Mia! Why are you still so small?”
Mia: “I got kidnapped twice, got threatened by a giant circle with Doritos for arms, and died because you're a terrible mentor!”
Preston: “So you've been having a good time?”
Lakkatura: “Blegh . . . that left a bad taste in my mouth. I really did not need something that came that close to home, especially at a time like this…”
Icelandic Waters: “This sounds like something we could parody for the purposes of the Colibria Thread. I mean, we already have a similar story on our hands in which . . . never mind. This does remind me of the original Marzinory writings. Maybe I should revisit them; now that Colibria is physically branching out, we could use the material.”
Lakkatura: “Dude, it's 10:35, you're prematurely heating up your sleeping bag, and you're wasting time venting! And you haven't even made a record of the bathroom stall jail dream we had last night…”

This is my definition of a liminal space. Nobody has touched this place in a decade, and yet it remains. It's kind of a sad place, considering the great nostalgia it has. The creation held there has since vanished, but I'm sure that it still lingers somewhere in one of my older devices. I'm considering making a tribute to it in the form of a stylized Rhythm Doctor level . . .
Icelandic Water Dragon: *is doing some personal renovations; removing an unused wall-mounted lamp, as well as several random screws and nails stuck in the walls*
Icelandic Waters: *pulls out a sheet of paper jammed behind a box* “I think I just struck me some archival gold, Pa.”
Icelandic Water Dragon: “Aaahhh, the WoT Thread, intertwined with the Coy Thread. A classic example of Colubrine Sector meddling in the affairs of the wrong fandoms. Tail to head, just like those Mediterranean sea serpents. Considering that it's been nearly a decade since Flashkit and Rumbacat billowed terror upon that world from their little third continent, I wonder if the left side of the chart has become outdated…”
Icelandic Waters #1: “YOLO!”
Icelandic Waters #2: “. . . and you're throwing away your one chance to live? That's not what ‘YOLO’ is supposed to mean….”
Icelandic Waters #1: “. . ?”
Icelandic Waters #1: “Hmmm . . . this is, more or less, what happened the last time I did funny business with black holes. Figures!”
Icelandic Water Dragon: *casually reading a news article about unusual spells in Dungeons and Dragons*
Icelandic Waters: “Y’know what would really take the stress out of making a D&D character sheet, what with writing a personality and backstory, tweaking their EVs, describing their appearance and making a balanced ability set? Pulling all that data - and I mean allllllll of it - from a system that has readily and extensively catalogued that data.”
Icelandic Water Dragon: “. . . I wasn’t planning on doing a D&D campaign anytime soon, but, sure, I’ll go along with that idea.“

Icelandic Waters: “Ehh, it’s probably no different from codes on dollar bills. Besides, they match, meaning that they actually correspond to you.“
People are playing Silksong and flying around in giant Nokia phones, while I'm still waiting for No Man's Sky’s Voyagers patch to get released on the Switch…
Icelandic Waters #1: “It’s soooooo hot here. When you-know-what eventually happens, we need to move to somewhere more temperate. It’s clear that even Stantler stuff couldn’t save me in this weather. And to make matters worse, the rest of the house smells like hot, day-old cinnamon rolls.”
Icelandic Waters #2: “So, global warming started when we dug up potential energy in the form of oil and burned it into atmospheric heat, right? By my logic, we could revert the effects of global warming if we could put that heat somewhere else. If only there was a conveniently placed void of energy where we could dump all that waste heat . . . . . AHA!“
Icelandic Waters #3: “No, dumping the Earth’s oceans into the vacuum of space isn’t going to work.”
NO MAN’S SKY UPDATE: A new update and community expedition have been released, featuring a new class of fully bespoke starships that basically function as mini-freighter bases. In addition to being as modular as a freighter, you can pilot them like any other starship, step out of the cockpit and walk around the ship’s interior, carry other Travelers in multiplayer, use an onboard three-feed refiner, and even jump out from orbit - or into deep space.
How come the original Super Mario World on the SNES was rated T for all sorts of things that couldn't possibly fly in such a game, whereas the GBA remake was dialed down to a more acceptable (but still questionable) E10 rating? These must be the ratings from when they first released; surely these games would be E-rated today…
Icelandic Water Dragon: “Unsolicited fact: the Johtonian Sneasel is the only Pokémon not native to Hisui that can be legitimately caught as an alpha. This thing’s gotta be pretty valuable!”
Icelandic Waters #1: “And then Z-A is going to bring a whole new region’s worth of alphas into circulation, and this thing’s value is gonna tank. That sucks.”
Icelandic Waters #2: Speaking of which, how are alpha Pokémon spawns going to work in Z-A? With wild zones the size of your living room, static spawns couldn’t sustainably work, and the 0.2-2% random alpha chance is too little to work with.“
Icelandic Waters #3: “But didn’t we get static alphas confirmed? In the trailers, I remember seeing an alpha Houndoom surrounded by Houndour, similar to the static spawning conventions we saw in LA. That thing is gonna massacre an entire generation of Mabostiff . . . or, in this case, Furfrou.“
