These are, no shit, how I learned roughly 90% of what (little) I know about Jungian psychology

My theory for how this happened: someone set an English script to be read by a Spanish-speaking text-to-speech voice, assumed that meant it would be automatically translated โ€œby AI,โ€ and didnโ€™t check. The โ€œtresโ€ probably happened because the script used numerals instead of writing out numbers.

A few hints for the rest:

The internet is extremely horny for one of its villains

You can cook apples with a torch

The title is what youโ€™re ordered to do to the woman

The statues move and are very large

Also just realized Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are both about a woman who has her shit together but still ends up waiting around for her boyfriend who is chronically late thanks to severe ADHD

OK one more:

Depending on who youโ€™re playing, the first two could describe the same game

Person discovers theyโ€™re really a dragon, spends all their time doing unrelated stuff

Impatient American travels to rural Eastern Europe to reconnect with his daughter, preferably in 3 hours or less

Guy oversleeps and wanders around to put off a meeting with the girlfriend he hasnโ€™t seen in years

Describe your favorite games poorly:

Whip-play enthusiast visits aristocratic shut-in

Enterprising sailor finds fortune and disrupts nascent surveillance state while indulging passion for parkour

Disabled veterans attempt to establish a business and scout fresh talent in Afghanistan

@wikiparaz.bsky.social , I still canโ€™t watch a single Reds game without thinking about this doofus.

Burnout 3 is underrated as one of the very, very best games of all time because you can show Burnout 3 footage to people two decades later and their reaction will still be "hell yeah, this rules. I wanna play this right now."

A seven-panel page from an issue of Marvelโ€™s Excalibur 

PANEL 1:
Meggan, taking the form of a deceased Kitty Pryde, points accusingly at a furious Magik, and says: โ€œNIGHTCRAWLER IS HERE: YOU WON'T SUCCEED IN ENSLAVING HIM OR PHOENIX OR PROFESSOR STUART-- ANYMORE THAN YOU DID IN MURDERING ME. SO YOU COULD GAIN CONTROL OF MY EMPIRE.โ€

PANEL 2:
Magik, wearing Dr. Strangeโ€™s costume, blasts Meggan with a purple beam, and yells:
โ€œWANNA BET?! I BUILT THAT EMPIRE, SWEETIE โ€” EVEN IF YOU HOGGED ALL THE CREDITโ€” ITโ€™S MINE BY RIGHT!โ€

Meggan: AEEE!

PANEL 3: 
The Judge Dredd-inspired Justicer Bull and another Justicer shoot Magik multiple times in the back. Bull says: โ€œAS IS THE
PUNISHMENT, LAWBREAKER, FOR SUCH
CAPITAL CRIMES!โ€

PANEL 4: 
Magik turns around, a Cryptkeeper-looking grin on her face. Her torso, cloaked in shadow, appears to have been torn open by exit wounds. She says: โ€œOw! THIS MEAN, JUSTY... WE AINโ€™T PALS NO MORE?โ€

PANEL 5:
Magik pulls at the skin on her face and plunges a hand into her front torso, saying: โ€œAIN'T THAT A CRYING SHAME! TOO
BADโ€” FOR YOUโ€”โ€œ

PANEL 6:
Magik, standing just off-panel, appears to rip
Her face off with a spray of purple blood. The Justicers look on, horrified. Magik says:
โ€œโ€”THE DARK-CHILDEโ€ฆ DOESNโ€™T DIEโ€ฆโ€

PANEL 7:
A towering purple demon stands in Magikโ€™s place, covered in fur and with massive curved horns. It says โ€œโ€”QUITE LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE!โ€ as Justicer Bull opens fire, uselessly.

I only really know about her evil Judge-Dredd-inspired-alternate-universe version from late-โ€˜80s Excalibur (who kills her partner in crime Kitty Pryde), but these last four panels have been burned into my mind for decades.

A WWII German officer holds a WWI trench knife in front of captured American soldier Roland Weary in a panel from Slaughterhouse-Five: The Graphic Novel by Kurt Vonnegut, Ryan North, and Albert Monteys.

He says (in German):

ยซNice playthings you have here.
You'd like to use this on me, eh?
Tear my face off with the spiked Knuckles, stick the blade in my belly and throat?>

A caption at the bottom of the panel reads: And Billy and Weary understood no German.
