So it was literally more than twenty years ago that I first put one of my dumbest creations on the internet: The Steven Seagal Movie Generator.
Like I seriously publicly launched that dumb thing back in 2004, and for those of you who were unaware, it assembles a title, cast and plot of a fake Steven Seagal movie from elements of his (real) bad films.
I honestly got the idea from a former-friend, who in high school wrote a comedic piece about how you could mash up the titles of Seagal films in the weird underground "newspaper" that got handed out for a few years. But I took it a few steps further, and made a whole thing.
Mostly it just sat there though, a thing I made once and never went back to. I followed it up with the Sci-Fi Channel Movie Generator (later retitled the Syfy Movie Generator) in 2008. I spent more time on that one, doing a later design update that made the "Syfy" movies show up on a fake DVD back cover.
But the Steven Seagal generator just sort of sat there, untouched.
And Steven Seagal kept making (terrible) movies with (predictable) titles. Like a lot. But the generator still only spat out movies culled from the nineties and early 2000s, ignoring all of his new stuff. There was a whole library of awful movies that just weren't in there, and it made the generator feel less relevant.
So, uh, I went and did something about that today.
First off, I redesigned the page. Now it looks like the back of a VHS tape box. Then I loaded the elements of about twenty-five additional films into the generator. And that was harder than I thought it would be, since some of the films are so obscure that they're not well documented. I literally had to do some deep research to figure out a lot of the basic plot details that are now in the generator.
But I did it.
And it's done.
And the generator is now fully loaded.
It's still useless and dumb, though.

Burn.
Not really a burn, just a “Nope, I am not interested, do not ask again”. Ruth has a history of being hit on by everyone, she’s probably fairly tired of it.
Kind of glad to not see this stretch out for 13 episodes over one stupid misunderstanding.
I can reference anime here, people at anime cons still watch anime right?
Yes… But not like they use to. Nobrandcon is down to one viewing room and I cannot really fault them. Their just aren’t the numbers to justify the space. That said my nephew spent half his time in the anime room this year.
Good lord calvsie drink some coffee and use a computer next time! Typos and bad auto correct through out, not to mention the grammar!
Really! The anime cons in my area are still going strong. The main difference is the higher grade of cosplay, which seems to be on the upswing.
What I’m not seeing is anime fans at more general conventions.
Anyway, I assumed the slow “no” was the wheels turning in her head after looking at the cover image on the comic. I mean, it’s got a strong resemblance to her, with reversed hair combing…
I’m sure that’s a coincidence. The proper response in that case would not be “No.”, it would be *runs away, screaming*.

Eh, I think there’s room for followup here. The questions is ‘-do- you date other people’, not ‘would you given the opportunity?’ Which is very likely to have the same answer. There’s also something to be said for the tone in which the answer was given, which we can’t strictly tell via text based medium.
