    Well done. This will worry him more than just about any other possible course of action. Misdirection isn’t just for stage magic.

    Kill em with kindness. Or I could throw in the thing in the Bible and what Jesus said about turning other cheek. Either way, this is a very interesting way to handle things. It’s funny how some of the more pacifist methods tend to work. Although Jim is probably going to keep that grudge.

    It’s got to be killing him that Lynn isn’t pitching a fit, getting upset, etc etc. He wants a confrontation and he’s not getting it. Lynn acting like absolutely nothing happened. Sweet

      I almost wonder if Lynn responding like was preciously Jim’s intent somewhere, as if he’s trying to prove his claims of her being dangerous. Honestly though, I don’t think he’s dumb enough to aim exactly for that since it means he would be purposely trying to provoke violence. Jim’s an douchebag, but I don’t think (and I could be wrong) that he’d stoop as low as someone getting injured on purpose.

      Non-physical hostile reactions and insults though, yeah, he was definitely hoping for that.

    Random question. Why do the cons keep putting Bork Con and Unagi Con next to each other at the Ambassador Alley?

      Because it’s conducive to funny comic strips!

      In-universe? Maybe lack of space? That sounds plausible…

        Yea I figure it sets up for the joke, but I’m just wondering how that keep happens in the said universe. This just might be a coincidence this time, if this happens a third time, then something is clearly fishy.

          Might be some con specific organization method that only the cons themselves are privy to. That or they’re just putting the ambassador tables all in one area and there aren’t that many to the point it just keeps happening by coincidence.

      According to the staff mailing list that they still haven’t removed me from, They weren’t a problem in the past and they already told Whatsitcon that they couldn’t be moved without messing up the program book so nobody else could be moved without looking really bad.

So I Updated the Steven Seagal Movie Generator?
11 June 2025 - Traegorn
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.
