These Series VIII-era promos on this set with Rimmer in his VII garb damage my brain. When do these take place?! Questions need answers.

[Moonlight]

Well, I can think of worse excuses for DwarfCast to do Robotech commentaries.

#RedDwarf #Smegle 07/03/2026 

One of my absolute favorite episodes so I’d have no excuse to not get it.

[Moonlight]

It very very much looks like he’s sawing straight through the arm like he does with Lister two series later.

[Moonlight]

Quinn and I confirmed that the nonsense binary Kryten gives in Terrorform that doesn’t sound anything like real binary is accurately transcribed by the subtitles. Wasted like 10 minutes on that.

They should’ve committed to the bit and plastered idiot boards over the whole studio reading: 01000100 01101111 01101110 00100111 01110100 00100000 01110011 01110100 01100001 01101110 01100100 00100000 01100001 01110010 01101111 01110101 01101110 01100100 00100000 01101010 01100001 01100010 01100010 01100101 01110010 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01110111 01101000 01100101 01101110 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 00100111 01110010 01100101 00100000 01101001 01101110 00100000 01101101 01101111 01110010 01110100 01100001 01101100 00100000 01100100 01100001 01101110 01100111 01100101 01110010 00101110

fuck my arse post 5000 / page 101

[Moonlight]

Based on a vague idea by quinn_drummer.

[Moonlight]

He’s clearly actively chopping through it.

Is it a gag that Kryten basically amputates his hand and then has to unscrew it anyway? I’ve always been mildly confused by that, but it occurs to me it might be a joke.

[Moonlight]

Thinking you could destroy Robotnik on Labyrinth Zone Act 3 before the top of the climb if you could just hit him eight times.

This is single-handedly the reason I could never get past that boss until I was older playing the game again on Mega Collection. They change the rules without any attempt to convey it to you. Also, the only way to get continues in Sonic 1 was by collecting rings in the special stages which I didn’t know, so I pretty much never had a continue.

[Moonlight]

I honestly couldn’t figure out how I was meant to consistently jump on those things without getting hurt until I saw the actual hitboxes.

I still fuck it up a lot.

[Moonlight]

It made my year that somebody did this song in the style of Mania.

[Moonlight]

Is that unfinished greenscreen in the porthole back there?

I have always wondered about that, but I would imagine they would be using blue if it was meant to be keyed out. I don’t think green came into prominence until digital compositing workflows and we know they used a bluescreen for the hologram stuff in The End.

[Moonlight]

They should move it to both “That’s not a man. That’s Lister,” and “Lister, has your brain gone 404?” Two lines I enjoy that get dead silence from the audience.

[Moonlight]

What exactly is supposed to be funny about “I know. I’ve done it myself”? There’s a laugh after that but it’s not funny nor is it even written like it’s intended to be a joke.

Meanwhile “Death isn’t the handicap it used to be” is so silly on its face that I cannot imagine why that’s the comparison you’re making.

[Moonlight]

This is one of my favorite lines in the whole show, and it’s not a joke (despite getting a laugh for some fucking reason). The double meaning for both the character and the show itself is so delicious.

Early in Sonic 2 I try to play the levels as fast as possible and largely ignore the badniks. Then in Casino Night I fuck around with the bumpers for ages, and play more casually for the next few zones. Then in Metropolis Zone I start killing them all because every badnik in that level is a miserable fucking bastard and probably blindsided me the moment they came on screen.

[Moonlight]

I should’ve guessed it wasn’t the game when your post didn’t go on for fourteen minutes and require me to kill every enemy on the map.

[Moonlight]

The third movie wasn’t Shadow the Hedgehog, it was Sonic Adventure 2.

[Moonlight]

Mistook it for the hotel in Stasis Leak.

[Moonlight]

Capps changed my one right away. Maybe just ask more nicely?

Maybe I’ll try changing only one word at a time so it’s not a giant To-Do pile.

[Moonlight]

Back to Reality

[Moonlight]

I’m just going to trust that Warbo isn’t fucking with me because I am too lazy to dig Son of Soup off my bookshelf.

[Moonlight]

VINDALOSER

Rimmer thinks of a new insult and beats it into the ground for several episodes.

[Moonlight]

So is this “Luke,” like the name, or “Nuke,” as the Tongue Tied wiki insists? Discuss.

Red Dwarf finally has its “Hydrocity vs. Hydro City” debate.

[Moonlight]

[Moonlight]

Cappsy has (reportedly) (supposedly) finally incorporated all of my fixes into the Smegadrive. So any errors you now see are assuredly ones I have not addressed yet.

[Moonlight]

Well, I’ve at least confirmed that isn’t something I forgot from Series VIII.

[Moonlight]

Once again I absent-mindedly click on this thread because new posts and FutureEchoes spoils the solution. This is the worst thing that’s happened on G&T all day.

[Moonlight]

TWINE SAVE

Lister discovers the wonders of repairing broken things by tying twine around them.

[Moonlight]

I hate the future.

[Moonlight]

WAVEWAVE

The crew stumble back and forth across the set as the camera wobbles.

[Moonlight]

Next they’ll turn him into a chicken.

#RedDwarf #Smegle 25/02/2026 

I got lucky.

[Moonlight]

#RedDwarf #Smegle 24/02/2026 

Psirens, Marooned (both thinking I was looking at Lister in a puffer jacket outside of Starbug), The Inquisitor, then I thought of the correct guess but decided to pitch Quarantine instead.

[Moonlight]

They go on to give everyone an erection in that episode too.

[Moonlight]

SPINE RAVE

After Lister falls into the cargo bay and cracks his spine in three places, Rimmer hosts a party specifically to not invite him to.

[Moonlight]

[Moonlight]

TIME FOR WAVE 

Kryten and the gang go to Hawaii to catch some surf.

[Moonlight]

#RedDwarf #Smegle 19/02/2026 

It’s not my fault like 70% of Series XI is someone in scrubs in the science room.
