Dunno if I'd go so far as call it stemming, but even just as far as I gone so far the chances of ksbd not pretty intentionally drawing from fooxia is what I'd call hella' slim. Even beyond the myth influence aspect, certain junk like the guild fun and whatnot are about as close to an explicit shout out as you can get without actually spelling it out in body parts or somethin'.

I wouldn't call it impossible it's more convergent evolution, so to speak, than direct inspiration, but if it turned out wozzname hadn't been decently exposed to the fooxia stuff either prior to starting the story or shortly after beginning to release it to the public, I'd be incredibly surprised.

That said, definitely the mythology side of things would lead to any number of similarities, heh. I wouldn't try to slap down even a general percentage or somethin' for how genre ties are apportioned, much less something specific.

Mostly the latter (least so far as it's non-family nearby area people), rarely the former. Actual family hunting happened more when I was a good bit younger, nowadays it's mostly a friend or two of the family that brings some by when they make a kill or two. Basically means some venison every year or two, but sometimes it comes by less... processed. So not packaged or wrapped or anything, just hunks of deer meat.

It's arguably less offputting, to the extent it is at all, than the quail that occasionally gets dropped off. Those tend to still have the feathers and everything, so you get your first notice there's dead game fowl in the house when you open the fridge to beady eyes or happen to walk by when someone's started or finished dressing some and you're greeted with a bucket full of bloody feathers.

... y'know, you'd think at some point during the last probably dozen times I've pulled something from the outside fridge since the stuff was likely to have been there, I would have noticed one of the bottom drawers that's usually not even in the thing was about a half full of blood and mammal flesh, and the other half ice. But apparently it took 'till today, when I finally passed the spot check for the fridge drawer full of blood and meat. deer meat, mind, or at least that's what people are telling me

I'unno MSH, I think outright shutdown tops that. Which this is, if possibly due to be a short one.

Maybe it's about even, but this stuff (most of the full on shutdown stuff that I've lived through, really) has been less "disrupt election" tier and more "we've stuck our head to a rotorooter and jammed it up our own ass" level junk.

... though I'd totally agree if we functionally reach that point with persistent micro-shutdowns caused by republican goddamn incompetence and/or malfeasance, it'll be a plain one-up.

For what it's worth, the commercial in question does have this gimmick thing that looks blatantly fake with a white screen that supposedly only shows a picture of a bald eagle in front of an american flag when looked at with these special (twenty buck infomercial) sunglasses, but not other sunglasses. So you got yer murrica fuck yeah.

Sadly, they dropped a ball and the eagle isn't crying, though.

Pretty sure I could get some polarized lenses for a lot cheaper than that.

Maybe adaptive/photochromic lenses(the ones that darken outside, and clear inside)?

Frumple reiterates: Infomercial sunglasses. You can pretty much always find cheaper than infomercial anything. There's little doubt they're both a ripoff and indulging in so much puffery they could hold a side job as a fluffer.

As for how long, I'unno. Pretty sure I've been occasionally walking by the thing for a least a month, probably two. It's running on GRIT, which one of the other folks in the house has on most of the day.

Had to take a second to check if dan quayle was still alive after noticing that. Makes if you wonder if ol' randy is trying to say something.
