I just realized something. Lynn says she hasn’t used for “nine years, three months, and sixteen days.” She’s been married for over 14 years. That means she slipped after they were married. Maybe that’s why they moved to Peregrine Lake.
Yup. If you feel like mathing it out, Peregrine Lake technically takes place in early 2030 (because UnCONventional stuck to real time pretty closely I had to pick a real year for the time jump for Megan and Lynn’s ages to be where I wanted them)
(Edited to add: The move happened several years afterwards in canon, and per the UnCONventional epilogue was more due to Megan coming into some money from her brother buying out her share of the family business)
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.

Still, compared to Funky Winkerbean…
