If you happen to have a 3DS I’d encourage you to get the remake. So many quality of life improvements.

I’d encourage you to give it another go. It really is one of the best games in the genre.

And you didn’t even mention the final “chapter” as it were. Which I won’t really go into because spoilers, but that last big switcheroo the game pulls on you really threw me for a loop. I think that’s when I realized how masterfully this game was inverting genre tropes at the time.

How crazy is that logic?! Lol.

As silly as that seems, I think that’s right. But the irony then is that they are getting their false information from people who don’t know anything at all. So how is it better? They still get told what to think, just from other idiots.

Lol I won’t even go into the newest out there conspiracy theory I heard the other day. Which is, of course, that Australia, the continent, does not exist.

I don’t. Maybe I should ask.

This is really a thing, I’m afraid. I can’t wrap my head around it anymore than you can either.

Yeah, I’ve explained that. They would wave it away with something like “Oh well, it’s not flat like a piece of paper. There’s bumps and ridges and stuff.” They don’t want to hear the truth.

You got me! I’m Steph Curry!

Exactly. At first I made the mistake of trying to have a dialog and understand why these people believed something so utterly absurd, but I gave up on that very quickly. They have nothing, obviously. Other than they heard some celebrity say it or saw it in some bullshit article on Facebook. It’s just so ridiculous to…

I have been shocked to realize over the past few months that three different people I know fairly well and have known for awhile are Flat Earthers. Completely baffling.

I think this does make things simpler. It’s just DC undoing the New 52 reboot. It’s all part of one canon again. There is no more Flashpoint divide, because the two universes (as symbolized by the Red-New 52 and Blue-Post Crisis Supermen) are merged together. It’s not a perfect soultion, and the story itself was a bit…

Fargo was robbed.

She's going to be on the Teen Titans launching next month. It's okay!

I would agree with you if it were just something that happened and then was glossed over. But the entire story he’s been telling at Marvel, starting in Secret Warriors and wrapping up in Secret Wars, is an exploration of that idea and it’s consequences. What sort of extreme circumstances can cause good men to make bad…

Here’s a weird thing. Other than this conversation all of my notifications and posts have disappeared from my own list. Kinja at work!

Also, if you’ve ever heard Hollywood Handbook, that show is doing a straight parody of Acker & Blacker’s work on the Writer’s Panel.

Ha, yeah that is a bit of a stretch. Yeah all of TAH was written by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker. I believe they also did a run on Thunderbolts together.

I haven't read much of that stuff, so I can't say for sure. But that costume is the one he wore when his healing factor was shut down before his death, so it may be intentional and not just a bad drawing.
