Are you one of those people that drops into comment threads just to say “gasp, *I* am not aware of this piece of media; be awed and aghast, thee commenting plebians”? It’s instinctual at this point for me to Google things I don’t know of.

I wish I could get that into Japanese media but so much of it treats the reader like an idiot that I can’t bear it. I’ve yet to watch or read more than one or two anime/manga where I don’t get frustrated by the handholding and needless exposition (via dumps, flashbacks, and mental monologues).

I only know how you felt listening to them because I imagine it’s similar to the dull, bland, almost-a-headache-but-not-quite ennui I felt reading this glorified blog post. And I say that as someone who thinks these guys peak at the occasional “pretty good”.

The premise of Odyssey (or the last few games) requires no such thing.

I don't really agree. I still find a hefty chunk of his work hilarious, that hasn't changed, but the new set was just bad. I wanted to like it and hoped people were just being reactionary, but it wasn't funny, it was just bitching.

Who said anything about swearing being unintelligent?

Your stance of never turning away someone for debate suddenly sounds less noble when you immediately make it sound like you're just debating to "win". Not because you're interested in challenging your own views and refining your beliefs. "Us vs them" mentality and "I'm right and need to convert people to my views"…

Out of curiosity, would you be upset about censorship of a game where you have explicit, realistic sex with toddlers or something more along those lines?

Too specific? It’s literally just a joke about the honor system, using Heaven (a widely-known and understood concept) to point out how ridiculous the honor system is. There are plenty of jokes in a similar vein for characters who haven’t died in x form of media.

Counterpoint: Ye was meh at best and the Life of Pablo was fantastic.

Or he makes great albums. I’d honestly consider My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy the greatest hip hop album ever made, as well as in the top albums of all-time.

I mean, if you're gonna smack the film for not following the book how you'd like, Pennywise in the book was a far cry from Curry's version.

I heavily disagree with his politics but I think he has some solid points about comedy. Most comedians that bash Trump or Christianity use the same trite jokes and low-hanging fruit. “Haha he’s orange” and “uhhh NO GOD idiot lmao sky fairy“. I think Trump's a racist dumbass and religion is absurd, but I also want my…

I see the word "exactly" is losing its meaning in the same way as "literally".

I dunno, I still don’t think Ye has ever made a “bad” album. Even “Ye” got, what, 6 or 7/10 from most reviewers? That’s “decent” to “good” on the review scale, since 5/10 is literally the middle. And I agree with it. If someone released that album and it wasn’t him it’d be like “it’s flawed, but let’s keep an eye on…

Every time I listen to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy I’m amazed as if it were new again. Yeezue has a similar effect, but not as intense. The Kanye canon from that era alone is enough to earn the title “genius” IMO.

I find this incredibly hard to believe given how utterly fantastic “Louie” is. I’m not saying you’re wrong, since I haven’t seen it yet, just that it’s I’ve of those things I think I’ll continue to doubt as “it’s tainted by his actions for people” until I see it myself.

I mean, most of the games were made with a timeline in mind. There are endless connections and interviews from early on of "oh yeah this takes place after x" or "before y" or "parallel to z" long before a timeline was released.

Really? When Loki was never being brought up and the mom was such a mystery I kept thinking “what if Atreus is Loki or something? They wouldn’t pull a dumb twist like that, though”, so the only ‘surprise’ I felt at the end was "okay, wow, I guess they would". It doesn't feel clever or like or advanced anything, just…

Here, let’s recap how counting works real quick.
