Very confused as to where he got that. Do they loot a zombie Wes Anderson in the pilot?

They also referenced Malchemical as one of Frenchie's victims. 

They did Love Sausage dirty. 

I read the comic after season 1, and think the show is a lot better. So far they’ve stripped a lot of stuff from the comic and reworked what they were left with pretty heavily. The comic was seemingly just made with the goal of being outrageous at every turn, the show is actually a decent satire. 

Probably with some of the Young Americans shit peppered in. At least this means it’s unlikely the main show will tackle some of the more... colourful stuff from the comic that I’m not sure would be possible to fit in well with how they’ve adapted the thing so far, but could make for a good story elsewhere. 

They don’t necessarily know Black Noir’s powers. A couple of nail bombs would be enough to finish off a good chunk of the supes we’ve seen. They know he would kill all of them in a fight, that’s about it.

That confused me so much I wondered if they'd changed the music in my region due to rights or something. 

Yeah the American squeamishness about the word cunt is pretty funny to see sometimes. He was clearly overusing it in this episode towards the end but it was intentional. He was backed into a corner and running out of ideas, his tough facade was crumbling a little and he was trying to look hard in the face of worsening…

“you see all that industry in there, Alessandro? That's why your movie never worked"

Now do Weapon of Choice.

haha great point. Side note: I wish they’d kept some of the truly weird long faces and out of proportion bodies for this adaptation. The game had a distinct look where a lot of people just didn’t look quite right. If you’re going with one of the weirdest video games of the last generation, which is a skewed Japanese…

Out of all the games to adapt this seems like a weird one. It has a pretty standard fantasy story with a chosen hero and a few characters I can see working well, but as the article touches on, the appeal of the game is based in three extremely video-gamey things.

Yeah I’ve tried playing it again a couple of times and it really doesn’t have much replay value. I loved it the first time, give or take any time I was playing as someone other than spider-man. I really liked Mary Jane and Miles as characters, but did anyone want to play as anyone other than spider-man?

Jesus I didn’t think things were that bad. I have the GC controller they released for Smash and have never really noticed, conflicting reports online about whether even the trigger on that registers as analogue or if the Switch is even able to do so. Do you know?

wishful thinking I guess. It’s clearly a real rush job. Tbh I never understood why Ninty didn’t stick with analogue shoulder buttons for longer than a generation, considering how standard it’s become. 

Considering its emulating the original game with minor adjustments, it certainly feels like removing Gamecube controller functionality on a console with multiple official Gamecube controllers is more work than keeping it as an extra control scheme. Maybe they’ve adjusted other stuff to compensate.

tbh I have a suspicion this collection wasn’t planned before the pandemic hit. There were rumours of HD remasters of these games at the beginning of the year, but those could have easily been scrapped for something more cost effective, and the limited marketing ending at the end of the financial year is suspect.

Then you find out they didn’t even get rid of the racist stuff!

Recently had a guy come into a sub about retro computer parts that I’m part of, bitching about how lame he found it after stumbling across a related youtube video. He was active almost entirely in a community for pencil collectors. Glass houses and all that. 

The point is partly that she spreads transphobic conspiracies about cis men crossdressing or otherwise lying about being trans in order to assault women, and she believes trans women shouldn’t be considered women, so in her mind there isn’t enough of a difference.
