Whether Chris Rock made it a joke or not doesn’t really matter. It doesn’t make it any less true, or the argument any less valid on its own merits.

Part of the problem is “bad apples”. And part of the problem is a police culture geared against cooperating with any effort to weed out those bad apples, or even hold them accountable.

Except that’s completely outside the analogy and has nothing to do with the current situation.

I’d agree to a point. We are never really given enough detail about the Red Dragon plot going on in Cowboy Bebop to really care about it in and of itself. But I guess I never really needed to. I didn’t care directly about Vicious and the fate of the syndicate, but I DID end up becoming fairly invested in the main…

On the other hand, an episodic series like BeBop does make it easier to introduce to someone new to the genre. They get immediate story payoff, minimizing the chance they lose interest and stop watching before a show really gets rolling. It also makes it much easier to jump directly to a better episode in the series…

You got me. Of the two go-to anime to reccomend to people interested in trying out the genre, Cowboy Bebop is the one I’d reccomend to people not normally into anime. It has something to offer anyone into Noir, Westerns, sci-fi, or anyone who just likes fighting and shootouts. The fact that almost every episode is a…

Poe’s law.

What do I have to do to get this out of my feed? It’s been stuck at the top of kotaku for me for literal months. Every single time I visit the site.

He can’t stop. That is the curse.

Still wishing that one of the new DLC feature was an option to turn off all of the non-plot essential student deaths in battles with other houses.

Well THAT was an incredibly self-indulgent way of saying “I don’t really give a damn about you or your opinion, but it’s very important for me to tell you in excruciating detail why that makes me better than you.”

“Most people buying or even thinking about a Luigi’s Mansion game just want the single-player (or Gooigi-partnered) story experience...”

On a darker note, was anyone else’s depressing first thought: “I wonder how on the ball Gamefreak will be stopping people from naming their Inteleon after ACTUAL mass shooters.

You know, I didn’t actually notice until you typed it all up together like that, but given recent real-world events, especially in the U.S.... that Can kind of be interpreted a lot darker than what gamefreak probably ever intended.

As someone who typically gets a new generation when it launches, and could never justify spending money on the deluxe version when it finally launched, this is a welcome change. I'd much rather simply pay to upgrade my existing game.

You know, this actually makes sense. I realized that I never received a set of X-acto blades I impulse-bought on sale about a month after they where supposed to have arrived... but I DID for some reason receive a jar of bikini wax from Amazon that I had no reason to buy, nor any memory or digital record of having done…

“...How did you know where I live?”

Beat me to it.

So, I guess I’m still not certain as to whether this is an evolution or a regional form.
