Maybe we just don’t deserve nice things. Look at this post: The show looks like it’s going for a crisp, bright esthetic, and it’s called “bland”. A distinctly normal and relatable young Superman is “uninspiring”, while being “unrelatable” is many peoples’ biggest complaint about the character.

Yup. You know exactly the type of show that will get canceled quickly: Inoffensive, fun, kind of heartwarming and earnest. Well-written, without “try hard” reality tv style drama forced into it, but with drama occuring organically like in... stories?

Of course it’s doomed.

I was just thinking about this today in reference to people like an Adam Corolla or Joe Rogan. People who have made a steady decades-long move from average-joe-common-sense types who are broadly well-meaning, to weird proto-fascists who will spew hateful conspiracies at the drop of a hat. And I think it’s all those…

To my chagrin, I used to really respect his and Adam Corolla’s opinions on their “Loveline” radio show when I was a kid. It’s amazing that they now rank near the top of my list of the most painfully stupid and unhelpful people in media.

Going by the picture, they broke up because when he smiled, it looked like he smelled a fart and didn’t want to say nothin’.
(If I’m always gonna be greyed out, I might as well say whatever petty nonsense comes to mind.)

The speech stands because it always flips both ways: You think things are settled, you think we all agree on what’s right and what’s wrong, and we don’t have to constantly fight over certain things. And then it starts all over again. And eventually, once again, you have to choose a side, and stand firm. Against the…

Trying to institute courses in mindfulness and empathy is called “wokeism”, so good luck with that. I mean, aside from all the other issues like zero mental health access (and social stigma if you find it), shortages of teachers, and counselors who are so short staffed that they ultimately do fuckall, etc.

Better to j…

I dunno. You might be missing their main point while arguing semantics...

Comics isn’t just mainstream DC and Marvel comics. Don’t paint the entire medium with that brush. There are dozens of incredible new stories out there. People just are ignorant of them.

Get hip to that Christo-fascist gravy train. A celeb can make a lot of money sucking up to fundamentalists and starring in their propaganda.

The attitude of “Why do this dumb shit?” from some people is why “entertainment” is mostly endless trash. Culturally dead, copycat trash. You get what you deserve.

That may indeed be the case from what we’ve seen so far, but I wouldn’t make that assessment based on a couple minutes of behind the scenes materials. Any more than i could judge any other game from early trailers.

Let me just make it clear: Peter Thiel does not care about abortion or the hatred of gay or trans people. Hahah! No. Nononono. lolnono. THAT guy? He loves the hate. He just knows it’s not going to get numbers. Which is the truth.

My first thought was, “Now if someone happened to be under those buses waiting for them, and one of those clowns lost a leg, the cops would have suddenly been making some arrests. Of the people defending themselves.”

Pleasantly surprised to see you still here, but surprised nonetheless. Your comments are probably more insightful than most of the writing at this point, and most of the very few other comments are trash. Legit question: What keeps you coming back?

It’s better than most of the things on this list. It’s not for everyone, though, is it? 

It’s weird that it feels like The OA exists in an entirely parallel universe. That’s fine, I guess. When I find fans of The OA, I know I’m among my people.

Our priorities are WAY out of wack, and I have no idea what to do about it.

Yeah, that checks out. I know there were questions as to the execution, but I got the impresion the community around the game were largely fine with it. I mean... it’s Guilty Gear. If you want boring and expected, you’re playing the wrong game.

Then again, I’ve taught most algorithms that I’m not interested in incel/red…

Was... that controversial? I thought that was common and accepted knowledge like... 15 years ago? Whenever Guilty Gear Isuka came out.
