It really is peak Sawano. The bombast is just off the chart at times, I love it.

Ya, it was just a marketing blunder all the same. If you make an information drought and you fill it with a presentation you have to expect ALL interested parties to watch, even those that information does not really pertain all that much too. I’m sure this will be more in line.

I hope it won’t be as boring as Sony’s first one... that was BAD. 

If Sony announces for a launch window: God of War 2, Spider-Man 2, Horizon Zero Dawn 2, or something insane all this talk of Teraflops over the past few months will start looking really silly. Power doesn’t sell consoles games do. If Sony doesn’t announce something big like that (or a slew of solid 1st and 3rd party…

Ya, it helps to be a weeb with a degree in history, political science, and have actually read the manga and written a paper on it for an Asian Politics seminar lol. I also get really annoyed when Westerners use our own views to try and explain a foreign property without that context. 

I wrote a long comment on it as I’m in lockdown and why not. However, to sum it up its mostly a thing we’re more attuned to in the West and easy to see if you are primed to those things. However, it is far from ingrained in the manga the way some people like to portray it as.

Isayama himself is a noted member/supporter of a socially conservative/nationalist political party/movement in Japan. A lot of westerners use that knowledge to read into Attack on Titans militaristic side of things. The issue with this topic is multiple though.

Its actually not. Its becoming increasingly common unless the show absolutely bombs. Most manga adaptations are getting continuous adaptations. Hell, even Bleach an anime that has been over for half a decade with a completed manga is coming back. Basically every Shonen Jump manga adaptation is continuing, there is a…

I was actually telling friends when Season Two was going to be released A LOT of people were going to be annoyed because it focused a lot more on the human side of things. My prediction was (and it was correct) that the huge gap between Season One and Two was to allow Season Two to get all the boring stuff out of the…

You didn’t read the blurb did you?

To all the folks who quit earlier I’d say come back the water is fine. AoT went from way over-hyped, to appropriately hyped, to now under hyped. Is the series absolutely bonkers? Oh hell yes, is the series also one of the most fun action adventure series around today? Also yes. It may have been surpassed in recent…

The collective outrage these generate on social media really do remind me of the two minutes of hate. Twitter was bad before. In a pandemic is fucking poison on people’s minds. As a general rule of thumb anything I see on social media I assume is misleading in some way, ESPECIALLY if it confirms my preconceived biases.

There’s something human (maybe just American?) in wanting to get mad at people about what they’re doing.

Honestly, the rural-urban divide of COVID19 is really important. Quite frankly, rural communities except for places that have gigantic meat packing plants or prisons tends to be far less hit. At the current moment COVID19 is primarily effecting cities, which makes sense as its easier to transmit when more people live…

The reality of the situation is there will be the medical threat of COVID19 for a long time. That time will be far longer than Governments can afford to suppress economic activity, once that Government forced suppression is done it then becomes up to the individual to assess threat and what their actions will be.…

Eating fruit that contains fructose and other sugars makes good sense as you eat it along with fiber, vitamins, and even proteins ( guavas, avocado, kiwi...) . However sprinkling your morning meal with fructose is not healthy choice. Think about protein powder in the same way.

Yes but the process of drying out food is still processing. It doesn’t matter if its done by hand or not. Removing water content from something removes volume from the item making it more calorically dense. Its much easier to eat calorically dense foods then non-calorically dense foods. Anyways, its besides the point…

Ya... you didn’t read my post clearly did you.

Well that would fall under the “have less processed food” because those sound processed to hell.

If you’re trying to manage weight its best to remember flax is still a seed its quite high in fats, even if they’re “healthy fats” a good low calorie substitute is wheat bran.
