Fun Fact: in the manga of Scott Pilgrim, Knive’s Dad tries to kill Scott for treating his daughter like garbage.

Waited in line on a cold Florida night to pick up a reserved one.

Great writeup! Random-ish question: how wide and deep is the seat of that chair, and how wide and tall is the back? I have an Osgood executive chair that’s seen better days, and might be due for a replacement...

I mean, I was just going to go see the movie this weekend because it looks fuckin’ amazing, and I want it to have those bombastic opening weekend sales.

Were FMA or Attack on Titan made in the U.S., where there are an abundance of actors that AREN’T white, this would be an absolutely valid statement, and for that, you get a star.

know what? - THIS. I watched the first ep of LBC, and an ep of Franxx the other day and find neither necessarily compelling or (personally) engaging. But, when viewed from the perspective of opposite each other, there’s actually a lot going on here. Might have to watch a few more, knowing this.

That’s metrics. I’m not commenting on race, ethnicity, culture, stereotypes, or nationality: there are literally a billion more (1.0559B, to be exact) people in china (1.379B, to be exact) than in the U.S. (323.1M, to be exact). The bloke in question is a racist, to which my comment of ‘don’t be a dick’ fully applies.

Dang, those images are leagues above the bullshots Ubi used to promote the game. Maybe cut this guy a break for making a bleak, and nearly 3-year-old game gorgeous.

Yes, that is the subtext. I’m not saying they’d nuke us over one asshole, but one asshole being followed by hundreds of thousands other assholes, who then all start being assholes, and, well. That many assholes and it starts to smell like shit everywhere (or, at least the con-funk of a million swampy asses).

All I’m sayin’ is that there are literally a BILLION more folks in China than America. Maybeeee... don’t be a dick to them. I mean, that’s a general rule and all (Don’t Be A Dick), buuuuuuuuuuuut...

Oi, I spent over $670 in monthly fees over 4 years, and bought three separate expansions. I respect your opinion on it, but I have paid my dues, and have my own. I’m not advertising for the game, I’m just agreeing with the author.

For the body of the game and its main story arc, you are correct: There is a unique story to be told here. After spending ages of grinding away at end-game content, and what minimal cohesion it uses to keep the whole thing together/amusing, I stand by my post.

“[...] a hodgepodge of Final Fantasy fanfiction that also substitutes as an MMO”

At the end of the day, don’t give a business that CAPITALIZES IN SNARK AND CYNICISM something to be snarky and cynical about.

No easier way to control a populace than mutilate a fiction into truth, or a truth into a fiction, and we as a species are too embedded in it now to know which it was originally.

Thank you for sharing! Yes, he really was little more than a groupie with the biblical-era iteration of MySpace, blithely sending out letters, but failing to actually do the legwork Christ asked of his followers.

Solid blurb, thank you!

On the other hand, while living in a rented duplex the neighbors called CPS on my family. I did have a physically abusive step father (visible bruises, cuts, all that joy), and he and my mother put on the song and dance the social worker wanted to hear. We were never privately interviewed, and were reminded before and…

because it’s been abnormally freezing on the east coast of the U.S. for a few weeks now. Even the southern areas that are normally 60F/15C this time of year have been as low as 25F/-4C. Hence, screen on my belleh while i’m huddled under a layer of electric blankets and comforters because the heat pump doesn’t run well…
