I would rather read a longform article about this than watch a video

And thank heavens for that. Every time I’ve tried to dip my toe into the world of Trek Novels I’ve regretted it (I think the only passable ones I’ve picked up are Debtor’s Planet & Imzadi)

i’m so mad I scrolled to the comments

yes. I still think the show was at its strongest when it was “street wise sarah pretends to be by the rules cop beth” and the other clones pretending to be other clones. the overarching plot just did not do it for me

I loved this show but it really lost me once it got around to the Castor clones.

I’m about 40 in, up to the 3rd area, and I won’t lie: When I got access to the second area I kept thinking “wait, already? there’s still so much more to see”

I’ve honestly been waiting for someone else to mention that bizarre colonial overtones of this narrative.

Kanto has Pokemon at the time of this game, it’s mentioned in dialog that there are a few people in Kanto who are training pokemon

the small number of battles is completely confusing to me - feels entirely like dev laziness. would’ve made perfect sense for members of the survey corps to want to test themselves in battle against each other

I’ve been telling my wife that what makes me the most upset about this game is that absolutely nothing good about it will carry over to the next game

one of the most part fun parts of this game has been seeing a new pokemon and then waiting to see how it will react to me. never expected paras and geodude to be so aggressive

Am I excited to get live action Damian Wayne? Yes. Do I think they’ll get anything about the character (including not just casting a white kid?) right? Absolutely not.

I wish I could push back on this but I tried to get my wife into She-Hulk with the Dan Slott run and accidentally handed her the first issue of his second volume rather than the first.

I’m definitely on the fence about prison abolition as a short term goal but I’m on the board for getting rid of the death penalty. It really does not feel like it solves any problems.

From the AP article about the pizza hut commercial:

I’ve wanted to switch to an android since running into problems with my the iPhone 7 i upgraded to last year (for instance: all of my browsers crash constantly! the phone crashes taking photos!)

Drums, easily. Flats are only valid if they’ve got the wing tip attached.

Exactly. It will never make sense to me how people who complain about how complicated comics are to get into recommend folks jump into One Piece

Way back in the day I binged the first 400 or so chapters of One Piece back when everyone was raving about it. Loved the art and the character designs but I did not get the appeal. There was just too much other good stuff out at the time to read (although sticking with Naruto didn’t end up being the best choice…
