We’ve “investigated” the sexuality of most major MCU characters so far, at least protagonists. They’ve all been straight. And I don’t think anyone would mention it being shoehorned in if Loki had just been asked about past women by Sylvie. But that’s usually how conversations about this go. Non-straight people need…

How is this show less about sex than anything else in the MCU? Almost all of them have a romantic subplot of some sort, just all straight. Did that bother you too? And ‘pushed’ is a strong word for something mentioned offhand in a single line. 

I wonder if “close remake” will be something like the Evolutions set, where old card received HP and damage adjustments but were aesthetically the same. It looks like this set will be standard legal and a card like this as-is is pretty useless compared to newer cards.

Not that anyone will actually be able to buy this…

It’s also a little suspect if you position your game as if it is trying to comment on issues of race and the only major black character is a villain a white main character kills. All the rest are just nameless targets to shoot.

My eyes glazed over during the trailer so I didn’t even notice how bland that dude in the middle is until I looked at the picture in this article. The other two guys are wearing the over-the-top Nomura outfits, Garland has his crazy armor, and this guy comes in wearing a henley and has no personality. 

That’s a good point. There are still ways to deck search them, but they’re pretty limited. You would have to use cards that let you search any Pokemon or any card generally and that doesn’t leave a lot of options.

Though I don’t play much anymore, just collect. And recently, not even that very much. I love the art on…

Correction: Dracovish and Dracozolt.

I like that idea, but it could be an issue that the different pieces are used differently in each fossil Pokemon. For example, Dracozolt and Arctozolt both use the same tail piece but their heads are at opposite ends of it. They would have to do something really weird with the art for that to work.

It looks to me like she was sliced in half and her torso is now sliding off. A think I have seen happen in anime, at least.

Yeah, that wasn’t obvious. Definitely looked like a judgement of how they spent their free time to me. I’m sorry responding in disagreement was so bothersome to you that you brought in weird personal accusations. I probably should have started that conversation less sarcastically.

Right. Because jumping to conclusions of projection or white knighting when people are critical of your comment is super chill.

Disparaging someone’s hobby because you think it’s a waste of time is a put down, at least indirectly. There’s no way I’d ever play one game this many times either but it’s not an inherently more valuable way of spending free time than playing a variety of games. But I guess you’re also allowed to be weirdly…

In addition to its uses for accessibility, I wish this was how more games approached difficulty settings. Ideally, there would be some preset options with some sliders to tweak it. 

This reminds of the city from Detective Pikachu being a place where Pokémon battles were banned. That would require a lot of people in that movie’s world to be opposed to them, which is quite different from the world of the games. I wonder if that was a result of the movie’s creators wanting to avoid confronting the…

It does kind of seem like you are. Probably a common cause for being a dick and putting others down. Anyway, I hope you have something that you are able to enjoy and get a personal sense of accomplishment from regardless of what others deem the worth of it to be.

I also did not know about the lockers! That baby is one of the most unsettling creatures in the series. Most bosses are gross, but the designs are basically “Make it bigger and add some tentacles or something.”

Oh no, someone spent their free time doing a thing they enjoy that negatively impacts no one.

I started going for a lot of walks during lockdown and playing again after a long lapse. Once I realized that 25% of all experience needed to get to level 40 is from 39 to 40, I quit. The grind is just too much. 

Fear Street was more PG13, if that helps? But still, the Goosebumps books were fun because there were darkly humorous elements to them. Fear Street tried to be more serious, but not too mature, and did end up kind of boring as a result.

I was naively expecting a twist where they weren’t really in Eastern Europe at all and it was a simulated environment of some sort. I needed an explanation for why everyone had American accents.
