What I love about DE is that it's a game just begging for you to engage with it on a deeper level, to the point where if you refuse to do so it will constantly call you a boring gently caress. It's great!

Mole lady and a bazooka that ate a devil fruit and turned into a dog that sneezes explosive baseballs?

The imagination on display here is amazing.


Which makes it even more funny that Miss all Sundays power is so unimaginative. It's like they hired the pokemon writers to think of a power.

You seem like you're trying to conquer One Piece instead of enjoy it.

Not a criticism, just an observation.

Anyway, Sunday uses her power in creative ways.

Sunday rules.

gently caress, he's got a Part 3 coming!?

I guess I should have expected this. There is a lot of material in Starship Troopers the film that is extremely uncomfortable to discuss, let alone come to terms with in a modern context. It's a film that scares me because what it said was true back then, is more true now, and beyond even fascist American hegemony, we are failing gloriously and falling right into the routines the film presents as normal.

If Part 1 was how a man like Heinlein extrapolates on the concepts of Starship Troopers and Part 2 is how that concept and the culture that birthed it is viewed and adapted by Dutch culture, Part 3 has got to be a reckoning of the two and what both works say.

It's real hard to showcase that in a screenshot though vs "here's a joke I thought was funny"

If I ever manage to to successfully convey the emotions of informing a woman her husband died through my posting I will have transcended posting.

Like, gently caress me, the story goes from funny hijinks in a cursed commercial building to that. No matter how much of a disaster someone is playing, I'm willing to bet they are going to sober up for that one.

I really appreciate Allison’s deep dive of Baywatch media because it’s so much more bonkers than I ever thought. I always assumed it was standard drowning-person rescue poo poo plus some soap opera content with the ultimate purpose of showcasing hot people in bathing suits running in slow motion.

The truth is so much more fascinating.

This was a really good episode. Also because I've been on a passing patlabor kick recently I was quick to notice he used the Manga Entertainment dub for the Arakawa speech in the clip he played.

He needs to do a video on Patlabor at some point.

The end has a bit of writing that is, as far as I'm concerned, genuinely magnificent, turning something that's maybe the most base level disgusting into something beautiful. It really, totally, made me think differently about bugs.

Yeah I really didn't see that scene coming but it really made me tear up when I played it. I forgot what skill(s) I needed but I'm really glad I had them because the conversation with the phasmid was one of the most beautiful moments in the game.

i feel like one of the things i like about Mandalorian is that it does the "mystery box" stuff well because it doesn't make the boxes the core of the story and the story doesn''t spin its wheels screaming "whats in the box".

She made a feature-film-length video about how twitter is noxious and bad for your mental health, and she was only going to use it for promotional purposes going forward, and having checked it now because you brought it up, it seems like she was until Contra tried to make a "mend bridges" tweet thread. (And it looks like that's all deleted now so obviously that didn't go over well at all.) So now Lindsay has a tweet thread that's just kind of the same things she said in her video. Is that an accurate summary based on skimming or is there something I'm missing that's worth lol'ing at?

To be clear, I'm not a "bro". And I don't want to gently caress Lindsay Ellis or engage with her content because she and Contra really do need to stop posting about cancelling or being cancelled and find their peace away from twitter because neither of them are capable of handling direct engagement on it well at all. I think there is way too much of a gleeful CAD/Chris-chan tier of hate fandom built up around them that's pretty unhealthy and poo poo too, and maybe you'd find a more fulfilling experience just posting on Kiwifarms if you're going to do poo poo like that here?

I mean, if she's done something worth laughing at or calling her out for, go ahead and post about it. If we're hitting the point where we need to go and dig around for reasons to mock someone like "Wow, still tweeting huh? Idiot." then that's really scraping the bottom of the barrel. I've had fun in some mockthreads before, and whenever you're having to grub around for poo poo like that to get mad at, that's a pretty good sign the thread's run its course or going to have to resort to doxxing to keep the funny flowing.
