Sorry, I thought I'd made it clear enough :(

A middle aged woman went to an anime convention, held a panel, and during the panel she brought up that adult women who sexually like little boys would enjoy the show because they can pretend that they are the character's mother. This was not her making an awful joke, this was her sincerely suggesting this.

I'm sincerely sorry I asked.

There are some awful people in this world, some maliciously so, and some through lack of self awareness and ignorance, and hoo boy am I hoping that her not running a panel last time is a sign that she's just gonna stop outright. And that was just the second worst thing she said at that con.

The joke is that you don't want someone like that at your wedding.

Reposting because I'm a dumbass and didn't realize there's a new thread:

Motherboard just posted a neat article about NESticle and its author and other people who were involved along the way. Some parts of the story are more dramatic than I would expect.

Never played the 3DS version but Xenoblade is one of my all-time favorite games ever. It only gets better. Enjoy!

I have to give Prey credit. It's pretty ballsy to make a spiritual successor to System Shock 2, a game heavily criticized for its item degradation, be focused entirely around breaking down items.

When people found out that the Steam Greenlight game Anubis and the Buried Bone was secretly a furry porn game one of the creepier things about it was that the name of the company releasing it was Kemosho Co, which is a portmanteau of 'kemono' (furry) and 'shota' (pedophile) :furcry::hf::pedo:

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

I never expected that clip to be good, I was more just dumbfounded by how **bad** it was.

Like, I don't watch the simpsons, the few episodes I did watch that I enjoyed were from the 90s and maybe early 2000s, and I knew people said that the simpsons had gotten bad and I'd seen a couple of random bits from later seasons that were definitely not good, but I had no idea just how dire it was.

It's especially bad when you remember where Simpsons used to fall politically.

It'd be like South Park suddenly going all in against opinionless apaths.

I wouldn't say that they were not good in the early seasons but I am more than willing to entertain the notion that it just kinda came out at the right time and there is a lot of nostalgia associated with it that influences people's opinions. I mean I haven't gone back and watched it in years.

I wonder how much longer it will go

what the gently caress is that simpsons clip

also there's a lot of genuinely really good stuff in the earlier seasons imo, even when they're not strictly funny they're pretty entertaining to watch and the rougher animation in the really early seasons has a lot of personality

Yeah, the golden age of the Simpsons is not a myth. I have my own personal moment where it went downhill, just like everyone else, but there are so many Simpsons memes and references floating around for a reason and it deserved to be the enormous cultural force it was in the late 90s and early 00s.

I've only ever played the first game but I heard the later games fixed the item world at least. The item world in the first game is just dreadful due to how easy it is for the game to generate a map you can't finish. It's such a massive slog.


The humor is real hit or miss in D1 too imo, mainly because it relies on a lot of juvenile humor that sometimes can be funny but otherwise is just kinda random and out there, like "oh hey the human lady said she's afraid of being molested by demon tentacles hahaha" or "hey that zombie is wielding a horse dick for a weapon lol" or "lmao laharl is allergic to sexy women so he can only be around unsexy weapon and has to avoid boobs as much as possible" or "the angel is sneaking around shouting NIN NIN because she thinks that's what ninjas do"

It isn't all just monkey cheese random stuff but I feel like they rely on it a bit too much in disgaea 1. There are funny jokes that stand on their own, like the gigantic overlord fight, but other times it's just "isn't this wacky??" and that doesn't always work.
