Gurren Lagann and Cross Ange make any game they're in worse for it!

Also Super Robot Wars J was super fun and better than some of the console titles.

V and T were great and X was okay. Wataru helped in the latter's case.

Finally got a chance to watch this. I was going to say that it overemphasizes taking twitter proclamations literally when so much of online is just blowing off steam and bullying out of powerlessness and frustration, so a lot of that “I’ll never vote for Biden” discourse is hyperbole. But I realize Contrapoints has a young audience that is extremely online, so there is something to breaking down the harm-reduction argument for people who might take that stuff more seriously than the average shitposter.

I knocked doors and phonebanked for Bernie in January-March and it was exhausting. People were mostly nice, but I hate talking to people and just wanted to jump out of my skin and run away. I don’t know what it takes for a person to be motivated to do it or get energized by it. It would take a hell of a candidate to motivate me to do that again, maybe AOC if we’ve reached the point where GOTV can be done via shitposting.

Harm reduction doesn't work with Biden and crew because no harm gets reduced. It's a dumb argument that doesn't work in this particular instance.

It's a complicated subject with multiple factor. Reading Thomas Frank and Chris Edges give a pretty good view at the failures of America LIberalism and how we got to where we are, with no real solution. Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent is also a classic.

Democrats using bullshit excuse to throw the Greens off the ballot tells you all you need to know about how they really feel about Democracy.

Super Robot Wars is a mecha anime mega crossover turn based stregy RPG game franchise with over fifty games. While the series has been almost exclusively a Japan only franchise due to licensing issues and general lack of interest in the west, they've recently ventured out into providing full English translations, ostensibly for the South East Asia market but with the side effect of making them very easy to import and play for English speakers the world over.

Also a fun fact, the lead translator, and some members of her team, are goons.

SRW owns and the new ones in english got some pretty good translations. Def worth playing.

There's been, like, six musical adaptations so I don't know which one they had in Quebec, but I'm specifically referring to the one Disney made. First they did a German one for a few years and then retooled it and did it in English. Never made it to Broadway, I guess Disney decided that we wanted Frozen instead. The full cast recording is on YouTube, it slaps.

I'd like to be happy that Trump got ousted, because seriously gently caress that guy, but I see no difference with Biden so all I get is bitterness and depression.

SO instead I'm going to rewatch all of the Mark Remark, which was amazing online creator content. It's all on youtube, watch it if you never did.

I remember in Dune. Frank Herbert made the heroes so drat pragmatic and cynical that he felt he had to make Baron Harkonnen rape and kill children just to put the scales back in order as to who the villain was.


It seemed kind of hamfisted to be honest because the Baron was good villain in his own right.

There's no shadow government involved in believing in ghosts!

And a lot less racism as far as I've seen, even though it's weird that the ghosts are either evil and from like, 1980 or something at the latest. You don't see a lot of Roman or BC ghosts in stuff. At least I feel like you get defrosted caveman and then we jump to like, five decades back as far as that goes.

I mean the Hierarchy of Stygia is a pretty evil shadow ghost government.

It was explicitly to provoke the US into invading the Middle East so that al-Qaeda could use it to radicalise the population against the West with the long-term goal of involving the US in so many protracted conflicts that its economy would collapse, creating worldwide political instability.
