I don't think it's good to dogpile him.

If he doesn't feel comfortable going into details, I do understand.

But I would avoid making comments like that if you don't want responses asking you to elaborate.

If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss be like "omg chat am I being rizz'd?"

Why? Please explain.

I think Martin is saying, anyone who sees it that way.

What these people don't get is that, it isn't necessarily *just* about what he's said, so far. (Though a lot of that is bad, if not disqualifying.)

It's what he's compromised. It's his lack of consistency. It's his duplicitous approach to every situation.

He's a fucking snake.

I agree with you, personally.

At least, in that I believe Scarlet and Violet are fundamentally flawed games in terms of their presentation, which drags down the rest of the game in a substantial way.

Pokopia sounds like the first Pokemon game in ages that's come out that I've heard genuinely solid praise for that hasn't come with a ton of caveats!

Unfortunately, I don't think I can justify a Switch 2 for it.

Ah, but there, I'd actually seen Hunter X Hunter. I'd just not realized how much it influenced my writing for that scene.

Modo is ✨️ICON✨️

And do your part by refraining from "smell-this activism."

"Did you see this awful thing this awful man said? Here, look. Isn't it awful? Isn't he awful?"

...Why are you doing that?

Why are you the free street team for the worst people online? Why are you signal-boosting misery?

Don't do that.

It's a similar situation of Death Note, where – even if you take moral issue with what Light is doing – any character who is an obstacle for Light draws ire from the audience, as the story cannot continue if Light is caught. So you root for Light to overcome those obstacles.

Yeah, agreed, but that doesn't come anywhere close to making her a bad person/worth hating. She made a bad decision with a fucked up situation.

True enough. Skylar hate tells me a *lot* about a person. Nothing good.

Yeah, it does run up against that a bit.

I definitely wonder what the overall intent there was, because it does feel as if you're supposed to feel pity for this dude as he's put through this torture.

I have read that argument more times than I can fucking count and it kills me.

The main avenue of enjoyment *does* come from his failure, though, right? Watching his ineptitude (combined with reality bending toon logic on the behalf of the Roadrunner) lead him to countless bouts of physical violence upon him.

But remember, Skylar is the real villain, because she fucked another man

*After* she plainly told Walter they were over because he was a murderous meth dealer and tried to remove him from the house but he lied to the cops.

Oh damn, that's actually apt as fuck?

And hating Skylar is a red flag.

Anyway, watch Pluribus, it's phenomenal.

I remember having never seen Breaking Bad but seeing the "I am the one who knocks!" and "You're god damn right" memes and thinking, "Oh shit so he becomes a cool villain as the show goes on."

And then I got to those scenes and LAIGHED, BECAUSE HE'S ACTUALLY A TOTAL EGO-TRIPPING FUCKUP.

Walter White was a fucking loser the entire time.

Like, actually. He's a narcissist who fucks up everyone's lives around him because he can't stop being an insecure man child.

People being dumb as shit re: media literacy is not the failure of the show, nor Vince Gilligan.

I don't think this is what is generally branded as "AI" though? Like this is just pretty standard deepfake VFX, they've had this for years.

They're trying to umbrella term "AI" as basically anything done on a computer to obfuscate the actually bad generative LLM shit.

I’m telling you all right now - if there is an episode that would win Alex an award, it’s this one.

When you’re done losing your collective minds over what happens, make sure you take the time to congratulate him. He deserves every single reminder that he’s capable, creative, and goddamn TALENTED.
