The Knight, Batman of England, as offscreen dialogue reads "when you're a kid all adults can seem like super-heroes, but they're just people"

🟠the essential thesis of the superhero is wanting someone strong enough to make everything okay and I think the fundamental modeling of that relationship for most people is paternal

Why does everyone think fiction is just fantasy wish fulfillment now and not like an exploration of themes and ideas? People will be like "this movie is evil and gross because it depicts a predatory relationship" and then you watch the movie in question and it's about how preying on young women is bad and impacts their lives negatively. "Why would they do this instead of just making everyone in the movie nice and normal and good" so we would have this conversation...

Exiting my deepest depression episode in years only to be smacked upside the head with the illiterate. This post by strawberrysdaughters on Tumblr keeps being relevant to my struggle as a writer on Webtoon LOLLL

this is also why it's bitchmade to whine about games trying to make you feel bad for actions you had to take

I don't know who needs to hear this but you are not the PC. and its genuinely baby-brained to be mad the game doesn't let you just Make Better Choices. then there wouldn't be a game, stupid!

i cant lie the more people recommend a game by saying its some kind of lifechanging masterpiece the less i wanna play it. i dont want to play red dead redemption 2 or outer wilds but if you tell me a game is pretty good and has fun systems im going to be more inclined to play it

Sorry I fixed it

pretty anime boy: this is it.. this is the final battle!

lotus juice track in the background: they think im he-man, shit man, i don't know man, whatever man, james bond shit double zero seven i got the master plan

Panel 1: Hey Fred, gimme a remake of a 90s classic with extra skill trees Panel 2: huh Panel 3: And hold the tank controls Panel 4: what Panel 5: And hold the turn-based combat Panel 6: The fuck Panel 7: Jimmy what the fuck is he talking about Panel 8: This is a restaurant

Imagine a burger

racking my head trying to figure out what game this could be referencing just to find out its a broad annoyance not a specific release.

something something The Fact I Thought It Could Be Real Says Something About Society

I've been playing Dragon Quest 3 (HD-Remake) and I came to a point where I needed to make a merchant to send off for the main story and I just kind of made a guy called "Fat Chud" thinking this would be of no consequence.

Immediately I'm faced with the consequence of my actions

your friendly neighborhood Henemimi here to say I will be mad about CR acquiring+ruining Rightstuf until I die. I haven’t bought any anime or manga since the acquisition and the fact they never actually bought the warehouse and niche stock has been rotting..evil company. hell company. explode

the cycle of samsara but it's everyone born after 1990 strapped to a big wheel and forced to endure reboots and remakes of the same 15 IPs from the 80s and early 90s eternally

imo the defining images of the kamala campaign

“oh no, they added a movie normal people have heard of to the criterion collection” is a top 5 fakest problem of all time

sure roger federer frees me up in tennis, but he's in trouble during the pankration bracket

I miss when shows had 50 episodes.

I would like there to be fewer shows which are longer and have time to develop their characters properly.

1 cour is not enough. 2 cours is barely enough.

I want 4 cour. Give me the good shit.

Watched 30 movies so far this year btw.

"Why is there all this privacy destruction?"

surveillance exists to create a chilling effect:

critical mass resulting in direct action typically arises from sentimental consensus.

if someone controls what you can say and hear, it follows that they can decide what you believe or do.

another important part is Suda pays tribute to Tatsushi Fujita, who was an environment artist for Grasshopper as far back as killer7. It's super awesome for Suda to pay tribute not just in this message but for the release of Romeo and the new game. It reminds everyone that games are made by humans.

There really should’ve been a generation in between Gen Z and Alpha. I see posts like “Gen Z doesn’t remember THIS show!” and im like “oh they’re talking about Still in Middle School Gen Z and not Pays for Own Car Insurance Gen Z”

If you're gonna read any quote from an article on the game, let it be this one, because I think it sums up a lot of the feelings of fans pretty succintly

A comic with 2 panels #1: A young person dramatically crying and standing with hands on a desk, yelling "OMG!!! WHY ARE ONLINE SPACES ALL GETTING ENSHITTIFIED?! WE'RE SO COOKED! WHERE ELSE CAN WE GO?!?!" with a dumpster fire in the background with Instagram, Twitter, Tiktok and Netflix labels on it. #2: Derpkitty (a cartoon lion) in the Elrond (from Lord of the Rings movies) meme, going "I was there, Gandalf. I was there 3,000 years ago... We'll be okay.", behind, a small hill with numerous grave markers with the following names of previous social media or online networks like Napster, Webrings, Angelfire, Livejournal, AIM, Geocities, Java chatrooms, ICQ, Guestbooks, Snapchat, Bulletin Boards, MySpace, Yahoo! Messenger, Newsgroups, Usenet, IRC, Skype (MSN) etc.

Oddly appropriate today eh? No matter how many online spaces come up then die, we're still here.

they probably got him a 3DS in prison for good behavior with the port

Would you take an Amy in these trying times?

I am never not thinking about how Atlus did a localization of SMT1, taking pains to maintain parity with the titles they'd already released in english, and it's trapped in an iOS port you can no longer play.

like what the fuck, man.

in a similar vein: it's crazy to me how many games with full or close to full localizations of ports for underpowered hardware don't reuse those translations for newer ports and leave international fans out to dry.
