Now you know how the average investor thinks and/or behaves

All you have to do is squint your eyes. Until they’re closed. And then imagine a frog.

I knew I wasn’t the only one.

Cool sweeper game tho

Any time I hear “capitalism breeds innovation”, I feel like grabbing a chair and swinging it.

That’s a comal, brethren. Make it out of carbon steel and it’ll do good tortillas for you.

He should have first recreated the carboniferous era so that the O2 levels in the atmosphere were as high as they used to be. What happened to sparing no expense?

You can’t trust the reviews, it’s true. But also, it’s very much a buyers market with games in general right now. The headline issue is only a problem if you take the side of AAA studios who have to compete with passion-driven indie projects that aren’t just out to make a buck.

I’m going to spend how much to play a game with an obligatory launcher after I already opened steam? And it’s badly optimised? 100gb you say? And I have to see ads for skins? And that’s competing with a game less than half the price that’s amazing, 3gb, no ads, and it can run on a decade old computer?

This is a big-budget problem. They made their omelette, and now they’ve got to sleep in it.

I saw the episode of Dark Tourism where they go to Turkmenistan. It seems like quite a grim and sheltered country. I wouldn’t have thought they sent anyone abroad for education, are you expected to return with certain skills?

Are you sure?

These days any good news is immediately suspect.

Oh, you discovered a new species of frog? And what do they want, pray tell?

Bruh

I’m not even sure bro is 21.

I came here to say Redline, but instead I will add Paprika, Dead Leaves, Dandadan, Gurren Lagann, and FLCL.

Hhhh yes I know some form of anarchism would probably be more egalitarian and just but a society will always have rules and mutual expectations and if we’re being honest no state can afford to let people see anarchism thrive, can they?

Yeah it’s not great the way supers tend to validate vigilantism. Ultimately you can have rule of law or some form of tyranny. There are middle grounds, but those are the options. Also the hero’s journey literary paradigm has regressive aspects. 🤓

I wish we would fund both. And socialized medicine.

And end hunger and homelessness.

This kind of post is so hard to process. Are you trying to make me believe in a just world? How dare you.

I hope so. Every other main character manages to humanise their stereotypes by containing interesting contradictions. This guy has definitely shown some promise in last week’s episode with how he helped out, it’d be cool to see him explore his identity as Okarun’s rival.

I’m less aware of anime tropes in general, is it so unlikely to to see a heel-face turn? DanDaDan is a coming of age story in general, and although some guys like him turn out to be terrible people, the vibe of this show feels like that’s not a move they’d want to make.

What a redemption arc though, if he can smooth out those rough edges and become a real friend
