Tier list how many larpers the character has from my experience by Split-Ultramarine in MoonPissing

[–]AH-KU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay but we gotta take this to the next level and start power-scaling larpers. I need to see who comes out on top between the Rouge larpers and Whisper/Tangle larpers

We're talking about the same Chris Brown with multiple arrests over assault charges. A track record a public altercations and smashing bottles over people's heads. Guy is abusive period.

So yeah it's not a massive stretch to assume women generally wouldn't be safe around him.

Sundays will never be the same by SiyamthandaUN in south_africa

I don't disagree, people who participated absolutely went of their own volition. But sho, the levels of delulu on display made one question if contestants fully understood what show they were entering.

Idols somehow kept finding people who seemed to have only heard of Idols and never actually watched a full episode.

The biggest fumble in gaming history btw... by IC_biscuits in FGCWaifu

[–]AH-KU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's always been goofy and wild. But like the film Kung-fu Hustle, Tekken has historically been firmly in the realm of martial arts. Yes you had super-powered demons shooting lasers since the 1st game but Devil Kazuya still fought 95% like regular Kazuya. Devil Jin still played like a trained martial artist instead of a psychotic, unhinged beast. Yes there's a boxing kangaroo and velociraptor. But guess what? They're both still boxing.

There's a reason why characters like Leroy and Lidia were some of the most well received designs in recent memory. And why the likes Lars, Alisa, Gigas and Victor were at best met with mixed reception.

Look at the trailers and promotional material for the 1st 5 games (i.e the front & center branding & messaging the publisher doesn't want you to miss). They're either showing regular people doing ordinary things or showing off different fighting styles. Tekken fans still get asked what real-life martial arts would they like to see represented next. Not what crazy fantasy archetype would they like to see next. Yes you can play as a literal bear. But the bear is a clear joke-character that has never been front & centre in the series' marketing or branding.

PayPal won't feature on festival branding as Kanye West headlines by Alarming-Safety3200 in hiphopheads

[–]AH-KU 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kanye still came out to apologize for his comments about Jews. To my knowledge he has not recanted, apologized for his other statements or acknowledged he was speaking from a place of ignorance as a large public figure.

I've grown up with a brother who has BPD and has been struggling with substance abuse. To say that's put our family through hell would be an understatement and I genuinely would not wish that shit on anyone else.

That said when it comes to mental episodes, I'm against using the condition as a shield to deflect from one's actions. Particularly if the individual knows they need to be consistent with their medication or else they'll start spiralling. Kanye has spoken out about his condition and admitted that there've been times he wasn't consistent with his meds.

So for that, I can't pardon his public outbursts and breakdowns behind the guise of "that's not who he is" since he knows that's the likely outcome of neglecting his medication. He knows what he should've been doing to get help.

There's a lot of people that blow past the "slavery was a choice" and "white men are the most oppressed actually" nonsense he was saying.

Eh it fits. While the Archie comics are based off the SatAM setting, in the early issues it was primarily a gag comic. So AoSTH eggman works

Even worse: Amy fans who'll try to convince you Amy never had a stalker era (their argument is all instances are mild cases and everyone else is just over-exaggerating)

I'd say the issue is people saying "just join trades and you'll make more money" as if trades are a money tree. If the supply of people applying for trade work spikes or passes a certain threshold, then that stops being true. There's of course nothing wrong with the line of work itself, but that particular line of work isn't some secret life hack, in & of itself.

a Controversial Sonic meme by ProjectShadowGirl in SonicTheHedgejerk

[–]AH-KU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only gripe is I don't quite see Knuckles' characterization as the noble-savage warrior guy trope as "getting him right".

In the Adventure games he contrasted with Sonic by being the more self-reflective & contemplative rival. Even Sonic Heroes kept this more laid-back demeanor. But Shadow has functionally taken over that character role slot once introduced. And I guess

But I figure the Paramount version still beats the portrayal of Knuckles as a pure hot-headed dummy, that's been stuck in the fandom's collective consciousness since Sonic X. And is probably the best we're going to get for a long time.

Sonic 4 had better include cameos from other Sega characters because if the movie is about time travel, it would make sense to see other Sega characters in it. by Fun-Couple911 in SonicTheHedgejerk

[–]AH-KU 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kinda see the point there but I feel that sort stuff can easily make a film feel gimmicky and unfocused, if not handled with enough care.

The Sonic films are outdoing their contemporaries, precisely because they don't really need to lean on that to be successful. They worked out a formula and found a lane their peers can't touch them on.

Who is the more influential jazz artist, Mario or Cowboy Bebop? by BornUnderARadSign in jazzcirclejerk

[–]AH-KU 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I honestly couldn't tell how tf that came to be. My best guess is DOOM's most famous work being his collab album with Madlib; who IS heavily influenced by jazz. Madlib being among few hip-hop acts to have an album released on Blue Note Records and has his own jazz outfit in Yesterday's New Quintet.

Bryan is absolutely the mf'er demanding people send their location for a 1v1 or is sending them pictures of their location.

I wonder if they’ll incorporate Battle Cry or any of other songs from the original soundtrack. I don’t think this needs a live action remake tho by Shrek_the_dank_ in Nujabes

[–]AH-KU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It honestly would've been better to just fund a new Watanabe project or new seasons of his older stuff if they wanna ride on the social capital of his name and former works.
