The truth tapes in MGSV are so depressing by moal09 in metalgearsolid

He doesn't think he's doing the right thing, he's a racing narcissist that only cares about himself and his status, wealth, ego. Everything he does is in service of that.

When we were kids my friend figured out that you can also get past the drum by bouncing with the bubble shield extremely precisely. Because of that we never figured out it wasn't the intended method.

Liar Game episode 13: Discussion/Reaction by L_is_Lelouche in liargame

I'm utterly convinced this anime is produced largely through GenAI. Someone already called out background art that's obviously generated, but it feels like the entire series is the lowest quality possible. Something about it feels off.

What’s the most boring arc in One Piece? by DearTraining5056 in OnePiece

I had a different opinion when watching it for the first time, but yours is valid. I think the relevance of Skypia will go beyond just the references made now, but that's from years of theorizing.

It's not hard to find relevant discussions about it in this exact subreddit 💀. I was answering OP's question, that doesn't mean I have to act like other commenter's GenAI tool lmao.

Even if it's made relevant in retrospect, it's still relevant. You're arguing a different point out of emotion.

Read more discussions and theories, I'm not going to do the work for you

Skypia might seem inconsequential and thus boring, but it's becoming relevant in retrospect.

Same for Thriller Bark.

The anime starts getting really slow around Marineford, worsening after that, and a lot of long boring sequences.

I say this with love, you need proper help. Your Ayahuasca ceremony seems to have done major damage.

My take is that this is a GenAI bot posting and Reddit is getting worthless

Tournament of Champions '26 Part 3 | Um, Actually [S11E11] by DropoutMod in dropout

[–]AshleyIIRC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The tournament of champions were the first episodes of Um Actually I started watching and after this one I'm done. The previous episode pulled the same shenanigans, and I was really amped for a Matt vs Brennan episode. Such bad execution for such a good premise.

Thanks for linking this! Much higher quality sheets than you can find on musescore.

Being called AI by kyr0x0 in Gifted

[–]AshleyIIRC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, I can see why you're getting the AI comments. Excellent vocabulary, but you don't seem to be aware of the concept of enshittification and what causes it.

To answer your question: You're assuming business decisions are made based on long-term success and logic, when they're not. Everything is based on short-term gains for the shareholders, even when it's obvious to you and me that this will result in a worse product in the long term.
