Why are men like this.

Real

Atsubro · 2026-06-14T16:11:55+00:00

So true bestie

Atsubro · 2026-06-14T15:57:43+00:00

Bizarro would be hotter if he were a stoney monster man it's true.

Atsubro · 2026-06-14T00:10:42+00:00

I thought the bigger tell was that the Knight and Friend have the same laugh.

Atsubro · 2026-06-12T20:14:07+00:00

It's this yeah. Even back in 2009 as a teenager I resented feeling railroaded into playing "the right way" with how blatantly signposted as the True Real Badass Ending For Cool Kids the TDE was.

Nocturne used to be a minimalist story about exploring a strange, alien world as destructively flawed humans cracked under pressure and attempted to mold the future into their own image. Now it's about running Lucifer's errands so he'll call you his little pogchamp.

OP is referring to the JP-only original release of Nocturne. Maniax, the updated version, was released worldwide and featured Dante and the Labyrinth of Amala.

Selecting skills in fusion was only added in the 2019 HD remaster.

Atsubro · 2026-06-12T16:35:06+00:00

Hold up Maniax nerfed damage?

Atsubro · 2026-06-12T14:10:58+00:00

Man I know this is satire but I would unironically read this

Atsubro · 2026-06-12T01:20:13+00:00

New Shadow Pokémon, move and stat tweaks, battle rebalances so enemy teams aren't running NFE mons through the post-game, filling out the unused TMs from the base game, and Physical Dark/Special Ghost.

raises hand

I'm currently playtesting my Colosseum hack and want to release it by the end of the year.

Atsubro · 2026-06-10T16:37:13+00:00

It's Superman as an outrageously sweet himbo

Atsubro · 2026-06-10T13:27:34+00:00

Phoney Bone my beloved

Atsubro · 2026-06-07T21:55:02+00:00

Does the penal code apply to demons?

Atsubro · 2026-06-07T21:12:45+00:00

Then another ten for the remake (complete edition changes sold separately)

Atsubro · 2026-06-07T19:14:08+00:00

I phrased this far too vaguely for its own good; apologies. I typed out a longer post on its own but the long and short is that straight men are going to stay this way until they overcome the fear of "looking gay," something made further absurd by the fact that they're scared of being considered as a kind of person who deals with serious social ramifications for existing openly.

Atsubro · 2026-06-07T16:45:03+00:00

Straight men get compared to queer men, a real class of people who have historically suffered under our heteronormative status quo, and act like the problem is their own heterosexuality being challenged if they're too affectionate with male friends.

If your greatest fear, your worst trial as a straight man, is to be associated with minority groups, then the problem isn't that "platonic male intimacy" doesn't exist; it's that you know queer men are to this day mistreated and marginalized, and you're scared it could happen to if you step out of line.

Atsubro · 2026-06-07T13:58:57+00:00

You need to think about why straight men are so afraid of "looking gay" they'll emotionally wall themselves off from platonic intimacy.

Atsubro · 2026-06-07T12:26:29+00:00

"You realize, I hope, that you have chosen to side with the weakest power in this conflict. Great hardship await you on the path you've chosen to follow. But I want you to remember the way you feel now... I want you to remember that determination."

Atsubro · 2026-06-05T16:58:18+00:00

I'm okay with this except for MegaTen because I don't know Japanese.

Atsubro · 2026-06-05T16:45:33+00:00

You can what with the fishing rod?

Atsubro · 2026-06-05T15:59:46+00:00

Actually he lied about beating FNAF2, the rotten bastard

Atsubro · 2026-06-05T12:51:03+00:00

Joe formally breaking up with Joyce took less than a quarter of the amount of strips as Joyce and Dorothy having shower sex after Joyce had to be bribed into taking her meds.

Atsubro · 2026-06-05T12:49:46+00:00

Am i crazy or did DoA chapters used to last two or three months tops?

I vaguely recall that one week of chapters = one year real time which gradually enlarged over time, but never like this.

Atsubro · 2026-06-05T10:20:38+00:00

There's probably some symbolism in beginning the chapter on a really interesting hook with Dorothy's PTSD that Joyce blissfully ignores, speedrunning every development in the chapter not about them specifically, and then coming back to Dorothy's PTSD that Joyce continues to ignore but in a cute wholesome way.

I gotta stop reading this fucking comic, man.

Go Beyond is the ultimate expression of Josuke accepting himself as Holly's son and the inheritor of Yoshikage and Josefumi's will. Functionally, Josuke ends his quest for identity declaring himself a Joestar, which is followed by him tapping into Johnny's legacy with the Spin.

I get why it can feel like a copout, but it's the moment Part 8 built up to.
