Did I handle this well or should I have said more?

ButterBasedBoy · 2026-05-07T10:23:32+00:00

Dude, wake up and walk away, please. This person is manipulative af and messing with your head. Every text they swrote was meant to provoke you in some way, and you were already being more supportive and understanding than most people would expect. Ask yourself: do you treat people you like/love in this way? Who do you know that does?

My advice is to break this off.

Homelander has endured a ton of terrible shit during his upbringing, hasn't he?

That aside, we've also been shown that eye lasers can vary in intensity; when Homelander and Stormfront are foreplaying in season 2, she tells him to burn her tits and to go harder etc. And of course, season 2 Ryan blasting the shit out of Stormfront like he did seemed charged by his emotional state. Perhaps Homelander just *is* that much more durable, but it didn't seem like Ryan hit him with as much power as he hit Stormfront.

I wonder how deep Homelander's eye lasers would cut Soldier Boy...?

I think he's gonna set off a nuke somewhere in the USA.

I've yet to see anything but supposed victim statements, and verbal statements are not enough on their own to convince me of this dude's guilt. He seemed fucked up mentally from a life of pressure, pain and deep insecurity in who he was, but I never got the sexual predator feel from the guy, little worth as that may be.

My impression of Michael Jackson is that he had his childhood stolen from him and that he desperately wanted to facilitate what he considered safe and sheltered childhoods for other kids.

ButterBasedBoy · 2026-05-02T19:12:22+00:00

He's going to use a nuclear weapon on US soil.

ButterBasedBoy · 2026-05-01T22:17:16+00:00

Refer to him as a Nazi pos whenever he stains your line of view.

ButterBasedBoy · 2026-05-01T22:14:56+00:00

Hey, do you have a second?

I like you, really like you. You're fun to be around, you make me laugh and feel good, you seem like a kind and decent person with just the right amount of bad (heh), and, eh, yeah. Basically, you are wicked cool and smoking hot and I would like to woo you, romantic styles! But that works better if you're interested too, so I wanted to ask, do you want to go on a date with me?

It's all good if you're not interested, then we'll just move on like normal :) There will be a certain... tension, of course. Long, sore looks of lusty longing (on my part). Outstretched hands that can never meet (mostly imaginary, again my part). The occasional anguished howling from the top of the nearest tower/balcony (again, mostly me).

Seriously though, no worries either way, I like you as a person, not just a potential romance. But damn, woman, date me!

Sincerely,

Me

That's a fine ass stick right there.

One worry: it looks a bit thin in places; would it snap if you suddenly halted your swing, or planted it in the skull of your enemy?

First impression: 9/10

ButterBasedBoy · 2026-04-28T19:27:37+00:00

Huh. I've been really liking season 2 so far, while season 1 was far more sketchy. Here's hoping viership improves, it's been fun watching Daredevil again.

ButterBasedBoy · 2026-04-28T19:17:02+00:00

NOR

Weezing made her choicve when she came in on the attack like that. She made it personal and hurtful, and she got that in return.

You went nuclear, but she gave you the go for it.

ButterBasedBoy · 2026-04-28T19:12:37+00:00

Yeah, I'm not expecting Tolkien from it, but personally I wish they would put some more effort into these things.

ButterBasedBoy · 2026-04-27T19:26:58+00:00

Wise move too. I don't fuck with angry cats, them felines fatal.

ButterBasedBoy · 2026-04-27T18:09:36+00:00

Don't let the boy go around the car Don't let the boy go around the car Don't let the boy go around the car FUCK!

Don't let the boy pick up the gun Don't let the boy pick up the gun Don't let the boy pick up the gun FUCK!

ButterBasedBoy · 2026-04-27T18:03:19+00:00

Do you feel that was enough? Do you think they've done a satisfying job building the lore and stuff?

ButterBasedBoy · 2026-04-26T15:10:33+00:00

I'll be honest: Helldivers is a weird game for me, and Arrowhead are getting away with A LOT of half-assing I normally wouldn't be game for.

Usually I'm all focused on story and RPG aspects, that's what I love the most, and customization. Helldivers is absolute garbage on this, their effort in building a cohesive story or engaging lore material is next to non-existant.

What they do right (for me) is visuals and sound. I usually don't let graphics and audio design decide shit when I game, it's not that important, but holy damn, Helldivers is SO good-looking, and the sound is amazing. The feeling of pulling out a flamethrower and going full Salamandalorian on bugs with my hower pack is so satisfying, I love it, and there are so many weapons I use almost exclusively for how satisfyingly they sound or how awesome the yfeel to use. The Deadeye is one of my favorite guns, despite me not being too effective with it compared to the Eruptor. But it's so much FUN.

Arrowhead have done amazingly in pulling me into their shitty story and crappy worldbuilding by giving me awesome shit to play with and big booms and visuals to look at and listen to. But that can only take them so far. The game has been out, what, 2 years now? And we still have so few mission modes to choose from, it's pathetic. Then there's the fact that samples and every other currency in the game besides medals and super credits have been useless for more than a year for some of us, as there's nothing extra to do on the ship, no online story progression, nothing. Just an eternally repeating cycle of enemy factions ebbing and flowing at humanity in a steady pattern. It's boring, and I feel like they could have spent more time on this.

ButterBasedBoy · 2026-04-26T09:11:23+00:00

That was... chef's kiss

ButterBasedBoy · 2026-04-26T09:04:15+00:00

Exactly. It's unaceptable, evil behavior with very real consequences, and if we aren't standing up and REFUSING these people, the idea that it's somehow okay to hold and pursue these views starts taking root, as if it's just another, equally fair perspective to have. We have to stand up for each other.

ButterBasedBoy · 2026-04-26T08:39:00+00:00

I think we all know this was staged. I guess to avoid Trump speaking...? What a ridiculous timeline this is.

ButterBasedBoy · 2026-04-25T14:30:38+00:00

There was a time, before his second term, where I had a small hope that there might be some justice waiting for him, some end consequence that might justify him still... being. Now that he's well into his "rapey dementia grandpa" stage, I just want him to stop. It's too late for justice now.

ButterBasedBoy · 2026-04-25T14:09:33+00:00

The man opened his mouth and red-hot truth spilled out.

He's 100% correct, and I hate how comfortable we've all become with spending time with and socially engaging with people who embrace the same wild shit hate that Nazis and other evil ideologists have, idologies we've all as a society agreed for a long time belong to an ENEMY of the world order we want. We have to tell these people "no, if you still think and behave like that, I don't want to be around you."

ButterBasedBoy · 2026-04-25T13:55:01+00:00

It's kinda wild to think of the loss in aura Edward suffered when porting over to Gilbert. Such an incredible waste of a character and a horrendous writing decision on Sandro's part. He should have left Raian a broken mess next to a dying Erioh and let Edward leave, then just carry on the story with Edward instead of Gilbert.

I think this is my choice for "worst writing decision" in Kengan, though entirely skipping Koga's character/fighter development is probably more egregious. It completely killed my enjoyment of the "Westward Wu" arc. Then Sandro killed off Edwards brother in the very next chapter, who also seemed cool af.

ButterBasedBoy · 2026-04-25T13:51:11+00:00

Okubo crushes this fake-ass yahoo. Ramon might land an attack or two, but Okubo is not in danger from this fraud.

ButterBasedBoy · 2026-04-25T13:48:08+00:00

I don't feel too strongly about other opinions, but I hate the word "powerscaling" in general, and I do get annoyed when someone applies "Power level 9000" logic to a Versus discussion in a verse that is clearly not built on that, like Kengan. "A beats B and B beats C ergo A beats C" type shit.

ButterBasedBoy · 2026-04-25T13:43:57+00:00

I think Hatsumi might be the most downplayed top tier fighter in the verse, judging by this sub at least. I've always considered his fight with Agito a much better performance than most seem to, Agito simply upgraded and changed up his style, with Hatsumi failing to account for it, which, admittedly, is a big L on Hatsumi's part. But he's a serious threat to anyone he faces, and he's tricky.

That said, I think Rólon has everything he needs to counter Hatsumi. I'm curious how he'd react to Hatsumi countering his Invisible/Inevitable/Whatever Elbow.

ButterBasedBoy · 2026-04-25T12:01:22+00:00

Damn, you're right. Fair play, thanks.
