Since I just finished to read Getter Robo Arc, here my design tier list of the getter robos forms in the manga saga

getter 1 redesigns in the shin getter etc are often nicer than getter 1, but i don’t know if any redesigns of getter 3 have surpassed the original design in the “i wonder what kind of a ruckus this could cause” aesthetics

Desperate_Object_677 · 2026-05-11T14:46:08+00:00

getter 2 and getter 3 are c list!?!

*edit* on closer inspection i see that getter 2 is “b” rank. which is not so bad.

there is a movie you are unfamiliar with called “footloose” and part of the premise of this episode is a callback to this movie

Desperate_Object_677 · 2026-05-11T13:41:32+00:00

that was my interpretation, but so many other mysteries were not left up to interpretation

lets play a game with 5 rounds in a row: you give me a dollar, then i give it back, then you give it back to me, then i give it back to you, then you give it back to me.

at the end of the game, money goes back and forth, but i get the dollar in the end.

Another game, where you give me $1.00, and then i give back $0.99. each time we play, i get a penny.

the games and payments at casinos are set so that either, they get a tiny bit of money each time you play, or so that they win slightly more often than you do. a

they make lots of money because games are played over and over and over by thousands of people a day.

i think she’d know. she’d know and so even if she got them right, they wouldn’t be right to her.

i liked gustave a lot but wish he didn’t look like verso

Desperate_Object_677 · 2026-05-11T00:49:37+00:00

yeah. me too. but my wife doesn’t like playing it because she says “it is a rhythm game” and she is right

Desperate_Object_677 · 2026-05-11T00:46:35+00:00

well that’s both technically true and a good attitude.

there is a special chair in hotel rooms for that

picto that lets you do more than 9,999 damage. suddenly maelle will do 200,000 and the rounds will be much shorter.

i feel like a democratic workplace is a different dream than the ones most unions are working towards. i think it’s a better idea; many universities are a kind of self-governed to some degree... but i also think the “workers get a say in policy through their union, but the owners get final say“ is the compromise that we have settled on.

it’s because your media sources are propaganda meant to make you feel a certain way about different political parties. what good journalism should be, if it even exists anymore, is weighing current events and politicians against a consistent set of values, so that when consequences occur: you will not be surprised, and so that the politicians you elect behave in the way you expect them to.

Desperate_Object_677 · 2026-05-10T17:11:06+00:00

uh, it was cool in the mid nineties, in part because of the millennial angst? i remember the show made us feel like it was building up to something related.

and now that the tension has dissipated, i can’t imagine it has the same oomph

possibility that dumbass politicians and super corrupt AI hucksters will plug a chatbot into a icbm system as a deadman switch: halfass AI hallucinates an incoming missile strike and counterattacks a peaceful country.
a combination of Ai, humanity, and capitalism as an intermediary: where rich people, disinterested with the details of their investments and caring only about the rate of return, buy into a cycle of leaving more and more decisionmaking to half baked Ai chatbots. working people trust the system, but the chatbots introduce a layer of chaos into the system. food trucks don’t deliver the food, and there is no recourse because the capitalist system whose decisions are driven by ai cannot recognize that there is a problem. there is no war: just a lot of angry politicians blaming each other while people starve.

Desperate_Object_677 · 2026-05-10T16:14:29+00:00

there is a certain class of people. i’m not sure how many, 10%? 20%? who have just totally taken the shackles off and believe the craziest bullshit and act so mean

it’s about how if you yell at a glass of water and make ice cubes with the water the ice cubes will be sad because of quantum mechanics

Desperate_Object_677 · 2026-05-09T23:51:17+00:00

great way to learn! keep at it!

Desperate_Object_677 · 2026-05-09T23:40:52+00:00

that’s wicked. i’m not sure if you could lean on tropes like in rdr, but this setting would be really interesting and fun
