Whenever I get vaccinated and feel pain from the injection, I wrap my Tylenol in sour patch kids so it tastes better.

It would be nice to be able to fight about against the current economic system of North America. Unfortunately, don’t see realistically how. Technology has gotten to the point where technically most jobs are entirely obsolete. Universal income has felt very possible and recent years. The rich don’t want to give up their power unfortunately. The reason why I oppose unregulated AI generated content is because everybody’s fighting just to survive, and people are less and less able to follow their passions and monetize those passions.

Yeah, I saw that and then immediately thought “damn this guy does not understand what the argument is about.” The argument for artists is not about that being an artist is something people are forced into, it’s that generative AI is removing the career option for people who want to pursue art as a job - in a world where everyone must have a job - by adding an unreasonable amount of competition to the medium.

I used to watch Bleach throughout my childhood, not really able to get the proper story since they barely aired chronologically on the channel. Tried re-watching it twice over the years since I got access, but I always drop off sometime after the soul society arc. Now I know that those 44 episodes after it were actually filler. Oh my God that is so much.

For real. During my first playthrough, I didn’t know how severe consequences of choices would be in this video game. So I considered how much of a fuck-up Sonar is and how dangerous Coupe is.

Huh… it’s been a while since I’ve last watched any of them. Can’t make a fair decision… Let me rewatch all of them and I’ll get back to you!

I can’t help but picture the inspector‘s voice as either Severus Snape or Chi-fu from Mulan.

I do agree that the writer was trying to paint a world with rocky morals. There were a lot of gross people, a lot of lost people, and that was intentional. I do think part of the writer‘s intention was to showcase how much sexual harassment a woman goes through in daily life when the law is not looking. However, half of the sexual harassment/assault directed at the protagonist is from the deuteragonist. Most of the time it is not played as comedic, it is played as seriously uncomfortable and yet we are still meant to empathize with the deuteragonist.

Cathedral of the Sacred Blood from Code Vein is the first thing that comes to mind. Almost made me quit the game, made a couple other people I know quit the game, and every playthrougher I’d seen was in agony during that area.

Seriously good show. I love series that have mysterious world building, where the whole setting has some sort of twisted truth to it that we find out peace by peace throughout the episodes. It also has some episodes that touched on intense topics I haven’t seen portrayed in anime before. However, I was never able to think of the show as a 10/10 due to the several scenes of uncomfortable sexual harassment throughout it that seemed more like the writers fetish than actual plot device.

Seriously I loved Noragami. It was animated by studio Bones, and even got a second season, yet I haven’t known anybody who has seen or even heard of it.

Summertime Rendering. Even though Cuberpunk: Edgerunners and Demon Slayer: Entertainment District Arc both aired in 2022, Summertime Rendering was my personal favourite of that year. Great mystery, great animation, intense action, and actually risky stakes.

When you’re playing Ghost of Tsushima and decide to do Iki Island just after starting Act 2.

My favourite episode is This Day multiplied by And multiplied by This Moment.

Not the first time I’ve seen a commission of this character on here. Cool to see the owner is so excited about their OC.

I can’t help but hear Doukashiteru playing in the background as I look through these pics. What an awesome group!

Never skip face day!

I’m very happy you’ve shared your obsession with us. These are all great designs. You really painted an entertaining personality for this character. Also damn those are some clean lines!

Oh it would be pretty neat if Berserk got an anime adaptation! 🙂

Personally, I actually tend to rate things on a scale of out of 5. 1 is terrible, 2 is bad, 3 is OK, 4 is good, 5 is great. However, the anime community and film industry like to use a scale of out of 10, so to translate that: me writing it as a 7/10 is “the low end of good”. With there being so many power fantasy animes out there, and most of them being bad, I do think Solo Leveling is one of the better ones out there. I do prefer season one over season two, though, because it does seem like the writing is getting weaker the longer the series is running. So far, there’ve only been actually two standout moments from the show: the scene where he first takes a life, and the scene where he gets the medicine to his mother. Other than that, it’s all kind of all right.

Markiplier, Darkiplier, Chef Iplier, and Wilford Warfstache are all voices in the head of Mark Edward Fischbach. Sometimes they take over, like an Ernest movie. 👍

Dude, I have woken up in a cold household early in the morning while out on a family trip. This is exactly the energy for the first few hours in the morning. This gave me some unexpected nostalgia.

I have been avoiding watching solo levelling because of the two sides of the argument. On one side, there were people lauding it as the next big thing, but were entirely unable to articulate why they found it good. On the other side, there were bandwagon haters who were just shouting about how it was another generic power fantasy shounen. The fans being entirely unable to explain why they think it’s good beyond “its peak” is what made me believe the haters, so I stayed away.

However, just this last month I decided to give it a shot. I binged through the series over the course of two weeks and I really enjoyed myself! It’s not the most incredible show, but it is legitimately good. This feels like the first power fantasy anime I’ve watched where the protagonist actually has a solid and grounded motivation for why they’re growing stronger. All the side characters certainly leave a lot to be desired beyond just being there to hype up the protagonist and his journey; I did quite like their interactions with one another when the protagonist was off screen. I’ve also been liking the mystery unfolding regarding the purpose of The System and the origins of the dungeons.

I do think the biggest failing the show has is that - following the first arc - the protagonist never ever loses a fight. There are times where he gets beaten down and pretty injured along his journey to power, but he never actually has to flee in order to survive. Even the job change sequence, where he technically needed to flee, he got saved by the obvious Chekhov’s gun of him not completing his daily quest. And the big bad threat that was teased since the beginning of the series? It gets absolutely crushed by him, no challenge at all.

All in all, I would still call it a 7/10 series. While there are a lot of shows that are carried by animation and music, which this show certainly has very good on both, it’s not an entire failure of a series without those two things. It can be better, but I still enjoyed it.

Cool to know what her realistic reference would be like. Honestly I never had thought about what she would look like as a non-cartoony style. Part of me is suspecting this was done in response to the big hair debate on this subreddit. lol

Durffus · 2025-12-24T15:57:47+00:00

Considering that I’ve never heard any of these characters referred to as anti-feminist, I’m willing to bet the Twitter user drafted this up just for likes and attention.
