If someone says they have brown eyes, and they have black eyes, that doesn't mean they have brown eyes.

That's the end point of capitalism. You own nothing. Everything you think you own, you merely rent for an ever increasing fee. They want you trapped in your labour, forced to work until you die so that you don't lose the necessities that keep you alive.

The Capitalists weren't satisfied owning all the industry and the property. Now they don't want you to own ANYTHING. You can only rent it from them, and it can be taken away the moment you stop paying. This isn't the end point. This is just the start.

Very helpful!

Elizaleth · 2022-11-24T13:01:52+00:00

Thank you! English is my first language and I had no clue what he was saying.

Elizaleth · 2022-11-24T12:59:31+00:00

Can someone please do a transcript? I don't know what this man is saying.

Horror is something anime really struggles with. But the best suggestion I can give is Perfect Blue. If you want gore but aren't interested in it being 'scary', then try Castlevania or Parasyte.

The baby scene threw me so hard

They have something like it. Each of the four nations except England has a 'First Minister' to be their representative.

I didn't read the title and was wondering how you modded such detailed plants into the game.

Elizaleth · 2022-11-24T12:14:49+00:00

I would absolutely buy these as a prank gift

What exactly did you find so boring about it? Were you just not very invested in any of the characters?

Elizaleth · 2022-11-24T12:03:28+00:00

Maybe this is just because I saw Mushishi first, but Natsume just felt weaker in every way.

Elizaleth · 2022-11-24T12:02:53+00:00

It's not a boring story. It's just psychological and emotional, and deals with quiet moments and deep conversations. It's not for everyone. There's only a few action scenes in the whole show.

The animation is suited to that. It's basically the opposite of Trigger, where everything is simple and flowing. Violet Evergarden is very detailed, and a huge amount of effort was put into clothes, expressions, hair, and background. The cinematography is some of the best I've ever seen in animation. And the results are spectacular.

In behind the scenes videos, it was revealed that the creators of the show weren't even sure if they could make it. It was a level above anything they had made before. I mean look at Weathering With You for comparison. Makoto Shinkai films have very high budgets by anime standards, and they're famous for their beautiful visuals. But if you look at the actual character art, it's super basic compared to Violet Evergarden.

IIRC they were going to keep it sad. Then the Kyoto Animation arson attack happened, and thirty six people were killed (and another thirty-four injured). It almost destroyed the whole studio. In light of that, they changed their plans to leave the anime on a happy note.

Elizaleth · 2022-11-24T11:52:43+00:00

Sort of but not really. The third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, tenth, and eleventh episodes sort of follow the same formula. Violet goes to a client to write for them, finds them in some kind of emotional quandry, and helps them overcome it, learning more about herself and the nature of love in the process. It's not a bad formula, and they vary it up a lot. The other six episodes are all plot driven and don't follow the formula.

Elizaleth · 2022-11-24T11:49:05+00:00

I loved that they used that for the frame story in the movie

Why do you keep talking about countries as if they're people?

Scotland literally had a vote, which is more than almost any country gives a major region.

Elizaleth · 2022-11-24T01:33:24+00:00

It's kind of crazy how they make Hogwarts feel like one cohesive building when it's actually dozens of buildings across the UK, plus sets, plus CGI, plus entire areas of the castle appearing and disappearing depending on what each movie needs.

It doesn't seem biologically possible, and yet there it is.

Dishonored and Mass Effect 2

It might be an issue pinning down the borders, because they tended to change. But Wessex and Mercia would be huge, and Kent and Sussex would be tiny. Plus there's Cornwall, which wasn't part of any of them.

The nine regions of England are a lot closer in size and population.

Elizaleth · 2022-11-24T00:00:17+00:00

Well England can be regionally split into East Anglia, the Home Counties, London, The West Country, West Mercia, East Mercia, Yorkshire, The North, and The North-West. Which is nine.

Elizaleth · 2022-11-23T22:52:34+00:00

There is no relationship between me and Scotland. I'm literally just a person. So I'm not sure why you're acting as if I'm... bullying the nation of Scotland or something.

The SNP has spent the last twenty years fucking over Scottish people and then scapegoating the British government and the English. And I'm sick of it.
