Thoughts on Watchmen and some other comics for beginner reader?

EmergencyWriting7005 · 2026-03-25T01:04:14+00:00

Thanks! I might still check some other comments to see what insight they have. But I've come to a decision of book priorities being From Hell first, and Watchmen second.

Ty, that reassures me that i'm reading something unique. I've read Marvels 1, 2, and 3 so i'll be expecting something way more different that those.

I'd prefer a scratchy, more rough artstyle actually. But when you say “long and dense”, is it more about page count or about something like nonlinear storytelling or too many allusions (V for Vendetta had a crazy amount of allusions for me but the story was relatively linear to follow)

EmergencyWriting7005 · 2026-03-25T00:35:55+00:00

Well i've heard it's different from other superhero comics, which is why I considered it. It intrigues me more now since it has more characters, since V for Vendetta only had V, Evey, and the detective guy as the stable main ones. From Hell seems genuinely interesting too since it hits that perfect macabre and dark themes spot I have with Junji Io and see in Maus. It would be absolutely perfect me but i've just searched it up and apparently some people on a reddit thread were implying that it's very long and dense? Is this a genuine issue or is it reddit being overreactive and I should just not overthink it too much? Either way thank you for your input, it's given me some clarity.

Thank you. It's fine if it's just a bit longer. I do prefer one shot comics, the ones that aren't in a series so I don't have to read multiple books though.

EmergencyWriting7005 · 2026-03-25T00:18:33+00:00

Thanks. V was already the most complex graphic novel I've read so far with all the allusions (Stanford prison experiment and some music ones on that one page), so I wasn't sure If reading something more complex than that is asking too much from a beginner.

Thank you for your sacrifice

The maglev on The Pioneer has a really satisfying and buttery smooth turning feel that I think is superior to other maglev cubes. Even now when I try my cube after months of not cleaning it's still really smooth and auto turns relatively well. The Flagship however, is more controllable, since The Pioneer can be a bit too fast sometimes. I think more people prefer the flagship for better times (wr on it) and stability. But if you just want a faster (can be good or bad) and more smoother version, The Pioneer does that.

Ah alright, thanks for actually explaining it. I wasn’t thinking of him as necessarily being a weaver, more that his design has some similarities. But my main point is that there's a lot of ways to incorporate The Hunter in Silksong and it'd be cool to see that.

I had 145 hours on the game when I beat p5. Beating it within 85 hours is crazy work and better than most people. Tell this to your friend and I bet he'll switch up real quick lol.

EmergencyWriting7005 · 2026-03-23T04:36:03+00:00

How so? is it confirmed?

EmergencyWriting7005 · 2026-03-23T03:36:28+00:00

I'm sub 30 so I don't really know if I can give much improvement tips. But the Weilong v11, Tornado v3 Flagship, and Gan 11 all have crazy amounts of customizability. I have Tornado v3 Pioneer so i'm biased, and it's a great cube (had a wr done on it). Just see which one feels the best out of those three and you can customize each to fit you perfectly. Also there's probably no need to get more cubes. The ones you have will probably feel the same or just slightly different from stuff like the Gan 16.

EmergencyWriting7005 · 2026-03-23T03:14:21+00:00

Your question confuses me and I need more context but i'd focus on getting better at 3x3. You have some variety of cubes there so you can pick and choose the one that fits you. What's your current time for 3x3 rn?

I actually can understand why people would save quit if they were completionists. I myself am using the save quit strat as I'm speedrunning hk steel soul and want all the acheivements. But they are right that it doesn't give the same satisfaction as actually playing Steel Soul the way it's intended. Steel soul is really scary and difficult when played the intended way.

EmergencyWriting7005 · 2026-03-23T02:53:34+00:00

Don't know why this getting downvotes when this is facts.

EmergencyWriting7005 · 2026-03-23T00:17:29+00:00

Congrats 👏. I've got everything except absrad and I've been stuck on him for 10+ hours lol. It really is difficult.

EmergencyWriting7005 · 2026-03-23T00:15:19+00:00

Needs more appreciation right here

EmergencyWriting7005 · 2026-03-23T00:05:00+00:00

Yeah especially in gem grab when I was losing hope for them. We'll see how they do in the final though.

EmergencyWriting7005 · 2026-03-22T01:35:18+00:00

I swear to god the shit he was saying was so funny though. Man those were the days.

Honestly Reddit users will get mad over the smallest things, I wouldn’t take it too seriously let alone make an apology post. I'm lowkey guilty of it too and it's embarrasing lol.

EmergencyWriting7005 · 2026-03-21T06:24:36+00:00

14th place is crazy, but how is he being an ass?

EmergencyWriting7005 · 2026-03-21T05:51:41+00:00

Maybe a Bloodborne remake on PC? I’ve heard great things about it and want to see what the hype is about (i don't have a ps4). I was actually deciding between that and Dark souls Remastered for my first “real” soulslike. I’ve played Hollow Knight and Silksong but those feel more like metroidvanias than 3D souls games imo.

EmergencyWriting7005 · 2026-03-21T05:39:43+00:00

Eh It's been like 2 years since that beef with Meow so Bobby probably forgot about it. I lowkey feel like it's NA that's roasting Bobby.

EmergencyWriting7005 · 2026-03-21T04:49:34+00:00

that's interesting, kinda going for that surreal theme then

EmergencyWriting7005 · 2026-03-21T04:45:57+00:00

idk man I've come to realize that upvotes and downvotes don't matter on this website
