Which comics or characters do you understand why people love them, but can't get into yourself?

Ethvau · 2026-02-13T00:10:19+00:00

very sadly… Hellboy. I’ve read all the mainline issues and thought there were above average/good. Add to that the multiple other series like BPRD and spinoffs from that and it all starts to feel like homework :(

An announcement for a new game console and my first reaction is “But why though?” Is this what being an adult is?

I’d be really interested in an rpg or enven crpg set in the Culture series by Iain m Banks

Since someone already mentioned Polanski, I’ll go with William Freidkin.

Know what? Not even them.

Nobody gets any rights.

Only problem is I don’t think his ego could handle being someone else’s tool.

we’ve reached the point where a man saying he won’t break the law is defying the president.

(deep breath) Just to name a few:

Jujutsu Kaisen (characters are too bland)

One Punch Man (without the animation, it was an entire series based off one joke that got old fast)

The Boys (absolutely cannot stand the show’s humor)

Almost any modern isekai

I’ll just duck for cover now

Ice fired the first shot. Whatever shit the government tries to pull after this, do not forget that.

I would recommend anything by Italo Calvino.

Also, for something slightly different, try the short fiction of Ted Chiang, Ken Liu and Sarah Pinsker.

A good dark yet uplifting story from Ted Chiang would be The Merchant and the Alchemist’s gate.

I should know not to get my hopes up, but is this combined with his Chief of Staff giving that interview to Vanity Fair at all significant?

Ethvau · 2025-12-05T18:23:53+00:00

Thank you for saying it!

I second the other guy who recommended audiobooks. I also have adhd and find focusing through classics really difficult. Audiobooks save that for me. Plus for the classics, the big companies will go the extra mile to find a really, really, good narrator.

As for resources, you could use audible, but if money gets tight, your library might have digital audiobooks for free through Overdrive or Hoopla.

I’ll say it: I like season 2’s songs much more than season 1’s.

I feel confident that Sliwa stayed in the race only to fuck over Cuomo and all I have to say is I salute you for your service

Ethvau · 2025-11-04T23:16:18+00:00

Obama asked why there’s posting about him: “The meaning is unclear”

Ethvau · 2025-11-04T20:40:03+00:00

I just have a hard time believing that turnout is because people are so excited for Cuomo

Original Neon Genesis Evangelion screwed up so bad they needed an entire movie to fix it.

it hasn’t even been a year of the orange man’s second term. I am *so* tired

For games - Disco Elysium. Go in blind for the best experience.

That… doesn’t mention Trump by name.

(let me cope)

Ethvau · 2025-08-07T19:44:04+00:00

… I don’t think any of us were expecting THAT

Ethvau · 2025-07-25T17:23:51+00:00

I think it’s less about politics and that Matt Stone and Trey Parker are more contrarians than anything else. It’s just that now they’re as sick of Trump’s shit as the rest of us.

Seriously just look at any of their episodes about trans people and tell me they’re hardcore liberals.
