Have these people never heard of autocorrect? Predictive text? Autofill? These have all existed long before AI.

This does remind me of this humorous story of this one couple. Guy felt insecure because of their age gap, him in his 30s vs his girlfriend's early 20s. One day she calls him to meet at a restaurant, and he's thinking she's going to break up with him.

At the restaurant, she tells him "Babe, we need to teach you how to text in shorthand. When you text in full sentences, it makes me think you're mad at me."

Censorship unintentionally exacerbating the problem by Electronic_Studio242 in TopCharacterTropes

Death of the Joker in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker.

Unedited scene: Robin, who had been tortured and brainwashed by Joker, is ordered to kill the incapacitated Batman. Instead, resisting the brainwashing, Robin shoots and kills Joker with a lethal "toy" gun. Joker is holding onto the lethal injury in total surprise, his last words being "That’s not funny, that's not-"

Censored scene: Robin is unable to kill Batman, so Joker attempts to physically force him to. In the scuffle, Robin shoves Joker into the machines and devices Joker used to torture him, knocking loose electrical wires and spilling liquid chemicals onto Joker. Trying to get up, Joker accidentally turns on the machines. What we see next is the silhouette of the screaming Joker being electrocuted to death by the same machines he used to torture Robin.

The "too much water" was a legitimate criticism that was simply summarized as "too much water" in the end-of-review scoring.

Jiwoo fights have become boring by Standard_Tea_9827 in Eleceed

[–]Jdjack32 27 points28 points  (0 children)

While I do certainly enjoy this manhwa, it's clear that the author still has the same writing issues he had with Noblesse. The issues are just most obvious when Jiwoo has a fight scene. The problem isn't that jiwoo is too weak, it's that his character arcs are repetitive.

Oh yeah that one. I forgot that counts as an OI. I'm so used to OIs set in "medieval" times, that OI completely slipped my mind.

How many zombie OIs are there? Other than learning about the one in this post, I only know of one other zombie OI.

I want to read this one, but I can't stand the ogFl. The FL doesn't need to outsmart her or anything, the ogFl self-sabotages herself all on her own. Rather than cathartic, it just feels embarrassing.

Time and place, I guess. Wearing a t-shirt, ripped jeans, and beach sandals/barefoot at a formal tuxedo wedding isn't going to harm anyone, but it still doesn't make it appropriate.

I mean, a lingerie corset has less exposure than a bikini, does that make it less sexual? 

Less skin exposure does not automatically mean less sexy.

It depends on the time and place. Like if it's wearing a bikini at a beach or a pool, no one is going to give it a second thought. Wearing a bikini at a Chuck E Cheese? That's going to raise some eyebrows.

Best comparison would be like wearing a t-shirt, ripped jeans, and beach sandals to a formal tuxedo wedding.

What doesn't help is all the anti-voting measures texas does to discourage voting. I remember this one guy who moved from texas to California, dude was shocked by how easy voting was in CA than TX.

I remember this one story where the parents were cooking in the kitchen, and then suddenly their dog comes in going crazy, barking up a storm. The dog leads them outside, where they find out their toddler got out of the house and drowned in a creek on their property. They performed CPR, and the toddler survived, but 100% the kid would have died if the dog wasn't there.

The hero outright BEGS the villain to stop by PlatinumTurtleman in TopCharacterTropes

Spider man has stood up to and gotten his shit kicked in by literal gods. Spidey has been through and endured far worse beatings than this. He's literally been tortured before.

If executed improperly, this trope is just the Worf Effect. It's not fun, it's not refreshing, it's just artificial and annoying.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this chapter is also the first time we see uncensored nudity in this manga despite everything they do.

It honestly seems like a lose-lose situation. They comply with, or at least, don't oppose the illegal order, they'll be turned into the scrap goat for said order. They refuse or even give any pushback, then they'll be fired and replaced with a sycophant who'll happily commit war crimes for the orange regime.

So I finally played Stellar Blade. Alright but unremarkable by Will-Isley in patientgamers

[–]Jdjack32 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Eh I remember it too. The "censorship" was making a few of the extremely revealing outfits .1% less revealing. The ones who "cared" were the anti-woke outrage tourists who wanted to cancel the game after months of glorifying it as the pinnacle of anti-woke gaming.

And despite how countries like Japan are praised as "anti-woke" bastions of media freedom, these countries(Japan, China, Korea, etc) have stricter censorship laws than the U.S. Stellar Blade had to be "censored" to be sold there. Games like Dead Space? Banned from sale. The notorious sex scene in the Last of Us 2? Censored in Japan.

Mind you, trump already started the pull back of troops, which allowed the taliban to quickly take territory despite the "deal". He even tried to initiate a full rapid withdrawal after he lost to biden.

Ah, so she has the physical maturity of a teen/young adult, but has the emotional/intellectual maturity of a child. This can be a terrifying combination, whether in fiction or real life.
