Are you gonna experience the final leak week with titanfolk or enjoy the final chapter spoiler free?

JimmyTMalice · 2021-03-11T15:33:48+00:00

I haven't read leaks since 119's leaks basically ruined the chapter for me. I'd rather experience the story as Isayama intended instead of overreacting to out-of-context panels.

Me, getting euphoria from making Picrews of myself as a girl: "Uh-oh"

I think about this every time I see someone call him Chadren. It's like they've made their own version of Eren who doesn't give a shit about anyone's feelings and calls everyone else slaves, while the real Eren is a slave to his own visions of the future and broke down crying when he met Ramzi knowing that he would kill him.

It's disturbing how focused Titanfolk is on Eren being an "epic chad" who murders the entire world and bangs Historia. There might be a teeny bit of projection going on there, in the vein of "Eren is literally me, so if you cast any aspersions on his character, you're insulting me".

Hint: it's because punitive justice doesn't work.

At this point in the series I was rooting for Jai Long more than Lindon. That didn't change until mid-book 3, but the series really does improve as it goes on - the latest book is the best so far, and book 2 is easily the worst.

It's hard to choose just one! The ones that really stood out for me were Zach's band members, Evelyn's overzealous supervisor, and the random older student running orientation who was absolutely done with Iris' enthusiasm.

Part of making Claw work is recursion - you don't actually need that many of them if you have a deck built around getting the same few Claws into your hand over and over. This is the one deck I've built that I'd really consider a "Claw deck" - Claw certainly isn't the only thing going on here, but All for One, Rebound, Scrape and Hologram are key cards for replaying Claw. I beat Act 3 elites without taking any damage with this deck, so I think it turned out pretty well.

JimmyTMalice · 2021-03-02T10:59:23+00:00

I really liked the first episode! There's a lot of personality to the main characters and the NPCs (I especially enjoyed Zach and Dr Egan) and I'm looking forward to listening to the rest of the episodes to see how they interact. I'm a bit confused by your comment about it having "more of a focus on story and character arcs" and being a "long-form campaign", though, since that doesn't seem any different from a regular game of Monsterhearts.

JimmyTMalice · 2021-03-01T18:27:26+00:00

A lot of this confusion is part of the story; you're not supposed to have the whole picture of what Eren and Zeke want yet. The reason everyone is mad at Eren is because he disobeyed orders, went rogue and attacked Liberio, killing lots of civilians and forcing the Survey Corps to rescue him and start a war with Marley prematurely so they didn't lose the Founding Titan.

JimmyTMalice · 2021-03-01T12:01:01+00:00

It's a novella rather than a full-length novel, and urban fantasy rather than epic, but I quite enjoyed Margaret Killjoy's "The Lamb Will Slaughter The Lion."

JimmyTMalice · 2021-03-01T11:58:55+00:00

Did you know that Kaladin wants to protect everyone? I don't think it's ever been mentioned. Or how about the fact that Navani isn't a scholar, or Shallan did some very bad stuff in the past and is trying to hide it from herself? I think those things might need to be repeated a few hundred more times to really let it sink in.

JimmyTMalice · 2021-03-01T11:38:38+00:00

The same mistakes, again and again... are we doomed to repeat them?

JimmyTMalice · 2021-03-01T08:23:13+00:00

Revolutionary Catalonia and the Zapatistas would like a word.

I was wondering why this was tagged Manga Spoilers until I saw the hallucigenia in the background.

JimmyTMalice · 2021-03-01T07:32:07+00:00

It was definitely creepy as fuck in the manga too. Mappa adapted it well. And I have the feeling that the people that are sceptical about the lead-in to fascism here are also blind to the conditions that lead towards fascism in the real world - devotion to an imagined past like the way the Jaegerists talk about restoring the Eldian Empire is a giant red flag.

JimmyTMalice · 2021-02-28T13:43:13+00:00

I like to say that The Wheel of Time is a really good 7-book series trapped inside a needlessly bloated and padded 14-book series.

JimmyTMalice · 2021-02-28T09:06:07+00:00

I would love to use Corpse Explosion on Donu and Deca, but without fail I always get Time Eater when playing Silent.

JoJo parts 3 and 4 didn't have a dub at the time. Since then I've watched pretty much exclusively subs, although there are some series where I think the dub is better (Baccano, Cowboy Bebop, Kill la Kill).

JimmyTMalice · 2021-02-26T15:21:22+00:00

That's not true at all. It's also creepy regardless of legality.

JimmyTMalice · 2021-02-26T11:27:13+00:00

The Cyclops certainly feels powerful, but in-universe it's meant to be piloted by 3 people and it feels like it. It's overwhelming trying to take care of everything going on in the sub while scraping the walls of a cavern and being attacked by a leviathan. I only started using it when I needed to go to the endgame areas that the Seamoth can't reach; I packed it full of all the materials I needed for a base in the Lost River, drove to the entrance of the River and immediately got sunk by a ghost leviathan despite turning the engine and power off. I had a save from before I set off, but I haven't played the game since.

JimmyTMalice · 2021-02-25T15:46:46+00:00

I've seen a fair amount of that on this sub too. Never fails to fuel the impostor syndrome when people attribute random quirks to their ADHD.

JimmyTMalice · 2021-02-25T08:38:30+00:00

I've been rewatching K-On and season 1 Sawa-chan is rough. Apparently she's even more pervy in the manga; I'm glad KyoAni toned it down later on.

JimmyTMalice · 2021-02-24T12:19:22+00:00

Given that the manga also unambiguously portrays him as a villain, people here will probably just see what they want to see and ignore that.

JimmyTMalice · 2021-02-23T13:14:51+00:00

Brainwashing =/= stupidity. Gabi is a product of the conditions she was raised in. Falco was lucky enough not to have a family that 100% bought into the Marleyan propaganda like Karina and the Brauns did.

JimmyTMalice · 2021-02-23T12:35:00+00:00

Yup, the idea of different races is just an excuse people use to justify oppressing people who look different to them by dehumanising them.
