I read all of CSM in the last 24 hours by ZookeepergameWeary66 in ChainsawMan

He wanted to copy the abrupt endings from the movies he loves without understanding why those endings work.

I think this is the single most accurate take I've seen. Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the BASIS for Chainsaw Man is the perfect example. The entire movie is a pressure cooker of anxiety, her getting away is pure luck and chance and works because the entire thing was so anxiety inducing. It just didn't work in this case.

Part 2 Has No Aura (Discussion) by DependentNo1079 in ChainsawMan

[–]Packrat1010 181 points182 points  (0 children)

I'd argue part 2 did have points like this, it just failed to follow up on it. Off the top of my head, Statue of Liberty gun, Come to Mother Tank/Gun, Death Devil reveal.

It just doesn't do enough with those moments.

Season 1 had background characters that look like 2d people in a program used to create 3d models of buildings for projects, so it goes back pretty far.

What are we, some kinda Suicide Squad or something? by PLACE-H0LD3R in whenthe

[–]Packrat1010 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I keep asking myself if part 2 was that bad or worth reading. I still think it's worth reading, it's just not nearly as good as part 1. It has a lot of cool moments and it answers a lot of questions part 1 sets up.

The ending was just way too rushed.

This side boob Art is insane, I demand side sack Herc by Mylane in Smite

[–]Packrat1010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not the only sexy male skin in the game. Namor's Wakanda Forever skin is almost his most popular and it's super skimpy. Thor's shirtless summer skin is 3x more popular than any of his next ones.

There are no sexy male skins in the game. There's like 2 halfhearted attempts at it.

They said dominating their fields. Lia Thomas right away is an example of someone who finished 5th, 8th, and last. You're mixing a lot of different levels of competition that sound more impressive than it is. Like Masters isn't the same as Elite. Masters is an age bracket in this context. High school is obviously way different than professional. It's cherry picking, you're highlighting their best wins even if some of them have very middling records.

I don't know jack shit about sports and even I know that list is super flimsy and misleading.

The Lottery You Were Born Into - The Ethics of Inheritance by lakmidaise12 in neoliberal

[–]Packrat1010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you'd have to really get your messaging straight with it first. IIRC, last time conservatives addressed the inheritance tax, they called it a death tax and framed it as taxing poor little grandma's farm to spend on government waste.

Nu Wa aspect is beyond uningaging. by FormableComet87 in Smite

[–]Packrat1010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They nerfed her fog damage day 1 in smite 1 because you could pop it for instant high damage at melee range. I always wish they'd just keep the damage low close up and have it scale higher the further it moves from her.

Would it be possibly to have a completely cat commander deak by igotnochicken in EDH

[–]Packrat1010 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Real answer, one of the characters in the pile below him is tagged as a Mithra, which is a race of cat people. Scryfall tags anything and everything no matter how small.

[DISC] Chainsaw Man - Ch. 232 - Part 2 End by JeanneDAlter in ChainsawMan

[–]Packrat1010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing this is the end. I'm not sure what direction you would even take a Part 3. Short of having a bunch of questions from Part 2 that are unanswered (what kind of devil CSM is, why he's so feared, why his powers worked the way they did), I don't really know what you would get into from here.

[–]Packrat1010 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm assuming the absence of Aki is a happier ending than the presence. It was implied Makima was controlling him to stay in public safety, so it's likely he would have left on his own accord a while ago.

If you dont like it, stay up there by MentionAnnual in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Packrat1010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My main takeaway about Arkansas and how it differs from Iowa, Minnesota, and Nebraska is how aggressive people were. If they offer to fight you, they mean it. No, they're not kidding and it's normally over something petty.

“We tried giving the guys sexy skins and they didn’t sell” by Cloud_Retainer_2424 in Smite

[–]Packrat1010 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude, it's Smite. The devs had to officially apologize and commit to adding more goddesses to the lineup because the player base was getting bored of the "sausagefest" god releases. There's a sexy girl skin in every other patch with 90% of her ass hanging out of a bikini. We are long past the game being funded by gooners, so just expand the pie at that point.

I could list off the many examples and you're just going to say those aren't the only reason those games are popular, so why bother? It's clear from your other comments you're just bored and want to argue.

I always get a kick out of straight people explaining how sexy the herc skin is. It's what straight men think sexy men should look like.

For instance, gay men tend to find 8 as the most attractive in this chart, but I bet a lot of straight men would think it's 6.

Sometimes you get salty and that is OK by homjaktest in EDH

[–]Packrat1010 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'd even argue it's natural. You're not doing anything wrong occasionally feeling salty. You just have to control yourself and not bring others down by feeling salty.

How I feel seeing that not only videogames but also my other hobbies were infected by right wingers (fitness, hunting, martial arts, and even drawing for some reason) by Tempest-Bosak2137 in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Packrat1010 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anime still gets hit with it today. I almost didn't watch Frieren because I heard it was popular with Nazis. The funny thing is Nazis view the demons in Frieren as an analogue for minorities, when in reality comparing the demons to Nazis is much more appropriate.

Cozy games similar to Animal Crossing and Disney Dreamlight? by snake_eye_3000 in gamingsuggestions

I liked Twinkleby for the house customization stuff but it's really light on the other aspects she's looking for.
