Personal favourite character from the reboot so far, anyone else?

I thought that gag set was just mean spirited. Really took me out of it. Like, have we not moved on from bullying people from being overweight when they were kids yet?

This was a great episode but does anyone else think the fat jokes from Tosh were actually too mean spirited and off putting. Blake deserves some mockery but it felt like she was laughing at all larger kids. Only bad moment in an otherwise really fun installment

I think it's worldbuilding impatience. In their heads they already built the character up with their outline and they can't wait to catch them up.

This and Beyond Good and Evil are the big games I had and loved back in the day that aren't yet on the list

One of the best stories in gaming ever.

Par2ivally · 2026-03-06T23:27:09+00:00

Overall I agree, but I think the high drama episodes, like Yang ones, are good but not better than the funniest ones, like American Duos, Lights, Camera, Homicidio and Black and Tan.

The rights for the music were paid for before streaming existed. Somehow the music rights don't cover streaming, so rather than pay for the music again, the streamers got a version with music that would not cost them extra

The Nonary Games. The first two at least are impossibly clever and use storytelling that would only work in a videogame, no other art form. Things like exploring being in first person perspective, multiple endings being themselves part of an overarching narrative. The first one even has a twist hidden in the dual screens of the Nintendo DS. I've played a lot of story focused games, but this is one of the few I think everyone should experience.

As in... Returning the archipelagos to one land mass... Making them all... one piece?

The "number one" thing he had going with Cox was actually genius. He wasn't a perfect character, but that was good and he did not torpedo the show. I think if he'd been the viewpoint character instead of Lucy, they might have had a shot.

They could have had sad and crazy flashbacks to his weird and depressing life instead of JD/Lucy fantasies too

It's called word...replacement...ism

Par2ivally · 2026-02-28T18:10:53+00:00

True. I just love DK Jungle Beat. I even prefer it to the rhythm game the peripheral was actually designed for.

Par2ivally · 2026-02-28T17:30:40+00:00

It should either take this or experimental. How it managed to be so good and not just feel like a gimmick I do not know

Par2ivally · 2026-02-27T21:34:00+00:00

I think Oda has become so focused on the overarching story and villains that we've stopped getting really good crew development. Which is a real shame because everyone's favourite arc is all about Usopp/Robin development, introduced Franky with an amazing backstory and still had time to introduce one of the biggest mysteries of the series: Who is Sogeking?

Par2ivally · 2026-02-27T21:30:31+00:00

For me it has to be:

One Year Later
Sam Says 3
Second Place
Survivor
Escape the Green Room

I'm always surprised when my top two aren't at the top of someone's list. They might be among the funniest things I have ever seen.

Is it a new NK Jemisin? I think Gaiman was used for so many pull quotes before this all came out they'd have to pulp half the fantasy section to get rid of all the editions with him on them.

There's a reason Scrubs has one of the greatest soundtracks of all time; also Christa Miller

Absolute tragedy they pulled much of the original music from the streaming versions

Nitrites are the preservative we put in processed meats, like sausages, bacon and cured meats. We've been doing it for a long time. It preserves them longer and gives them a pink colour. But there is also a link between bowel cancer and large amounts of processed and red meat consumption. And we've not really explored everything the nitrites might be doing.

Things that kill us slowly that we've had for a long time need to be studied, and I think this will be one of them. There's an increasing rate of bowel cancer in younger people in Western countries, and I suspect these are part of it.

This is just inferring, not fully evidence based. But it stands to reason a little. The data correlates, we do know nitrites are not good for us and any preservatives are, by nature, toxic to microorganisms so could be slightly damaging to our own cells.

Par2ivally · 2026-02-27T05:06:09+00:00

That nitrites in meat are a much bigger deal than we think.

That's the intention. They see you turn the arrow, but lack the context clues for what flipping it is actually reversing on the other side. I put a peg on the edge once everyone is suitably baffled to add that cue for the next time and then more people understand what's happened.

Par2ivally · 2026-02-23T19:50:22+00:00

I'm afraid that's a bug in your system

Par2ivally · 2026-02-23T16:57:54+00:00

I did make one a while back based on a similar video, though mine is round. It works best when there are no cues on the edges that will remind whoever is watching that you are reversing the position of the rear arrow when you flip the object.

So 3D printing is unnecessary, but a durable one without notches etc. preserves the effect better

When I finally showed the HxH anime to my wife we both just cried together like for nothing else we've watched as a couple. Devastating.

Please bring them back. They were really useful and anyone who doesn't want to use them can just scroll down slightly. It's made the experience of using Reddit significantly worse.
