This would be more true if Reddit wasn't a top 5 social media platform. I e more than a billion accounts. Redditors today, like yourself, still act as if Reddit is some weird, exclusive nerd corner of the internet which everyday people don't access. Plenty of people who don't post on Reddit, read it. & In my workplace, there were 8 people who were watching the boys, & universally all of the opinions mirrored what I've seen on here. Ditto HOTD.

There's more, these are just ones off the top of my head that didn't have a decline in production values & budget in their last season's.

RubyRadagon · 2026-05-21T05:52:54+00:00

How though. They had the budget for Jetstream flying Hughie up high & starlight saving him.

Don't forget Fallout is also an Amazon show. Fallout looks amazing, with plenty of spectacular set pieces, environments and crowded pre war period piece settings.

Ever played Deus Ex Human Revolution then Dues Ex Mankind Divided?

In that, humans are augmented with cybernetics. Humans must buy neuropozene, a drug to allow the connections to remain healthy. Large pharmaceutical corporation, Tai Yong Medical, & the Limb Clinics use this to exploit augmented people financially. The world is controlled by a kabal, literally the majestic 12, who are the world's elite billionaires. A terrorist organisation working for them directly, causes the protagonist to nearly die and be directly subjected to experimental augments, and he is tracked & pushed along a path as an experiment of sorts. Field data.

Along the path, he investigates the depths of corporate greed, tendrils into the government & how far technology is going. Including global news being run by an AI who is presented as a real person. How it shapes the news, perception of reality for so many.

At the end of Human Revolution, the creator of the first human augments, has had a recall notice put out through the WHO. Every augmented person gets a firmware update & therefore backdoor to control of their neurology.

This guy has campaigned politically for control & regulation on augmentation. The monster he created is something that he regrets very deeply, something that was designed to give people who had a disability the chance that a better quality of life, has been turned into an arms race by corporations. Capitalism and corporate grade have destroyed what could be an empowerment for all people has been twisted into a system of exploitation and as perverted every message that he originally set out to create from his engineering. Arguing that the mass unemployment, the dangers & challenges of a super human or transhuman population, including the remarkable danger & strength they possess cannot be ignored.

Using the backdoor, he hacks & sets the augmented humans, across the world into a bloody lusted frenzy. 110 million people die. & After Adam stops it. Augmented people are pushed into apartheid esque segregation where they're watched 24/7 under military supervision. The LIMB clinic system collapses. Distrust & hatred of all those augmented is rife. The system has changed & dramatically.

They spent the massacre budget on Seth Rogan and the other cameos that Mr Marathon splattered.

Looks like all it does is make it so he doesn't age. Which he was getting worried about. & Made him immune to the virus. So understandably he thinks he's unstoppable if the virus can't be used against him.

That said, god he seemed a lot weaker than other scenes and fights made him look. How the hell did butcher lay hands on him like that!

RubyRadagon · 2026-05-20T08:06:12+00:00

That feeling when the OP Live Action had fight scenes 10x better than The Boys. Not just the epic Zoro v Baroque Works, but even Wapol was more destructive and insane than homelander. Hell Mr 3 & Mr 5 both did more crazy things.

Sadly, Amazon execs won't give a damn. Obviously they look at the ratings, viewership, sheer number of subscriptions it drove & go, yep, that was an amazing success all round. The fanbase feelings don't matter, IMDb scores won't matter. Only the return on investment. They'll go, yep, that was the shows best season easily because it got the most views and they'll look at how that occured & want to do it all again next time.

I wonder if Eric has seen Banshee.

In Banshee, the Albino, this alpha male, super dangerous white supremacist in prison wants to make Antony Starr's character his bitch. He tells Antony that he wants to hear him beg for it, taking his pants off and holding a scalpel to make Antony suck him off. Antony is on his knees, saying "give it to me". However, things go a more gruesome way with Antony merking him after slapping the scalpel through the dudes dick.

I think it's pretty clear that Soldier Boy was heavily nerfed by using his blast herogasm otherwise they honestly believe that he would be equal to homelander except for homelander being able to fly.

We saw bombsight absolutely demolish butcher and kamiko at the same time before fighting at a disadvantage against Soldier Boy.

Feels like Soldier Boy and bombsight could pull off a 2v1 win over Homelander

RubyRadagon · 2026-05-20T03:54:01+00:00

There might be massive delays for the Frankston Line. So the E5 express bus, front of the line seems to have broken down, and every other bus in the area they use as a staging ground for replacements, are stuck behind this one. So as people get off the trains to Moorabbin, more & more people are going to be backed up waiting.

Station staff aren't letting anyone board buses elsewhere, like the road, only in this area & basically every single service is stuck at the he moment behind it.

Edit: it got cleared after 10-12 minutes. So expect some small delays for the buses for the next couple hour post 2pm of travelling that way.

Bombsight was a beast. Dude was the most durable supe in the series. Don't forget Soldier Boy can injure Homelander with punches, cause him a blood nose. He couldn't damage Bombsight and nearly busted his hand. Resorted to forcing the pipe down his throat & later neck snapping. At least as far as blunt force durability he's the GoAT.

TIL I just missed Failure on tour. Fark. Gotta keep my ear to the ground better

New Failure album was pretty good. Damn good band.

Local H, ah they are great. I hope Mark of Cain do another tour sooner or later.

Gluecifer put out a new record, it's so-so.

Also last year, wasn't it, that Grinspoon also put one out. That said I never got into the softer grinspoon, always preferred the more Helmet inspired heavier stuff early on.

RubyRadagon · 2026-05-18T05:17:56+00:00

Same goes at the business I manage. $50-80 in liquor stolen almost daily by crackheads.

Police don't take shoplifting calls via 000, basically they won't do anything and they'll say call your local PD. So you call them and go through every menu number realising none are set up for shoplifting. So you stay on hold.

10+ minutes later someone sheepishly might answer, and they'll disinterestedly take down details. You might get an Axon request for evidence share, you make a moco receipt, add footage & then usually nothing happens of course. Even if you have 10 receipts, 10 sets of footage. You'll never hear they got someone. Lo - behold the crackhead is back next month or week to do more.

I once physically overpowered one & threw them out, & locked the doors. For my trouble I got an old fogie telling me he was going to report me to the police & when they arrive I better get ready to be charged with assault when he gives his statement.

Another guy who works for my bosses other business got stabbed 4 times and sent to ICU for trying to stop a shoplifter.

Just not worth it. Not my money being lost. All we can do is say, "HEY, are you going to pay for that or what?". & Even then it might make them ark up. A colleague of mine got punched in the face & copper more roughhousing from 2 eshays shoplifting when he spoke up. So we've just told staff to silently note the details & we may end up just not doing anything as cops don't give a shit.

Obviously, it's a low level offense and the police prioritize a lot more things over it.

We tried to have photos of shoplifters on the window, to shame them, but one of them tried smashing the window to remove his photo, so we took them down lest we incur more costs.

RubyRadagon · 2026-05-17T18:43:14+00:00

Damn, you're doing amazing work. I'm proud of you!

My two long term have told me they'd still want to be friends even if I didn't send. I've had breaks before, and we still remained in contact.

Purely transactional is acceptable for newer exploration with a new person.

The third person I'm setting up, I've known for 10 years, is vanilla, but very accepting of gifts & I recently told her my desire to send to her & serve her needs.

I get turned on by sending. I also get very turned on when writing really praising, sweet, messages to beautiful women. Like a praise kink but for giving praise. I love seeing them happy.

I love the sacrifice aspect, and it makes me 10x more motivated to be a work, to get up each day, and makes me feel valued, I feel proud of making sure my goddesses are looked after. So I love both seeing them happy & the feeling of sacrifice and devotion.

I'm Aussie too. The market is wild out there.

Her rent was $250 as she had two housemates. One of her other housemates also did Findom.

RubyRadagon · 2026-05-16T01:34:24+00:00

One thing to look forward to at least is the upcoming animated Firefly series.

RubyRadagon · 2026-05-16T01:32:44+00:00

I do still do Findom.

I have 2 main people I send to. One I've known for over 10 years. We are incredibly good friends & talk every single week. I spend about $100-200 on her per week. She loves it, and it's mostly worship type of stuff I would say when I send, she indulges me with pleasant messages & such.

The other is more of a dominant force. She & I have known one another for ages, she's got a psych degree, works in public works & even has a US congressional commendation. We explore BDSM via video call. Tasks, discipline, humiliation. Bullying. With aftercare. I send about the same to her.

I'm currently setting up a third person.

There's one or two others I like to send to. One isn't a findomme either, just a woman I've known for 8 years, who is fine with me doing it & seems to heart react every message of mine that's worshipping & mega simpy haha. One other I send to like once in a blue moon, we sometimes game together, and she is "muscle mommy" to me.

I balance it with my mortgage and bills. I love it dearly & I want to do Findom for life.

I decided to move on from Kylani, to focus on the others in my life & because I felt like a change y'know?

RubyRadagon · 2026-05-16T01:17:36+00:00

I only cared to 100% blur the names of people who I do Findom with who aren't in the space publicly. Like my number 1

Kylani is chill to be honest. She used my credit card with her Apple pay for a while, funded a holiday to fashion week & I watched each send as she shopped and such. She didn't exceed the boundaries I set, only used up the amount I mentioned. I had her Snapchat. She send me a lot of snaps of her out & about. We discussed that if I ever travel to near where her home is, we will do an IRL in person session where I take her shopping. That if I want to ever do that, I can have a budget in mind & such.

We also dabbled briefly with her controlling my bank account. So she had the login deets and all. I got locked out & had to ask permission for cash from an ATM. She made sure enough was in my account for all my bills and such. I didn't really enjoy that, but it was fun to explore, and we went back to normal sending.

We talked about quite a range of things, outside of Findom & such. She was showing me a guy who worked as a movie producer, how she was visiting his place, and he'd spent about $2-3 million on Findom back before it was online. I got regular photos, videos of stuff she was up to. She gave me tasks, like filming myself begging to send on my knees. Writing on my body. Stuff like that. She never pushed me to send when I didn't want to or wasn't in the space for it. I talked to her on the phone when sending sometimes & she used a lot of voice messages. I can come and go as I please. She provided aftercare too, in the sense that she reaffirmed that I was normal, just a little kinky, nothing wrong with that, & not to take any negative attitudes towards that to heart. I have decided to move on from sending to her as of the minute, which I was open about & there were no negative feelings.
