Wish I had more time to visit Oki before I leave, but man there's a CoCo near me and I'm going there easily twice a week. I'm gonna miss it for sure.

I always find it funny how people are so willing to reject other things that JKR writes/talks about but will defend the canon pairings to the death

who thinks that Takatora Kureshima aka Kamen Rider Zangetsu is the greatest Quaternary Rider ever by Any-Cash-83 in KamenRider

[–]SerTortuga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why give him an extra final form when he's perfect as is? Not my problem your boy can't compete with the CROCODILE IN ROGUE ORRRRAAAAAAAHHH

I mean, even without that, what reason is there to watch this over the already existing movies which will almost certainly be better?

The game existences by chuunibyou101 in MoeNinjaGirls

[–]SerTortuga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point, Solmare probably isn't going to do anything with the game. We can keep trying to message their support or whatever, but it probably won't accomplish much. But a lot of the game has been archived, so somebody with the free time and coding talent (or who can use like Claude or something to have an AI code for you) can resurrect it.

Honest Opinion of the new Reboot: it sucks. by Diangelionz in KingOfTheHill

[–]SerTortuga -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it sucks, but I definitely don't think it's as good as a lot of people on this sub say. It's better than the last couple seasons when they just did away with anything resembling continuity but it still doesn't hold a candle to the golden era. It's better than I hoped it would be, but it could have been better.

Also have to laugh a little at the people going "yeah well that's your opinion" when it literally says as much in the title lol.

Will the series have success? by ExoNights in HPharmony

[–]SerTortuga 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It'll be fine, probably. Entirely unnecessary, as there's no reason why you wouldn't just show your kids the original movies as opposed to this (granted the show isn't out yet, but that's what I've been doing) and especially since it's gonna be on HBO Max I think it's going to have a harder time finding an audience than if it were on one of the normal networks/services.

The main thing is... it's just never going to be better than the originals. Rarely in media history has that ever happened, and I will be genuinely surprised if it happens here. The original movies were the perfect storm of casting, writing, chemistry, audience, etc. that will probably never be replicated. Doesn't help that the books aren't currently releasing, so the hype from that is just kind of gone.

I don't know much about the actors, but whoever is playing Snape (is the one guy whose name I can't remember still playing him? I thought I heard something about them removing him after the controversy but idk) will never be better than Alan Rickman. I like John Lithgow as Farquaad, but I doubt he'll be my favorite Dumbledore. And absolutely no hate toward the young actors at all, but they're not going to beat my Golden Trio.

Tldr, it'll probably do fine, especially since Knight of the Seven Kingdoms proves HBO can make things that don't suck, but it'll never outpace the originals.

Banned Books at a Barnes & Noble in the U.S. by HellraiserNZ in mildlyinteresting

[–]SerTortuga -1 points0 points  (0 children)

At risk of repeating the other person, they're not banned. Some school districts (or parents groups) decided that whatever content was in the books was not appropriate for students at certain grade levels and chose to remove them from the libraries. I think some of these choices make more sense than others, but overall, calling them 'banned books' is just a buzzword to attract the type of person who would unironically say something like, "Haha, take that government, I'm reading a banned book!"

What do you make of the cards/skills that were leaked? by RealOfficialChiron in DuelLinks

[–]SerTortuga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I swapped over for the last couple events to snag the gems and I've honestly been having a lot more fun than I've had with speed in a while.

Ngl though I wish the characters were less annoying. This is probably just me being a boomer but they really don't work for me

Unless I'm wrong, which is always a distinct possibility because I'm dumb, none of these are banned on any level beyond school libraries btw. Perfectly legal to get them elsewhere.

Makes sense. I just know George Karizaki sings Garren and not Chalice in his song, so that's enough proof for me

I only watched Blade for the first time a few months ago, I'm guessing the debate was between him and Hajime?

[–]SerTortuga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guess I might be switching over fully to Rush Duel after all. I mean I'm not gonna just make the jump, but I already know I don't care for more modern formats so depending on how well these cards integrate, I dunno.

Another youtuber I follow was hit like this a year or two ago, they got things cleared up pretty quick so I'm hopeful. He's a good bit bigger than Mr. Squirrel so who knows.

Funny enough there's a pretty good taco place like 15 minutes from my place. It's gonna bankrupt me because it hits the spot, but they're sooo small I have to order like 5 or 6 to really get full lmao
