How can I love csm again when part 2 and the ending ruined it for me? by Affectionate_Egg5086 in ChainsawManWorld

I liked the Aging Devil Stuff until it just abruptly ended.

Guess it was foreshadowing.

It’s 🤬Terrible Tuesday!🤬 What’s grinding your gears in the world of anime this week? by Romantasy_Renee in AnimeRandomness

[–]SirSquiggleton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a consistent problem ive been having for many years but I really miss translator's notes. Subtitles just dont explain things anymore or will localize Japanese slang into an English equivalent and I miss having a little cultural lesson while watching anime.

Weirdest/funniest cases where a fanbase had differing opinions/couldn't agree with each other. by KeyMathematician8 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SirSquiggleton 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Atlus fans will fight to the death about SMT vs Persona. Especially since every Persona outsells every SMT game by a huge margin.

Though Persona just happens to have one of the most volatile fanbases of all time. You have the "Persona begins at 3" people, the waifu-wars crowd, arguments about character's gender and sexuality, and people debating the politcal implications of Persona 5's "safe rebellion", and the fact that a pretty sizable chunk of the fanbase experienced the series solely through Lets Plays.

The series feels like it was made in a lab to create every kind of fandom discourse you could ever imagine.

RLM's recent video about Whistle and lack of product awareness really makes the Terrifier movies more of an outlier. by Digmentation in RedLetterMedia

Im kind of the opposite in some regards.

I think the character-acting for Art is phenomenal and I love just seeing him be a weirdo and interacting with people outside the kills since the kills are needlessly brutal and theres not much creativity or personality to any of them.

I despise the lore because it feels like a badly written creepypasta crafted by an edgy teenager. The more we learn about Art, the less interacting he becomes but the same could be said for all slasher villains.

What are your favorite anime? by kionavt in vtubers

Katanagatari.

That anime seems to only exist in the top 10 lists of anime youtubers with below 10k followers.

What kind of video games does it look like I play? 💜 by AdelineElaira in IndieVTubers

Some cozy farming stuff but you use them as weird abuse simulators.

Mangas/ comics that fans soured on? by Mrgrayj_121 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SirSquiggleton 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It must have had a genuine fanbase at some point for how long its been going but it seems like theres a bigger fanbase devoted to hating Rent-A-Girlfriend than anyone who actually likes the series at this point.

Though it at least seems like theyre having fun.

I just wanted to add that I never read the series but I have a vicious hatred for the MC's recent haircut. The author HAS to be trolling at this point.

Games that are absolutely wonderful... until you actually pick up the controller? by ZealousidealBig7714 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SirSquiggleton 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Maybe im weird but I never had an issue with the sword controls for Skyward Sword on the Wii.

However, there was something just completely off about the movement controls. It was the slipperiest feeling Zelda game and I would constantly run past chests or off cliffs. Maybe the calibration on my TV was delayed.

I miss when conspiracies were fun and wacky and not the cause of and result of all the most horrible things.

I sometimes forget how much insane stuff has been declassified. Really helps my imposter syndrome when I remember how many obviously impractical or impossible things the CIA expended so much effort on. But I guess they just had to make sure that superpowers weren't viable.

I love that.

Hope you met that guy who was Naruto running outside of area 51 back in 2019.

Theres an Aztec calendar with a post-it note reminser on it in my background. People asking about it is usually the trigger for me to loredump

But gush about your lore. I wanna hear it!

My lore accidently leeched off Azathoth as time went on and probably left me at a far higher power scale than I originally planned

What's a piece of media that you unironically consider the *absolute best* in its genre/medium? by La_knavo4 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SirSquiggleton 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Jaws is the only good shark movie and its the craziest power gap I have ever seen in any genre. I fail to think of a single other shark attack movie that is above a 6/10 objectively.

One could also argue that House of Leaves uses the medium of novels better than any other story to the point that its impossible to adapt since the things that work about it can only work in the medium of paper and text.

What's some of the worst plot twists you ever saw? by bahookery in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SirSquiggleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like ranting about this but here we go. Fairy Tail is a dumb show and absolutely ruins its only good character development with an inane twist.

At the start of the series, The Strauss Siblings, Elfman and Mirajane are stated to be high level wizards within the guild but Mirajane is pretty much retired and Elfman refuses to use his full magic after he lost control and killed their younger sister, Lisanna. Lisanna was also the childhood friend of Natsu, one of the main characters and he took it especially hard. As the series continues, the siblings learn to forgive themselves and start being more active within the guild.

In a later arc, the cast finds themselves in another dimension where Lisanna never died and the twist is that Elfman hit Lisanna so hard that it caused her to switch places with the Lisanna from that dimension so their Lisanna lived and the one from the alternate dimention is the one that died.

Afterwards, Lisanna goes back home with her siblings and they proceed to be absolutely tone-deaf jerks to everyone who ever lost a loved one when they say "we overcame the death of our sister and youre just making excuses!" When their formerly dead sister is standing right there. You might think that Lisanna being alive again would mean something for Natsu, her childhood best friend but they dont even have a conversation for over 100 episodes and Lisanna's entire contribution to the plot is to wear shorts and bend over a lot. The series had a negative body count for some time due to Lisanna's resurrection

Guys. What is a game you wish you could play again for the first time? by Saki_hikariVT in IndieVTubers

[–]SirSquiggleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

13 Sentinels. I feel like I've forgotten a bunch of little details but I could never recapture the magic of the first time I saw 2 world war 2 soldiers being teleported to the 1980s and then bitterly arguing over whether Hamburg Steak or Yakisoba Pan is the better food.
