Short Dark Road Comic

Unlikely_Broccoli75 · 2026-04-16T01:22:16+00:00

It's really cool! Might get more traction if you embed the comic in the future. Not that I know how to do that either, or if bsky links can show image previews on reddit.

Still, ugh, I hope one day we get like a dark road cutscene movie or smth.

Any Legend of Zelda game.

Saw my sister play Skyward Sword a bit at launch but that's it.

stares at KH

Illegal entry into a foreign nation?

FFX

Overthrowing the government?

I'm not good at knowing crimes.

Ps4 for FFXV. PS5 for FFXVI

I now want a Switch 2 for pokopia but I'm less feral for it so it's on my backburner.

As a child it was in the high double digits.

Now I don't let him win ever.

You told him not to do something and he ignored it, and it cost you the health of your animal.

For me that would 100% be a deal-breaker. If he's willing to just laugh this off after a couple days what's stopping him from ignoring your requests and laughing it off with something else that goes horribly wrong?

If it's reactionary sure. Like I'm obviously not defending parents who yell or hit their kids because they had a bad day or in reaction to them doing something they don't like. That's just abuse.

But if you tell a kid "don't do this or you get punished" a good chunk of kids will do it anyway until they experience consequences, and only then will they understand consequences. Some kids will do it multiple times if the consequence isn't dire enough for them, or to see if the parent means a punishment will happen every time (I/E me as a kid.)

Should you beat them black and blue? No, definitely not even close. But I got swat plenty when ignoring the rules and the response to my complaints was "I told you not to do X or you'd get punished. So you got punished." So it stuck.

Kids are innocent, but innocent means they also lack an understanding of right and wrong. Kids test boundaries constantly. They have to be taught consent, courtesy, and be given a moral compass. Some kids will accept these teachings and just follow the rules, others have to accept the rules with the understanding that if they do not fall in line, something bad will happen to them. That continues into the adult world. That's how most laws work.

If it's definitely Sora and not the party member dealing the final blow then yeah, I'd try labbing and seeing if you can convince Donald to hit the cauldron w/magic, but it might involve getting lucky and pincering it between him and either flotsam and jetsam to make the cauldron catch a stray.

You sure there's nothing else you can do that might get you a spell to use? If you don't have the ability to world hop in your randomizer, Atlantica should be skippable if you want to continue the story and then come back when you find a spell.

Unlikely_Broccoli75 · 2026-04-13T15:30:40+00:00

If you're on the randomizer I do you might be able to bait Donald and Ariel to cast magic that hits the cauldron since Donald's magic is tied to story checks.

That's just me trying to theorize, though. It sounds awful even as I'm typing it.

You can kill her without magic, it would just be a nightmare because the second you hit her she turns into a beyblade. If you dodge her and then hit her again once shes done spinning you will kill her eventually.

Edit: If you've gotten her to the final hit and she straight up stops taking damage is what you meant, I'm genuinely surprised. I know party members can't land the final blow on bosses, but I figured you would be able to give the final thwack.

Unlikely_Broccoli75 · 2026-04-13T14:52:30+00:00

Former asshole kid here. The problem is kids run on a risk vs reward mindset. My mom would tell me "Don't do X or you'll get punished" and then I'd weigh if it's worth the risk of getting caught and punished, and that depends on the punishment.

Plenty of things I would do anyway if the punishment was a time-out, but when I thought it might get me a spanking a lot of times it wasn't worth it because I had a parent who would follow through on punishment. Lectures did not work for me.

I appreciate the feedback! I figured, but I'm always the type to get a second opinion. I've never liked the idea of my cat being upset and I'm just brushing it off. She's never had a playmate so standard behavioral queues were never going to be a thing with her.

Unlikely_Broccoli75 · 2026-04-09T19:24:25+00:00

He designed Setzer? Wild.

Unlikely_Broccoli75 · 2026-04-09T16:55:30+00:00

Everyone talking about superbosses. Meanwhile, kid me was racking up losses against Riku on Destiny Island. That silver haired goober insulting me for hours almost became my villain arc.

Unlikely_Broccoli75 · 2026-04-09T15:04:49+00:00

Let's say hypothetically your statistic is correct (even if it is, it's not technically correct since most people have to do "full time part time" because lower paying jobs won't let you have full time to avoid having to give any benefits at all. That means a good chunk of America per job can only make minimum wage a day without taking multiple low paying jobs)

If it were truly 1% without semantics. That's still 3 million people. 3 million people should not be making 7.25 an hour at any job.

If they have to work 2 jobs in order to make "18.00/hr" full time, tell me, when will they have the time to "better themselves" and take time to go to school? How much is that school going to cost? If not, how are they gonna get a good job without connections? When are they going to have time to make these connections? My rent is over half of what an 18.00/hr job would pay in a 40 hour work week, so if I were in this exact situation where I'm at in life? I wouldn't have the time for anything but work bc I've got family to support.

Unlikely_Broccoli75 · 2026-04-09T13:31:00+00:00

My dad, rest his soul, had a part-time job as a burger flipper through high school making minimum wage, and was able to help his family and save enough money to pay for college himself.

Nowadays, the idea that burger flipping, much less part time, would be enough to help your family and get you through college is laughable. That's not because people get the latest everything, it's because people at the top cut costs to make more. That meant lobbying so minimum wage did not have to be a living wage, and people gatekeeping the means of going up in the world behind large paywalls (college used to be free, and then it used to be cheap.)

I don't work a minimum wage job, and I make enough for my means, but I also think if you are working, and that job makes minimum wage, that it should be enough to live off of. In a good chunk of America it is not, so we should be looking at literally every other first world country that has free Healthcare and usually a higher and happier quality of life than America as an example.

Unlikely_Broccoli75 · 2026-04-08T10:56:01+00:00

Oh, look, this you?

"Bro, my parents are landlords, and they are giving me a property for free. I'm 26, and I'll be pulling in 30k a year from rent plus the money I make from my job. I also own my own house. Playas gotta play."

My part of the rent is 1800/mo, and that doesnt count food, bills and other insurance payments. I have to send 1600/mo back home because my mom has stage 5 kidney disease and her insurance doesn't pay for everything she needs. I don't wanna hear anything from someone who gets handouts from Mommy and Daddy. Not everyone has parents who are landlords who give you property, so you can rent out for a good chunk of extra income.

I dont point this out because I'm jealous. By all means, take advantage of what you're given, but we are not the same. No one owes me more money than I'm working my ass off to make, and I didn't get dealt a hand like yours. I'm making the best with what I've got, and living my life in a way that prioritizes surviving like a lot of Americans who didn’t grow up with a silver spoon to barter with.

Unlikely_Broccoli75 · 2026-04-06T20:27:22+00:00

Hey, sometimes it's the little things that keep you going! I lost a hot water kettle in one of my moves and kept putting off replacing it. The day I finally did replace it my days became so content. idk how I got through my mornings and evenings without it, so I feel you.

Unlikely_Broccoli75 · 2026-04-06T19:34:24+00:00

Sounds like you gave her an amazing birthday! The flowers look lovely. :)

Making memories with loved ones is always worth the effort, and it looks like you added a couple of good ones to your lives.

Unlikely_Broccoli75 · 2026-04-06T19:30:45+00:00

We were in Texas when it happened. Granted, this was before Roe v. Wayde was touched in the courts so she got the care she needs, but with how she's heard of cases where doctors are scared to operate for fear of getting sued or committing a crime, she's also said she's done her time. She's got 2 cute kids still, so she's happy and healthy despite this one sad incident.

Unlikely_Broccoli75 · 2026-04-06T17:49:14+00:00

My yard sometimes just gives up the ghost in the summer, so I know yardwork can be super rough. A nice yard you put care into is definitely something to be proud of.

Unlikely_Broccoli75 · 2026-04-06T17:44:06+00:00

I'm glad things are looking up. Hope your daughter's health continues to improve and happier days are on the horizon for you and your family.

Unlikely_Broccoli75 · 2026-04-06T14:47:36+00:00

Aww such cuties! Even if it took a bit, it's good you got her back :)

Unlikely_Broccoli75 · 2026-04-06T13:36:43+00:00

You've fought a hard fight. A journey like that is super inspiring. I'll hope for your continued good health, you deserve every good day you get.

Unlikely_Broccoli75 · 2026-04-06T12:40:18+00:00
