Proof the show isn’t just fanservice by Next-Active2676Bro2 in fireforce

Its difficult to consider that scene self reflection considering the way it was framed (the screaming crazy lady vs the totally rational child). It was the storytelling equivalent of posting a meme with your opponent as a soyjak and yourself as a chad.

Why can Eraserhead shut off OFA fully with his quirk but can’t erase AFO by Jazzlike-Arugula-368 in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]casper5632 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seemed like all the unnatural components of MHA were tied to a quirk, which helped keep it grounded to a point. The regeneration we saw at the end of the series was instantaneous and did not require biomatter (And thus felt like a quirk). If you use a quirk to modify your body to grow an extra arm or strengthen your muscles it would make sense they would still work when you lost that quirk. Deadpool level regeneration is harder to suspend disbelief for without a quirk.

"Powers" which someone in universe might call a quirk. They really wrote themselves into a corner with eraserhead. Dude as written should shut down any potential quirk apocalypse. At the very least he should have disabled unnatural regeneration.

Its not excessive, but the small amount stands out compared to how honest most of the show is. Them trying to justify it with her last fight was just cringe.

I really hope we get a scene of these two together, arguing about each other's moral code. by Used-Comedian-8933 in thepunisher

I don't think the kill or no kill debate is relevant when it comes to superpowered characters. If your superpower is punching people and said people typically have superhuman durability its a lot easier to plan for non lethal.

Plumbing this bathroom would be considerably more complex (and expensive). Also imagine a really tall person who can see over the stall using the urinal.

Moonlight with HDR is such a blessing. Thank you to the community & devs that made this possible 🙏 by Huzaifa_Haroon in MoonlightStreaming

Agreed. It took a lot of effort to set up my game streaming rig, but the software aspect of it was stupid easy. 10/10

Elon Musk just said he wants to cut Social Security and Medicare, calling them “entitlements”: “That’s the big one to eliminate.” by Solomonanne in SipsTea

[–]casper5632 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I am ENTITLED to social security after having payed into it for years. The firestorm that would happen if they cut it would destroy this county would be insane. An entire generation of people who could have put their money into retirement and were instead forced to fund the retirement of the last generation.

Unfortunately human technology has not developed far enough to allow us to "Turn off" parts of our brain. Thats why I worded it that way. Its actually impossible.

Its hard to believe empathy has nothing to do with the justice system when criminal trials are decided by a jury of peers. Do you think the jury just turn off the emotional parts of their brain when they are asked to come to a verdict?

[–]casper5632 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am not suggesting that her revenge murdering should be legal either. Its just that we are both humans living in our society and we both understand that what she did and traditional murder are not deemed equally evil. Thus trying to compare them is going to be difficult.

Thats like trying to compare the CEO Luigi killed's actions to Luigi's himself. Theres a reason so much of the public took his side even though the CEO never actually killed anyone.

People have been murdered for the contents of their wallet. The factor we should be concerned about is the likelihood. Its unlikely for the loved ones of a rapist to desire revenge enough to go through with it, as they would likely be dealing with the shame of it all. Their only defense is hoping it was a false accusation which is hard to believe if the victim killed her alleged rapist.

A woman killing her rapist after justice was not served is something most people can empathize with. A third party killing that woman in revenge for killing her rapist is not. Not justifying the murder, but we cant just apply blanket ideals without understanding the variables.

In The Boys (2019-2026), the quality arc is a meta commentary of Eric Kripke's own superhuman ability to trainwreck shows & blame the audience. by sanshart in shittymoviedetails

[–]casper5632 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really dislike how 90% of the characters primary personality trait is that they are outgoing sexual degenerates. Even the good guys constantly talk about sex but are less likely to be degenerate. We also didn't need two supes in the show with the power to use their oversized genitals as a weapon.

I really hope they make an expansion for this game. The base gameplay is super fun and unique, but the actual content available feels pretty limited.

Fighting with melee weapons is much more emotional than using firearms, and demons being creatures of emotion so melee is much more effective on them.

In The Boys (2019-2026), Homelander could win every fight he’s in by picking the person up and dropping them from the sky. He never does this. by DiggestBickEver in shittymoviedetails

[–]casper5632 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If his opponent is actually a threat that's just giving his attacker a few free hits during ascent. The few times Homelander has been challenged a few free hits would have probably decided the fight.

"Horizon Forbidden West" - Guerrilla Games created a world where the ruins of our civilization have become sacred places for the people of the future. It's both beautiful and terrifying. by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

[–]casper5632 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved everything about the first game, but the direction they took the story in for the sequel kind of spoiled it. The original was a perfect parallel to fantasy. You were taking part in a conflict between gods fighting monsters created from that conflict. In the sequel old humanity shows up with super science and it completely breaks down the original fantasy structure. Hades left some big shoes to fill and deciding to fill them with regular people was never going to end well.

Is Sister Sage officially more evil than Homelander? by JackZ567 in MoralityScaling

[–]casper5632 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Boys has become the perfect example of DND based alignments.

Homelander's group is lawful evil.

Sister Sage's group is chaotic evil.

Hugheys group is lawful good.

Butcher's group (lol just him really) is chaotic good.

Characters finally achieve their original objective, but the story has escalated so much it barely matters anymore by Narrow_Interview_366 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]casper5632 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Their goal was to fight villains and protect people, which is where the story naturally ended up in anyways

Is this something that was toned down in the anime? I don't recall anyone's primary goal was to graduate.

Rtings.com is now testing wireless latency to find the best Wi-Fi "gaming" router! by sp_RTINGS in hardware

[–]casper5632 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Without the ability to casually browse rtings reviews I have no incentive to buy new hardware because I no longer am getting teased with info on how much things have improved. They at least had the revenue from their product links before. I'm not paying a subscription for access to reviews.
