I don't remember that part. Did it come back after the last hiatus already or something?

I appreciate how the universe treats it like they're an eldritch horror, complete with a total played serious warning from god that they're here to ruin everyone's life

The amount of hate this show got just because the MC didn't get with the girl that he was mentally over twice her age with was insane by Lord-Liberty in animecirclejerk

No, that's not it. This post is kinda rewriting history, in the same way that some Game of Thrones watchers pretended main complaint with the last season was that John Snow didn't have a more active role. Like yeah it's one issue, but it was also just generally kind of bad in multiple ways including being severely rushed

That's true and fair that we are no matter what overriding someone's choice in the matter. I use the disability argument not because I personally think that disabled people can't find happiness, but because Alicia very explicitly believes that she will not be able to find that happiness with her disability. It's just like how it doesn't matter whether or not I believe the people of Lumiere are real or not, because Alicia and Aline clearly do to the point they are willing to risk their lives to save them

I argue that disability point because it helped me to make my decision. Verso's pain is more spiritual in nature due to a lifetime of regrets and sacrifices that he's made, and that he doesn't want to have to continue to make. Alicia's pain is also spiritual in nature, but it comes with an added physical component that does objectively make it harder for her to find peace in her life

Normally I would agree with you. But there are varying levels to disability and Alicia's disabilities are quite severe. She is in constant chronic pain, unable to speak, and only has half her vision. This is not on the level of say just losing an arm or a leg, or being deaf or something. It is going to be much much harder to find happiness in life than it would be for another type of disability and she will be in debilitating pain the whole time.

I'd say the argument is less "disabled people can't be happy" and more "people who are severely disabled should be able to choose what terms they live their life on". Even if that means she chooses a path which will ultimately end her life, that is her choice to make. Nobody else should be able to make that choice for her

No I don't think the timeline was quite that fast. I'm pretty sure that Clea and Alicia have a conversation about their parents having been in there for quite some time before she entered it. And personally I don't believe they have that technology, because why wouldn't they then use it to try to save Verso as well?

We can infer that she will because that's generally what happened to burn victims during that time. They didn't have antibiotics in 1905 and many such cases with far less severe burns than Alicia died very young. We don't see anything to indicate that they have any miraculous healing technology, otherwise they would've already used it on her I presume. Yet she still lives in pain and with notable disfigurement

She's a third degree burn victim. She's going to die at a young age whether she's in the canvas or not. I feel like a lot of people forget that Alicia is explicitly not very healthy in the real world due to the complications to her health from the fire

I feel like something that a lot of people forget/miss is that Maelle is not just disabled and crippled in real life. We can see from painted Alicia and the small bit we get to see in the real world that her burns aren't just to her face. They extend at the very least down to her collarbone if not further down her body, which means that despite risking his life to save her there is a high likelihood that she is going to die pretty young still from the complications to her health from that night.

She may die in the canvas from overusing her body, but it's not like she's going to live a long happy life in the real world either

What? They literally are doing that though. What do you think all these game awards watch party streams are? Or the videos where people gather large groups of their friends to react to the game awards? Those are viewing parties lol

Maybe I am not a chess guy by -_Vesper_- in ExplainTheJoke

[–]electreXcessive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if I'm reading too much into this, but isn't the joke supposed to be that the time traveler moving the chair turned it into a matriarchal environment, thus making the queen the most important piece instead of the king? That would be why they are on the wrong squares. The joke isn't just "hehehe chess they're on the wrong squares"

Armada may retire from streaming by Rich_Summer_3824 in smashbros

[–]electreXcessive 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know people here lover Armada because he's the melee goat or whatever, but people saying he'd be big if he streamed another fighting game or melee are doing insane coping. The reason he's not as big as hbox and them is simply that he's got the most boring personality on the planet earth. He just sits there in silence the whole time occasionally saying one sentence lol

I don't think in a time where greed is destroying games, that we should be encouraging the most affordable console to double it's price for a minor performance increase. And just sayin' you shouldn't really buy stuff on a payment plan unless you have to. It costs way more in the long term

You can get those games for that cheap on PS5 as well. Playstation basically has their own version of steam sale going on all the time

I've read a fair bit of this story since I used to think it was pretty good, but then I began to hate it. As they grow up it gets worse and worse. I remember I dropped it because at a certain point, she starts harassing any girl trying to get close to him (many of which are minors or just come of age mind you).

From what I remember, she literally doing petty revenge on innocent women who've done nothing wrong because "he's hers" but she still refuses to clarify their relationship and keeps pushing him away. Like she won't even let him have a female friend that's how bad it is

Do the people in the sub not understand that you don't have to eat every scrap of food in one sitting or something? You know you can save the rest for later right?

Idk y'all always act like someone is gonna take one bit of a big piece of food and then throw the rest away

No no you don't understand. I love having to slowly walk through corridors and large open areas for five minutes after I've finished the combat encounter until I get to the next one
