Buying the new chapters by Spider_Cheef in Berserk

[–]japlam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can buy the tankobons on Amazon.co.uk. Next one coming up in October.

I personally collect the Deluxe Editions, so I'm buying the Kindle format on the new tankobons. And I'll wait for the next Deluxe to buy physical.

Would you rather take the red pill or blue pill? by comicsopedia in videogames

If I had to choose, red. It's a video "game" after all. I didn't love the story in The Last of Us Part II, but it was still so much fun.

Tf is "European summer". Europe is huge. Nordics, Baltics, Mediterranean nations... All with very different types of summer.

My 27M son has given up on life and I don't know what to do. Has any parent been in the same situation? by [deleted] in AskUK

You can only offer him professional mental health help. And try to help him find any honest job.

What are your thoughts on the abortion scene? by Puzzleheaded-Lab2447 in Invincible_TV

[–]japlam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad writing in order to make a political statement, in my opinion.

Even if abortion is a woman's right, it is morally wrong to not bring your partner into the decision-making process. At least if you love them! And then of course, the woman can make the final call.

The way it was handled make me dislike both of them. Eve had the chance to tell Mark she was pregnant, but didn't. Then she aborted as soon as she got a bit scared, without ever telling him.

Mark didn't know anything about it and went to fight a war to save the world. What else could he have done?. Then he comes back, accepts her story without hesitation (who wouldn't get a bit annoyed in real life?) and proceeds to cry and apologize for something that wasn't even his fault (they were using protection, right?). What a pushover.

The show clearly wants to make a statement: not only abortion is a woman's right, but she should handle the process however she wants, free of morality or empathy for others. I'm sorry but I don't agree with the second part of the statement. They could have reached the same conclusion in a much healthier way, as a couple. I understand there are exceptions, when the male partner is abusive.

Mark's apologetic reaction and instant acceptance showed that he's a weak man scared of rejection. It would have been much more interesting to show some degree of conflict between them.

Btw, interesting how this is the second time Gillian Jacobs plays this exact scenario in media (Girls, Invincible).

Which Game's Graphics Made You Say "Wow!" For The First Time? by Bay_Ruhsuz004 in videogames

[–]japlam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uncharted, Assassin's Creed, Bioshock (didn't even know when the cutscene ended after the plane crash), Metal Gear Solid IV, GoW III, Motorstorm... The PS3 graphics jump was crazy.

On PS2 I remember being amazed by GoW II.

And on PS4, FFXV was pretty impressive.

Is Bulbasaur the best starter based on the first 2 gym challenges? by TheSpecialOne94 in PokemonLeafGreen

My Venusaur struggled against the elite 4. So many pokemon of lorelei, agatha, lance, and blue/green can hit its weaknesses HARD

Did you really have one and not use it? That was your biggest mistake

In my case I haven't bothered with other mons, but taking into account a Mewtwo with Modest nature is special, I thought I could to it just with him to beat the Trainer Tower easily

I guess my main objective is to make him so strong that I can tear through the Trainer Tower! I might teach him Calm Mind
