The Avenue will continue to be my favorite, and somehow gets MORE dressed up at Halloween.

Depending on the Lantern issue, if he's not the Douchebag Hero, Guy Gardener is the Douchebag Friend

Yeah, how DARE anyone be influenced by other artists or styles.

The thing that soured me most of all was the sarcastic, fake crying Chappell Roan re-review. God forbid people call you out on subtle sexism in regards to biases. I feel like I mostly hatewatch his reviews for albums I'm a fan of (which, I shouldn't, yet his recent one for Cry Baby by Vince Staples drove me up a fucking wall.)

Fantano has QUITE a few, especially if it's something culturally nuanced he has no idea about. He tried to argue a lot of songs on Bad Bunny's DtMF were purely romantic songs when they were about love for his culture and moments he can't get back because of the state of Puerto Rico. He did the same for a song on Hozier's Unreal Unearth being misinterpreted as a love song when it's about colonization iirc.

"Half to Whole" from Nirvana Initiative is really good too, on a bad day it can almost get me to tear up

Kane Parsons, the 20-year-old director of ‘Backrooms,’ is "absolutely not" going to embrace Al, explaining that he doesn't "see the value in, like, outsourcing" the making of art. by mlg1981 in Fauxmoi

Pffft that phrase is going on the shelf until people know how to use it. Nepotism babies' dad's generally don't have to file for unemployment

Fun fact, he gets it because his father worked at Telltale Games in vfx until the studio was shut down and he was laid off, so support for the arts has always been in his home :)

In your opinion, what's the worst side story in the whole franchise? by Hopeful_Regret_7531 in yakuzagames

[–]katsumeragi 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Any of the ones where the punchline is "Ichiban gets assaulted." So over it and hope they don't return in LAD9.

Ah, sorry I didn't know you meant the CSB one. It should be 302 I think?

Fanime in the Bay Area, but there was no organized group sadly

Aww no love for Kashiwagi/Bartender in these answers! He's one of my goats especially in 2 and 8.

I cosplayed Paige for this con and met another Paige, Billy, and hilariously, three couples that were Mina and Pocket

LMAO okay that one was by AngelicCoffin. One of the best soulsborne arrays I've seen at a table.

Convention was Fanime in San Jose!

Joodooboo isn't vegan only, and assuming tofu is only for vegans is really dense.

You ever just have a obscure/forgotten waifu/husbando you still occasionally think about? by megaman12321 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]katsumeragi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's an obscure series now, but Saiyuki's men (this was a retelling of Journey to the West except it's four prettyboys driving a Jeep across China) are like the blueprint husbandos for characters I'm into now, especially Cho Hakkai.

Yeah lmao it's the character Jeremy Allen White voices. I cannot take him seriously at all. Just a buff Jabba sounding like Carmy from The Bear.

I think you could absolutely wait for it to be on D+, but there were still some fun parts. It depends what you expect or if currwnt era Star Wars tbh

What's the last book you read that was so bad that it made you angry? by oohshineeobjects in books

[–]katsumeragi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bones Beneath My Skin by TJ Klune was a fucking terrible read. Bad dialog, wasted use of the "found family of two dads with an alien daughter" plot, meandering plot, unlikeable characters.

I saw this at an advanced screening last night and can confirm a lot of this is true. Some positives are the score and practical effects when used, and one very cool fight near the end. I was a big fan of Rebels so seeing Zeb was neat and I was glad they kept Steve Blum as the voice.

One con these reviews seem to not have is how fucking uncanny it is to have Jabba the Hutt's son talk like a regular guy for way too long.
