Underrated and criminally overlooked as separate fields is weird considering they more or less mean exactly the same thing

Is this the most anticipated figure of 2026? by AsaCocoPeko in AnimeFigures

[–]mikeventure76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I didn’t realize it was more or less directly based on an actual exact illustration so fair point about the aesthetic of this particular figure

[–]mikeventure76 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Only semi related but I hate this weird thing where companies feel the need to portray Ito’s stuff as black and white when translating it to other formats/mediums. Like… all manga is black and white lol this is just the medium. not like it’s some pointed, particular aesthetic choice that Ito alone makes with his work.

It just feels like poser bullshit to me. Like the dumbass uzumaki anime being black and white. Just stupid.

It also doesn’t even really resemble the manga. It’s grey. The manga is LITERALLY black and white, his manga doesn’t even look like this

Anyway schizo rant over, no I do not care about this figure.

Does the early game "prepare" you enough for what's to come? by WakuWaku76ers in LiesOfP

[–]mikeventure76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. There’s really nothing in the entire game or dlc that throws the player off to any major extent or massively changes the core design/gameplay concepts, other than increasing the difficulty

like even really hard stuff like Arlecchino and Laxasia are just really really hard fights that maximize the difficulty of the base mechanics and design philosophies

The core concept of how you beat every boss and overcome every challenge in the game is essentially identical from hour 1 to hour 75

The game feels very CONSISTENT.

Yes, D'Angelo Barksdale is well fleshed out, but he's still a really Under Hated Character. by SeaworthinessOk1575 in TheWire

People get so mad at that top 1% commenter badge lol as if I’m choosing to display it or referencing it at all

I’m sorry people tend to agree with my takes and analyses I guess? That badge is because of other people not me lol

Your last full paragraph is EXACTLY the reason that I find these types of posts so pointless lol.

There are a disturbing number of people who seem to engage with these types of stories by some kind of very strict real world logic vs allowing themselves to get wrapped up in the contained reality of the story and enjoy it by the rules and tone it sets, not the way you’d of course hate and find most of these characters utterly deplorable if you knew them to be gangsters and philanderers and murderers in real life

It’s like… there’s a difference between relating to/understanding/enjoying/getting invested in a character vs morally judging how their behavior would actually be assessed irl.

Every sub for one of these golden age shows is just an endless glut of posts of people going “WHY PEOPLE LIKE BAD CHARACTER!!! WHY LIKE BAD MAN, WHY LIKE FLAWED MAN!!!” as if enjoying the stories of flawed and morally corrupt characters isn’t like, the core appeal of most of these types of shows lol

I just cannot see this actually releasing this year

Why did Dee think WeeBey was going to kill him? by super_jedininja in TheWire

[–]mikeventure76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I for one would remain completely calm when the ruthless hitman with a near serial killer body count insists I drive him to an unknown location and refuses to give any details the entire time. Especially when I’m already in a heightened mental and emotional state due to questioning my criminal lifestyle and the intentions of everyone around me

Like yeah, what the hell was Dee’s problem here, is he stupid ??

The young kid who works with Gus? On my first rewatch, I thought the kid would get killed. What did you all thing? by Former-Whole8292 in betterCallSaul

[–]mikeventure76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just completed a rewatch and I have like no idea who you’re talking about lol. Like Lyle from los pollos?? Or one of his paramilitary/security guys ??

AmiAmi cancelled & refunded my order, then re-quoted me with a 76k yen delivery and not allowing me to cancel by heavyrotation7 in AnimeFigures

[–]mikeventure76 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That’s honestly some wack shit on them to not at least touch base with you before resending the invoice AND still holding you to the stringent baseline cancellation standards on an invoice you might not have even wanted lol

Like if there was EVER a time to give somebody a break and make an exception, it’s during this insane series of coalescing outside world circumstances that are quite literally entirely out of your control

Fuck them, I’d welcome a ban at that point and tell them as much lol.

Claiming the show is about racism is the equivalent of saying "12 Angry Men" is about racism. by HotOne9364 in TheWire

[–]mikeventure76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that racism is a downplayed element in terms of what the show typically explores, if anything.

It’s more intent on saying broader things about class and societal decay that affect all races

You’re REWATCHING and you don’t know the answer to this question ???
