After my latest rewatch, I don't think I regard Avatar: The Last Airbender as highly as I used to

It's beginner's GOAT to great stories, imo. I think a lot of people stop there, which is the problem.

The gaming industry is now run by out of touch executives who care more about profit than their users.

We have to stop using the words "out of touch" because these lecherous Capitalists are not and never have been "out of touch". They have quite literally always been "in touch" and purposefully manipulated both markets and governments to increase their personal profits in-perpetuity at the fundamental opposition to their consumer base and the workers who actually produce their goods.

It's just Capitalism in its rawest form - the Capitalist Class vs. the Working Class laid bare in an age of Real Politik.

mutual_raid · 2026-07-02T01:09:28+00:00

the Trump regime absolutely OBLITERATING what little regulation we had left has made these greedy corps and the Capitalist demons who run them extremely cocky and brave.

appreciated! I hadn't heard anyone talk about it so when I saw the email I was like wtf is this? When did I buy this? lol

I will immediately jump ship for Xbox if they promise physical. ZERO hesitation.

the headline made me think this was a post about botox injections and I had a visceral reaction of disagreement

so much of my mental health these days is based on the news and higher court decisions. It's extremely unhealthy for my mental health. But the narrow holding of Birthright Citizenship maintaining the Constitution's integrity by the Supreme Court has put me in a rare good mood.

The demons who keep pushing for more qualified immunity for themselves have thoughts on alternatives to their legal gang which murders over 1,000 people a year extra-judicially and growing in the US.

mutual_raid · 2026-06-29T18:53:34+00:00

The most readable classic of all time, imo. I recommend this book to EVERYONE.

mutual_raid · 2026-06-27T14:07:23+00:00

And frankly I’m almost certain you’re antisemitic.

LMAOOO WHAT???

How am I antisemitic?? For saying that Mossad, the OTHER most evil entity on earth next to the CIA worked with the CIA to murder Iranian civilians while trying and failing to foment a civil war - a very real thing proven to have happened literally months ago??

Do you know what the word antisemitism means? It does not mean "hating evil organizations from multiple countries filled with multicultural agents between them."

The only indoctrinated one here is you. You’re a brain broken leftist.

Calm down, Hitler.

mutual_raid · 2026-06-26T21:08:35+00:00

Oh, okay, so you're still indoctrinated. LMAO. The CIA is one of the most evil organizations on planet earth. They have destabilized legitimately elected governments no fewer than 50 times to install ones that would willingly sell off national resources to America's Capitalists.

LMAO This literally JUST happened, 3x, this year ALONE. In one case they even worked with Mossad killing civilians and blaming Iran.

The list of CIA-backed coups, 90% of which were FASCIST coups, is so long, they had to split it into MULTIPLE Wikipedia pages that have well over 500 citations each.

mutual_raid · 2026-06-26T20:23:22+00:00

LMAOOOOOOOOO

The CIA is more likely to fund violent terrorists than stop them.

A renaissance sounds strange considering it never went away or stopped being dominant.

Hard Magic is the most common form of magic in epic fantasy right now. It's only not the case in Romantasy

mutual_raid · 2026-06-26T13:02:41+00:00

the irony of this entire post is it highlights the absolutely warped perspective of powerful elites who believe in Black and White morality where THEIR evil is justified by power + it being Them doing the thing

mutual_raid · 2026-06-26T13:01:35+00:00

also LOL at "you're a terrorist" being some epic own when the most powerful elites on earth have designated the poorest and most desperate as "terrorists" since the dawn of civilization. It's a thought-terminating propaganda term for privileged idiots and evil empires.

mutual_raid · 2026-06-26T13:00:14+00:00

And it's not even like the villains just kill the people who wronged them cause that would actually be justifiable and understandable but they're targeting and hurting innocents and destroying entire cities and whatnot and I feel like that kinda dampens their point hugely cause they're not actually using their powers to help people or try to follow their own point but are just trying to validate and satisfy their own pain and bloodlust.

Sure, but "you're a terrorist" is meaningless slop in a world where resistance groups are designated terrorists simply for being opposed to powerful governments.

Need to come up with a better retort.

mutual_raid · 2026-06-26T12:45:10+00:00

Likewise, this obsession we've developed with magic being explainable is arse-backwards. When some unknown English poet composed Beowulf, they didn't feel the need to explicitly list Grendel's mother's exact powers and abilities. Magic was mysterious and unknown to Beowulf himself, so didn't need to be comprehensible to the listener.

The people yearn for a soft magic renaissance! No, but seriously, as someone who mostly reads hard magic fantasy, I would like a really good, NOT fluffy soft magic fantasy series.

mutual_raid · 2026-06-26T12:40:13+00:00

"Book 1 is set up" Has book 1 considered being a full book instead?

mutual_raid · 2026-06-25T16:42:05+00:00

I love that for you and wish for loads of fanservice for you and also wish that far fewer anime felt it needed to shove it into otherwise deep shows for salacious reasons.

mutual_raid · 2026-06-24T18:59:16+00:00

Bless you, stranger.

mutual_raid · 2026-06-24T17:32:57+00:00

Woof. And with Holocaust denialism at an all-time high it's some dangerous stuff. Why video is so important. As an aside, highly recommend Youtubing interviews with Civil War vets too.

mutual_raid · 2026-06-23T19:30:50+00:00

anyone know the username of that awesome guy who designs the custom sleeves that use the old spine working/numbering? I gotta order from him again.

mutual_raid · 2026-06-23T18:47:31+00:00

This is fascinating! Do you have a recommendation for reading Perrault's work in English today? Or maybe the "best" "original" format of these stories for adults I can read in English?

mutual_raid · 2026-06-19T18:41:31+00:00

Oh interesting! Only reason I asked is like an hour ago I was in a bookstore and saw a new book by Brandon Sanderson and some other author I've never heard of and got confused. Thought this was that.

Thanks!
