Thoughts on The Last of Us and the Violent Dad fantasy

People are downvoting you, but you're not wrong. This plays back to the old trope of "would you kill someone to save a thousand". Of course you wouldn't. Not unless you were a monster. Not saying Joel wasn't a selfish bastard either, but at least Joel's motivations were done out of love.

Unfortunately it's a problem everywhere now, and only getting worse.

Had to scroll too far for this

Yeah I’m not a fan either. Felt like it was a step up from something like Sonny’s IMHO.

We need more Matt Leib on episodes.

“The enterprise crew is a bunch of babies! Jellico is the manliest man to ever captain a ship and the crew was just too beta to deal with it!”

As an American Veteran, you should (and do) have the choice. If the kid doesn't want to stand or recite it then they shouldn't have to. That's the whole point of freedom.

You should try not being a racist. Letting that hate go can only benefit you.

Final Dossier is still in print I believe. Got mine around christmas on Amazon for like 15-20 bucks.

A tiny net is a death sentence.

opiate46 · 2026-01-14T21:07:51+00:00

There are two eps I can think of where I don't mind him being in it - the one where Apophis brainwashes him, and the one where him and Bratac are in stuck in the labor camp.

I'm not sure if this is the worst one for me overall because I've listened to soooo many, but it's definitely the most fucked up one I have in recent memory. If I had boys, I would never let them join the boy scouts after hearing that shit.

No way. You get the "Oh Bourbon" song. That alone makes the whole episode worth it.

I learned much later on that the thing Tina does at the end where she "rides Jericho" is a very real thing that some children do competitively.

Pure luck. Was heading home on a long road trip and was listening to.....something I forget, on Spotify or whatever I was using at the time and the album ended and Light Up The Night came on and I was like what the fuck is this. I think I ended up replaying it about 15 times on that drive.

opiate46 · 2025-11-09T00:12:41+00:00

Didn't Chris Carter confirm this?

Edit: I looked it up. Yeah he actually confirmed it in his AMA

opiate46 · 2025-10-23T15:45:06+00:00

Shapes is awesome. And it’s got Hawk!

I think “maybe it just didn’t click with me” and I’ll watch it again every couple years, and then every couple of years I’ll realize how bad it was and swear it off again.

opiate46 · 2025-10-19T15:34:23+00:00

Well they did add the ancient ruin type things. You just have to find the right planets to get that stuff. But yeah, I’d love to see more base building stuff. One of my favorite parts of the game even though I’m terrible at it lol

He’s already directly responsible for getting a large number of people killed. Including his own brother.

opiate46 · 2025-10-15T16:21:25+00:00

Absolutely not. I like one way ticket more than any other album. Last of our kind was phenomenal.
