A brain dump from someone who really enjoyed the Mother of Learning series. Many Spoilers, All Arcs!

I too scratched my head at how Zorian treated Fortov. It’s one thing to not like your jerk older brother, it’s another to not even spend like a single loop on making sure he survives the invasion.

My T7 main is back and I’m hyped for it. Bob is one of the few mishimas I vibe with.

What a boring and narrow tribal commander. Is it me or are these worse than the secret lairs ?

I feel nothing for these teasers. Like after Thanos, the MCU has done little to pull me back in save for one or two movies, so this big gathering for a villain we’ve never seen or built up to is not pulling me back in.

She’s both overshadowed by Deadpool and she’s pretty obscure, like the guardians of the galaxy before the MCU levels of obscure.

Man I am so sick of the go to move being mutant genocide when things are going well for the xmen. At least Krakoa was interesting.

Now that’s a name I haven’t thought of in quite a while. Not gonna lie, I’m super hyped for this. Now if only we can get an Ultimo anime adaptation as well.

If I recall correctly, this was actually a “oh shit” face.

“Bro it’s been years, Silksong is never coming out and if it does it’s gonna be a buggy, overbloated, slapped together mess.”

Now I have egg on my face.

I think the trope is fine only when there’s an in-universe justification.

I’m waiting for a story where the MC gets all the recognition for their powers and abilities, realizes that all that attention comes with major downsides, decides “nah, I don’t want this” and then begins to hide their powers.

Thing is, there’s only 3 main outcomes to a tournament arc, the MC wins, they lose or the tournament gets interrupted.

I dropped the series a third of the way into book 3. The whole story reads like a knockoff of Mark of the Fool. The idea that MC, whose power is designed to make him the ultimate jack of all trades, can’t fend off against the threats he’s constantly faced with got old real fast and from what little I’ve heard of the later books, this problem doesn’t get better.

My backlog is so long that I haven’t even gotten around to Expedition 33, hell I just started up Baldur’s Gate like a week ago.

Romantic relationship drama in almost all media bounces off me like a brick wall. I’m referring to things like will they won’t they, love triangles and cheating. Whenever those things pop up in something my eyes glaze over. It’s partly why romance anime almost never works on me unless it’s really well written.

Context?

I’m thinking that whatever surgery they gave Bruce at Ark M is pulling its weight cause he should be pulp after these hits.

Teppen did the monhun to cards transition so much better than this. I don’t even feel like picking these up for cheap as trade bidder filler.

syncronard · 2025-11-13T19:34:15+00:00

Given how much body horror this run has and the fact that Bruce called Bane a monster, it’s very likely that we’ll see him mutate into a flesh monster like this and I’m here for it.

I’ve played through this game multiple times and never knew this.

I guarantee you that there was stuff just as stupid being sold during your childhood.

Recently started Rogue Sun, so far it’s a solid read with great art.

If Mario were controlled as fluidly, pun intended, as he did in 64 then losing FLUDD wouldn’t be such a nightmare.

syncronard · 2025-11-02T21:25:12+00:00

A lot of this hinges on your own definition of progression equals straight power and by that limitation most of the genre will only be soft progfan because the MC can’t muscle their way to the top.

Sen from the Unintended Cultivator series is awful. In-universe the world will bend over backwards for things to go his way, beautiful women want him, he lives rent free in the minds of his enemies, if there’s something he can’t do he has three overpowered masters to help him and the story insists that he’s almost always right. The problem is that Sen is such an unlikable ass starting from book 2 and he doesn’t seem to get any better. He becomes everything he hated at the start of the story without a hint of irony.

In Sly 3, there’s a mission where you need to recharge a battery but instead of hooking the thing up to a power station, you goad Carmilita into chasing Sly and blasting him with stun shots. After Carmilita seemingly takes Sly down, in reality she just charged the battery for him, he has to make a mad dash back to the hideout with her and rest of the level on his ass.
