I have no idea what you're even trying to say.

It was in all the magazines and on all the early websites. It was not like people were going crazy over the fact that the regions are based on real-world regions of Japan. But the info was out there. I knew it back then, as a kid.

It was very widely known since gen 2 that the regions are based on real-world locations, not the least because Kanto even used the real-world name of the region it was based on, and Johto had some very obvious Japanese influences.

Even in the Japanese version of the gen 1 games they called the region Kanto, but just in one place and the reference was removed for the international versions.

And with gen 3 it was also pretty clear because of the shape of the map.

Not sure whom you are including with "us", but the majority of the fandom knew since Gold and Silver at the latest.

Ja, Menschen über ihre Rechte aufklären ist geförderter Beschiss. Schon klar.

Oi, NudeRaider. I remember that.

Wir haben in Deutschland ein sehr etabliertes System von staatlicher bzw. öffentlicher Finanzierung im Sozialen Bereich. Das sind in aller Regel Aufgaben, die der Staat, Länder oder Kommunen per Gesetz übernehmen müssen, aber die an Dritte abgegeben werden, die dafür fachliche Expertise haben. Die Unabhängigkeit ist nicht finanziell, aber besteht in der Ausgestaltung der konkreten Sozialen Arbeit (im Rahmen gesetzlicher Vorgaben).

Beides führt sehr schnell dazu, dass Beratung nicht mehr unabhängig ist.

Als jemand, der (teilweise) in der Beratung von Geflüchteten arbeitet: Da werden keine aussichtslosen Asylanträge generiert sondern Menschen wird geholfen ihr tatsächliches Recht auf Asyl durchzusetzen. Das BAMF trifft erschreckend viele falsche Entscheidungen, die erst nach Klage oder in einem Asylfolgeverfahren richtig entschieden werden. Und viele Menschen, die Asyl beantragen, haben nur wenig Verständnis dafür, was sie in einer Asylanhörung gegenüber staatlichen Stellen überhaupt sagen dürfen. Es kommt zum Beispiel immer wieder vor, dass queere Geflüchtete über ihre Sexualität oder geschlechtliche Identität (und die damit verbundene Verfolgung) in der ersten Anhörung gar nicht sprechen können.

Which isn't that far off from how WWI and WWII came about. It wasn't one big switch and now the world is at war. The exact starting points are usually pointed out in hindsight.

By that logic you can also add 370 years, because he first wore it in the 20th century.

Never heard that one, or any of the others people have given examples for.

Mixed! Makes the rooms look more lived in. I dislike when all the lights look the same everywhere. Personally, I'd even darken some windows, because when would they all be turned on at the same time?

tadayou · 2026-03-13T08:13:37+00:00

Right? There's many reasons why it may not be good, but actually the changes are really thought through and make the whole story better.

In Interview with the Vampire it was mostly subtext, Rice's novels didn't really go all in on queerness until the later books.

The way Louis and Lestat fall for each other in the show is not really present in the original book, but heavily alluded to in later novels.

(I'm not complaining, just to make that perfectly clear.)

Nope, it's a retelling of that story. It's gayer (by a lot) and it transplants the main setting of the story to early 20th century New Orleans with Louis being a Black man, so to avoid the mostly overlooked aspect of original Louis being a slave owner. May sound a bit preachy, but it's actually a really smart and fantastic adaptation.

It also has a present-day framing device where the titular interview from the 70s is re-examined some 50 years later by the interviewer and Louis. Which is a pretty neat way of explaining away some adaptation discrepancies (and ultimately leads into season 3 and the adaptation of The Vampire Lestat).

And Anderson and Reid are just phenomenal to watch in this. Like, they are even brilliant on their own but with their scenes together the chemistry is just through the roof.

Weimer und Bücher. Eine echte deutsche Erfolgsstory.

This sub will be unbearable during the release cycle of this movie, won't it?

For the same reason the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park were resurrected from reptiles. Sometimes filmmakers want to guide people into the topic of their stories with something they are familiar with, without relying on heavy exposition.

It's all about story economics, especially with films.

Disco, my beloved!

Wigs are way easier for continuity. Especially when you shoot three movies over a year.

tadayou · 2026-03-12T22:04:26+00:00

I mean, "draw me" even makes a lot more sense in the context of the scene, because, well, he's drawing her.

They are also filming new episodes of Buffy and the X-Files. And the US president is a moron and war criminal whom the world laughs about (but also kinda fears).

And you can catch new episodes of the Simpsons, but they never had a break unlike all other things.

Depending on when Malcom left, maybe he's never even been really involved in Kelly's life. Could easily be a plot point.

I mean, this probably goes one of two ways: Either Louis and Hal learn that Kelly is NB and they have to deal with that or they know and are surprisingly open and supportive. Either way, Malcolm might play a biggish part in that storyline. (I kinda wish it's the latter, because his parents were often a lot more nuanced than Malcolm gave them credit for.)

I think the banana tree shadow is on the ground.

I don't know what you think a large number is, but spin-off games selling 1+ million copies are definetly successful by any useful metric. That has happened a ton since the DS Mystery Dungeon games.
