  1. So AoT s3 halfway, the titans were with us all along and the military gets political. The pacing seemed a little better but it still runs into moments where it drags on too long or sidetracks (arguably the arc itself is a sidetrack), and the big bad is a cgi monstrosity. I hope DIO as a giant monkey ends up being fun, but I think at least one titan is going to be cgi and it's going to suck. I think next up with be logh or violent evergarden. But does it have gym gods, punch ghosts, and hilarious poses?
  2. I actually just started this over the weekend. I'm hoping to get free of Google aside from my Android phone and some work stuff. Anyways it's relatively cool here at around 90f/30c, but it's storming and hurricane season is upon us so it may not be good for long. If I get hit with a hurricane after that freeze I may just leave Texas.
  3. And here I forgot incels were actually a thing. CGI is probably one of the worst things to happen to animation, and arguably all media. Absolutely hideous and ages horribly.
  4. I get my fix of that in the political threads. It was an absolute power move. Stardust Crusaders really does step up in a lot of ways. @InsaneCommander
  5. I tricked got you to start watching JoJo, so we're already on that path. While they do get weirder as time goes on, Tower of Grey was one hell of a divergence from Hamon.
  6. I'm completely sincere about Devilman Crybaby, it's a great show that works on so many levels. Hugely recommended it to anyone. What I don't recommended as much is AoT, the 2nd season of which I finished. It's still got severe pacing issues, the characters pick the dumbest times to break down or monolog, and to boot big monkey DIO got barely any screen time. Still I'm keeping with it, it's not like Majestic and SMC because I do enjoy it, the best I can liken it to is fast food. You know it's not the best but sometimes you just want to eat a burger. So long space cowboy.
  7. From my where I'm sitting, everyone under 30 thinks the US government is evil and half of middle aged folks wanted Daddy Trump to crown himself emperor. I don't think it's as simple as age.
  8. It's more correct to say that Baldur's Gate was a flagship IP two decades ago. While using Baldurs Gate 3 as the title was an obvious attempt to cash in on nostalgia, I think the big budget is mostly because WotC wanted a big game along with the new TV series to milk the IP. As such they'd probably throw many at anything they thought would be commercially successful, which is unfortunately the Forgotten Realms.
  9. I always found it interesting that there was so much more focus on people wearing masks than on cramped poorly ventilated workplaces people who couldn't work from home got packed into to make the meat grinder go brrrrrr. For example, in California at least, line cooks had the biggest rise in mortality, presumably because of the rona. Perhaps this is because blaming the dip**** who can't put on a piece of cloth for five minutes is easier than looking too closely at labor conditions, which would require more than finger wagging to fix. Anyways soon I will have the microchip and will become a Gates supersoldier or whatever is supposed to happen.
  10. I was born and raised in Texas, and went to public school and college here. Yall want to know something I wasn't taught in those educational settings? In addition to reinstating slavery after Mexico had abolished it, the 1836 Texas constitution explicitly forbid "Africans and Indians" from becoming citizens or settling permanently if they were free. Yall think the 1836 project is gonna mention that, or will it be historical revisionism to blame the history of racism in Texas on a few fellas who just decided to be **** just because?
  11. I don't think I've seen any of those. Would you recommend them? Well that sucks more than Serena's big moouf on hamburgers. Oh and since @majestic mentioned it, in AoT DIO's VA plays a moneky titan (though here a monkey does defeat a human lmao). The guy who voices Jotaro voices the scout commander, the edgelord commando is voiced by the same guy who does Rohan, and the main character is voiced by the same guy who voices Koichi but in AoT he actually kill da hoe.
  12. Yeah, if it was edited to be more concise I'd recommend it but you do have to sit through too much anime seriousness to get to the appealing stuff. I'd just stick with Paranoia Agent because that's really good. After that you might want to check out Devilman Crybaby, which is really bizarre and sexual but works due to being well paced and just different.
  13. S1 of AoT. It was 25 episodes but felt like it could have been 12. There's a lot of stuff that feels way too stretched out but something about it kept me going. I don't think @Bartimaeus would like it, but @majestic may enjoy it. Though none of the Titans can compare to STANDO POWAH!
  14. $300 for one pic is a lot for anyone, even if it is DIO's (near) nudes. Hermit Purple gonna Hermit Purple.
  15. Well you're in for a ride. Stands are a lot weirder than Hamon. At least you won't have to break a camera to watch every episode.
  16. Have you started Stardust Crusaders then?
  17. There are some major pacing issues with the first part, and characters tend to pick random times to break down and go mega drama. It's also not particularly notable in terms of animation, it never gets bad like SMC, but it doesn't really stand out. I binged a lot of episodes though so something about it is engaging enough or I'm just bored.
  18. He-Man has been already been a gay icon for decades though.
  19. Sautéed zucchini and bell peppers with hot sauce. It's good for losing weight I guess.
  20. As spoiler free as can be, the first four episodes were pretty much an introduction to the world and characters, then starting with 5 they go into a massive battle against sexless nude people, and an episode or two after is taken up mostly by a flashback to flesh out a character we'd been seeing for the entire show but who didn't talk much. If you've ever watched Penny Dreadful, it was like the seasonal exposition dump for Vanessa Ives but without Eva Green's acting to support it.
  21. Been looking at getting another job and maybe moving to Austin. Looks like rent will be a bit more expensive but otherwise not much of a change.
  22. More AoT, the battle begins only to be interrupted by character backgrounds. I'm not sure what to think, the zip line jumping is really hard to follow and I couldn't really tell you much about the characters, but I guess the action can be pretty fun. Unfortunately it gets interrupted frequently at this point and I'm having a hard time caring about the characters so far. I may end up going for Legend of Galatic Heroes or rewatching Golden Wind instead.
  23. Which is? I can't find anything where Omar called for criminal prosecution of hate speech. When I do search all that comes up are her wanting an ad that pastes her face on a rocket taken down, her sending a letter to Facebook over hosting genocidal hate speech in Ethiopia (during massacres), and introducing a bill that criminalizes police violence against protestors. The first two are pretty standard politician stuff and the last is something that is defending free speech. The more I look into this the more it looks like a whopping nothingburger.
  24. "I haven’t seen any evidence in either case that domestic courts can and will prosecute alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity. And I would emphasize that in Israel and Palestine that this includes crimes committed both by the Israeli security forces and Hamas. In Afghanistan, it includes crimes committed by the Afghan national government and the Taliban. In both of these cases, if courts can’t or won’t pursue justice and we oppose the ICC, where do we think the victims of these supposed crimes can go for justice? And what justice mechanisms do you support for them?" "We must have the same level of accountability and justice for all victims of crimes against humanity. We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban. I asked @SecBlinken where people are supposed to go for justice." For the life of me I can't see the problem. I guess some people are addicted to being mad.
