Beastars - The End of Beastars - Part 1 of ???? So first of all this bull**** with split seasons can go **** itself. Just make two seasons and save us all the confusion. More importantly it's pretty funny, there's just something about doing a show about anthropomorphic animals while also doubling down on them being animals that is hilarious. We're introduced to the Beastar, a horse who is pretty much Batman in a wifebeater, that hunts down criminals and turns carnivores into fertilizer to grow his carrots. That alone had me laughing for quite a bit. But then there's some stuff that can be read interestingly (both good and very bad), like the difficulties of interspecies relationships, discrimination against carnivores, and the difference between land and sea. Anyways the show is full of stuff like that with uncanny cgi that doesn't grate as bad when it's not humans.

Honestly I think we're dealing with an addiction to anger/outrage that's reached a place where the real non-issue things they'd get in a frenzy over don't do it for them anymore, so they're having to make unhinged **** up like immigrants eating pets or whatever trans conspiracy is big this week to keep up their high. I'm not sure if there is a real solution here because the places they go to get their fixes are reinforcing and most of their other circle end up getting too turned off by whatever weird **** they're on about now to stay around. The trans stuff specifically is weird because chances are the biggest interaction they've had with a transperson is online, either fighting on socials or viewing videos of a.....sexual nature*. It's not a good time to be talking to a guy about work stuff only to have them derail the conversation with some **** about the gubbermint paying for transgender operations or whatever. *please read this in the voice of Matt Berry's Laszlo Cravensworth

Whenever people start talking about "biological women" I feel bummed out because I'm expecting to see a non-biological woman, by which I mean a lady robot, and that's never the case. If only the AI people put in work for that instead of an aggregated plagiarism generator that does everything bad and wrong then maybe we could be dealing with robots instead of whatever has the brain wormed mad this week. Would be refreshing.

I mean in retrospect I have to say that Utena does hit great.....though the black rose stuff is still not the best. Kinda feel like rewatching it now. I think all of us itt should enter a pact where we will all work to destroy any doublegangers of said pact members.

At least it's coming back soon....still waiting on Chainsaw Man, Hell's Paradise, Dorohedoro, and One Punch Man. @Bartimaeus First of all, you have a doppelganger here under the name "Bartimeus". If you want help defeating him you've got my sword. Less importantly.....I got to say I watched the magic emi credits again and maybe it's the more Lynchian vibe of the OVA but I don't like the first one very much. Based on what you've written about the show I can read a lot of stuff into it, but I think it does communicate Emi's sadness at not having gotten good at "fake" magic and struggling to do it instead of effortlessly doing it in her BRACK RADY slightly older magical girl form. On a more technical level, the OVA also seems to be more on beat with the song to me if that makes sense.

Taken solely as the 2 minute clip you posted, I like it. It seems like the magician girl is realizing that she's just a dream of a young(er) child, one that disappears as the kid becomes a teenager in a much different reality than what she dreamed of. And then haunting refrain at the end of the girl at her desk invokes the kind of longing for her childhood dreams in the face of the reality of (young) adulthood. For me it hits like a more wholesome speedrun of Mulholland Drive, but I didn't watch the anime or OVA. What I did watch was the most recent Dandadan. Boy howdy I wish other shows paid their animators better because it's nice to not see PS2 era CGI. Also the idea of an anatomical model from a science class coming to life to search a dump for a discarded anatomical model that it's in love with is honestly not anything I would have put on a bingo card but here we are. Not the worst surprise of 2024.

Yes, is that a bad thing though?

I have to say that everything I've heard about United Healthcare since someone shot the CEO honestly made me curious why it took this long for someone to try to kill him. Sort of a weird curiosity in the US where the rampant violence doesn't trickle up to bizness guys, politicians, and other members of the ruling class. And while I would never condone murder.....I can say that it's not as gut wrenching to see a cartoonishly evil company man get shot than a bunch of school kids.

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/how-syria-rebels-stars-aligned-assads-ouster-2024-12-08/ So the first picture in the article features a guy with an ISIS flag and yet there's no mention of ISIS in the article at all? Huh, that's a little weird.

Well Israel helped Hamas to undercut the PLO so probably ok.

US Presidential Elections - 2024 edition
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Gorth's topic in Way Off-Topic
Rhonda Sanctimonious has been running for president since he was in middle school and anything he does is purely based on what at the time seems to be the best way to get there. I think being a Trump loyalist is a requirement to getting anywhere in the Republican party and being able to shift the blame for losing Florida in a hypothetical anti-Trump blue wave would be better than sticking it out in a job he's already tried to get out of. My bet is that if it's offered he takes it. -
I don't think anyone but perhaps the most braindead rules based law and order guy is surprised that Biden pardoned his son. There's no way in hell Biden is going to do anything but retire after the start of the year and he may as well flex the benefits while he has them. And while I don't think he cares about political consequences, and neither do the dems generally or else they maybe wouldn't have spent the last 4 months hanging out with Liz Cheney, by the time the next election season hits Hunter Biden will have evaporated from the collective consciousness.

Random video game news... renewed!
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to LadyCrimson's topic in Computer and Console
How naughty But I think all of this just shows how the trogs get big mad over nothing at all. It does not appear that the game is preventing you from playing as a fella or a lady, yet in the deranged minds of outrage addicted terminally online reprobates you'd think Avowed would be pumping your avatar with fantasy HRT before forcing you to use neopronouns. Truly an alternative reality, they should make their own games if they want a safe space. -

Look, we need to have enough toggles so everyone can have a curated reality. Ya gotta have pronouns and no pronouns, gore and no gore, bombing hospitals and not bombing hospitals. -

Oh man you should totally read it. "Elon Musk is also involved in this controversy" - Elon is butthurt and spends too much time on twitter It somehow completely misses a reference to an almost decade old meme because the author is so butthurt about teh pronouns "Forced DEI in gaming" - bruh they got elves And the cherry on top is they're still gonna stan the game. -
Ok that's a different thing all together. Never pass up an opportunity to insult the incels, I'd tell them to go to hell but that's probably a nicer time than being in the comments of Matt Walsh videos. And the snowflakes are a good indicator of media literacy being terribly low, many such cases. The only things I've reported to the mods is treating wizardry as a laughing matter and images from a Polish neo-nazi site.

It seems like my read of the game as a Whendonist-Gunnist action romp is largely panning out. Not necessarily a bad thing (well, the Whedonite dialogue is) but the gameplay itself just doesn't seem like a very good action game to me. On top of that I am biased towards rpgs and after BG3 it's a bit off-putting to see Dragon Age veer away from that and towards action gameplay (which many more games do and often do better). From my end I just don't see a reason to pick this up, my time is limited as it is and dunking 70 hours or so into a mediocre experience does not sound like a good thing. The "woke stuff" is really just baffling in that both Bioware has been doing it my whole adult life so it shouldn't be a surprise and how consistently TV/Game writers just aren't very good at it because they're (hopefully) well meaning guys whose interactions with "woke DEI CRT BLM/ANTIFA" are secondary at best. Generally I don't think it should be more than a footnote but between a terminally online cadre of anger addicted losers and an industry of youtube videos with random capitalization pretty much anything with "representation" is going to generate 1000000 hours of "gowokegobroke" content. Very tiresome tbh.

I'm sure the rules based international order will follow the rule of law and enforce those warrants. -

Honestly, I think it's not unlikely RFKJR gets Trump with the raw milk. Vance is too busy playing CK2 to be president. -
Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, Part VII
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to bugarup's topic in Computer and Console
So the patch is out and I've checked out Gold Dragon 1. Gold Dragon form now works with Shifter's Fury so you can now get multiple attacks. It does not seem to work with Wildshape specific feats though. Given some of the spell synergy (ie +3 attacks for a minute - Gold Dragon form only), I imagine a Gold Dragon Shifter would actually want to run as a Fiendflesh to take advantage of aspects. 2. The breath stuff is a selectable special ability every mythic rank, with an extra at 10. There's 10 options, 6 standard, and 2 each for regular and corrupted. They seem pretty good but with the breath being a standard action you may have better **** to do that blast it. If my reading is right it can be really strong, with a corrupted dragon hitting for 35 d8 +35 d8 on living enemies with a relatively big dc. 3. A third level 10 spellbook has hit the game. It's ok, there's no unique spells outside of 8,9, and 10 and it's direct damage, summons, and some personal buffs. Notably, you can keep merged spells from your previous path if you merged. -

The design for Femto is heavily inspired the Phantom.
