    Most of what I recommend to you wasn't received well, so I was joking about you eviscerating my taste lmao. I don't have a preference in regards to art style beyond CGI IS BAD (IT IS), but in terms of content I tend to gravitate towards some weird ****. Aggretsuko is sometimes light to enjoy but not get terribly invested in. That's not saying it's not good, more in that its strength is more in how low-stakes it is. Another one down, soon this whole thread will be JoJo fans. Because it sounds vaguely inappropriate or because someone else will watch JoJo. Both work tbh. Maybe it's because you watched it at 2x speed, but several characters in Devilman Crybaby were.

    I hate to ask what you think about my preferences lmao. Insomnia struck last night so I watched Aggretsuko s2. It's sort of slice of life with elements of Office Space that features anthromorphic animals and death metal karaoke.

    I think they will, I'm just nervous because it will take so long.

    A couple of years before the 'rona, I saw Dave Chapelle and Jon Stewart. Dave was great, I think a lot of his material (like the Chuck Berry sextape) ended up in one of his Netflix specials (the last one that was funny). Jon Stewart was meh, it really felt like he was trying to bring back the Daily Show and fell flat tbh. They brought a couple of opening acts, Mo Amer was first and I found the dude to be hilarious (he's got a Netflix special that was his act then, I'd recommend it). And Pete Davidson was the other opener. He...did not do too well, when he got laughs it was more out of sympathy. I had no idea who Pete was at the time, so I ended up googling him after the show. This would be a mistake. See at the time Pete was dating a popstar, and the algorithms thought me wondering who the hell this guy was meant I was interested in his sex life. So whenever my news feed would update, I'd get spammed with at least a couple of articles about Pete and his gf. When I'd try to say I wasn't interested, it would give me the option of "not interested in comedy" which wasn't true, I just didn't care about this dude's sex life. Eventually I was able to get tell the algorithm I wasn't interested in Pete Davidson, but it took a lot of frustration to get there. So if you've enjoyed comedy articles in your feed without getting stories about Pete Davidson's romantic encounters, you can thank me for that.

    Bringing it close does help, but it's still harder than using my right eye. I'd say when using my left eye only reading is difficult at best. It's been frustrating for me because my vision itself is fine to the point I didn't notice there was an issue until I failed the test with my left eye. Especially because I need that ****ing license and Texas has made it's bureaucracy absolutely painful to deal with so those pesky minorities won't vote because of freedom.

    Looking at my paperwork, Sphere is +1.25 and Cylinder is -3.25. I'm still trying to make heads or tails of that, I know I have been diagnosed with astigmatism and hyperopia, but putting the numbers to it is another thing for me. All I know is that my left eye sees things blurry and struggles to read text even when it's close. You neglected to mention the other option I have, which is the monocle. [insert pompous aristocratic laugh]
  8. PK htiw klaw eriF
    You. But I do have news about my eye, taking advantage of a negative rona test I got an appointment for an eye exam. Both eyes are healthy so yay there. My right eye sees fine, but it looks like the left has an astigmatism which needs correction (+1.25×-3.25 I think, idk much about glasses). The glasses are ordered and will be in about 2 weeks from now. I hope they work because I need to pass that damn vision test to renew my license, which I need for my current job and because Houston was bulldozed to make having a car essential.

    Oh yeah definitely, in a lot of ways it is like the new SW trilogy in that they probably didn't plan ahead and just winged it as they went along. Still, the Reapers stand out for me more for some reason, I guess because MechaCthullu would be cool. Not enough to watch a 40 minute video. Yes that's an orangutan, the emojis around here are weird. At least he isn't smoking or wearing a captain's hat.
  10. PK htiw klaw eriF
    You know what, Mass Effect really blew it. The Reapers would have worked much better as something incomprehensible instead of a Rogue AI or whatever it was. They teased MechaCthullu and delivered mecha middle manager instead. Anyways, Archive 81. It was ok, it got less scary when the CGI demon took over and the conspiracy/cult stuff got less obvious.
  11. PK htiw klaw eriF
    Negative on the rapid test.
  12. PK htiw klaw eriF
    Do they explain the reapers that appear?
  13. PK htiw klaw eriF
    Why would it? Conspiracy theories for financial dip****s packaged in XTREME 90's edgelordism seems like a fairly unique grift.
  14. PK htiw klaw eriF
    Blade Runner isn't a slice of life? Who among us hasn't seen a guy die on a rooftop after lamenting the things he's seen disappearing?
  15. PK htiw klaw eriF
    I guess cancelation will be the only salvation. That or...
  16. PK htiw klaw eriF
    Should have pulled yourself up by the bootstraps and erased time. Maybe it will drive him insane and bring forth the anti-universe? That's probably healthier than the imaginary Star Trek.
  17. PK htiw klaw eriF
    What a coincidence. I think both Alien and Magnetic Rose are essentially haunted house in space. They're different in many ways, obviously, but that's the commonality I thought of when watching it. And it fits very well, you have a crew that stumbles into a derelict structure and encounters...something. I do like the whole dark/moody/oppressive sci-fi, especially horror sci-fi, but I also prefer stuff that is absurdist or just plain ****ing weird. Frankly too much sci-fi, particularly near future stuff, never gets as weird or dumb as real life.
  18. PK htiw klaw eriF
    Well I feel slightly better about not searching now. I don't say this lightly, but Magnetic Rose is probably the closest thing to recreating the sci-fi horror of Alien. It's very well layered and ends on the perfect note. It very much creeped me out, I'm going to try and find the rest of Memories. I've been watching a ton of anime and will be trying to get my film backlog cut down, so for the near future I'm going to be mostly watching movies for anime.
  19. PK htiw klaw eriF
    That's what I get for not using the search function lmao.
  20. PK htiw klaw eriF
    Finished GioGio Golden Wind. ****ing great. Also watched Magnetic Rose, a short film part of Memories (1995). Pretty much a space ghost story, very good one and done that makes good use of every minute. @Bartimaeus will probably like it.

    Well, in part 2 of JoJo an expert in hamon (basically a magic martial art thing that exploded vampires) lived there, so maybe not from 1920-1940 or so. But Venezia would be a cool place to live regardless. Unless you were something damaged by water, like the God emperor worm in Dune. But that would be something ****ty to be anyway, what kind of **** wants to turn into a worm?
  22. PK htiw klaw eriF
    Rona watch: Golden Wind. The gang gets to Venezia, leaves Venezia, gets attacked on a plane (basically every kind of transportation has been attacked this season), gets attacked on Sardinia, then heads fo Rome and gets attacked there. Polnareff also returns. I am loving it.
  23. PK htiw klaw eriF
    I think I'm through the worst of the rona, but the temperature dropped hard so I'm a bit clogged up. Boy am I happy it didn't get too bad.
  24. PK htiw klaw eriF
    If you have to ask, the answer is probably not what you want to hear. So I guess this is the best place to ask as any, but is there a German word for "Disappointed but not Surprised"? Because that's the general feeling everytime I hear some bull**** like "virtuesignomics". By some miracle I have avoided hearing any political rants when waiting in line at the grocery store. Maybe I've unknowingly mastered the art of minding my own business that I instinctively tune out such nonsense. Lord knows that there are plenty of folks around here who think that any inconveniences to them are a plot by Sleepy Joe to destroy western civilization with virtuesignomics or some other ridiculous fantasy.

    Ok, there's a lot here I'd like to respond to but I'm at the rona stage where I'm having trouble focusing. Plus I'm on my phone. Maybe I'll try later. Anyways, I've never had to wear glasses before but might soon. I recently failed a vision test because my left eye is blurry. I wonder if it's maybe due to the rona, because I did not even notice an issue before I took the test. Of course it could be an ongoing thing, but who usually walks around testing their eyes individually? Still, I hope I don't cone across as one of those geek chic folks. I'll try! Anyways....I watched a ton of GioGio’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind. The gang goes to Capri then ends on on a road trip to Venezia where they crash several vehicles on the way, because even when JoJo is also DIO taking transportation ends badly. This is just great. Golden Wind represents the fall of gym gods and the rise of the twink in Araki's art style, but what really stands out is the use of eye popping color palates. The stands manage to take the urgency of Stardust Crusaders and merge it with the insanity of Diamond is Unbreakable for a ride that feels fast paced and high stakes while also very ****ing weird. There's been a couple scenes that could fall under fan service, but it feels more like Polnareff's buffonery than that.
