At the end of the day I don't mind poisonous bad characters like the Joker, Rorschach or whatever nor the sadbrains who idolize them. I just wish they didn't take up so much loving screentime.

The trouble with that was that a lot of Watchmen follows Rorschach's investigation, sorta by necessity, so...yea, it means you see/hear a lot of the dingus. In terms of which hosed up individual got just the right amount/balance of exposure, I'd deffo have to say the Comedian since him being already dead and all, you get these snippets of him, each with substance, and it never gets overbearing though obviously shows off just what sort of insane gently caress he was. Some might say Veidt, but lmao - only a goon could like the exposure of him, since there's little of him until the very end, where he's just 110% :spergin:

All of them want a woman who functions both as a sexual partner and as a replacement for their mom. You see the same thing with techbros and all the idiotic startup companies whose selling point boils down to "this service means you don't have to worry about this minor simple thing you didn't have to worry about as a kid because your mom took care of it."

Well, I think we have a culture that has implied technology should do these things because people are "too good" or "too important" to be doing these menial tasks themselves. Well, no one's too good to run a laundry machine and most of the little tech gimmicks don't really work and aren't worth implementing, but still people will readily shift the responsibility for doing these things onto others. It's not always men expecting women to do chores; I think the phenomenon is bigger than that, though that's a very conspicuous dimension of it. I have met both men and women who are unbelievably lazy and stubborn about not doing x/y/z even though those are completely normal things that normal people have to do.

I agree with this general sentiment. I don't think it's 100% laziness, but the relentless search for tech based optimizations often attempts to implement ill functioning solutions that ultimately take more time to create than time they save. their only value is that they show us what doesn't work.

I'm saying that as someone in software development so I'm basically negging the field. hope an hb9 company spreads its legs for me now, employment wise

Men are too good to have to be polite/tip/do chores/bathe compared to women is a guiding principle of all MRA/PUA/etc. type folks. Obviously there are lazy people in all genders but I think it's fair to say it's a taught mindset for a lot of men. Even technology advertised to women is often advertised around "at last, you'll have more free time to look hot for your man and cook food for him just like you should be doing." even today. A lot of those developments happen because of the mindset that *men* are too important for this.

Well yeah, for sure. I just mean that I think this problem is bigger than mothers coddling their sons. I think it's that "and when your mother isn't there, someone else should coddle you" is an underlying message in advertisement/marketing, and when the product can't do this service (or the guy can't afford it) that attitude remains. The best way to sell a product or service is to convince someone that they "deserve" it, and drat the consequences of that kind of messaging!

It's because she hears the massive farts and creaking as the toilet strains under the onslaught.

You walk by and all she can think is "what the gently caress is coming out of there?"

okay good

because i really like making fun of it because it has so many good ideas in it mired in one of the most boring combat slogs ever and a rushjob third act and it makes me very mad that all that potential got thrown away and we probably won't get another attempt at a tight focus game like that for a while :argh:

those arguments are completely legitimate, but i fear that if the game had more development time, they'd have cleaned up the writing too much and we wouldn't have gotten Dork City & Pals

that said, it did need way more real content. and the dlc wasn't intended for the kind of people who were actually still playing da2 at that point.
