A very unfortunate turn of events. His optimism and determination is admirable but I just hope he gets as much quality time with his family as he can right now. :(

Yeah.. maybe a miracle will happen but this does look like the end stage...

All I know about Berserk is that at some point a horse rapes a woman, graphically on panel, at some point and it makes me hesitant to check it out.

That doesn't happen, though. A lot of worse things happen before and after that, but its still one of my favorite mangas.

I love how people here are praising Hideo Kojima as progressive and good when MGS4 had a button for molesting people , PW had most of the cast creeping on someone they thought was underage and 5 has you recruit a loving slave legion by kidnapping them and sending them across the ocean to be brain washed

Kojima makes rad games is what I'm getting from this

I like Dark Souls 1 the most because everything feels weighty and moving around like a sack of boulders makes it feel like I imagine walking around in heavy plate while carrying a huge hunk of steel around would.

Ds2 and 3 are lesser games by speeding it up.

I feel like Verhoeven's aesthetic has a kind of sympathy to fascism, even if he tries to play it cool like he's all the way into ironic distance. I don't think he's bad necessarily, but the purity of the volk as defended by the muscly army dudes against the roiling impure bug people has appeared more than once in the guy's movies.

Thats my favorite part of Showgirls.

Having a show being just black and white good vs evil kinda thing is okay for me. Sometimes you just want to enjoy something simplistic as a way to relax. Like video games or anime.

Also since anime is on the brain, Legend of Galactic Heroes still owns and I have no idea how a 110 episode slow burn space epic got made, but thank God it did.

If t.a.t.u. almost had an anime, i cant see why S Club 7 shouldnt have one too.

And then tackled the recovery/relapse cycle in real time with Rebuild as Anno went "I'm gonna do Evangelion right this time!" followed by "gently caress no, I'm not!" as he broke down all over again :v:

Rebuilds seemed to me more like a mix of a pure cash grab and Anno making fun of the "y wont shinji man" and other Eva fans than Anno falling into a depression again.

And man, I'd rather someone got the rights to the blu ray releases for Eva instead. If you're going to pay the absurd price to license Eva, might as well go all the way.

Here’s the secret to EVA: Both endings are Good Endings, with one just being more harsh but bittersweet. The gently caress You ending that people think exists doesn’t actually exist.

The secret of Eva is that Asuka is best girl.

I mean, on one hand the shouty YouTubers are typically pretty lock step with the opinions of the IGNs, and on the same hand shouty YouTubers form literally an unbroken gradient from nice dudes who use shouty as a brand all the way to the anti-SJW Kekistan crowd.

The algorithm certainly doesn't care, and will make nice short hops from Angry Joe to Your Movie Sucks to Sargon.

So, yeah, I think "I'm going to use unhinged anger as my brand" is worth interrogating.

Sounds more like a thing with the algorithm than with the anger gimmick...

On a somewhat related note, someone successfully doxxing Jim/metouker would be a pretty ok blow against the neet-to-nazi internet pipeline. For as absolutely marginal as he is within the larger extremist ecosystem, he plays a sargon-like role in transitioning cruel kids from trolls and harassers into fascists. Part of it is that he flies farther below the radar, but he’s never really lost a horde of trolls ready to hound people for years.

He was successfully doxxed tho. The fact you didnt hear about it shows you just how much of an impact that had.
