In the last version of this thread (I think) I posted a video I made about Diaclone, a transformers-related brand of Japanese robot toys. I've now made my second video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZyUpWBDQw0

I think that's the eternal problem with mysteries - the deeper the mystery hole the writers put the show in, the harder it is to climb out.

JJ Abrams just took the Ponzi scheme ethos to paying off mysteries - answer each mystery with two more and you never have to solve anything until your audience calls bullshit and it all collapses.

If you write a mystery without knowing the solution first you are a clown IMO.

I started the space train one recently and honestly the writing is genuinely charming and interesting in the side content and setting writing. Some actual laughs as well.

The main quest writing is just kind of existing which sucks because there's a lot of potential that the side quests barely dig into.

Spent 0 dollars on it tho. Just pull better.

I'm playing granblue and i like the main plot but early on it's very obvious they felt they had to have a fight after every story segment cause a lot of scenes end with "I'll tell you after we defeat these monsters!" and then the next scene picks up as though nothing happened. They stop that after not too long though, thankfully.

No, and in fact this is the first time in my entire life I’ve ever heard of this game. I’m convinced that new dramas sometimes retroactively appear within the timeline just to baffle me.

Eizouken is an anime, not a game, which may be why you've not heard of it.

Punchy discusses a delightfully silly Dreamcast horror game with some absolutely bizarre design decisions like a puzzle that's entirely just "wait around while an offscreen character solves the puzzle for you". It's unreal how many silly horror games were on the Dreamcast, I'd never even heard of this one! I need to check if Punchy's other videos are as fun as this.

They thought Chris Chibnall was ready to make that Christmas special and he was like at the very last moment "no I'm not ready I need a whole other year". He started making the show significantly worse before he even took over. The result is a totally unnecessary coda to a character arc that came to an excellent conclusion in the prior story.

Sometimes when a creative team makes a completely baffling stupid unjustifiable decision you have to look at the circumstances and say "actually it's pretty unlikely that talented professional people completely shat the bed in a totally avoidable way because of their own stupid unthinkable incompetence. Maybe there were some factors here that were outside their control."

Sure but if the end result is poo poo it's still poo poo. If I think a tv show is bad that isn't some kind of indictment of the people who made it. They may have been the most talented people in the world who got given a poo poo hand, or they may have been incompetent buffoons, but the actual product is bad regardless, and that is what I am judging.

This is probably a 'I don't know how to teach you emotions' moment but I don't know how people can be a fan of comic books, have like one to three dozen examples of weird comic book stories they can pull out at the drop of a hat like this and still be mad at this situation. It'll turn out that the last Batman was an evil clone, or a robot or from an alternate universe or something. It's Batman, there's not going to be a last story and even with Star Wars putting in Rise of Skywalker info into Fortnite, that's still not the way that they'd go about distributing the info!

That's like if Nintendo decided to announce they're no longer making any more Mario games by putting the messages on the bottom of ramen bowls in locally owned restaurants on the outskirts of Kyoto!

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding you here, but it sounds like you think people are saying this is the death of the character of Batman altogether? This isn't what anyone believes.

Thanks to the GBS scary youtube video thread (where I side eye half of the posts that go "oh NEXPO is SO GOOD") I've binged through the Q Fake Documentary channel's stuff, a channel that makes their own found footage stuff. It's generally hit or miss for me, since some of them are very much "is there something spooky or weird? We'll never know!"

Basement is imo one of its better ones

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Aiv7L34WcQ

Film Inferno has a "we'll never know!" quality but I enjoy the worst beach cave of Japan

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpPbLqadKTU

incidentally, if you're interested in old Japanese horror films and games: Sweet Home, the movie adaptation of the pre-Resident Evil survival horror game on the NES was given a remaster and put up on Youtube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Akh3_JGlkvA

i haven't caught up on Q but in general I think they got better as they went along. A lot of the early episodes are just pretty standard horror stories without any interesting spin. The first episode is especially bad about it cause they mention Ringu in the episode and then don't have any kind of twist to the video tape that kills you.

The original Pokemon designs that are universally beloved and held up by boomers as the good, pure designs before they were ruined by sandcastles and keys were like... here's a rat. Here's a pigeon. Here's a group of sentient eggs.

Pearl clutching over the later designs somehow being less imaginative is hilarious.

Normal has always been the most boring pokemon type. The others are like "here's a dog except it's on fire" while normal is "here's a dog except it's a dog."

the intersection between art and politics is nearly impossible to talk about sensibly online but it goes back a long time lol.

ive been on classical music boards and you do not know how often people who talk about not liking music made after the 1920s or so quickly pivot into "degenerate culture" talking points

That's kind of inevitable I think. If you choose a specific time after which new music (or film or literature etc) is not worth listening to you are implicitly saying culture has declined.
