Uggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh but then hollly shitake mushrooms the stinger at the end of the episode what even the fuck is going onnnnnnnn  --- |
| Topic | This is quite the comic strip. |
| AlisLandale 05/24/21 5:33:05 AM #22 | Seems a bit silly to make the man the straw man in this scenario. Itd be like making fun of a woman by saying she cant buy a razor or a bic pen unless its painted pink. Fucking corporate bean counters. >_> --- |

| AlisLandale 05/24/21 5:29:57 AM #17 | VioletMassacre posted... Not For Trade. Is that really what it means? I remember seeing a lot of Not For Resale cartridges of Sonic 2 at used game stores when I was growing up. A lot of good that line does >_> --- |
| Topic | Isekai were a mistake |
| AlisLandale 05/24/21 5:29:05 AM #18 | Digimon exists so isekai did at least one good thing. I mean, theres also Rayearth, Escaflowne, etc etc ...but then theres Sonic X. Hmmm --- |

| Topic | Someone explain NFT like I'm 5. >_> |
| AlisLandale 05/24/21 12:50:26 AM #1 | I get that it uses crypto tech to make unique and scarce digital items. but heres where intuition fails me. if theres an NFT of a picture, whats stopping someone of just copying the image file and distributing it outside the NFT infrastructure? or like that Charlie Bit My Finger thing. What stops the winning bidder from just...re-uploading the video after they buy it? >_> --- |

| AlisLandale 05/24/21 12:18:04 AM #26 | Find an unoccupied house and just move in all sneaky sneak. Stay there long enough for local squatting laws to protect you. Free housing for the win. --- |
| Topic | Demon Slayer outsells all American comics |
| AlisLandale 05/23/21 11:55:33 PM #7 | Questionmarktarius posted... I know where his is going, but no. It's something else entirely. Tbh I dont think its just the recurring villains. I think its that the comics are actively hostile towards any and all long-term change. Relative to the amount of progression, only a handful of major evolutions have survived. Spider-Man has been magically divorced for longer than he was married. Almost DC legacy mantle has been reverted to the original owner, with more interesting successors relegated to minor or supporting roles. Character development frequently reset. Character assassination rampant to facilitate hero vs hero events that boost short term sales but kill long-term enthusiasm. Entire supporting casts vanish after writers change. Like honestly? Superman shouldve stayed dead in the 90s. Let Connor take over as Superman. You have an interesting dynamic of someone who is literally Superman on the biological level still finds himself not living up to his predecessor, while the memory of the universes greatest hero looms over the continuity for years. Instead they just bring back Clark, and everything goes back to the way it was. >_> --- |
| Topic | Demon Slayer outsells all American comics |
| AlisLandale 05/23/21 11:42:38 PM #3 | American comics are absolutely shit value 99% of the time. You get the same amount of story with a volume of manga for 8 dollars that a TPB gives you for twice that. Not to mention following the stories live. 4-5 bucks for 18-23 pages of story, once, maybe twice a month. --- |
| Topic | Disney thinking about buying DC Comics |
| AlisLandale 05/23/21 11:18:56 PM #9 | I dont think WB is going to sell DC anytime soon lol. Like its more than just movies. The merchandising for Batman alone is enough for them to hold onto them. --- |
| Topic | Should vasectomies be mandatory? |
| AlisLandale 05/23/21 11:14:55 PM #9 | I mean, the pro-life argument is that youre killing a person. this witticism isnt going to sway anyone who believes human life begins when the sperm touches the egg. >_> --- |

| Topic | Kids shows create more hateable villains than adult shows imo. |
| AlisLandale 05/23/21 10:55:29 PM #35 | tremain07 posted... I always thought out of how bullshit it was that the villains only need to win once while the hero had to keep winning, it makes the conflict boring because if the hero loses even once they're as good as dead however if they keep winning then the threat of the villain goes down the drain yet if they win then the hero dies so how's this conflict gonna last so many episodes before one of them finally wins the contest? the trick is to give villains objectives that dont immediately result in their ultimate goal. you see it a lot in shows like Xiaolin Showdown, or Jackie Chan Adventures, where the conflict is collecting a certain amount of macguffins, since the villain winning can actually lead to more interesting conflict in the future. --- |
| Topic | Kids shows create more hateable villains than adult shows imo. |
| AlisLandale 05/23/21 10:31:53 PM #28 | But I think you can add complexity to pure evil characters. That Hitler movie, Downfall, never made Hitler feel sympathetic, but it did add intriguing layers of depth to his evil that most movies with Hitler tend to ignore. Not that the depth made the evil excusable, but that it made the evil more interesting for a movie. That everyone leave the room scene that became a meme was a legit good scene --- |

| AlisLandale 05/23/21 10:28:23 PM #24 | Jiek_Fafn posted... Meanwhile kids strangely enough can separate fiction from reality better in regards to this. Someone, i think it might have been Neil Gaiman, maybe Grant Morrison, made a funny observation about super heroes. adult fans tend to scrutinize things like how does Superman fly or whatever, and kids are always quick to answer such questions with because its not real lol --- |

| AlisLandale 05/23/21 10:13:21 PM #16 | Conception616 posted... Bad guys are meant to be the foil to the good guys, and usually end up being "cooler," even as a young mark, I rooted for many wrestling heels. As an adult, I never once rooted for Gus Fring. for me it was more that the villains pretty much never get any wins. Its like, why am I even rooting for the heroes when they always win anyway? There were never any stakes. >_> but the egg snatchers was probably Trix Rabbit syndrome. All they wanted was some fucking food. Its not their fault they were born as egg-eating dinosaurs <_< --- |

| AlisLandale 05/23/21 8:32:30 AM #10 | I guess Im weird. as a kid I rooted for Dick Dastardly, Team Rocket, hell, I even kind of felt bad for the egg snatchers in land before time 2 lol --- |

| AlisLandale 05/23/21 5:56:26 AM #19 | To be fair, her collection is based on the appraisal of a dumbass seagull. If he told her what any of that shit actually was shed be thanking her dad for cleaning up all that garbage. --- |

| Topic | How believable is Adam and Eve's story? |
| AlisLandale 05/22/21 7:25:07 PM #92 | Prestoff posted... Noah would have been one hell of an engineer lol. so fun trivia. Growing up in a Christian school (protip: dont send your kids to Christian school.), the explanation I remember for this was that there was a firmament of water surrounding the earth that created a greenhouse/tropical climate. the flood was caused, according to theory, by the firmament coming down onto the earth. With no more water bubble surrounding the planet, the climate rapidly changed. so the explanation was that Noah did save dinosaurs, but then they all died from rapid climate change lol (No, I dont recall their stance on the K-T or any other extinction events on the biblical timeline lol.) As for Noah being an engineer. God did give specifications for the ark. But Noah was also like, 500 years old when he had children. Surely he had the time to learn a few trades >_> --- |

| AlisLandale 05/22/21 7:02:33 PM #86 | Prestoff posted... Ill give it to adam and eve because at least metaphorically it can make more sense than noahs ark. to be fair, if were discussing Noahs Ark, were talking under the presumption that an all-powerful God exists. surely He couldve worked something out. >_> --- |

| AlisLandale 05/22/21 6:55:29 PM #78 | Jabodie posted... I've read interpretations that Adam and Eve were the first God created from dust, but not the only ones. Idk if that is actually congruent with the a Bible story. After God punished Cain for killing Abel, Cain was worried that whoever found him would kill him. So somehow other humans got there. >_> --- |

| AlisLandale 05/22/21 7:19:15 AM #63 | joe40001 posted... No, I demonstrated the point that some people will assess the truth/offensiveness of a statement primarily based on their opinion of the person they think the quote is from and not based on the statement's actual truth or offensiveness. you cannot remove a statements truth from the context and motivation of the person saying it. Heres an extreme example, for illustrative purposes. Elementary School teacher: I love children aw thats so sweet. Pedophile: I love children frantically dialing 911 --- |

You wouldnt play Final Fantasy 7 and ignore the materia, right? >_> also when you get a mission to a planet called virmire, save it for last. Just trust me on this. --- |
