Happy birthday! 🎉

I thought MysteryGeek was exaggerating but oml that was bad

Read your Neon Genesis Evangelion and Legend of the Galactic Heroes reviews.

NEVER COOK AGAIN AND GIVE UP ON INTERNET, GO TO MOUNTAINS AND LIVE LIKE A SAGE THERE.

what do you think about the new Nanoha project that has been announced recently

shit taste

can you share your own perspectives about what makes Nanoha, Fate, Hayate interesting

Yeah that workplace had a lot of people with weird attitudes toward poverty and crime. I remember another guy saying that he thought the punishment for stealing should still be chopping off the offender's hands. This guy's own niece was homeless and he kept complaining about there being a homeless encampment in town. The incident where my two coworkers agreed homeless people should be gunned down had a pretty big impact on me because it seemed to me like they were fairly normal people before then, I would sit with them at lunch and could talk to them, which is unusual because I normally struggle a lot with forming any kind of worthwhile relationship with coworkers. I couldn't tell if it was more that they were psychopathic or just that the culture I live in is so fucked it trains people to think that way. I do think one of them was sincere and the other was more just trying to suck up to the highest-ranking guy in the room. I ended up quitting that job like two days later and came relatively close to joining Canada's growing homeless population myself. Yeah that makes a lot of sense that which parts of the Bible a believer would focus on would largely come from their own personality. It can be hard to avoid just looking for confirmation of your own pre-existing prejudices for people of all beliefs. Besides nepotism, I think the big logical problem with the mythology in Rand's work is that it vastly underestimates how collaborative every human endeavour is. Capitalist big wigs WANT people to believe that they are Galt-like figures and their companies and products are dreamed up from the ground exclusively by them, but the reality we get is usually more like Thomas Edison pretty much stealing patents from his employees or even just Spotify paying the actual artists behind the music they stream a miniscule percentage of the profit they bring in. Yeah Ben Shapiro is a brainlet, he just sleepwalks through the same idiotic talking points he heard from other people. There was a period of my life where I actually unironically listened to him and some of his homies like Jordan Peterson which will probably always remain one of the bigger embarrassments of my life.

Now that you mention it, there really has been a distinct void in good Pokemon TCG video games which is definitely something that one would expect to have a solid market, I mean there were loads of Yu-Gi-Oh games back in the Game Boy and DS eras and also so many Pokemon spinoffs that seem less financially solid than a TCG one. It would've inevitably switched over to a live-service online app for playing the TCG eventually as with Yu-Gi-Oh but The Pokemon Company has noticeably failed to a deliver a decent version of that for fans either. Yeah I'm not sure why Nintendo is going with this really staggered release schedule for their retro games on the Switch, maybe they're thinking that they need new releases coming onto it consistently so people stay subscribed but idk if that holds up, I feel like it has value just to maintain access to a big collection of good retro games and most people probably always have some more they'd like to try. I also wish they would let you buy the games individually so you could have them without needing the online but yeah, Nintendo just really likes to make things difficult for their customers I guess. Game Boy/Game Boy Colour carts have a really short battery life for the save functions, it was probably their biggest shortcoming and the Advance mostly fixed it with carts still being able to save though time-based events in games like Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire don't tend to work any more and the store here can't replace those batteries. It doesn't bother me much because it's not that obtrusive on the games but it does end up making getting a Milotic even more annoying.

I think the main criticism I've heard of the Gen 6 games, specifically X/Y, is that they just throw a lot of free stuff at you until it makes the campaign feel kind of trivial. It was the one that reworked EXP Share until it was completely overpowered right? I tend to regard this type of thing as one of the least important flaws in game design since a player can just choose not to use the more unbalanced stuff the game gives them. The rivals being your childhood friends does seem like the kind of potentially interesting idea that a Pokemon game just wouldn't really have the character writing chops to fully explore. Without knowing what it's like in game, flying battles sounds like something that could be either really cool or just a complete window dressing on a normal battle. Oh yeah I hadn't really thought about how a monotype run would interact with that whole base mechanic where you have to use the auto battle. I always just picked a couple of Pokemon that had a type advantage and rolled through those things, did you have to keep going back to the vending machines for the fire base? O yeah Ice is generally considered a terrible type, I always associate it with great Pokemon like Lapras and Cloyster or just think about using Ice Beam as a fantastic coverage move on water types but defensively it's so bad, I can see that being hard with a lot of bad matchups throughout the game.

Yeah it's hard to think of a way to really expand those two stories in Gen 9 without massively reworking the game since your character arrives after they have already taken place. Supplementary material could definitely be a worthwhile way to do it though I agree that would end up being separate from the games themselves. Oh that's interesting, buying the games purely as a utility to transfer to Gen 6, I hope you got a decent price for them. Those games are insanely expensive right now, like into the hundreds of dollars for just the cart. I never had B/W 2 either but I am a little curious to try them since the aversion to Gen 5 Pokemon isn't as game-ruining for me.

Star Trek and X-Men are definitely woke right down to the core. Starfield had that too with that one man on Youtube who famously freaked out over the game having a pronoun selector during character creation. That is probably even sillier because Starfield is a Bethesda game and therefore too safe and bland creatively to really be woke while from my understanding BG3 does have some other stuff that could be read as woke - I know gay people exist in the game which is already too woke for some people. The anti-woke Steam curator even had the gall to call Hypnospace Outlaw "woke" for including "anti free-speech messaging" while simultaneously being a list of games that violate the type of speech the creators want to exist. Laughable as it seems and obviously driven by online content farming and brainrot as it is, this type of thing is the subject of a major woke vs. reactionary "culture war" in the US, with for example mass requests for schools and libraries to pull books from their shelves for including "controversial" subjects like having a gay person in the book. With the Republicans having won basically every branch of government in the election last week we may even a big increase in legislation to this effect. Yeah I see what you mean about how some parents don't really love their kids so much as they like a version of their kids that only exists in their head and is under their control. It probably comes from some form of narcissitic personality trait. My mother is actually kind of like that though she applies it with even more superficial things than sexual orientation such as preferred hobbies. Yeah Amphibia had good characterization all around. I did feel like Marcy, Sasha and Grime were a little more fascinating but Anne and Sprigg brought a lot of the heart that made the series work. And yeah the overarching narrative is a big part of why both shows work, I think the way Gravity Falls managed to seed hints toward its central mysteries throughout so many episodes was one of its best traits. In the excessively long time since my last message (I've been having a hard time behaving like a functional human being this year...) I have started watching Owl House, I think the last episode I watched was 13. I'm not as hooked by it as I was by Amphibia so far but I do like how it makes the viewer continually reconsider their perspective on characters like Amity. So with having enjoyed all 3 of Gravity Falls, Amphibia, and Owl House, have you watched any of the other popular modern cartoons such as Infinity Train?

Ooh, how was Princess Peach Showtime? I thought that one looked pretty promising when they revealed it but haven't gotten around to trying it yet. You can't go too wrong with Unicorn Overlord though it probably won't blow your mind, and I think people who played the first Dragon's Dogma generally liked the second. I think the only other 2024 game I rounded out the year with was The Plucky Squire which I enjoyed for the art style and creativity though I was disappointed by the game design. I want to play Zelda Echoes and a few others but most of my disposable income has been going toward overpriced retro games at my local game shop like Breath of Fire IV and Vagrant's Story that I've wanted for years but never been able to get my hands on.
