Kgb wasn't comprised of ex felon, mostly of future felons

[tidal shore]

yea i guess there are a few differences

[high storm]

Just a bad comparison really

They are more akin to actual irl PMCs

[tidal shore]

kgb wasn't exactly secret tho, while each individual's identity wasn't known, people were aware of the organisation's existence

in dungeon meshi case tho

[high storm]

Everyone knows about canaries

They explicitly warn Laios to be worry of them

And not trust em

[tidal shore]

||them having the queen's backing directly gave the canaries more power, even when outside of the queen's territory||

so it makes sense

[high storm]

Bunch of queen's lap dogs doing her bidding

Not good guys

But one could argue that in manga our main crew are like REALLY bad people

From outside POV that is

[tidal shore]

ok yea now that I think about it, the roles are different so yeah, bad comparison

[tidal shore]

is it about using outlawed magic?

[high storm]

Also, you know, they kinda rely on Kabru's opinion of Laios

[tidal shore]

or is it about how they stole gold and food once

[high storm]

In view of canaries they came there to ||stop a human hating maniac (Laios) from unleashing monster hell on people||, also ||to stop dark elf (Marcille) with her illegal bs|| and ||to stop a demon from escaping the dungeon WHICH LITERALLY SPELLS END OF THE WORLD||

Pretty damn justified if you ask me

[tidal shore]

hold on, since when is Laios ||human hating||? Afaik ||Kabru has not formed a full opinion of him at that point, he merely stated that Laios is interested in monsters, no?||

[high storm]

Because Laios is objectively weird and canaries taking Kabru's first impression as gospel

[tidal shore]

also, had they (||the canaries||) gone about it peacefully, everything would be resolved like 20 chapters earlier

[high storm]

Well if Mr. Dark mage complied that is

Also main point of rescuing Falin would fail if canaries did their job lol

[tidal shore]

which is why I said peacefully, the canaries could fill in Laios's party on what knowledge they're missing, and then they'd willingly cooperate if rescuing Falin would've been guaranteed

[high storm]

Canaries have legit 0 reasons to help main party though

They will literally just arrest Marcille

[tidal shore]

yeah they aren't good natured people so I doubt it would happen, but if they were, it could

oh yeah, elves are assholes so not like it's possible anyway

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[high storm]

That's a bit of a silly hypothetical because they had solid laid out objectives
||A) arrest Marcille
B) prevent new possible dungeon master from doing crazy shit
C) contain that lion||

They even had the magic to make people not be able to lie I don't think there is much wiggle room

[tidal shore]

and they fcked it all up in the end by being stupid dumb stupid, no?

had to get saved by Laios and co

[high storm]

It's just demon outsmarting them tbh

He just rushed to his objective and gaslight ||Marcille enough to help him not on purpose||

[tidal shore]

well, they just can't read people at all, it makes sense that if you push others into a corner they will resort to something drastic

all went to shit the moment ||they decided to attack the party||

demon took advantage of that

they (the canaries) let him have that advantage in the first place tho

[high storm]

||Marcille is a literal felon assisted by world ending demon, what you wanted them to do?||

[tidal shore]

||she hadn't even become a dungeon master when they got to her, it's only after they pushed her to resort to drastic measures via idkk attempting to murder them all?||
||can't dispute the felon part tbh, but she's good natured enough that you can reason with her, unlike Thistle||

[high storm]

||And canaries were just supposed to believe that "Hey this monster eating, dark magic using, law breaking, half blooded elf is actually chill af"||

That would be making huge assumptions and is incredible unreasonable since even before that the main squad was ||gaslit into helping lion demon even if they knew his true nature or not||

[tidal shore]

can summarise this to ||prejudice, xenophobia, lack of knowledge||, her only crime is using dark magic to resurrect

elf racism let's go

[high storm]

"Oh she is perfectly reasonable except the part where she made her friend into a living abomination and used forbidden powers to do so"

[tidal shore]

well actually

[high storm]

Do you see how that is a very flawed argument?

[tidal shore]

she didn't make a chimera tho

thistle did

[high storm]

||Falin becoming one is still only Marcille's fault for using fucked up magic and dragon meat||

[tidal shore]

yeah should've gone with the goat meat tbh

[high storm]

Well, un-ironically yeah

If they did that the whole debacle would be much easier to deal with

[tidal shore]

all that said though, ||the canaries had the numbers advantage, they did not need to threaten Marcille and allow the demon to exploit her, they also could've used that illusion magic to only tell the truth||

but I guess a story can't exist if characters don't make mistakes

[high storm]

||Well that's a bit of a fuck up on their part, who knew Marcille would go fucking bonkers||

||The teleport dude could defeat her with perfect easily if party didn't literally release the demon previously||

[tidal shore]

yeah who knew ||being hunted by 7 ex felons on the orders of the elf queen would make someone go fucking bonkers, right?||

[high storm]

They just asked to give them the books of lion and essentially give up and go serve sentence in jail

[tidal shore]

yeah

they also asked them to give up on Faril

their whole goal

[high storm]

What else do you propose to someone you've been told to apprehend?

[high storm]

As if canaries knew anything about her

[tidal shore]

yeah cuz they didn't care

[high storm]

Well nobody told them the goal of main party

Kabru just got a convo or two with his impression of Laios being a total fucking freak lol

[tidal shore]

typical military thinking tho, go in, do the job, go out, no questions asked

[tidal shore]

as you've stated there, they had no reason to care either

[high storm]

If anything they were perfectly reasonable even if in their own agenda reasons and main characters are victims of circumstances

Manga Mogura RE (Manga & Anime News) (@MangaMoguraRE) on X

The One Piece anime remake was created to attract people hesitant to get into the series because of the old 4:3 aspect ratio of early episodes & the high episode count. According to WIT Studio president George Wada, the remake will help spread OP globally

https://t.co/nKGTZJ6GZP

Twitter · Jul 2, 2024, 6:44 AM

if they're saying they do this to solve the episode count issue i assume this means they're adapting the full story

[tidal shore]

I hope the remake will have a pacing higher than 0.7 chapters per episode

[edgy bone]

i trust wit

they have a knack for taking meh source material and making it crazy visually appealing

[tidal shore]

yeah I wouldn't call the first 50 chapters of so of One Piece to be peak

after the initial party is formed though (luffy, zoro, nami) the story pulled me in

damn

now I'm craving a real adventure fantasy

[edgy bone]

ive liked it since the beginning but i love oldschool shonen tropes

[edgy bone]

have you seen ranking of kings

it scratched a similar itch for me

[tidal shore]

yea I think I watched it all except for the last episode or two

[edgy bone]

hmm

[tidal shore]

it's not that I got bored, I just never went back to finish it

solid anime tho

I need something on the level of LotR

[edgy bone]

it's not action and it's p slow paced but maybe kinos journey?

[tidal shore]

nothing beats LotR tho

[tidal shore]

mildly amusing, wasn't really a big fan at the time though, might give it another chance however

[edgy bone]

i wasn't super into it either but i like the concept

idk I havent really found many stories that do the adventure aspect as well as one piece does

[high storm]

That's a curious comparison

[edgy bone]

why so

literally when i finished it i went to a friend and said this felt very one piece-y

[high storm]

Dunno I just never heard of One piece and ranking of kings in one conversation

[edgy bone]

moreso early one piece but still

[tidal shore]

nahh it really didn't

[edgy bone]

heartfelt emotional story that starts of really stereotipically kiddy until you learn theres more under the surface + a bunch of bigger worldbuilding and sideplot teases throughout everything

it's basically the same stuff i like about one piece

also the way they did plot twists felt really similar

[tidal shore]

actually maybe it did

[rancid ledge]

question, do you like demons in anime?

like the mc having demon powers?

[high storm]

Depends, it varies

[edgy bone]

what qualifies as demon powers

i feel like with the right visuals and explanation everything can be handwaved away as being demonic

[high storm]

Yes it's too vague of a question

[rancid ledge]

like asta for example

[edgy bone]

so you mean like

borrowed power?

[rancid ledge]

yeah one of those characters that have inner demons

[edgy bone]

humu humu

i dont really mind it but im a naruto stan

or well

it does slightly annoy me when it happens late game

i have a thing with shonens where part of the appeal is seeing the underdog climb up the power ladder through their own hard work

so borrowed power kinda conflicts with that a bit since it's external help

but it'f like a premise thing then sure i can roll with it

[rancid ledge]

wait do all demon characters just have "borrowed" power??

[edgy bone]

again

define what you mean by demon character

i asked if you meant borrowed power earlier and you said yes

[rancid ledge]

characters that have demon abilities, half demons or characters that can go into demon form

[edgy bone]

what counts as a demon ability

i didnt even realise justice is only 4 members

weird

[high storm]

Like Naruto?

Like Yuji?

It's an alright trope I guess nothing wrong with it if done well

[rancid ledge]

Oh

I thought narutos and yujis are cool

well yuji just ate a finger

[high storm]

I didn't say they were bad they are quite fine actually

I just can't think of other examples

[high storm]

After googling the trope I see Kaneki and Akira pop out here and there (Which are goated) so I guess trope is pretty good

[rancid ledge]

Yes Kaneki and Akira, what are those tropes called??

[high storm]

Haven't watched Bleach/Blue exorcist/Black clover so dunno about those

[high storm]

"inner demon"

[rancid ledge]

oh, then borrowed power is naruto and yuji

[high storm]

Yeah Kurama is a dope ass character and Sukuna is

Uuuuh

Yeah I don't like him

Kurama is cool though many awesome scenes caused by him

[rancid ledge]

sukuna is a grandpa thats all im sayin

bros got arms like the ashura

[high storm]

I don't narrative he is in, his motivation is okay and power is pretty cool

[mighty cape]

Remember Madoka Magica?

[edgy bone]

oh wow

if you delete the video while i watch it stops me from watching

[tidal shore]

yeah it's inappropriate

sorry

wizards with guns, check them out

[high storm]

Incredibly emotional moment

Totally caught me off guard

Very fucked up but not sexual this time

[tidal shore]

i just read it

[high storm]

Very good chapter isn't it?

Huge shock factor, very interested what happens next

[tidal shore]

yeah that was some epic food served on a platter

so, who was that

oh i see

[high storm]

||Nayuta ||

||If you look in her eyes you will see the ripples if you're in doubt||

||also some say that Denji might have just ate a piece or two of her without knowing but that's just a theory||

Haha yeah

The fucking smirk

[long peak]

Fujimoto please let denji be happy for literally one day please

[ionic schooner]

I mean

Remember when he was recruited by makima

And he ate udon

Or when he made the greatest PB&j

[long peak]

He hasn't been happy in over 100 chapters

His only time being happy was with Aki and power

[tidal shore]

wanna make a fanfic where we mutilate him and eat his corpse?

I just found out android has stickers I'm gonna be such a menace

Umm guys?

[tidal shore]

she's not being a bitch tho?

never has been

@high storm back me up on this one or I think I'm going to lose it

[tidal shore]

wait until you meet Izutsumi, she's gonna make you drop in an instant

[outer scaffold]

Ummm, i watched episode 2 and she makes me BOILING

[outer scaffold]

If marcille already makes me mad, i don't wanna know how much izutsumi makes me mad

A bot just appeared for a few milliseconds, good job for the auto moderation

[tidal shore]

what behaviours specifically?

[outer scaffold]

How she really doesn't want to be a burden, but ended up making a very stupid mistake, doesn't want to eat available food on the dungeon

[tidal shore]

so

okay

I get the first part

she grows past this behaviours and honestly grows on you with time

2nd part is just how a normal person would react

also personally I love her reactions so I never minded her not wanting to eat dungeon food

[outer scaffold]

Tell me, does she grow this behaviour in the anime?

[tidal shore]

I just told u brotherrrr 😭

[outer scaffold]

I meant, do they show it in the anime or is it still far away into the manga?

[tidal shore]

it's just a one time thing

every character gets a similar moment like that, likely to show they're flawed in some way

izutsumi remains an idiot until the end tho

grahhhhhhh i will never let go

grahhh

Marcille just doesn't want to eat some freakish shit

Like if had to either wait for normal food or eat a renowned man eater tiger would you do that without hesitation?

I want to excited but genuinely what the fuck do they mean by exposition

[edgy bone]

i assume it's like the thing naruto did when the manga ended

[high storm]

?

[edgy bone]

just museum with officially commissioned props

[high storm]

Well that's fucking boring

[edgy bone]

ye i dont really get the appeal

but ive seen a bunch of series do this so maybe it's a thing in japan?

idk

[high storm]

It's like if Simpsons had museums all over USA dedicated to them

Fucking weird

[edgy bone]

i dont think it's forever

it's like

they rent the building space for a while and host it

then they store it away after that

Lame

Like Naruto's reanimated classic scenes?

That was cool

Like 20 minutes of it on YT

[edgy bone]

who knows

[rancid ledge]

i thought there was gonna be a remake wtf

[edgy bone]

thats why you shouldnt assume

[high storm]

A bit let down but remake was a very big thing to expect

I think the same happened with Berserk a while ago

Everyone got excited over nothing

[edgy bone]

theres that fan project for berserk at least

[high storm]

I won't hold hopes

[outer scaffold]

The food thing wasn't even the main that i thinki when i wrote that down

[high storm]

Imo Marcille is like most normal adventurer in the crew

Except the breaking law thing obviously

Ending IS AWESOME THOUGH

[high storm]

Fuuuuuck this guitar is soooo gooood 😩😩😩😩

[craggy mango]

Agree, the ED is better

[topaz linden]

Kinda curious how/if they plan to fade out into it tho. Doesnt quite have the same easing in that the first ED had

First season op and ed were way too good

Holy shit guys

It's the same band as JJK ending

I am a fan of this band now

Listening to their third most popular song I went like "I think I've heard this before, that's weird"

And what would you think

[craggy mango]

Hitsujibungaku is always underrated

[high storm]

They did opening for this one!

Literally just put her in vacuum lil bro

It's a famous meme circling around anime's internet a long time ago

[outer scaffold]

This is why i ask the question

[high storm]

Holy fuck the bunny ribbon part got me rolling

I dunno after reading the comments it just seems like trashy "so bad it's fun" type of manga

[high storm]

Alas this @outer scaffold

People enjoy being taken care of

[outer scaffold]

Moving on, who is your favorite villain?

[high storm]

Or if you mean being indecisive that's because pathetic main character = needed for plot and self insert

That is incredibly tough question

Zeke from Aot
Bondrewd from MiA
Griffith from Berserk
Funny valentine from Jojo

[outer scaffold]

Is one of them arrogant according to you?

I genuinely like the whole package but fans of this mangaka gas him up just soooo much

[high storm]

No

If anything all of them are cold and calculating type

If going in terms of "How entertaining they are" I would shit like Dio and Mahito in there

[craggy mango]

That girl from shield hero is also good

I forgot her name

[high storm]

Bitch

[ionic schooner]

yeah thats basically her name

[craggy mango]

See? You hate her so she is good

[ionic schooner]

true

[high storm]

Hating someone != Villian being good, that means villian is hateble

Different things

[high storm]

I fucking love Zeke and still stand by his plan in AoT

[outer scaffold]

The trope that's been forgotten by all of the people, like they focus on male mc'es a bitch trope, male mc'es a loner trope, op mc trope and all of that stuff, but this one gone off radar

[craggy mango]

Villain supposed to be bad tho

[high storm]

Bondrewd is plenty fucked up from my picks

[craggy mango]

Bondrewd is good shout no doubt

[high storm]

Everyone except Kiruma is fucked up imo

[high storm]

Yooo a got a 5* orphan!

[craggy mango]

Im surprised nobody mention Sho Tucker

[high storm]

The FmA guy?

[craggy mango]

Yea

[high storm]

He barely appears, nothing to discuss much

[craggy mango]

He kinda mentioned a lot in the past

[high storm]

People just think "I hate this guy so he must be a good villain"

That's imo very shallow way to go about it

[craggy mango]

Nah, people are right

Villain supposed to be bad guy, we should hate them

[high storm]

On this basis would you say that friend form 20 century boys is bad villian then?

[craggy mango]

I havent read that

[high storm]

You don't really have that many reasons to hate him unless you super attached to characters

[high storm]

Well do you hate Johan that much then?

I don't have much resentment to him tbh

[craggy mango]

I do like him as villain

[dusty fable]

Chimera Alchemist or did I remember incorrectly?

[high storm]

See? Someone being a good villian and being someone who's guts you hate is different

[craggy mango]

Yee

[high storm]

Scar imo a better antagonist/anti hero

[dusty fable]

yeah, but I personally think there are no bad characters in FMA(B)

badly written I mean

[high storm]

Don't have any strong feelings about brotherhood tbh

It's just really good, not much to discuss

Original FMA thought had me fucking HATING some of bad guys

[outer scaffold]

Guys, what is worse? So much plot armor for the mc or the villain?

Hard to even call him antagonist he is like a second dad

[high storm]

Fuck no

Series do perfectly good without him

[dusty fable]

he is the perfect antagonist. The one you get Stockholm Syndrome from

[high storm]

He was a perfect stepping stone

Story is about Thorfinn first and foremost

And his impact on Thorfinn can't be understated

[dusty fable]

ehh, season 2 is like 2 points below s1 for me. Snake is just not good enough, and Canute... well he is too far and between

[high storm]

😭😭😭 damn bro

Haven't read the manga maybe Hilda will be more up your valley later on

[outer scaffold]

In the same comment thread (paraphrase): "A villain getting plot armor is like a cockroach who won't die, we already hate them and it's frustrating seeing them constantly survive"

[dusty fable]

huh, I would give the guy a perfect plot armor. Give me more Dio

[shadow sleet]

Cant believe i stuck through the whole thing expecting something other than farmland saga

[tidal shore]

everyone has become blue, the plague spreads

[dusty fable]

what did you expect, if the anime is about Vinland - a land without war

[high storm]

I just can't remember another villian to go through generations and different parts of series from straight sheer hating

[tidal shore]

I haven't even watched or read it but I feel like there was more than farming there

[high storm]

Just don't reply

[outer scaffold]

Do they say the villain is badly written? No. Does everyone need to like mc or villain? No either

[tidal shore]

wait

[dusty fable]

there aren't many anime with different generations to begin with

[tidal shore]

is vinland saga also a slow pace anime?

[high storm]

Yeah season 2 is pretty slow at the beginning

[tidal shore]

just a bunch of "ooh look at me i am so deep" types of stories?

[high storm]

No, it's actually good

[tidal shore]

ok this is my next hating fuel

imma watch it

and then bitch about it

[edgy bone]

did you like berserk

[tidal shore]

yeah it was fire

[high storm]

Lol, even the author doesn't portray and questions the main ideology of MC

[edgy bone]

youll like vinland

at least season 2

[high storm]

Both seasons are amazing but for different reasons

[edgy bone]

season 1 kinda does its own thing and takes a while to get to the core of the story

[tidal shore]

i swear to god if it's another kingdom building anime

[high storm]

First season is great but second season is masterful

[high storm]

Lmfao not even close

[tidal shore]

ok we're good

[dusty fable]

it's USA building anime

[craggy mango]

Roshidere anime ecchiness is actually worse than the manga lmao

[high storm]

Roshi who?

[craggy mango]

I never remember that feet shot

[tidal shore]

not another usa please

[edgy bone]

feet?!

IllyaTriggered

show me

[dusty fable]

yes, democracy and freedom to everyone on Earth

[high storm]

Vinland is a viking colony in America, it's like season 4-5 material he is just joking

[craggy mango]

https://fxtwitter.com/animetv_jp/status/1808573202030838123?t=NzOzxIzQAXvkcYXyVz6i-w&s=19

[edgy bone]

oh that russian girl anime

i forgot about it

[high storm]

Literally this genre

[tidal shore]

yes also the wealthy elite tryna play pretend like they have morals and are not at all extorting the 98% of everyone else for their own benefit while keeping money in the pockets of the elites through stock trading and manipulation of global markets 😃

[craggy mango]

Yes its very generic

[high storm]

Yap yap yap yap whatever

Vinland is a masterpiece of a manga and a great anime, I will legit know you as the shit take man if you say it's bad

[edgy bone]

i think cave will like this one

if he doesnt drop it early

trust

[dusty fable]

he will like it, but bitch about it anyway

[tidal shore]

yes i know, but i keep saying it to see if someone tells me im stupid and don't know anything and am not capable of synthetic thinking or whatever

[edgy bone]

wtf is synthetic thinking

[tidal shore]

"Synthetic thinking involves generating new ideas, perspectives and solutions by combining or recombining existing knowledge or elements in novel ways."

[dusty fable]

prosthetic thinking

[high storm]

Literally everyone does that, there is no need for this term

[tidal shore]

this was me with dungeon meshi, except the good part didn't exist to begin with 😭

[edgy bone]

speaking of binging tho

someone told me mushoku ended

[dusty fable]

jesus, that's just thinking

[edgy bone]

so guess it's time

[high storm]

What a shit take man

[tidal shore]

sorry

[tidal shore]

key word "novel", personally i think by making such categories people mean that some people are particularly more adept at creating genuinely novel ideas, perspectives, and solutions, in relation to everyone else
otherwise why would there be a need to classify different types of thinking in the first place?

i have other possible explanations in mind, but ehhhhh

[high storm]

That's just what everyone does at one point of life

[tidal shore]

damn, I don't wanna get into this now

[tidal shore]

point taken

[tidal shore]

american culture breached into anime

[high storm]

It's like that stupid thing where some people supposedly don't understand conditionals or can't imagine an apple

[dusty fable]

tbh, I have never seen this terminology being used, and I had read a bunch of philosophical and scientific works on thought process

[high storm]

I just don't believe someone can't do that

[tidal shore]

this is like kaguhara type

[tidal shore]

kaguhara

[high storm]

Yeah this reads like internet speak tbh

[tidal shore]

perhaps it was described with other terminology, philosophical works can be overtly verbose

[high storm]

Some self proclaimed neo-philosophy fan or some bs online

[tidal shore]

that said, my knowledge on thought processes is rather limited, and I've only learned of this term yesterday

haven't read many works that directly talk about thought processes, but I did come across things relating to it when reading literature focused on neuroscience, psychology, learning, raising a child, socialising, etc

just random bits and pieces from all over the web

granted, a lot of it was "prescriptive", some of it were self help books, some just regular youtube videos, a lot of opinions to sift through

I don't know how much that differs from your regular philosphical works focused on thought processes

[high storm]

Sounds like someone did a shallow "research" and after seeing something he thinks is enough to talk on topic started throwing around big words and definitions

[tidal shore]

nah I just wanted to learn to use the term since it interested me personally, so I'm throwing around a bunch of new stuff every now and then to see how it's supposed to be used, whether average people are familiar enough with it to understand it in everyday conversation, what I'm lacking in knowledge (see if people point anything out that I misunderstood), etc

[outer scaffold]

How about you guys stop debating for a second, take a breather maybe going outside or playing a relaxing game or maybe even read a sol manga, then go back to this channel with a cold head?

[high storm]

You jumped into something without fundamentals and lacking the knowledge of general ideas, not the best look imo

[high storm]

I don't think anyone here is hot headed?

[dusty fable]

I think it is fine to use the term if it would make the discussion more clear. Whether it is the case with "synthetic thinking" is up to debate

[outer scaffold]

. (You were getting hot headed for a sec (in my pov))

[tidal shore]

it's ok, I don't feel attacked, and I don't think I'm attacking anyone either

also kvitsev being kvitsev is fine, I used to be in toxic communities so stuff like this kinda flies over my head

[high storm]

Nah am chillin really, reading stuff on reddit in meanwhile and playing Carson Minecraft videos on pc

[high storm]

I just say what I think ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠∵⁠ ⁠)⁠┌

[outer scaffold]

Oooh, what subreddit do you read? Or is it the timeline?

[tidal shore]

"general ideas" as described by people who have researched a topic and assigned it terms, mayhaps? cuz I think I've learned enough to develop my own understanding even if I haven't put that into specific terms

[high storm]

Just whatever I think is funny at the moment

[tidal shore]

this is such a copout tho, there are ways of saying what you think without coming off as an asshole

every time I hear this phrase man

every time

[high storm]

Ideas as of already established concepts and schools of philosophy I mean

[high storm]

But I don't want to be not come off as asshole)

[tidal shore]

malicious compliance it is then

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1100049178064846889.gif?size=48&name=frogjam&quality=lossless

[high storm]

Reading greentexts rn for example

[tidal shore]

this bro surfs the chan of the 4

[dusty fable]

there are always new schools of philosophy. Just a bunch of years ago Dawkins created memeology and it was pretty divisive, but nowadays it is considered more or less legit

[tidal shore]

that explains how he knows about the suipiss incident

[outer scaffold]

4chan? Or is it the subreddit of funny 4chan?

[high storm]

I don't read 4 chan actually

It's the r/greentext

[tidal shore]

oh ok

so regurgitating 3chan posts

4

[high storm]

I can't be bothered to look for funsies myself, I just let other plebs upvote what is supposed to be funny for me to enjoy

Some can super fucking funny at times

[tidal shore]

what the heck is memeology

[outer scaffold]

How about 2chan? Need me some good old japanese post (sorry if i'm wrong about 2chan being a japanese version of 2chan)

[high storm]

People not into topic think that 'meme' only means like fuckin "doge" and "Me gusta" fun pics

[tidal shore]

idk I was never a Xchan user

[outer scaffold]

10chan 😱

[dusty fable]

in short, a theory about evolution of basic building blocks of thoughts and ideas

[high storm]

Just fyi what meme actually is

[tidal shore]

"thoughts and ideas" separate from "memes"?

[dusty fable]

the original theory is that meme to ideas is what gene to organisms

[edgy bone]

isnt that just

that clip from mgs

[tidal shore]

uhhhhh

[high storm]

Somewhat true but not quite imo

[high storm]

READ

[edgy bone]

how does that contradict what i said

[tidal shore]

so basically one of the building blocks of culture

[high storm]

More or so yes

[dusty fable]

well, it was how it was described in "Selfish Gene", the work where meme originated

[high storm]

Cave paintings can be stretched to be called memes

[high storm]

I think definition has warped plenty since 20th century

[tidal shore]

holy shit im using memes for my name and profile pic

[dusty fable]

well, yeah. Especially after it was appropriated by pop culture

[high storm]

Yes, ofc

[dusty fable]

but the same thing happened to most philosophical works at any rate. It's like gestalt doesn't really mean anymore whatever Carl Jung invisioned it to be

but it doesn't mean that the original meaning is invalid

[high storm]

Yeah I think people generally tend to specify if they talk about it out of context

[tidal shore]

Karl Marx and Nietzsche works got ruined too

[high storm]

I don't respect Marx as neither a person or a philosopher but he was a nice historian I suppose

He was a father to so many terrible horrible ideologies

[tidal shore]

technically he hasn't fathered anything

what he described already existed before

[high storm]

🙄

[dusty fable]

it doesn't make his ideas bad to be honest. It's just the people who twisted his ideas to their own ends

[tidal shore]

just some leaders went like brrrrrttt and used his work to create more oppressive regimes

[high storm]

Core idea of this utopia of communism is just the most detached shit from reality ever

[tidal shore]

maybe not "used" used, but decidedly cherrypicked to create the worst governments ever

[high storm]

Even theoretically taking away the greed from humans is impossible

[dusty fable]

it's a valid idea though, just not realistic at our point of development

[high storm]

Disagree, absolutely bonkers and not with humans as species

[tidal shore]

have you read his work?

[high storm]

Had for an assignment, why?

[tidal shore]

banger

[high storm]

I still think he is a fucking idiot

Greed makes humans what they and that's how we got here

No person shares with others without thinking about themselves in any way

[tidal shore]

yeah there's always some cost-benefit type of thinking going on

[dusty fable]

basically, any peer to peer network would be biased towards Marx ideas. And such networks proved to be effective in resource sharing and scientific development

[high storm]

Sharing everything with everyone can possibly only work with robots

[tidal shore]

huhh I guess that works

nice

[high storm]

Communism requires the taking away the core values humans have as the species, greed and freedom

Just simply not compatible with humans

[tidal shore]

how long is the original manifesto? found one pdf with like 68 pages, that will do @high storm ?

[dusty fable]

not really. You can have a collective pool of resources without requiring to completely abandon any personal belongings

[high storm]

Man you really don't need to read allat, you will never catch up if you read every work fully, re-tellings are good enough for online discussion

[tidal shore]

nah i will read the source

[high storm]

Well yeah, taxes

[dusty fable]

basically, crowdsourcing is another "hi" from Marx ideas

[tidal shore]

maybe it's as misunderstood as the loomis method in art for all i know

fwiw i know people confuse communism with stalinism already

[high storm]

And yeah before you ask I AM shitting you

[dusty fable]

I meant crowdsourcing, where you give your share of resources by your own volition

[high storm]

People only do this to feel good about themselves and if they value said feeling over money given

[tidal shore]

so, we're reapplying Marxist ideas to online environments?

[high storm]

Can we not? Marx fans online are the WORST

[dusty fable]

wdym. If you crowdsource a game you want to be developed, that wouldn't get the funds otherwise, that's not about feeling good about ourselves, that's about getting what you want

[tidal shore]

cost benefit again

[high storm]

That's paying for a product, that's just capitalism

[tidal shore]

if the cost of contributing justifies the benefit you think you will get

[dusty fable]

well, the point is not denying the good from capitalism, but incorporating it

[high storm]

You are saying it like exchange of goods in capitalism is inherently evil

[dusty fable]

don't put words in my mouth

[high storm]

That's why I put 'like' I don't get what's your point

Paying for a product you might or might not receive is not something Marx tried to promote

[dusty fable]

what I said is that crowdsourcing could be called a socialist thing in its basis. But it incorporates cost-value approach that is inherently capitalist

[high storm]

I don't think crowd sourcing is a socialism, that's just being a beggar with promises

It's like if I say "Gamblers give me 20 bucks and I might return you a 100"

That also would be crowd sourcing

[tidal shore]

so would public healthcare also qualify as Marxist?

[dusty fable]

it's just words communism and socialism have too much stigma attached, that people immediately deny these terms, lmao. But the models themselves could be adapted

[high storm]

You pay tax for it so not quite, country actively benefits from you being healthy, just not perfectly healthy

[high storm]

Well yeah obviously they could in some capacity

[tidal shore]

but it's publicly funded through taxes, everyone collectively contributes to the system that way?

[high storm]

But communism is pure delusion

[dusty fable]

technically, it could be said so. But it has the same attachment to Marxism as contemporary memes to Richard Dawkins

[high storm]

Not willingly though

[tidal shore]

no clue who Dawkins is

[tidal shore]

yeah it's dictated by law, so a layer of freedom is taken away here

[high storm]

Not one person thinks "Oh gee I sure love paying more for things so that some bum can be treated from his drunken drive shenanigans"

[high storm]

Laws are a necessary evil that take out a portion of freedoms

[dusty fable]

pure communism is, just as pure democracy is not really achievable. With communism, we just don't have appropriate systems in place

[high storm]

Idea of communism is moneyless (impossible) classless (impossible) working (maybe) happy (impossible in these circumstances) society

[dusty fable]

moneyless may be impossible. But something proto moneyless? That is where crypto currencies might go

[high storm]

Eeeeeeeeh

That would be very tough and very unnecessary, I am actively against going all electronic

[dusty fable]

we already mostly discarded physical money

[high storm]

?

Fuck no

[tidal shore]

fuck yes?

[high storm]

That's a gross overstatement

[tidal shore]

paying with physical money is on the decline so hard

[dusty fable]

I already make 95% of my transactions with electronic means, 99% in volume

[high storm]

Well yeah but countries are still printing fuckload of money for a reason you know

[tidal shore]

crazy

[high storm]

Well I make 70% with paper money, anecdotal evidence is iffy

[tidal shore]

hmmm

[high storm]

^

[tidal shore]

duhh

meanwhile some other countries are moving away from cash, encouraging stores to not accept physical cash anymore

[dusty fable]

well, now consider that electronic means of payment started to become popular only like 15-20 years ago and it has already penetrated the market this much

[high storm]

I don't get why people want to move away from cash so bad, I trust myself with cash in hands more than I trust with money in my government's bank account

[dusty fable]

you don't need to have money in the bank. Get yourself a crypto wallet, and keep crypto tokens there, no need for a bank

[high storm]

Fuck no

Are you insane?

It's even worse than trusting government

They will at least protect your money

[dusty fable]

why? The only problem is that crypto currencies are young and still undergoing their development throes

[tidal shore]

it's just grounds for more invigilation, tracking everything you do, removing your freedom and making it easier to enforce anything they want

[dusty fable]

as soon as a proper crypto currency is established, it would be pretty useful

[high storm]

Literally, people want to be super controlled for ????? Reason

And crypto has 0 security or backing with gold

[tidal shore]

convenience? though I guess the average person doesn't really think about what I'm talking about, and I have a suspicion that the shift to digital is happening slowly on purpose

[dusty fable]

nobody protects your money, that's an illusion. If your currency crashes, you are left with worthless paper

[high storm]

The only reasonable reason (lol) is security

[tidal shore]

if your crypto crashes, you are left with nothing either

[high storm]

Crypto is literally the same minus the paper and security

[tidal shore]

who decided the value of gold? what if it changes once asteroid mining becomes profitable? all value standards are social constructs subject to change, we are merely choosing ones that are least likely to change for a long time

[dusty fable]

yes, so they are basically the same. But not contolled by government. Though it was merely just what Kvitsev posited as a demerit of electronic money

[high storm]

That's gonna happen only if you believe in conspiracies

[dusty fable]

I didn't say to keep your money as crypto tokens, because crypto currencies are still in their early stages. Just that in the future it is a valid value storage

[high storm]

I would rather pick government storage over some shmuck with crypto

[tidal shore]

I, for one, look forward to a day where we move away from money, or at least a day when money becomes worthless because we've really produced enough "value" to not need so much of it anymore

[high storm]

Lol, like that's ever gonna happen

[tidal shore]

with reusable rockets for space travel being a thing, new battery technologies and government funding, it might just be plausible

[high storm]

Trade has been as long as communities of humans existed

We just simplified it to currencies

[high storm]

Naaaaaah

[dusty fable]

that will happen, but maybe not in our lifetimes. Just the same way as we moved from barter system of trading and carrying bars of silver around to other tokens of value, like obligations and paper money

[tidal shore]

people gonna laugh but I think it will, next 10k or maybe 100k years, who knows, but one day it will, there's a non zero chance that it could happen

[high storm]

I think if you need to bring "What if in 100k years" it's just proves it's not very important/plausible

[high storm]

That's just crypto bro wet dream and only might happen in far far far far future when we might just run out of fucking trees to cut for paper

[dusty fable]

I wouldn't be surprised if in 100 years most of our money would be handled by personal AIs, and those wouldn't need paper money

[high storm]

"Gee, I sure love having no agency and trusting someone else with all of my valuables"

That's a fucking dystopia

[dusty fable]

in the end, if your neighbor is using an AI and making better economical decisions that let him accrue more money than you, you will adopt an AI yourself. Or be a guy who lives in the forest, not literally but symbolically

[high storm]

I would rather live in the forest without money at all than live in your shitty dystopia man

[dusty fable]

you think of it as dystopia, I think of it as one less headache

[high storm]

You will either forfeit your freedom for government in exchange for security or be regularly robbed by scum

[dusty fable]

we always forfeit personal freedom for convenience. I will forfeit it for my food delivery, cashless payments, access to worldwide knowledge everyday

[high storm]

Bleh, what a robot you are

"You will own nothing and you will be happy" in a person instead of just a scary ominous slogan

[dusty fable]

do you use steam? Why not stop using it and start using actual DVDs instead? You own nothing in steam

[high storm]

I mostly pirate games

Buying digitally is cringe unless I want to see developer make more for me in future to pirate

[dusty fable]

nothgin to be proud of tbh

[high storm]

It's legal and I keep my money, I see nothing wrong with that

[ionic schooner]

I JUST SPENT 100 DOLLARS ON STEAM GAMES

[topaz linden]

Pretty sure no matter where you are, it's illegal lol
Not enforced is not the same as legal

[edgy bone]

i heard of one country that has either a government hosted or isp hosted (i forgor) pirate site

someone suggested to use it with a vpn

crazy stuff

[tidal shore]

honestly if you play a lot of games and want to sustain that hobby, you would need A LOT of money

ukraine just don't got shit to sustain even that

muricans and other 1st world countries have it too nice

[high storm]

No there is just no law against that

Cyber police is a joke and practically non existent

My ass is NOT paying for every game I try

[tidal shore]

yeah if it's not enforced it's really not a problem

like, if u were in Germany u would be cooked, have fun spending 3k euro a year on games

[high storm]

Paying for games when they work perfect pirated seems just foolish to me (unless you want to see developer make more)

[dusty fable]

not really. If you are at least somewhat clever about it. Let's say a 60 bucks game has 30 hours worth of playtime in it. For 2 bucks per hour, if you play 4 hours a day, that would make it 8 bucks per day, or 240 bucks per month. Not really unsustainable

[high storm]

????

That's VERY expensive wdym

That's 1/4 of my fucking salary

[dusty fable]

sure, but if you play 4 hours a day, that's 1/4 of your life

[tidal shore]

240 bucks a month tho is 😂

post pandemic doesn't seem that bad, honestly it's crazy that games prices have stayed the same post pandemic

[high storm]

Dude really gonna pretend like 8$ a day isn't a lot

[tidal shore]

when everyone lost about 25% of their wealth

through inflation and more

[dusty fable]

that basically if you buy new games without any discount or with some basic 10% discount. If you go for cheaper games with huge discounts, different payment models like monthly sub or f2p games, you spend 2-3 times less than that

[tidal shore]

60 dollar games usually are 15% to 30% off, unless you want to wait months for some insane offer, humble bundle, or straight up buy from hackers on g2a

[high storm]

8$ a day is fuckload

[tidal shore]

what are you talking about

[high storm]

Let's not forget shit like season passes, subscriptions and DLCs

[high storm]

That his prices are super unsustainable for many many people

[tidal shore]

yeah monthly subscriptions are much more sustainable, fair

[tidal shore]

maybe if Africa, ur from Ukraine tho, u aren't making a whole lot less than Polish people do

[edgy bone]

https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1dulbc3/i_found_a_bitcoin_am_i_rich_or_do_i_have_to_keep/

heres your bitcoin

now shut

[dusty fable]

bought from a jipsy. Honestly, I saw a jipsy selling these bitcoins

[high storm]

Look, my salary was on a night shift wagie slave 8 hours at the computer I was making 1k $, if I had to pay rent for a 1 bedroom flat I would at least need to spend 3/10, let's say not I spend 2.5/10 for video games, and now I am left with 4.5/10 for my bills, food and savings

And 1k$ is FIVE TIMES THE MINIMAL SALARY

[ionic schooner]

😭

[high storm]

There are millions who make less money then I made back then

[topaz linden]

Ah, so there's the country.
Yeah, they're pretty squarely in the "illegal but not enforced" group of countries when it comes to Piracy lol (understandable given the current situation)

[high storm]

Post USSR countries just do not give a fuck

[tidal shore]

yea 1k a month is kinda ass, if u need to spend half or more of your salary on rent and living expenses your life is going to be miserable no matter what u do

[high storm]

Not a single one ever cared to protect virtual goodds

[high storm]

And now imagine if I just cut the crazy price tag of video games by pirating lol

[dusty fable]

I kinda doubt it is enforced anywhere except EU, USA and maybe singular countries

[high storm]

I suddenly gain fuckload of money

[topaz linden]

Most countries with a brain realized going after individuals didnt make much sense lol
Even the US doesn't really bother
Germany tho can and will crack down on it relentlessly

[tidal shore]

also, 1k a month sounds pretty good, I heard Poland gets Ukrainian immigrants to work for them cuz cheap labour, cuz Ukrainians think they will make more here, and here you are saying stuff that basically means you earn the same of what we do lmao

[high storm]

Brother 1k$ is literally a high end job

[tidal shore]

granted, the recent change to 1k euro lowest national income is post-pandemic

[high storm]

Like middle class comfortable life

[dusty fable]

I heard Germany enforces it occasionaly like maybe the only time you can get into legal trouble for pirating stuff (not sharing it)

[topaz linden]

It's kinda funny cause you see so many posts from new residents freaking out about it cause like... it just isnt enforced anywhere elae

[high storm]

Germany is however been real dumb lately (Seriously, ditching nuclear for coal? Wth)

[tidal shore]

i was earning twice that in the Netherlands being a warehouse nutjob
only then did I realise how shitty Poland has it, so I guess Ukraine has it even worse

[high storm]

The closer to russia the worse un-ironically 😭

[tidal shore]

it's true

my new estimate is you need to be able to save 2/3rds of your monthly income at least for a comfortable life

[high storm]

Just checked if I were to apply to the same job now I would make 5 times the minimal salary still

They upped minimal salary recently ig

[tidal shore]

yeye

honestly you should really consider working abroad in the likes of NL or Germany, u will earn 3x or 4x of what u get here

[high storm]

It was 32k 2 years ago, now it's 40k

[high storm]

I was working for an American company

I am not as stupid as to work with locals and get paid in anything but dollar

[topaz linden]

Even in Germany, the former Russian controlled part is still so much worse off than the rest of Germany to this day 😭 (map's from 2023)

They really did leave a lovely mess across Europe lol

[tidal shore]

yeah fuck commies 🗣️ 💯 🔥

[high storm]

Fuck commies 🗣️🔥💯

[dusty fable]

CommieSubs are nice though

[tidal shore]

dad be like "isp gonna call police on u" and here i am sitting with thousands of pirated products since then 💀
ofc I bought some games since then, can't stay a leech forever, I wanna support the cool indie devs

[high storm]

The what

[dusty fable]

doesn't exist anymore AFAIK. People who did sublate well enough to be actually good

[tidal shore]

the only group of commies I'm okay with tbh

[high storm]

???

[tidal shore]

they have the commie pass

[high storm]

What do you even mean

Is that a subgroup? Is that a sandwich seller?

[tidal shore]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqiVJJt3_KY

[edgy bone]

nice butt

[high storm]

Ah

Should've figured

[dusty fable]

ehh, that's kinda late CommieSubs, when a lot of people left for HorribleSubs, and maybe at that time they already moved to Crunchy roll lmao

[high storm]

I gotta be honest lads I have no idea what subs do I even read

They don't leave a name no more

[tidal shore]

commie subs perfection

[dusty fable]

that's because there are no more sublate groups of any reknown. Most just steal official subs

[edgy bone]

you'll only know about it if you torrent your own anime manually

[high storm]

Why bother, so many websites with that already

[edgy bone]

sure

was just saying thats the only way to see sub group names nowadays

[dusty fable]

CommieSubs is from the age when you either had to watch in Japanese or have people translate it to you (which Commie did and early HorribleSubs did, and a bunch of other people too)

[edgy bone]

aggregator websites usually just steal from somewhere without crediting

[high storm]

I dislike paying for online stuff so much the only subscription I DO have is Spotify which costs me just one (1) breakfast a month

[edgy bone]

do you want free premium spotify

i can hook you up

[high storm]

Am good

[tidal shore]

this is my fav video

[high storm]

I only got into anime in 2019

Before that only like TV stuff

[tidal shore]

explains why ur still into slop

:dab:

[edgy bone]

youre a cereal

aren't you always swimming in slop

[tidal shore]

touché

[high storm]

Pokemon, Bakugan and uuh.... Heidi.....

[edgy bone]

oo

[high storm]

Me when I lie:

[edgy bone]

what's youre favorite bakugan season

[high storm]

2nd

[edgy bone]

acceptable

[tidal shore]

Heidi???

[high storm]

Un-ironically good characters for a kid's show

[high storm]

My TV was empty as fuck man

[tidal shore]

my sister used to watch it

[edgy bone]

i liked season 1 the most

but that's also in part cuz of the video games

[tidal shore]

there was that one episode where the psycho threw an invalid's wheelchair off a cliff cuz of friendship jealousy

[high storm]

Never played the video games, only had the toys

[edgy bone]

the video games made after season 1 have a proper simulator of the game but animefied if you wanna try

[high storm]

I remember only bits and pieces tbh, Heidi's friendship with wheelchair girl was cute if I recall

[tidal shore]

@high storm 2:42

[edgy bone]

season 2 onwards its just kaiju/pokemon battles cuz they ditched the game rule consistency in teh anime too

[edgy bone]

ps2/wii version has prettier graphics but ds version has a better progression/number balancing if you care about that

[tidal shore]

HAHAHAHAHAH

[high storm]

Also her step(?) dad was a very dependable and strong stoic man

I think

Also I remember she moved from mountains to like a house somewhere

Very hazy memories

Also opening seemed to have her on swing

I was bored out of my mind watching that

I was like 7 or 8 back then watching it

[tidal shore]

nice

at 8 i watched digimon with my bro, best shit ever

didn't realise it's anime until 8 years later

[edgy bone]

it's weird cuz like

even as a kid i was attracted to anime i just didnt realise it

[tidal shore]

yeaa

[edgy bone]

literally all the cartoons that stood out to me and were memorable turned out to be either dubbed anime or anime inspired cartoons

[tidal shore]

did u also go through a phase of "cartoons are for kids, im not a kid" and just refused to accept that u like cartoons for a while?

[dusty fable]

ehh, I was mostly watching Nickelodeon, and the only anime I watched regularly as a kid was Pokemon

[edgy bone]

nah

[tidal shore]

dam

[edgy bone]

my parents were hellbent on trying to get me to stop being interested in all my hobbies so i kept on with it as a way of defiance

[ionic schooner]

METAL

[edgy bone]

only phase i went through was that i got burned out with episodic tv shows and moved on to binging shows online with more long term plots

[dusty fable]

I think a lot of ppl do, though I happened to live in a curious community where most kids actually watched Death Note, Naruto and Bleach and I was peer pressured into watching it lmao. Not really peer pressured, I just really believed that my friends had a good taste.

So I watched Death Note, Code Geass and Ergo Proxy as one of my first animes

[edgy bone]

wild

meanwhile people still think im weird for watching anime

cultural differences do be wilding

[tidal shore]

that's so wild

[high storm]

Code geass so ass

[tidal shore]

also probably the most normal first eposure to anime

[dusty fable]

I don't think it was cultural. More like a quirk of our community. Ppl didn't really discuss anime at school (I had to travel to school)

My true first anime that I acknowledged as anime was https://myanimelist.net/anime/3958/Kannagi And for the life of me I don't remember why I even watched it

[edgy bone]

surely you thought the girls were hot

[dusty fable]

maybe. I do still remember a bath towel scene, kekw. After which I used to despise any such fan service in anime

[dusty fable]

even more funny was the way my friends intially started watching anime. They were big fans of heavy/trash metal music at that time (well, like most kids going trhrough their rebellion phase), so they somehow picked up Death Note because it had trash metal music openings and so they were sucked into anime

[edgy bone]

noice

[dusty fable]

I think it was partially because a lot of heavy metal merchandise stalls and shops actually had Death Note merchandise too

[dusty fable]

now that I think of it, it's funny how HorribleSubs went from stealing anime from japanese services and translating it, to stealing subs from Funimation later to become Crunchyroll and buy Funimation kekw

[tidal shore]

bruhhh

wait

[high storm]

Underdog story

[tidal shore]

is horriblesubs actually crunchyroll and funimation?

that is so crazy, i started watching around the era where mal let you rate tl groups on their website

[dusty fable]

sort of. The founder of HorribleSubs founded Crunchyroll and then torpedoed HorribleSubs kekw. If I remember the shit that transpired correctly

[tidal shore]

oh

so original horriblesubs translators lost their jobs? or just switched to official?

[dusty fable]

this I am not sure about. Probably as usual, some were kicked, some switched.

[topaz linden]

We can finally escape the loop!

[mighty cape]

I like how it progressively gets more broken on the opening section

[outer scaffold]

This made me visibly laughing, even my father asked what's funny

[onyx charm]

WE NEED TO TALK ABT ONK NEWEST CHAPTER

damn that has me in tears bruh

It’s so sad 😭

I want a happy ending

We still have the reincarnation and god shits

Pls akasaka u don’t leave these guys in shambles like this

[topaz linden]

Im waiting for the series to finish before reading through the rest lol

[onyx charm]

Ye it’s almost finished

It’s rlly good

[craggy mango]

Nah he rushed it

Aka Akasaka still sucks at writing ending, just like in Kaguya sama

[ionic schooner]

Did ishigami ever become an apex pred

There should be a love is war spinoff

Of ishigami

Idk what would be in it but it'd be about ishigami

[onyx charm]

How so?

I think the story wrap up pretty nicely with the current chapter

But we still need explanation for the god stuff

Which I hope the god will give them a happy ending

[craggy mango]

||Kamiki has been potrayed as cold serial killer this wholetime but now Aka tosses it away and make him as weak man who was hurted because his gf dumped him wtf||

||"Killing AI was accident" what about Goro and that artist name we all already forgot? He was always there||

||Aqua knows all of this, and this is his revenge??|| Nahhhh

And dont make me start about how Aka wrote main romance in this series

But if you enjoy it, good for you

[craggy mango]

Sadly now Ishigami scared of women :trust:

[high storm]

So called genius characters going ||"Whoopsies didn't think henchmen would actually do that"|| will never be a good excuse

[craggy mango]

What makes it crazier is that ||all the crew know the point of this movie is to reveal Kamiki as the killer but they let him freely interviewing Aqua???||

Also ||Ai video that Aqua possess this wholetime, whats the point of tracing Kamiki in the past|| lmao

Aka should stick at writing comedy series imo

[high storm]

Also ||Ala just doesn't explain why Kamiki pushed an innocent girl off the cliff, like not even a mention of her, did he legit forget this guy is a serial killer? I won't feel bad for him "Errrm, she loved me waaaagh 😭", he fucking kills people lol||

[high storm]

I think it would VEEEERY funny if say ||Ruby is outside the door right? What if Kamiki opens the door and Ruby fucking shanks him ||

That would be stupid but that would be SOOOOOO funny

[craggy mango]

Nooooo 💀

He should had let Mengo finish the story

[high storm]

At this point I don't trust either with how to end story without angering at least one part of fanbase

Like how neither Akane or Kana are particularly important now

I feel like the whole point of story "Entrainment industry is bad 😠" that much is obvious, maybe author won't give a punishment that most people want/expect

And villian will get punished in entrainment industry only, which imo feels just, not enough?

[onyx charm]

Now that u guys mentioned it, I can see plot holes

I tend to look at the story by its concept so I don’t rlly pay attention to details like this lol

[shadow sleet]

Lmao didnt the author take like months off to play apex

[high storm]

Yeah lol

[frank musk]

yep took a break from kaguya sama to attend an apex tournament

[craggy mango]

Wise woman once said

[outer scaffold]

Close calls 💀

[edgy bone]

isnt that very old

[outer scaffold]

Idk

[shadow sleet]

Which one of them 🤨

[edgy bone]

the reddit post

ive seen it around before

[high storm]

Yeah it's like 4-5 years old at least

[outer scaffold]

[outer scaffold]

This guy will probably die if he doesn't start running away

[outer scaffold]

So i looked into the actual post, most of the comments is pretty mild compared to outside reddit

[edgy bone]

omg hololive english vtuber that doesnt stream at 3 am in europe time

impossibru

[tidal shore]

late to the party but it's funny as fuck, would be even better if it was a ck post

[edgy bone]

in ck you can't marry until she's 16 tho

[dusty fable]

hmm, really, I thought I sent 12 yo daugthers to marry my vassals to keep their loyalty. Maybe that was just betrothal

[edgy bone]

ye theyre bethroted till theyre 16

unless it was changed between games but i dont think so

[topaz linden]

She's part of the new group of Europeans they recruited, that's why
