- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of May 25th 2 days ago:
Just finished Metroid Fusion earlier, started Metroid Zero Mission. Replaying both. Probably going to get to the GBA Castlevania games soon as well.
Although I’m starting to get an itch for a Phantasy Star run again so by this time next week I’ll probably be busy with that. Thinking of going straight to Phantasy Star 3 this time. I’ve played PS1 the most by far and PS2 multiple times as well but I’ve only fully completed PS3 once so far.
- Comment on ‘The Boys’ Star Teases an “Extremely Satisfying” Series Finale 2 days ago:
I honestly liked Gen V more, personally. The Boys has kinda ended up in a position where it’s constantly trying to one up itself and do more and more outrageous things. Gen V had the gore and edge but doesn’t necessarily revolve around it. And it’s nice to watch a show where the people you’re supposed to be rooting for are actually likeable.
Don’t get me wrong, The Boys has been a wild ride, but at this point I’ll be glad to see a final season.

Thinking about the USA right now too much doesn’t lead to any good sleep for me at all right now. Because there’s bad things happening to good people there. I feel awful for the actual decent people that share a country with cruel and dogmatic clowns. People who probably live next door to someone who voted to ensure their rights get taken away and their lives become even more miserable.
I honestly struggle to come to terms with the fact so many people are still so cruel and backwards. It’s not the stupidity that’s the main problem, it’s the malicious intent and desire to turn everyone into a goose stepping clone. And how easily people are turned into goose stepping clones. Conned by reality stars and drug addicted tech bros, what a joke. I think it’s part stupidity and part the fact that these people really are just malicious assholes, so they could’ve been convinced into this by a talking toilet brush mascot.
I feel sorry for the intelligent and empathic, and the people who dare to live lives that are true to themselves without dogma who have to live in a country with the stupid and selfish, and the people who want to impose their narrow minded puritanical views onto everyone else with force and cruelty.
I’ll be sleeping like a baby when the goose stepping clowns are all dying of some easily preventable disease that they could’ve vaccinated for but right now there’s nothing comforting about what’s going on there.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 6 days ago:
Absolutely. Also Power Rangers for having a diverse cast that includes girls who kick ass too, and Captain Planet for having both a diverse cast and ecological consciousness. And X-Men for the same reasons they shat on X-Men '97. And Sonic the Hedgehog for being anti-authoritarian and having little PSAs about tolerance and being a good person. And Justice League Unlimited for showcasing female heroes just as much as male heroes. Powerpuff Girls for obvious reasons.
Back then they called everything they didn’t like “satanic” or “evil” anyway. Before they realised they could trick idiot kids into joining their cause by calling it “woke” and packaging it as rebellion instead of pearl clutching and puritanical nonsense.

If Legend of Zelda first came out today, you can bet your ass these people would be complaining about Link not being ‘manly’ enough.
- Comment on Does the average person know markdown? 1 week ago:
Some parts of markdown were made to be intuitive and natural like
And then other parts of it are just infuriating. Like how if you try to post song lyrics or something, the markdown just mashes every sentence together in one line for some reason. So you have to know the secret code just to make gdamn new lines. I actually pressed enter to go to a new line 5 times in this paragraph but it comes out all jumbled together after posting.
As far as I’m concerned, I shouldn’t need to know some special formatting just for return to work properly.
- Comment on What new TV series are you most looking at with interest for the second half of the year? 2 weeks ago:
Probably Lanterns. Although I’m also kinda concerned that they took DC’s interstellar space cops and decided to make an Earth based buddy cop show with them. But hoping it’s good either way and turns out to be more than it appears to be.
Other than that, the only other one I can think of isn’t a new series but a new season, Fallout season 2. Apart from that, I don’t usually do too much looking ahead, so I’m not even sure what else is coming out this year.
- Comment on How can you tell 23 subgenres of equally shitty growls and screams apart, but not see the most Metal basics? 2 weeks ago:
Reason for deleting my comment: not interested in ‘discussing’ anything with people who go “men and women the same” when there’s literally stats and figures that prove otherwise and the growing ideological divide between men and women is a real concern. If I had to bring up those facts, one of these snowflakes would just report my comments for ‘hate’ or something. Because that’s how these people prefer to do it. Sticking their heads in the ground and going “not all men” out of their backsides, rather than ever acknowledging that there are any problems and working to solve them.

Exactly what I was thinking of. I’d still like to know what the real, sinister purpose of aglets are.

- Comment on If a TV series you loved from the 90s, 00s or even early 10s instead came out today - how different do you imagine it would be? How would the writing be different? Who would be casted instead? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah it was another Amazon (well, an outsider that was welcomed in and given Amazon abilities) that turned bad and set off a virus that only affects men. So all the men were either sick or dying. The whole episode has some pretty good back and forth dialogue. And there were definitely sapphic vibes between the evil Amazon and her right hand lady as well.
Watched it again recently and it seems like it features and pushes all of the female heroes at least just as much as the male heroes. Although I find them pretty good with that over all when it comes to team up stuff.
Personally, I’m not too sure how to feel about Bruce Timm’s thing for Bruce and Barbara getting together. As far as I know, before DC decided that they preferred shipping Nightwing with Batgirl instead of Starfire, Barbara was actually closer to Bruce’s age and was a kinda love interest. And I’m guessing that’s the dynamic that Bruce Timm grew up with. So as gross or inappropriate as it was, he was probably just trying to tell the stories that he daydreamed about back in the day. It definitely didn’t work though.

Yeah I enjoyed that a lot, personally. I actually rewatched the entire old series first before I started this new one. And apart from needing to get used to one or two of the voices at first, X-Men '97 carried on with the same themes and vibes perfectly.

If Captain Planet or Power Rangers or the X-Men animated series or Sonic the Hedgehog SatAM or Xena Warrior Princess or Justice League Unlimited came out today, you’d have a bunch of rat faced and humanoid thumb looking YouTubers complaining about the woke agenda ruining their with diverse casts, girl power and ecological consciousness.

- Comment on After getting Stardew Valley to 'a good place' with update 1.6, Eric Barone is now fully focused on his next game 4 weeks ago:
Haha I’ll believe it when I see it. Pretty sure he said something similar a couple of Stardew Valley updates ago. This seems to be his number one love and obsession and one of these days while working on Haunted Chocolatier again, he’s gonna think “hmmm that would actually go nicely in Stardew Valley” and start working on SV again.
Just FYI I’m not complaining or anything. I think it’s funny and relatable. But I’m not gonna hold my breath for this game until it’s actually out.

- Comment on As a child of the 90s we grew up with PC Political Correctness. Is that WOKE but just in a different form? 4 weeks ago:
I think that “woke” (as it used now by right wing mouth breathers) is a combination of “PC” and “satanic”. Because from what I remember in my childhood, “satanic” was the word of choice for right wingers to use when they didn’t like something. “PC” was used in an insulting way by certain people but it was far more popular at the time to just accuse anything they didn’t like of being devil worship.
“Woke” is the exact same shit as that. Just repackaged so that edgelord teenagers also think it’s cool to call everything “woke”. And instead of the devil, it’s the LGBTQ+ community, which is probably the same thing to them anyway. But it’s all spear headed by the same fucking people or types of people, along with their legion of useful idiots this time.
- Comment on The 10 Best Mini Series You Can Finish in a Weekend 4 weeks ago:
The Watchmen movie is a flawed masterpiece and a cult classic, despite Alan Moore (the original comic creator) disavowing it
Alan Moore disavowed it? Must be a day that ends in ‘y’. To be fair, it is a polarizing movie but also Alan Moore comes across as the kind of guy that would yell at Labrador puppies and kittens to get off his lawn. I bet he’s not fond of this (great) miniseries either.
I’ve watched some of these. Currently almost done with WandaVision and looking forward to getting to Agatha All Along. Thanks for the future watch list!

- Comment on Knowing 'what's right and wrong', Virginia Giuffre refused to be silent 4 weeks ago:
Personally I’m not a fan of comparing misfortunes as a way to feel better or worse about your own but I also think it’s basically a cultural thing that people do without really meaning any harm and something that you can’t expect everyone to have really thought about and corrected.

Back with a couple more that I didn’t think of last time I was here (not a moderator of any of these). Both animation (not anime): !theowlhouse@lemmy.world, !shera@lemmy.blahaj.zone
There’s also !ghostintheshell@lemmy.world but it seems sadly dead. And !thecrow@lemmy.world which hasn’t had a post in 6 months and could include movies, series and comics.
- Comment on What are you watching and, what do you recommend this week? 4 weeks ago:
All caught up with the latest season of Ghosts (US version). Another 3 episodes to go including one tomorrow. I definitely hate the weekly format more when the episode is only 20 minutes long excluding ad breaks. Spoiler in case anyone plans to watch:
spoiler
I LOVE the new ghost, she’s awesome. But I’m guessing this means that someone is getting sucked off at the end of the season and leaving the show.
Also, wouldn’t mind checking out the UK version of this show, I just don’t know how close the stories are and don’t want spoilers.
- Comment on What is an example of an adaptation of a book where the TV series was better? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, what I was saying is definitely not a universal opinion. It’s just that Ennis’ work seems to be more for some than others. What I’ve seen people say is that they prefer it toned down a little bit, as adaptations tend to do. Wouldn’t mind taking a look at the comic and seeing for myself though.
- Comment on What is an example of an adaptation of a book where the TV series was better? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, the author, Garth Ennis, seems to be pretty polarizing in comic book fandom based on what I read on Reddit over the years. I haven’t actually read any of his work but from what I gather, being edgy the sake of being edgy is his thing.
Another series based on one of his books that people say is better than the source material is Preacher.

Hollywood five years from now when they’ve milked this to death and have to try come up with original and creative ideas again: “Please save us! We’re in ruins!” And just like with the MCU, all of the people that were happy to cash out when these video game movies were at peak popularity will be blaming video game movies for being the death of cinema and art the moment one movie performs poorly.
- Comment on Favorite B-Movies? 5 weeks ago:
Haha that looks great, going to have to check it out. It’s a little disappointing to see that there’s no cyborgs in it though. On that note, I was also going to mention the movie Cyborg because there’s a director’s cut called Slinger that makes it clear that JVCD did miracle work salvaging it for the theatrical cut of Cyborg lol.
