- Comment on naruto therapy 2 days ago:
As a shonen, Naruto is one of the more complex shows, actually, especially Shippuden. Things are thought of way ahead of time… and I mean like, a decade or more ahead of time, and it isn’t too long, either, especially without the filler. The action scenes get a good bit of budget, are directed well and have great choreography. The world has great rules regarding the entire chakra system it revolves around, and it rarely ever breaks them, but builds on them over time.
I do have my criticisms.
- Kishimoto can’t fucking write women. They’re either drunken and belligerent or silent, quiet and offscreen. Yeah, we got a few Sakura fights, and Ino helps, occasionally, but really, this is a dude-bro show about dude-bro shit.
- Catfishing the final boss. I won’t spoil it, but… fucking hell.
- I would say some of the horny jokes date it, but, I mean, Fire Force exists, so. I don’t even.
- The art falls apart occasionally. This is the only show I know of where the art is as good as it is terrible, and it can easily be extremes of both.
Towards the end, without any vague holes to dump plot mysteries into, things start to fall apart a little bit, but with how distant the power ceiling is kept most of the time, this just means that things can go from ~4 to 11 in ramping stages that keep you on your toes throughout the entire final arc. Naruto doesn’t get Goku-levels of strength until you’re about 7/8 of the way through the series.
A better alternative to Naruto, and also what I’d call the best shonen series ever created is Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. It’s complex, it’s tight, it’s compelling, the rules are strict and easy to understand and the dynamics between characters just work. It’s also a lot less of a time commitment.

“You no longer have the liberty of buying a game from wherever you want. You must consider whether your store is going to continue receiving patches, whether the store itself is going to continue supporting your hardware and software, and whether your friends online bought the game from the same store.”
So are we pissed at the entire industry, or just Steam? You don’t have the liberty to buy anything from wherever you want. Here’s hoping he deleted the rest of his online accounts while he was at it, but online blowhards tend to be hypocrites.

You pay $60 for $25 service to pay off a phone that Tmobile already bought 50k units of.
You will eventually pay for it, and more.
- Comment on Ubisoft EULA demanding consumers destroy delisted games adds fuel to Stop Killing Games movement 6 days ago:
Ubisoft sucks
It isn’t like Nintendo where the games make up for much, Ubisoft fucking blows. Their games are either shallow as shit, or cookie-cutter grindfests based on the same old tired design. I’m glad they don’t own anything that anybody would miss. There isn’t a franchise they own that they haven’t already ruined. Rayman, maybe?

Yes, we are. It isn’t currently whether or not a crash is coming but which one in particular.
The USA could trot along forever North Korea style because our entire country is full of cowards who will just take oppression without any fight.
…the climate, tho. 😬

It would be nice if some of them(like my previous alt), were actually proven to be conservatives to begin with so they didn’t draw the attention of keyboard warriors for the misuse of a pronoun.

DBZero(and Blahaj) have skin so thin that a bible page across the arm causes bloodletting.
I’m surprised the owners don’t divvy out ban quotas per month. Half of the users they ban aren’t even conservatives, who just had logical misunderstandings with an admin one day. Guns looking for targets to shoot.

- Comment on Nintendo faces legal action over ability to brick Switch 2s whenever they want 1 week ago:
Nintendo started phoning it in about halfway through the Wii’s lifespan and never quit. Every game is now a huge sandbox and playing with the physics is the game. I’m on edge with Odyssey. I think there’s some fine Marioing to be had in it, but a lot of it feels very empty, surface-level and rushed… like everything they do since, I dunno, BOTW.

If I were gatekeeping, I would’ve mentioned companies that don’t use shotty business practices and their profits for frivolous lawsuits as alternatives.
I was calling out dumb impulsive consumers.

Preferably one with a mod manager/download client. Vortex is kind of janky but it did the job. I’d prefer not to manage any of this stuff manually, like cavemen. it’s been decades you shouldn’t need to do that
MO2 can do anything Vortex can, and in fact, Stalker and Stalker 2 modders prefer it. The files just need to be hosted elsewhere. A lot of modmakers advise against using Vortex to begin with.
