Let's be honest, in almost fantasy RPG systems magic is OP. So is it really ethnical for your Druid and your Rogue to start dating?

 

Should a level 12 illusionist really be dating a level 4 sorcerer?

I've twice posting links to bad takes on c/slop (the comm for posting bad takes) WITH CWs describing the takes in question, only to have people complaining that I made them see bad takes.

I think people have embraced the idea that free will doesn't really exist (probably true) too much and now expect society to deterministically lead them down a primrose path where they're never even given the option to make a(n even minorly) bad choice.

They were probably the first generation where...

1: having children was more of an economic burden than a benefit.

2: easy means of avoiding having children existed and were generally available.

3: social pressure to have kids was still strong enough to override 1 and 2.

So you have a bunch of people peer pressure into making an easily avoidable choice to take on a massive burden.

I thought the first season was pretty legit so I am pretty surprised by this

And until that quota is reached I will complain incessantly about the quality of this website I voluntarily participate in.

"I hate this website, which is why I post here constantly"

Yeah unfortunately that's probably a thing

Okay THIS would be a great show

"Hey hot lady, go kill Castro!"

"Okay"

later

"So is Castro dead?"

"Yeah about that..."

It's going well so far.

 

A pawn shop owned by a gay couple called "Gay Pawn"?

A pawn shop owned by a step-brother-sister duo where the sister is constantly getting stuck in appliances people an pawning called "Incest Pawn"?

 

And liked watched a movie or something.

Dude with incoherent but lightly commie themed politics flees to random Muslim country where he's briefly greeted as a hero but then ends up either dying from a rare cancer or unceremoniously immigrating back to the US to start a weird Trot party in Brooklyn.

What's next? Group of adventurists do a pretty based adventurism but then break up cuz they're really just a dysfunctional polycule and then they all spend 20 years in federal prison and all either become new born Christians or anti-vax hippy youtubers? Oh wait that's the Zizians.

 

Overall loved the show but had some mixed feelings about the final season.

Didn't really like Roberta just becoming a total feral animistic killer. Outside of the problematic aspects (also CW this anime has a lot of problematic and not-aged-well stuff in it) of that it felt a little out of character for her, wasn't her whole thing she was a super precise assassin who was trying to live a peaceful life, not like, a science experiment gone wrong? Also found it weird how a show that previously seemed somewhat sympathetic to radical leftists and skeptical of US imperialism suddenly presents a NSA black ops team in a wholesome light, especially right after they murdered a bunch of people for the crime of being DemSocs in Latam.

Also felt like there was some forced character development, I think they should have had another season. Rock going all Machiavellian made sense but didn't feel earned. Revy getting called out for having this secret fantasy of a normal life also made sense but again didn't feel like they did enough to allude to that in the previous episodes. Also they really should have spent more time with Dutch, I loved Dutch, probably one of the best black characters in anime ever but it felt like he got way less screen time than his character deserved.

Haven't read the manga so maybe it's better in some regards. Overall though still one of my faves now, like how much it embraces being over the top while also feeling a bit grounded in reality.

 

Probably a stupid idea but this job is making me lose it and it keeps getting worse. Plus I'm trying to get my masters and I don't need the distraction. Though the masters is in a tech field and there are no tech jobs anymore so idk why the fuck I'm bothering.

Oh well.
