    Yeah, I really liked the style. Kind of an R. Crumb quality.

    I liked Dorohedoro so much I binged the whole thing and then found out that despite being new to and branded by Netflix, it was older and my chances of seeing a second season are dismal.

    [TV] The What Anime Are You Watching Thread!

    Listeners is pretty interesting. It's an exercise in "How close can we get to copywrited content without getting sued?" which is doubled down on by the subtitle translators, who take it juuuust a little further away from the sources than the Japanese audio. Basically, it's a music themed mecha...

    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    So, my daughter (12, about to turn 13) was telling me about some Wiccan spell casting thing on the full moon where they're all going to cast a spell to protect the protestors or something. Whatever, but she says, oh, they're going to use "herbs and incest". "What?" "They're going to use what...

    Sony made the Uncharted series (1-3) free for the lockdown. I bought 4 also. I'd played 1-3 before. This is honestly one of my all time favorite game series. It has everything I like. History, puzzles, great voice acting (Nolan North as Nathan), captivating characters, beautiful scenery, etc. A...

    [Comics] What Comics are you Currently Reading Thread

    I just read all of Immortal Hulk from beginning to end. Truly the best thing out of Marvel recently. Very much in line with really old school (like original run) Hulk. It's got the horror elements mixed in with the sci-fi. I like giving Creel a redemption, too. He always struck me as a fairly...

    It's spelled with an "e" but yes he took the English word for orphan as his name after leaving the academy. All the students are orphans, because student life can be a little fatal.

    Sorcerous Stabber Orphen I actually really like this one. The story is appealing, there are decent jokes to keep things lighthearted, and I want to know where it's going. Out of all the simulcasts on Hulu currently, this is probably my favorite. There are some confusing story bits, though...

    Bofuri This is your typical shonen powerup type of anime...except there are zero stakes. It's the "sucked into a game world" cliche, only they aren't. They're actually just playing an MMO. The whole premise is weird. Somehow, the clueless protagonist Maple keeps stumbling onto powerups by sheer...

    What are you playing?

    I know I'm late to the party on this game, but by the way, if you play it, the most OP skill you get is Teleport, and it's a novice skill. It's easy to forget you have it. But it lets you layout the battlefield the way you want early on, and later it makes bosses and elite bad guys a piece of cake.

    I've played Divinity Original Sin a good bit lately. I like the fights, but the story is kind of trite and a little boring. Even the side quests are pretty cliché. Also I don't particularly care for the amount of tedious searching required to advance the story. It feels like the authors consider...

    I know I am not alone at all, but I have to admit that there is a part of me that gets excited every time something big and bad starts to happen. It's exciting and dangerous and disruptive. I fully understand that many people don't have the luxury to feel this way, and I mean no disrespect. It's...

    Here's an anime trope that never made sense to me: letting the bad guy go after beating him like it's all water under the bridge. Anime in general seems to be better at making the villain sympathetic, but come on. Dude just killed like 500 people in the previous scene. Now it's cool to just let...

    [Brazelton] Katherine Johnson

    Most celebrity deaths don't affect me, but for some reason, hers does. It's just the idea of a brilliant mind laboring in silence while the world praises her work unaware she even exists. Unable to comprehend she even exists in many cases. I hope her life had happiness and satisfaction in it.
