Non-Gaming Hot Takes

[NobodyHere]

i dont really mind the same face syndrome artists tend to have i appreciate consistency since it creates a strong identity. just sucks balls that nami had one of the best designs originally and then all of a sudden she inhales too much air and becomes a sex doll. the real play wouldve been to save her timeskip look for a new character but oda never gave himself the luxury of post nut clarity to realize it. he tainted one of the cutest characters

The thing that really gets me is the fact he is more than able to make a vast array of unique male designs. It really makes the problem with the female designs even more prominent for me

Revolution Radio is Green Day's lamest album. It feels like it has no identity of it's own compared to the rest of the discography, like if you asked an A.I. what Green Day sounded like, that's what you would get. Yes, I like both the Trilogy and Father of All better. At least those were interesting if quite flawed.

This one has gotten me smacked before, I think WEBP is a great image format the problem is the lack of support from software developers for example photoshop didn't start officially supporting it until 2022

Mayonnaise sucks compared to ketchup.

Mayonnaise sucks compared to ketchup.

One is greasy and the other is too sugary.

The best condiments are probably the spicy ones or just consume it without sauce.

Depends on the ketchup if its hot or not

This doesnt sound as bad as people say

If the thing is 20 years old dont cry about spoilers

i agree and disagree, obviously if its well known media like the bible or romeo and juliet we can assume everyone knows the plot but if its a somewhat niche game that's still old its a reasonable assumption that someone doesn't know the plot and thus spoiler warnings should be given

I'm pondering what's the right time to do it.

If the thing itself was obscure I think I'd feel bad spoiling it (especially if it's an anime with a nice twist).

On the other hand the thing about Aerith dieing or how Vador is Luke's father are parts of the pop culture at that point.

Exactly.

I don't wanna spoil too much of what happens in the end of a game from 2005 that not everyone has played or even a book that only found a new popularity thanks to a movie.

That's why I don't wanna spoil Dune.

I don't think you should tell anybody irl (specially therapists) about your issues, it would be better to tell them online or keep them to yourself

I honestly did not know they kept going after American Idiot. Say, what’s a new Green Day enjoyer think of the old stuff? Heard “When I Come Around” on the muzak at Walmart the other day and made me dig out my copy of Dookie. Still good.

Green Day has been dropping an album every few years pretty consistently. Last year's release, Saviors, was really good, save for the first two tracks that just feel like Revolution Radio again.

I'm an elder zoomer and have been a fan since I was a teenager. Honestly, there's not really an outright bad album in the bunch. Of particular note, the less polished, bratty sound of Dookie is a delightful time capsule of 90's rock...when I can understand what the fuck Billie Joe is saying...and Warning shows that Green Day is just as capable with acoustic guitars and a generally lighter sound. 1039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours sounds pretty rough in places, but this is a compilation of very early Green Day before even Kerplunk, so it's excusable.

literally the dumbest most harmful opinion I've come across in some time???

Unfortunately, it's the opinion of people who have been hurt for reaching out. Some people have trouble finding support in their local community because they're very different from said community, or have issues said community doesn't know how to deal with. If that person is also a teenager, then the issue is compounded because people are more likely to dismiss his or her troubles as entitled teenage angst.

I don't know if it's good for mental health but I grew up with the mindset that I shouldn't complain because there are people in the world that got it worse than me.

But the problem is that it's often people who never really struggled in their respective lives that often get on their high horse over people who are less lucky in life.

I find it legitimately revolting when people that just happened to know the right person at the right moment or from the help of family members are acting as if they've made 100% of the efforts to gain an important place in life while implying that other people who sadly still are lower are lazy or didn't actually want a better place.

There is a tons of them indeed. Since American Idiot they honestly suck, their golden ages are the '90.
And 1039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours it's the best the best thing they ever made.

You're right, but I still kinda lump Utena into the whole Magical Girl Deconstruction thing too (as does TVTropes, which has a whole page about it!). Utena, apparently, wasn't even the first show to deconstruct magical girl tropes. But the guy who made it was a director on the original series of Sailor Moon and specifically said Utena was created to deconstruct the genre, so. (He's also a fucking weirdo [who of course was in his mid-30s when he made Utena] who puts on a ridiculous persona and has directed nothing but deconstructive little girl cartoons over his entire life, so I'm 100% still counting him as a creep and his dumb show that I've never seen as quite poo.)

Revolutionary Girl Utena had me squinting and rubbing my temples and shit—I didn’t see it as any sort of deconstruction as much as I saw it as deeply strange and, like, gross? I don’t know man I tried to suspend my disbelief and everything but had a difficult time taking it seriously. It was a wild ride.

I do love Takarazuka Revue though.

I'm curious why they are so appreciated by people that still ends up insisting on the fact they're straight.

They can be delicious in Thai dishes.

I think the big problem is that at school they make you do algebra and equations without even bothering teaching kids techniques for everyday calculus (like when doing shopping).

What's the point of the pythagorean theorem outside of specific cases?

At least school should give more real life applications for arithmetic and geometry to help visualise them.

i don't know much about femboys. based on their appearance, they are guys without the male parts. could be all sorts of reasons for their appeal. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

i'm not a big fan of peanuts, so no comment.

i wasn't given much info on algebra and calculus when i was in grade school besides, "you need to know this to go to college".
apparently pokemon games use nasa level algebra for the damage formulas from what i've seen in screenshots and videos of it. it looks insane and more kids would be into it if it was brought up in school that games use this kind of shit in them.

for the last point: for people who love triangles? ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
