On the other hand it deals with a very specific middle age parent's anxiety, the idea of suddenly dying and not being there for their kids. Apparently "the kids will be alright, even the slow one that worries you so much" wasn't the answer they wanted to hear

My work - and it is work - takes time/effort/skill/money/research and more often than not nobody else is offering translated explanations of RE zombie HP mechanics, Pili RPG coverage, or a 10 article series on Power Dolls spanning multiple decades. Please just... be supportive, OK?

A) The typo is hilarious B) The problem is not that it wasn't waterproof ( it probably is in normal conditions) but that it was overheating and then the sudden drop in temperature when he submerged it has probably done a lot of irreparable damage, especially if he didn't turn it off prior to it

Look, late '80s early '90s Argentinian Sci-fi comics were full of this. Unsubtle as fuck but also unashamed. As a kid I used to enjoy more the art than the writing, finding it kinda cringy, really, but now I have to say they were right all along. And boy it sucks

Honestly this kind of message has the same narrative value of the warnings on cigarette packs

The only one to ever got it right was Cervantes who not only had the decency to make it fun but stated it from the beginning instead of relegating it to a cheap twist ending to feel smarter than the reader

Suppose there are elections to be won in 2028

Because there's a lot of hints that Trump won't let that happen.
Right now Trump administration has ignored the congress, scotus rulings, international treaties and laws, your own constitution.

He may not have been open about it but vote is next

No, he thinks of you as of his best friend, but as it happens the postulate "you are not your best friend best friend" is always true so you don't reconize him as such

Still, I feel like we should cut them some slack for being the first administration to be held accountable for supporting, directly and indirectly, Israel war crimes/violations of human rights since the birth of modern Israel in 1948. It must have come as quite a surprise.

"All lines are busy" is just such a perfect "Scram" line...

I should be happy, I like Taro's works, I like EVA, BUT I also feel like Evangelion has already said all it had to say twice over now. Can't shake off the feeling that's just another bad case of Watchmen prequels. So I'm just going to ignore it, probably

I don't disagree, calling the cops should have been the minimum BUT Bttf seems to have quite a superficial view about harassment in general and sexual in particular. George was a creep who stalked her and spied on her when changing. Honestly we don't know how he would have reacted to a "No"

My head-canon now is that he did it as a side hustle to posing as Patel to party with the hockey team.

It sounded like something Roger would came up as part of a plan to mess up with Francine

I thought you were being silly but that's exactly what happened and I'm still mildly upset

As a kid this was so weird to me, I mean, I hated aspiring rapist and bully Biff but George becoming his bully was suddenly right? Bully the bully was the message?

Like almost every Dark Souls map (one to three) it's better played through than it's perceived just looking at its map.
Being in the dark the player is already having their torch lit and the torches around are naturally found while exploring. They are also useful as they stay lit.

The message is true but it's the editing that drives it home!

I'm sure* that it's the cat that gave the dress the name

*I don't have any proof or reason to think that

I... I didn't know or imagined this was a shared experience. For some reason I really tought I was the only one really bad at managing his salad

Frazetta is still the unmatched king of the fit, lean but muscolar body type. I totally buy his Conan being both a strong barbarian and a thief. This superman is the same, He's the strongest being on the planet and yet he's also so elegant in his strenght

There's a perfect Macbeth joke waiting here but I'm not literate enough to make it

And they mostly do detective work for Doctor 13 (Who in my version is not a nut who doesn't believe in gods,magic and aliens existing right in front of him, he just doesn't believe that just because they exist it has to always be gods, magic and aliens)

Oh god, I'm not sure but I think I remember this being on the Ghost in the shell vhs I bought while in Oxford for a school trip way back in 97/98
I still have it somewhere, I remember being both amazed by the movie and kinda lowkey pissed it nailed the serious tone while ditching all the goofy parts

I've never thought about it but now that you have mentioned it I feel like I really need a Beetle + Booster + The Question comicbook series.

Under the beanie he's listening to "airplane over the sea"

Or at least he acts so having to suddenly be both father and commander of those kids... But really, I also agree with you and shouldn't read too much into it, Yas ended using those designs in everything after that

05.02.2026 06:50 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Not disagreeing, character design sensibilities (and in casting choices too) were certainly different then.
That said I can't shake off the feeling that Yas was deliberately making everybody look older as the protagonists were fundamentally child soldiers thrown in an adults war

People joke about Ramba Ral looking older than 35 but they forget that's exactly how people of that age look to teenagers.
