The only Archie Comics I ever read was the Sonic comics.. Now there's some untapped potential that neither the games nor the cartoons ever fully tapped into. Maybe someday we'll get a proper adaptation... (but probably not because lawsuits.. of course).

Every once in a while, the Algorithm just nails it. Saxsquatch. Does not disappoint.

Only a little surprised they're going with another sequel system, given how much of a disaster the Wii U was.... Guess they're banking on that "2" making it much clearer this isn't just the same thing in a new package. Personally... yeah, if I'm gonna buy another system, it'd probably be Steam. I usually really enjoy Nintendo first-party games, but Zelda and Mario were such departures that I don't really have a lot of optimism or anticipation for future installments..

Now, I wonder if it's possible to get us an update to allow for bluesky embeds.. (assuming that's even a simple thing to begin with).

I finally played/finished this game myself. And. That was a story. I don't even know if I can manage to organize all of my thoughts on it. Just, loved the use of themes running through the entire writing. The moments of Kratos showing real vulnerability were tragically beautiful. All of the deep unspoken fears, the doubts, the growth. A classic Hero's Journey, start to finish. I think, ultimately, my final thoughts are this: This story is a lot of things from a lot of angles. A man learning to be a father, a son growing into a man, family, fate, love, loss. But. What I think the true crux of the story is, is a journey of healing. The whole end of the world fight for survival just seems to completely take a back seat to watching Kratos work through his trauma, while trying desperately not to pass it on to his son.

I think I've been wearing the same pair of glasses since.... I think literally since before I joined ASMB...

I'd also propose inflation is hitting hard, and cable is one of those things that everyone looks at and sees an easy bit of money they could save by dropping. Still savings if you only end up with a small amount of streaming services.

Yeah, Moral Orel is another good one. The only other thing coming to mind was Metalocalypse, but, even that I don't think is on the same level.

I wouldn't disagree, but, also..... as praise goes, this doesn't say a whole lot, given the competition...

Confession: Beast Wars is basically the only Transformers media I've ever consumed. I think the writing still holds up decently. The animation is... well, early CG, what can you do. ... Remaster it, apparently, per the other great CG animation of the time, the OG, ReBoot.

I mean, sure, but also, seems unfair to put it up against anything else since it kinda hits a totally different genre. Invader Zim was great as well, but I wouldn't really make any comparisons between the two.

I'm still mad disappointed Gargoyles never came up for a Kingdom Hearts world. That shit would've been amazing.

I don't care what the haters say, RWBY had heart and its own sort of unpolished charm. It wasn't out of some big budget studio, it was just a thing they wanted to try to make. And it had a lot of potential.. at the start anyway. Can't deny it kinda lost itself along the way. Anyway, RIP Monty, we will forever be left to wonder what contributions you could've made to the animation industry. D= I'm also kinda forever bitter that Disney channel will replay Gravity Falls forever, but seems like they'd rather bury and forget Star vs The Forces of Evil. Nothing against GF, but, c'mon, it's not the only great cartoon you got.

Went a bit deep on this dive. This man is living quite a life..

Gee, cucks.

Heckling? Maybe misinterpreted. I'm saying the only logical reason for packie to keep coming back here is because he likes the abuse. Literally nobody wants him here, nobody likes him, every response is telling him to stfu, but he keeps coming back for more. And if he wants to be abused that badly, I say he oughtta be paying for the privilege.

Some people pay good money to get abused like this, and everyone's just giving it away for free.

With lyrics stuck in my head, such as: LET IT BURN, I SAY Rend it all to ash and dust For as fools we are as fuel It is our nature to combust

Maybe it turns out all you gotta do is not be an evil piece of shit and you'll be allowed out in the light of day..

Idk.. this feels like a "believe it when you see it" deal. I'm not even entirely convinced the "remaster" part is going to include significant, if any, trimming, or if it's just going to make it look prettier. On top of that, even if pacing is improved, it's kinda already stained by its reputation. You're not going to get anyone new to slog through several arcs on the promise of "it picks up later.... like, way later."

It's kinda even more surprising when you realize the name... we just jumped from Helene to Milton? Fuck that's a lot of named storms in a short span of time. Even if they're mostly just spinning up and doing nothing in the middle of nowhere, that's still a lot of activity.

Mighty Boosh put it best: "Elements of the past and the future, combinin', to make something not quite as good as either." There may have been potential in the idea at some point.. but the writing is so far removed from the source material that it may as well be bad fanfiction.

In my search for good background noise, rediscovered MXC - Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. This shit was incredible back in the day, and dammit, the writing still holds up solid.

Finally cut out cable last month, sorta just chilling with free-to-view stuff until I finally pull the trigger on some subscriptions. Ghost in the Shell holds up surprisingly well. Kinda missed seeing this all the time pre-Toonami. Dunno what deal [as] got to basically have permanent streaming rights, but I'll take it. Incidentally, the original Laughing Man incident was supposed to happen earlier this year...
