I watched it last night....I always rewatch Dingo. Archer is the same jokes for...what is it, like 13 seasons now

Not really an unpopular opinion but a fact that too many delusional people deny, and that's the best show to ever air on AS is Venture Bros.

I've never really watched Venture Bros but always wanted to.

As far as non-anime AS-shows, my picks are kinda out there: Moral Orel and Xavier.

AI art is going to be a new art form and will inevitably destroy the stranglehold corporations have on media.

Taking existing material and transforming it is not theft. Fair Use includes transformative work as a protected right. If it is clearly a new work, even if it contains remnants of existing art, it is not theft.

AI art on its own is not inherently bad. There are good and bad applications of it.

Divorced from industrial or economic implications for the near future, I have not heard a single criticism of AI art as a creative medium, a meduim in its infancy no less, that do not come off as deluded out of touch ravings of pretentious cringe goblins too scared to become obsolete, neglecting that one art form existing doesn't negate the existence of all before it. I play video games and have read a book or two. One doesn't pose some existential threat to the other. AI art won't make painting impossible, you fucking idiots.

A lot of movies would be so much better if they were only about an hour long.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. It's just a tool*. What matters is how it's used.

I should've posted this last Tuesday but better late than never.

Trick or treating was the worst thing about Halloween as a kid . While I'll love the idea of getting free candy I don't having to walk in cold rainy ass weather every year to get. And also having to wear a heat coat over my costume every kinda defeats the purpose of dressing up. Looking back I would much rather have gone to a Halloween party over trick or treating

[Icarus27k]

The Walking Dead is unreadable and unwatchable. The best thing about it was working at a comic shop and seeing all the customers excited about the latest issue whenever it was released. That was kind of fun. 

[Icarus27k]

The last issue, which came as a surprise, was a real big deal at the comic shop. But of course, "last issue" is like "the final Rolling Stones concert tour". Publishing right now is a series called Walking Dead Deluxe, a reprinting of the series in color and extra stories, etc.

speed limits are bullshit. i only ever look at a speed limit if i see a cop, but even then i usually have an idea of what it is on whatever road I'm driving on and don't really need it then either. i don't need a sign to tell me how fast is safe to drive in a residential area because i drive like a kid could jump out in front of me at any second anyways, which is to say very carefully. I've never actually had that happen but I've definitely avoided hitting countless small critters. the bunnies on the street i live on are as suicidal as the ones out in the desert where i learned to drive and I've not hit a single one while living here. i don't see how a speed limit is to going to make up for being careful and ready to avoid hurting something.

 

and while I'm on the subject, I'm gonna contradict myself: it's absurd to actually expect that kind of driving competency from every single person. that doesn't mean speed limits are useful after all, it means we shouldn't have a society structured to where every single person needs a car to survive. it's absolutely absurd to think that could ever be safe or responsible and even the processes we have now are not enough. we just accept traffic fatalities like they aren't preventable, but we don't need car centered infrastructure in the first fucking place.

seriously, fuck car centered infrastructure

I have to disagree. If you have the right equipment, it is definitely worth the upgrade.

The only genuinely funny thing Trey Parker and Matt Stone have created so far is Team America: World Police.

Ok, time for a more controversial one: I am content with rising home prices. This is disincentivizing people from starting families of their own, thus leading to perhaps one of the more humane ways of population decline. There are simply too many people in the world. There are finite resources and we must share this space with other animals. Obviously, mass murdering people is out of the question, and a government policy like China's one-child policy can lead to a horrible demographic demise. Just make starting a family too expensive. Voila.

I want to give this one both a heart and a sad react. Well done.

The best parts about Regular Show were there...um, regular parts. They were funny and unique. 

I often tuned out when the supernatural or surreal parts started. They were not as interesting. Amatuer surrealism isn't good apparently.

[Icarus27k]

The older animated short that Regular Show is based on is brilliant. It's about these two guys (characters that would eventually become Mordecai and Benson) working a late night shift at a convenience store. It's very Clerks-like but more fun to watch because it's animated.

are you for real the only games that was good for is Mario 64 or similar or first-person shooters you can't do any flight sims of the damn thing which there was a few arcade style flight games for the n-64 most notably Rogue Squadron the Star Wars game

[Icarus27k]

I read the 4-issue miniseries. Pretentious time traveling AND multiversal dreck with a dumb villain and ugly art. Penciller Hitch couldn't draw a human face right to save his life. 

I am concerned about the relaunch of the Ultimate universe.

 

[Icarus27k]

Writer Hickman was responsible for re-inventing the mutants of Marvel a few years ago in the House of X/Powers of X event. 

Imagine the X-Men, but you turn the whole franchise into a bleak sci fi tale similar to 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's intended to be an epic but it just sucks the life out of them and takes away everything positive. 

 

For some reason a lot of people liked it. 

[The_annoying_one]

Very few movie franchises should last more than three movies.

[Seight]

It's dumb that a team like James Madison can't go to the postseason without asking the NCAA for permission if they move up a Division and are already clearly one of the best teams in their conference.
