The Bocchi the Rock anime vs the Manga. The Manga is by no menas bad, but it is a 4 panel gag affair which has very little of the dynamism and weird jokes of the anime. I really want them to make more of it.

You’re HUGE for a 6 yea r old!

Is this country specific? The EU has existing law in many countries that allows users to filter out ads.

What an office really needs is more sitting and more being run over in the hallways by nerds on mobility scooters.

I only steal from corporations, so no.

I have seen that dojin

Removed by mod

Yes. By her standards that’s neutrality.

Oh no, the AI will be even more insufferable now

Oh neat

Fair, but I don’t trust these authors to do that right so they best just don’t do it.

Wow Jacobin, thank you for this keen insight. You figured out what no one else could.

Frieren is not an Isekai though.

Without having seen this: Most Isekai are purely power trip wish fulfillment and they are diametrically opposed to having stakes, yet act like there are stakes. This makes them terrible. Don’t make the protagonist OP, or make the protagonists OPness so over the top it becomes funny and the Isekai can be good. There, I fixed it.

Also: don’t do slavery.

My pet theory is that if you do the cool kick the door in ending, that is actually just Vs brain being overwritten by Johnny, because yes indeed Johnny already did all that and V’s consciousness is just trying to integrate the memories as it gets overwritten.

But yea, I agree, V in 2077 basically has no character besides the most basic-ass nothing of ‘am badass, want money’. That is why everyone loves Jackie, he oozes character. That is why his death stings so much, the most interesting and layered character in the whole thing dies with him.

To also be clear though: I was talking about the TTRPG, not the computer game ^^

Disney employees are highly trained and only receive the highest of minimum wage, so they will happily die to save tourists trapped in a fake spaceship.

I refused to get a Microsoft account for Minecraft and it was a good decision.

Welp, time to do it again.

The fact that the new Cyberpunk game, even in it’s revised edition, has no rules for increasing your attributes with XP, should tell you everything you need to know about Pondsmith. Like I get it you are supposed to use cyberware, but the game itself is like ‘corpo bigwigs and street legends have 20 more attribute points then you lol’ and then doesn’t elaborate how you are ever supposed to get to that level. I find that quite cringe.

He is mainly known today because he was a TTRPG writing machine back in the day, who would write any game at the drop of a hat. Like, he wrote the Dragonball game, Teenagers from outer Space, Dream Park and so so much more. None of it is really good, but you only had get hit once with a thing you enjoy by him to remember him.

War. War never changes. The Romans waged war to gather slaves and wealth. Spain built an empire from it’s lust for gold and territory. Hitler shaped a battered Germany into an economic superpower. But war never changes.

In the 21st century, war was still waged over the resources that could be acquired. Only this time, the spoils of war were also it’s weapons. Petroleum and uranium. For these resources, China would invade Alaska. The US would annex Canada. And the European commonwealth would dissolve into quarreling, bickering nation states bent on controlling the last remaining resources on earth.

In 2077 the storm of world war had come again. In two brief hours, most of the planet was reduced to cinders and from the ashes of nuclear devastation, a new civilization would struggle to arise. A few were able to reach the relative safety of the large underground vaults. Your family was part of that group that entered Vault 13. Imprisoned safely behind the large vault door, under a mountain of stone, a generation has lived without knowledge of the outside world. Life in the vault is about to change.

Pondsmith is a hack. I wouldn’t expect him to get the deeper meaning of anything.
