And I didnt even downvote your original comment because I liked the idea of having a discussion on this because you are not wrong to find the MC grating.
You have your own sonder and I respect that. I appreciate you giving me a place to put my thoughts in this discussion by starting it. And yeah, some of us with our own flavor of life will take different things from it. Its why I think Steins;Gate is great at being art even if it isn’t always easy to watch.
So the point is that he is a nearing adult chunibyo (person with grand delusions that is somewhat common in Japan that is very strict and leaves young people economically behind) he is supposed to be weird and making stuff up because he doesnt care much for the real world. He is bad at being a “real” person.
But, surprise surprise, everything he is making up is real, and he gets everything he could want. A grand conspiracy, evil organizations, even stuff pertaining to his friends, changed to his desired fantasies. He gets it all and is asked only to give up the “real world” which seems easy until it comes with actual loss of it.
It invites you to watch the tragedy of this person trying to find who they are when either version of himself makes him unhappy. And then it is wrapped in the SciFi story where one of the best parts of the show is that everything is relevant to the plot by being true to the characters and their world. Lots of little details to map out how they all work together.
All to say I actually like the tedium. It shows how easy it is to stumble downwards into delusion, how it feels simple and boring unti l you are in it, and then how painful it can be to come back out the other side and how hard it can be to be the same person when you do.
Well now we know what the new Nazi ideology is. I guess it is different than making a blue eyed blonde haired race but I think that was possible with inbreeding.
When we have a president who isn’t smart enough to consider politics and wants to “do something”
We are about to see how much might the USA’s military industrial complex has. We are up to kidnapped and sniped in a bunker for country leaders.
I don’t really care, do you?
Bullshit or Spoons is fantastic
Made of plastic and costs $495.
Together with this “eternal playlist” it seems like yet another way to show max brand simping and that you intend to go in it when you die… Cause Spotify will certainly be around eternally.
I’m gonna assume not rotoscoped
That’s batshit and such a newgrounds thing to do to make mutated incestuous cats voiced by terrible people.
Definitely weird, hard to say if it is in good taste or bad. Very Edmund level of fucked up.
Don’t fake it. Be honest.
I dunno, that has been what I have been doing and nothing kills the light in their eyes like honesty.
Because it only reduces hunger. They can ignore that they don’t feel hungry and keep eating.
Also eating less for a period of time because you don’t feel hunger then returning the feelings of hunger does not change behavior in long term.
I know people taking it.
No it doesnt change habits. It makes them eat less which they even can ignore. And off it or on it they eat the same things and complain about the stomach aches.
vast majority of votes
Pfffttt… 51.8% and as if it wasnt a bunch of old assholes who saw a bus and didnt think it would impact their holiday to complain about not being able to retire to Spain immediately after.
We don’t all have to talk like we know everything all the time.
Sounds like the league of nations just collapsed
I think they think sexual dominance is a form of dominating their fear, but eventually it doesnt get them hard anymore so they go perverse and wish to be dominated by what they fear to give them stimulas that they lack from years of wearing out their dopamine receptors. But then they internalize the idea that all trans people must want to fuck them and they become only sexual objects.
But hey, that’s just a theory, a fuck theory!
And Trump’s adderall addiction is…
Different?
Its like they are preemptively thanking him for saving capitalism because they believe he will.
Its wild how much the wealthy are willing to believe fantasy as much as the peasants.
Nothing is ever over. Even if they hadn’t succeeded this is pretty incredible thing to even try to do.
Its certainly rare anywhere or else we wouldn’t still be talking about robin hood much.
Its real neat they tried it though.
Yeah, if you pay attention you will see Okabe gets his every wish. So that when suddenly he has to pick what level of pain he is ok with for payment, it puts him in hell. And since he is a loner and doesnt think of everyone else he doesnt have anyone else to talk to to the point that he doesnt even realize that everyone else is still remembering what he did and that his actions have never been without consequences. And he has to live up to them to undo them.
But yeah wild how the wrapper on a story can make such a difference, I mean this is the same story as Its a wonderful Life and yet the method of telling it makes it completely different and makes a slightly different take on the answer. The author clearly thinks its still ok to be absurd with reality at the end as long as you take it seriously.
By the way I don’t know Maebashi Witches but I do love Studio Sunrise and how they do personal stories, so it will go on the list after I catch up to Frieren.
