One of the main things that drove me out of the Star Wars fandom first was the midi-chlorian-estimating fantasy-football-league-like bullshit that kept going on and on and on about who would win in a fight. It was fucking everywhere and the only thing at the time that came close to being as bazinga in the fandom was the "Grey Jedi" plague where a bunch of "I want cool powers but no harsh labels" jackoffs kept rediscovering space :libertarian-approaching: ideology about how to do anything they want without consequences or even negative perceptions.
DISCLAIMER: Rogue and/or ex Jedi aren't the same thing as "Grey" Jedi and I think it's downright a moral duty for any comrade with Force powers to resist the liberal space cops and their child kidnapping and indoctrination bullshit to make more liberal space cops to serve a corrupt oligarchy.
I'll have my own take: Star Wars is cool as hell when you ditch Jedi and turn it into a western.
And yes, even Jedi can be cool if you turn them into 7 Samurai-styled dirt bag ronin. See Antifa super-soldier Kyle Katarn.
Andor is legitimately one of the best series I've seen in a long time.
If Batman had enough time to prepare, could he beat the writer of his comic book?
Dragon Ball even added the scouters to then go “power scaling ain’t shit!”
I find myself full of rage every time I hear the phrase power scaling, it must be my activation phrase.
As the whole point of “can Batman beat Superman” Is “under the right conditions, anything is possible”.
The hard part is making the fight interesting and satisfying.
They hook you with the theory, then reel you in with the gay fanfic.
Disco Elysium mostly led me to feel pretty bleak about politics and more optimistic about insects.
To be fair, you have to have a very high class consciousness to understand Disco Elysium. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of the immortal science most of the jokes will go over a typical player's head. There's also HDB's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his copotypes draw heavily from Honoré de Balzac works, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE UNDER CAPITAL. As a consequence people who dislike Disco Elysium truly ARE fascists- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in HDB's existential "Horrific Necktie" dialogue, which itself is a cryptic reference to fascism/fashion dialectics. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Robert Kurvitz's genius wit unfolds itself on their monitor. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Kitsuragi tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 CC points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
Reading that in my head in the game's main narrator voice makes it funnier. :kitsupogi:
The former is less dumb and a better way to spend your time. No want wants jargon you dug up from rambling culture and ideology academics like Spinoza, you grasped onto it because it sounded quirky in the first place. It is literally more worthwhile to engage directly with the theory of Naruto and discuss that with people.
