Gonna be honest, the first time I saw this post my eyes slid right off it because of how the thumbnail looks.
My brain tries to protect itself from Bad Youtube Content by blocking out thumbnails in that style.

All the ways that Eternal is worse than 2016 felt like clueless paper pushers asking for more things to be added because they don't understand what made 2016 so good.
"How about platforming? How about Lore? Nerds love convoluted lore! What about Huge Guts!" The 'huge guts' part made me cringe

Doom 2016 was free to express contempt for the evil of corporatism, but the sequels were hijacked by that same corporatism and added all this formless magical speed and sorcery bullshit because executives assume that's appealing to nerds

Goro would probably hack the Secsystem to screw over people he doesn't like. Doors closing while someone is in the middle, guy who hits on his female coworkers only gets cold water for his shower. It could blow his cover but he can't Not do something to people he hates

Every time Kenny Omega does a V-trigger it looks like he's gonna be brought up on 2nd degree murder charges.

Wrestling Senpai, strikes are easy to do, so why don't wrestlers focus on making strikes look good, doing them and selling their impact

In my heart, the True Vanilla ending of Persona 5, the last thing they should steal is the complacency of the people of Tokyo. Become true anti-heroes, real scoundrels by liberating people of their comforting illusions, and plunging them into the knowledge of the suffering and injustice around them

But isn't that a kind of distorted thinking in and of itself? He's a person who has been hurt and wronged, and there was nothing wrong with him to begin with. A child isn't born "curses" he gets cursed by the people around him.

directly threatened? If the Phantom Thieves asked their big, Palace targets in real life whether they would rather die or have their hearts changed, does that make the situation any better?
Goro seems to keep from having a palace because he accepts that he is evil and doing evil things.

Like, a whole other plane of reality acknowledges when someone's thinking is 'disordered'. That's crazy, philosophically, existentially.
Also, does someone have the "right" to have a distorted heart? Can the things the Phantom Thieves do be considered acceptable because they were always being

These are all really good thoughts, and I'm always happy to see someone that truly believes in rehabilitave justice over retributive.
I really like how Changing Hearts works as a kind of wish fulfillment, because it also prompts so many questions as well as being Cool and Edgy

We as the audience are given privileged information about Joel's past, so we can make judgements about his motivations.
Does he rescue Ellie because he wants to truly be a protective father to her? Is he doing it because he always wanted to kill the soldier who killed his kid, years ago?

Heh, I'm not well-versed in Kantian deontology to be sure how he would feel about tactically slaughtering a hospital of people to prevent a killing, but I do know he would consider lying to Ellie about it to be Wrong.
The virtue of being a father is an interesting discussion to me.

if you look at it Consequentialist style, you just shouldn't murder people like that, you should take the risk of confronting them by talking and seeing if there's another way.
Virtue ethics style, he made that decision out of anger and pain, and did not respect Ellie enough to get permission.

It's a tricky situation, because if he tried to question the Fireflies about how certain they were that they could get a cure, they might not answer him or lie, or if he asked Ellie if she wanted to sacrifice her life and she said no, he would need the element of surprise to succeed in escaping.

What does this mean, "Joel was right"?. Like, his pain was true and deep, so he was allowed to kill all those unsuspecting doctors and scientists? He loved Eli as a father, so he doesn't need to ask her how she would like to spend her life, and can lie to her?

For years I would describe getting overstimulated or strange social misunderstandings and then end the story with "but I'm not autistic".
It finally clicked for me when I read the experiences of diagnosed autistic women and they mirrored my own.

I can't say I'm any sort of expert at plating, but this looks totally wrong to me.
The pink thing looks like a raw tongue, and the green orbs are not evenly spaced? I can't say what's exactly wrong with the rest of it, but it seems bad

Why do we have a man who loves corpses and carrion more than people in charge of health for our country...why are we tolerating this

Do you need to be married to be an acceptable person to society, or do you need to understand that societal norms and mores require critical interrogation, not unconscious adherence.
Do you feel embarassed and ashamed around your friends for being single and/or a virgin?

Think about why you want to be in a relationship. Do you want to forge a loving relationship, or do you want someone to take care of you? Do you desperately need to fuck someone, or are you touch-starved and will be depressed and irritable until you get a minutes long hug?

So thankful for this gif; I only caught that move out of the corner of my eye, and it looked like someone had started clipping into the other.

I've done meditation practice for a few years, and have learned a bit about Vipassana Buddhism, and the meditation practices of it, and I have to tell you.....you are successfully meditating!
Simply noticing the thoughts arising; it's like working out your ability to concentrate and notice stuff

More than just being the codifier for the Japanese "generic western fantasy setting", DQ games make Going On A Quest With A Party seem like the best thing a person could possibly do. A beautiful dream that persists even into adulthood.
