Just finished Metroid Fusion earlier, started Metroid Zero Mission. Replaying both. Probably going to get to the GBA Castlevania games soon as well.
Although I'm starting to get an itch for a Phantasy Star run again so by this time next week I'll probably be busy with that. Thinking of going straight to Phantasy Star 3 this time. I've played PS1 the most by far and PS2 multiple times as well but I've only fully completed PS3 once so far.
Absolutely. Also Power Rangers for having a diverse cast that includes girls who kick ass too, and Captain Planet for having both a diverse cast and ecological consciousness. And X-Men for the same reasons they shat on X-Men '97. And Sonic the Hedgehog for being anti-authoritarian and having little PSAs about tolerance and being a good person. And Justice League Unlimited for showcasing female heroes just as much as male heroes. Powerpuff Girls for obvious reasons.
Back then they called everything they didn't like "satanic" or "evil" anyway. Before they realised they could trick idiot kids into joining their cause by calling it "woke" and packaging it as rebellion instead of pearl clutching and puritanical nonsense.
Kinda glad that I haven't got that far then lol. Although one day I'd like to catch up with season 3 and Sinners of the System just for completion sake. But I'm definitely not as amped about it as I was with season 1 anymore, so I'll get to it some time. It's just not exactly high priority.
I don't actually watch a lot of anime but reading this question, my immediate answer is PSYCHO-PASS. Season 1 is a masterpiece of a story regardless of the medium IMO. Philip K. Dick tier.
Then they carried on with it instead of stopping there. The movie was ok, season 2 was meh and the villain was a bit much. And I haven't even been able to bring myself to watch any other content from it. Not sure I'd want to because I prefer to pretend that sometimes it's about art and not always about money and that they stopped after telling the story they wanted to tell in season 1 without turning it into a franchise.
Not just MAGAs, this is on the whole world. I feel like they've been talking about and warning about global warming for all 39 years of my life now and most of these clown nations still have vague targets set for 2030, 2040 etc. Head clown Trump might be helping speed it up now but no one has approached this with any particular urgency. Our world leaders are just as effective at fighting climate change as they've been fighting misinformation on Twitter and Facebook.
I personally think that if there is a future where we write history books, our current crop of leaders in the world today are going to go down as the absolute worst and most useless sacks of shit, that sold out their people to both fascism and climate change.
It's all good lol. I've definitely come across the MAGA types that like to go on about how they were 'nationalist socialists', emphasis on the socialist part. But they were about as socialist as North Korea is democratic. So it's fair to make that assumption these days because we're living in times of idiocracy. So next time I make a comment like that I'll try to be clearer.
Ah maybe I could've worded that better. I wasn't trying to say that the nazis were some strange breed of leftist. I was saying that a leftist government would allow different schools of thought to exist whether they're left wing or not, with the exception of nazism.
Yeah honestly my sense of time passed is just really terrible as well. To me it feels like ages ago but I'm pretty sure it only came out last year some time. The other day I was just about to complain about how long Sweet Tooth season 3 took until I looked it up and saw there's only a 1 year gap between season 2 and 3 lol (still need to catch up though).
I need to look Ella Purnell up. I thought she was great but I haven't watched anything else with her in it yet.
I feel like those people are never going to vote though. The communists and socialists will be too busy going on about bourgeoisie this and that and won't be satisfied unless Marx himself is running because no one else is good enough. And the anarchists will go going "why should I take this opportunity to fight fascists if I'm not getting my perfect anarchist utopia out of it? Don't vote, it'll go against your perfect idealism." Just like they did this last time around.
I think that Bernie Sanders showed us that people who don't have ideological sticks up their asses will be willing to vote for something better that gets us all a little bit closer to utopia, even if it's not perfect yet. And as a non-American, I think AOC has that same infectious energy. But of course, as a non-American, I might also be underestimating how much Americans hate women and brown people.
Yeah fuck them lol. I'd like to see how their platform does without users. Then it'll just be a fun little coding project for them, nothing more. There's already other options. At least Piefed is actively working on adding missing features and improving the end user experience. And isn't stuck in 1999.
It's very cool that they built this platform and much appreciated. But if they're then going to turn around and act like trans people shouldn't be concerned about transphobia if it comes from one of their own, because we should all be grateful and thankful to our overlords instead, then they can shove their fkn half baked platform.
One of the head honchos on ml had some rant about trans people being part of the bourgeoisie agenda or some shit. Which of course, raises eyebrows about how this crowd in general was so against voting and standing up to the guy who is currently actively stripping transgender rights. I'm sure you're not all transphobes but the fact that this comes from someone at the head of a community, does make one look at the big push to not vote a little differently and makes it look like there's more reasons for it than just being too cool for school.
And that's just the difference between the right and the left anyway. With the exception of extremes like nazism, a leftist government would allow churches and let these fkn clowns do whatever they want to do in their free time and live their lives the way they want. Whereas a right wing government will force their religion onto people whether they want it or not and strip generalized groups of people of their rights because apparently their imaginary friend wants them to do that.
If only the big bad left would be a little less tolerant of delusions and stupidity, maybe the world would be a better place. Because the moment the delusional stupid people get the chance, they prove to all of us why they never deserved tolerance in the first place. Seems all too clear to me now that religious conservatives simply cannot be trusted to play nicely with everyone else and should never be allowed near positions of power ever again, just like nazis.
Or a reality star and news reader. Even if they weren't both cooked in their heads, it's still a reality star running a country and a news reader running the military.
