@Eiregoat@Hyolobrika@coolboymew@mangeurdenuage@maxmustermann@noyoushutthefuckupdad@Alex He calls the Nintendo and Sega console wars as his own personal Vietnam. It is a really shitty book, but fortunately it is extremely short. It is a peak into the mind of a middle-aged midwit manchild with unwarranted delusions of adequacy. Also you should read up the Lindsey Ellis saga it is :blobchef:
@maxmustermann@Alex@coolboymew@mangeurdenuage@noyoushutthefuckupdad Even MovieBob who is a giga Mario autist that shits all over everything that doesn't conform to his arrested development idealized vision of what Mario should be (SM3) said it was solid comedy even if he was seething that it wasn't pandering directly to him.
@coolboymew@sickburnbro There was a thread about it a couple of days ago. I thought it was a hoax at first but the Pentagon admitted it was real, but disputed the fact that it showed the Ukrainians were getting absolutely slaughtered while the reporting on Russia's casualties was massively overblown. They claimed that the numbers were faked, but it wasn't like it was a pdf file that was digitally altered, they were photographs of internal top secret documents. Also the US government wants the economy to tank and for people to lose their jobs so that they can try to force them into enlisting so their families don't starve.
@coolboymew Looks pretty good. I hope they don't rush it and follow the story all the way through to the end. It is a good story as well as being funny.
@Moon@coolboymew@hfaust I have my old Marvel Mangaverse volume back from like 2000 and the art is really really try hard at point, but there are some artists who made splash pages that were as good or better than the style they were trying to ape. It was a really weird time in American comics when they were just coming off of the peak of their popularity and selling more than they ever had before, but recognizes the superiority of even middling Japanese mangaka over American comic artists and felt threatened by it. I think a lot of them dove so hard into the insanity that would come specifically because they doubted their own talents and needed and ideological edge to pull more in.
The old Avalanche comics like Warrior Nun and Goldigger were bottom of the barrel and that is why they were so quick to jump on the right think train, but some of the most talented artists like Joe Mad just took a break and focused on other things to legitimize themselves and avoided the worst excesses of social signaling.
