@Turdicus@coolboymew Nah I forget the medical term but it is a type of cancer that attacks his immune system. Kinda funny since he spent years complaining about the internet giving him cancer aids and now he actually has it.
@coolboymew@Turdicus Yes, he is doing two shows on the 31st and then retiring. He finally revealed what he was sick with and it is basically cancer aids. I have no idea how he made it through six hours of superchats this weekend but he did.
@coolboymew@Elfie It wasn't that, the story was just really badly written.
Let me give you an example. I read this web novel called Spearman and Black Cat. Shit is legit amazing. The author is one of the most creative authors I have ever read and has made this elaborate world with all these incredibly unique characters, races, theology, and an insanely detailed history. He frequently goes on these extended detours to explore other characters, the past, and world changing events. Never once does it get boring or detract from the main story since the execution is so excellent that it feeds into and enhances the main story. I haven't even bothered to look into the LN adaptation since the WN is just that well written. If the author had one flaw it is that he tends to go off into exceedingly long descriptions of the titular black cat from the titular spearman's point of view. I am extremely inclined to believe that the author doesn't get out much and really only has their pet cat as a companion owing to how the story dips into purple prose for pages of almost every chapter describing the cat's grace, fuzziness, and personality. I mean I get that it helps keep the cat as an actual character rather than a plot device for the MC, but lol this nigga loves his kitties a little too much.
@coolboymew@Elfie Mind you I just read the web novels but the writing was unimaginative, the plot was contrived, and the execution was sloppy. It was like the author had a half decent idea but lacked the talent to present it in a way that wasn't ham-fisted and trite.
@coolboymew@Elfie Oh Re:Zero was dogshit from the start. Still blows my mind that shit got adapted from the start. Literally the only good thing to come out of it was meme Mastodon AMVs
@Elfie@coolboymew The manga ending felt kind of the same way if I remember. The first part was very well done, and then the second part kind of felt like it was going somewhere even if it had a lot of lackluster moments. The third part felt like very rushed and disjointed. I just kinda remember thinking to myself that it seemed like the author had a rough idea of what they wanted the story to be, but by the time it got there they had no real idea on how to execute it and just wanted the series to end.
@coolboymew Well at least I found out why he is so animated. The Garfield/Ghostbusters connection really hit on James' specific taste in autism so he was probably enjoyed talking about that.
@coolboymew It's weird because the more I watch this episode the more it sounds like James is reading a Mike script. The whole section of the Week of Garfield review where he goes into the Contra reference and talks about Liz coming over with the frogs sounds like a Mike bit.
@coolboymew Strangely enough he actually looks animated like a human being instead of the dead inside James we have pretty much exclusively seen since the movie.
@coolboymew It's the same reason he quit the roll of Superman. The actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson had it in his contract for the roll of Black Adam that Black Adam couldn't be defeated by Superman. Cavill, being a giga autist, REEEEEd about it and quit all future DCU films.
