@SimplyJuSensei @LumiovZardt I would argue that alabasta was really the start of him sowing the seeds of the future and skypeia was the time to really open up the story.
English
Being an older reader gives me the top down clarity to understand how much Oda decided to pump up the story going into Skypeia. The Skypeia arc is when Oda decided that 250 chapters wasn’t enough and Editorial agreed.
Everything afterwards builds towards that larger narrative

@Rothmus Then proceeds to blame you for not catching it sooner.

@YellowFlashGuy >draws sexy woman

Most twitter one piece 'fans' are performative, I swear.

@TN_20_ I know, but you know there is that one person who will fight two world wars for the pokemon company and would claim that Champions will kill showdown. I can almost promise you they exist.

@EMemetron Me personally I never even thought that

@EMemetron @Vaksi___v2 @wwarrior_1 What do you mean biased ? Do you think that the judge was a tectone hate watcher lol? He lost a civil case even after consulting with like 8 different lawyers. There was nothing out of the ordinary that would suggest any bias against the guy. He just lost the case, that’s it

@vxunderground I saw that one post talking about Vim local code execution. Forgive my stupidity, but is Vim still safe or is this another "Nothing ever happens"

@ClairvoyantEye1 Just watch Imu have the same (or similar) skin color to nightmare luffy.
English
Bro, who does Morj think he is
Mr.0@luffvmz
Idk if this is official or not but I think Imu coloring has been revealed
English
@Vaksi___v2 @wwarrior_1 I did see the result, but it sounded like the whole court process was very messy and biased. I want to know if he actually earned that sentence. I know Legal Mindset covered it, but watching some of it still makes it kinda unclear. I'd rather know that hate blindly.

@EMemetron @wwarrior_1 He lost. The protective order was approved, he was asked to pay $15,000 for reasonable attorney fees and he has a firearms affidavit that prevents him from owning any guns for 10 years (punishable by imprisonment of 5-10 years and a fine of $250,000). He's raped.

@vxunderground For Curiosity's sake, do people use alternatives at all, or do you shoot yourself in the foot if you try something like gitlabs?

There is some sort of dark irony that I've seen multiple completely legitimate cybersecurity researchers be banned from GitHub.
These are researchers who are verified, clean, years upon years (sometimes decades) of experience. They're well known people.
Their code and reasoning for their ban is usually unexplained or deemed "malicious".
Then some angry nerd drops a Microsoft zero day exploit on GitHub, a platform owned by Microsoft, yet it remains up.

@Mamone_1 Some one piece 'fans' are illiterate as shit.

This fandom is so hopeless💔💔. Anime-onlys are gonna have even worse interpretations on this

@AnyaNyabyss Sit in a different room, in the dark, with nothing distracting. Look at a wall and think of all the details of that wall. Nothing else. You'll get mentally tired after a while and will either go to bed or sleep right there.

@SenseiAnother I am a believer that your players can't do everything, and that good. However, I hate when people set up what should be a challenging, but doable encounter only to make it impossible because 'they didnt do it right'. This is why the pathfinder's '+10 to crit, -10 to fail' works.

There is a big problem with entitled DMs who think they can act like giggling trolls just because there are fewer DMs than players. Players need to learn they can just leave.
DMs are already gods in their game settings, they control the reality within the game. If instead of trying to help players have a good time, they try to "win" against the players or punish players with "let's see how badly you fail because I'm punishing you for what I, the god of this world, arbitrarily declared a wrong idea, instead of just communicating"... Then you know you're dealing with mentally ill person who power trips on players instead of booking therapy.
I promise you guys, it's easier to find good groups than you think. You don't to stay with shitty DMs until you develop enough of a Stockholm Syndrome to start liking shitty games. In the past I hopped through several bad games in a single month to find a good group where we played a campaign for two years. Stop rewarding power trippers with daddy issues just because you're told DMs are scarce.

@VeryDMonstrous I think the problem with most subversion is some creators think subverting anything is good. Using subversion to raise stakes without it feeling cheap is what you should be aiming for imo.
English
Subversion of expectations is all the rage nowadays, and often done poorly. Yet it is not bad on it's own.
When handled carefully and with consideration, it does actually spice things up.
This was the case in Star Fox: Assault. The conflict between Venom and Corneria had run it's course. When the game starts, Oikkoney was in command of what was left of his uncle's forces (Most of whom were in it for the money). For the Cornerian Fleet and StarFox, this is clean up. The end to a very long war and legacy of evil.
Then along comes a threat from outside the Lylat system: The Aparoids. A swarm of powerful cybernetic organisms.
They are truly alien, motivations unclear, and power even greater than that of Andross. They arrive in force, catching all in the Lylat system off guard, and begin conquering whole worlds. The script was now flipped on it's head.
Even though StarFox team managed to score several victories (including the destroying the entire invasive species), none of the battles were easy. Each extracted a sizable toll on the defenders.
The devs really did a great job of showing that the Aparoids were a tremendous, distinct threat.
ChronoKatie - Now Playing Nier Replicant@ChronoKatie
Star Fox Assault was so real for starting the game with the Andross boss and then having it get immediately killed by the new enemy. They were like, "No no, we're not doing that again."

@rinkouashelia So is this going to be some lia x sakana ao3 fanfiction, or is sakana in danger?

@EMemetron He interviewed the author of the book Project Hail Mary that recently debuted as a movie and people are freaking out about the author talking to a "chud" like drinker.
English
Umm, I'm sorry Boulder King...Again, its rich that the whole tirade about "grift" is coming from you.
You burned bridges and alienated practically your entire viewerbase and fanbase at the time, because you did the underhanded tactic of false-reporting various people's videos because they criticised you.
Instead of trying to regain any semblance of goodwill or reputation you very much lost from doing the Youtuber's taboo - you decided to pander to the opposite side's audience, hoping they either are not aware or do not care about what you did.
Personally, I doubt you believe in ANYTHING that you say considering how you manage to completely 180 your opinions so easily. I can say with some level of certainty that if the "chud audience" you used to have wanted you back for whatever reason, you would 180 your views all over again.
I personally think, if Critical Drinker is a "grifter", you are doubly so.
Matt Jarbo@mjarbo
"The Message." That’s the grift. That’s the Critical Drinker's entire business model summed up in a two-word calling card. But it's not just him. It's Nerdrotic. It's Geeks and Gamers. It's the Side Scrollers podcast, Sargon of Akkad, and that entire right-wing pop-culture outrage ecosystem. They don't even have to define what it is, or, like most anti-woke reviewers, actually care enough to engage with the narrative mechanics of a movie or game. It’s just a convenient straw man. The grift runs on this manufactured outrage. Instead of offering a real community to guys who miss the simplicity of the 80s and 90s, they offer a catchphrase. They blame a changing, diverse pop culture landscape to keep you isolated in the dark, hunting for a reason to be angry at a screen for two hours rather than just participating in society. This is a necessary cycle to break if you ever want to actually enjoy escapism again. Is "The Message" a real, foundational critique of modern storytelling? God no. But does it work to keep people angry and clicking? Hell yes it does. The problem isn't with modern filmmakers, it's with these outrage peddlers who DO NOT HAVE their fingers on the pulse of society at all. Give it a few years, and they’ll all be relegated to Third Rate, small-time comic conventions, sitting at fold-out tables where isolated guys pay them five dollars just to "say the line."

@AGCast4 Im using it right now. My only complaint right now is there is no way (as far as I can find) to have the taskbar on multiple screens. That and for some reason the lock key doesnt do what I expect it to do.
