I'm a little excited to see what they have planned though. BotW was a total change-up from what had been the standard Zelda game model for the past twenty years or so. Odyssey on the other hand, was very much a return to traditional Mario game design with new stuff in the higher-level mechanics. With Pokemon I wonder how much they'll opt to keep the traditional gameplay model in place or choose to introduce a different way to play Pokemon.
>"His face appeared slightly orange," writes Mr Comey, "with bright white half-moons under his eyes where I assumed he placed small tanning goggles, and impressively coifed, bright blond hair, which upon close inspection looked to be all his. The way he describes him is like a childrens book character. Orange face and bright hair that is impressively all his.
He sounds like he rather enjoys his anonymity, for the most part. I think it would probably be pretty nice to have the resources he earned when he was younger without all the nuisance of the fame that usually comes with it.

the only mistake zero two made was letting those humans live tbh
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Zero2
Anno
Lashing out like that and getting erratic was definitely a mistake. Regardless of whether you're human or a monster that's just being shitty. That's pretty much what Hiro was trying to get across to her even if he did it in the most asinine way possible.
Kirara π
to be fair, zero two doesn't have the social skills or history to be expected to act differently what happened was tragic but her behavior was completely reasonable given her history and the way she's been treated goro kind of understood that and so did some of the others but ichigo was completely selfish and unreasonable in the way she acted if ichigo hadn't treated zero two so horribly, none of that would have happened and eventually zero two could have made progress towards socially acceptable behavior an autistic kid isn't at fault if you grab their hand and they hit you to get away
>parents have a room filled with paintings titled after their children >everys ingle one is them doing it
Anno
>>471998 A lack of social skills and a history that how many people know of though. Hiro, to a degree. But the rest of the kids don't know the full breadth of her issues, and Ichigo was coming off of someone working to convince her that Zero-Two was a heartless monster. If you can't blame an autistic person for hitting someone to get away, you can't blame the person grabbing their hand either. People make all sorts of mistakes based off their imperfect information or their nature. What happened with them wasn't the fault of any specific, they all made mistakes for one reason or another.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>never enter this room kids >then one day the enter it
>>472007 They were all aware of how she is, even if they don't know why. Goro and some of the others were able to understand that. Ichigo probably understood that considering how intelligent she is. I can absolutely blame a person for grabbing an autistic person's hand. In fact, typically in instances like that, everyone blames the person who grabbed the autistic person. If you kick a rattlesnake and it bites you, you don't blame the rattlesnake for biting you. Zero Two isn't a human. She may be like a human, but she's different from humans. It's obvious that she's not normal, even if you think she is human like Ichigo might. She was being incredibly selfish even though she was most likely fully aware what she was doing.
She was already aware that Zero Two wasn't going to eat Hiro. She was using that as an excuse, but she even admitted that Zero Two was turning Hiro into a "monster" like her, just as she claimed she was going to kill him, which she knew wasn't true, regardless of what the nines dude said.
>>472011 Shoko ruined everything through her stupidity. Ichigo is ruining everything because she's selfish. I doubt she'll realize she messed up until everything goes wrong.
Yeah, Zero Two shouldn't be eating people, but this would have been resolved easily and most likely pretty well if Ichigo hadn't gotten in the way of Zero Two and Hiro's relationship development.
To be Shoko-tier, you have to unilateraly compeltely ruin everything just because. Ichigo is being dumb and she's probably messing stuff up but a lot of the fault lies with Zero Two on this one since she was like "oh yeah time to freak out and eat this guy wait no actually he really was my darling oops". She knew what she was doing was wrong and didn't care until she realized that the person she was eating was someone she didn't want to eat.
>>472010 I don't believe any of them knew Zero-Two was a monster until Hiro remembered and Ichigo got told by the prettyboy. I don't think it's wrong for them to get on guard that they've been deceived into thinking she was a human, even if a weird one, until that point. Zero-Two might not be human but she's also not an animal. I can't blame an animal for biting me but I can definitely blame something on the same levels of intelligence and complexity of thought as one, or in close relativity. I'd feel she lies in that region at the least.
I'm also certain it's not "just an excuse", because from how it seemed to me she definitely didn't want Hiro turning into a monster, or getting eaten, which as far as she could tell with the information she had on hand, was the one of two fates left for him if he was to keep riding with her. I don't think she was wrong for acting to avoid either two of those fates from coming to pass.
FormerRei@mobile
Can you guys have this discussion in the anime thread? I haven't started Franxx yet and would rather not get spoiled anymore than I already have been.

>>472011 so does shoko do any more ruining after trying to surrender the valvraves? Does she get worse in the last three episodes? I'm shocked at how quickly she managed to reverse my opinions of her. She somehow goes from best girl to worst girl in one episode
>>472016 Shoko just repeatedly ruins every thing over and over past that point. It's amazing how one person can ruin everything so many times. She's like ruining things incarnate.
>>472014 They didn't know she was a red oni, but they'd been calling her a monster occasionally since episode 1. Especially after Mitsuru got messed up by riding with her, they called her a monster. They all also knew that her riding with Hiro was doing something to Hiro. The guys did, at least. We know that because he had the growth and everything. It's not fair to blame Zero Two for acting like that just because she's intelligent. She wasn't socialized with other humans and has only been injured by humans in the past. The humans also took her darling away when she was young, and her darling was the only connection she had to humanity. There shouldn't be any expectation for her to behave like a human across the board because she wasn't human and was never treated like humans. Her behavior was totally reasonable considering her circumstances, and even humans that have been raised like her behave like she did in real life.
Ichigo might think those fears are what's motivating her, but I don't think that's true. She had evidence to the contrary that they were true. err, that they weren't true. She chose to believe them because that's the most convenient rationalization. It's not something she's doing consciously, in my opinion.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>472021 and worst part is she doesn't even realise how shit she is
>>472022 There isn't arguably any expectation for Zero-Two to behave consistently like a human for us as viewers, but the kids didn't have the full understanding of her situation and can't be expected to act like her behaviour is rational or reasonable. More than that, they're kids. They themselves have been raised in a strange environment that basically seals them off from what we as viewers would consider normal socialization and child raising. If anything, it kind of seems like they're raised as super-insular cells of four or five pairs. Wouldn't that in itself build up suspicion in foreign elements. Even if not, again, they're still just kids. I have a lot of opinions on letting kids their age take authoritative and important decisions in the first place , but anime. I don't think it's fair to assume they can make complex decisions based on information that doesn't make itself particularly clear. More than that they're in an impulsive and fair irrational age being teenagers. I don't think it's fair to blame them on something that they haven't been raised to encounter, at a point in their lives where they're prone to making impulsive or irrational mistakes. It's easy to look back -look down on it as a spectator and see things through an adult mindset, but as kids they shouldn't be expected to have that same capacity. Mistakes were made by all the kids and Zero-Two, but there isn't a blame game here that is fair to play for anyone.

Kirara π
>>472033 I think it's fair to say that what happened was tragic, but I don't think it's fair to call Zero Two's behavior a mistake. What she did was rational given her circumstances. We see the same behavior in humans and animals in similar circumstances. The kids may not have known what Zero Two was, but they were certainly capable of knowing that they weren't treating her right. Goro and the others knew that what Ichigo wanted was wrong. That's why I say Ichigo made a mistake. Her behavior led to the unfortunate event of Zero Two acting rationally in /// rationally but in a way that wasn't ideal for anyone. Ichigo didn't have to behave like that but made a choice to, because she was blinded by her selfish desire to be with Hiro.

But in terms of general public use, the chord phones quite quickly disappeared from the market, as mobile phones became so cheap and a mobile contract became cheaper for the WHOLE family to have one each, even if the package wasn't a family pack, than to keep a chord phone home. not to mention gave you the privacy of always answering calls ment to you

My cellphone doesn't get any spam calls. But I do get a whole bunch of people who call me by one accident or another.
Anno
>>472058 I think it's totally fair to call what her behaviour caused a mistake on her part. Just because an action is rational doesn't relieve it of being a mistake, in my opinion. A mistake happens when your action, rational or not, doesn't produce an outcome you'd prefer. If my cat bites me, even in a rational situation for her, it's a mistake because I'm probably gonna shout from the pain and ignore her for a bit because I'm likely to be a little pissy. I don't blame her for biting me, but I still would say she's made a mistake. Ichigo was overly compelled by her concern for Hiro, both seriously for his wellbeing and romantic concern, and yeah, she made a mistake because of that. But Zero-Two's mistake was acting out and attacking all the kids after they found Hiro's hospital
But I don't understand people who toy around with telemarketers if you don't want to listen them a rude 2fuck your shit" is much more preferrable than engaging in long conversation only to say no and you can actually tell if they are that type, but company guidelines dictate you have to go on andw aste time on a guy who isn't going to buy jackshit

if they had to stick something to it, why not have some batgirl vs joker storyline or something that is good and fits into then >batgirl is kindapped near raped and then has sechs with batman
FormerRei@mobile
The should've done "killing joke" followed by "girls night out" or the comic with booster gold trying to change the past and failing.
FormerRei@mobile
Actually Girls Night Out would've been a very good choice. Much better than that crap they tacked on.
Point is they should have adapted some actual famous storyline to it as tacked lenght booster since they wanted it to be full sized movie and not some half assed shit writing original crap
FormerRei@mobile
Wait I may have misremembered that comic name. It was the one with zatanna trying to change the future and failing several times so after finding out that killing joke is inevitable she and some other heroine go out partying with batgirl to give her one last night of fun.
>>472196 yeah that would have worked fine as tacked lenght booster
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
but if you don't end the movie in that "batman and joker laugh" you ruin it
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
and if you have it before it kinda ruins the story
FormerRei@mobile
Well Yeah I guess.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
so it doesn't work
FormerRei@mobile
But basically 80% of Or more of tbe people who saw it knew what would happen.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
indeed, but you have to think of the story working otu even if PEOPLE KNOW that is what making movies is about people who went to watch harry potter most likely knew how it would carry over
FormerRei@mobile
What a shame
FormerRei@mobile
I actually saw Killing Joke in theaters. There was only one day where they showed it and I think all the theaters only had one showing.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
killing jokes is damn expensive as graphic novel
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
watchman and v were the SAME PRICe but are like what 300 pages long KJ is like what 50+
FormerRei@mobile
The reissued version of killing joke is supposed to have much better colors. Also I think V for Vendetta and Watchmen are cheaper because they are likely printed in much larger print runs. While killing joke is a bit more niche, classic it may be.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I bet I could get it cheap from amazon etc I just like buying my books from stores the browsing experience is part of the charm
>>472208 yes ofc, but when you have fucking BOOK sized graphic novels running on same price as "few collected issues in one volume" it is quite uhm, no not giving you money for this even if you know the reason why it is more expensive, doesn't mean you have to agree to pay the asked price.
FormerRei@mobile
I have Watchmen and V for Vendetta hardcover.
Kirara π
the reissued killing joke has really good colors yeah
V for Vendetta movie is actually an amusing adaption since it takes the core ideas and works them into modern world it isn't as good or as indepth as the original, but it works damn well with the time given to it
FormerRei@mobile
And Natalie Portman
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
and hugo weaving as the voice of V
FormerRei@mobile
Ah yes 4chan man costume
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
guy has damn good voice
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
and the movie came out when he was somewhat poplar just after lotr and matrix
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>54 in the picture he hasn't aged well wow he is the same age as my mother welp cloudflare is a dick
>>472222 That picture would have been while the Hobbit movies were coming out. They did a really solid job on makeup for him if that's how he looks normally.

>Millennia after much of the world was destroyed in a cataclysmic event, civilization has adapted a new way of living. Gigantic moving cities now roam the Earth, chasing and devouring smaller traction towns for resources. Tom Natsworthy (Robert Sheehan), a low-class citizen of the moving city of London, finds himself fighting for survival after he encounters the fugitive Hester Shaw (Hera Hilmar). Opposites stuck together, they must forge an unlikely alliance that could change the future.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I dunno if that works as a movie, but fuck it would be good setting for a game
FormerRei@mobile
>starts snowing immediately after I walk outside Fuck
>>472229 Maybe it would work as one of those giant mediauniverses where you have shows, comics, games whatnot in it who knows it has Pjackson as director so it might be good
sunless sea is such a fun world, though the game does get damn grindy too quickly
FormerRei@mobile
>>472228 It only bothered me because I went out in flip flops. Seriously though fuck this weather. I made the mistake of buying a pair of shoes that isn't waterproof, and its rained or snowed every week since I bought them.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>472231 I sent it out to ambush people just like you
Anno
>>472230 Jackson needs to get some better editors and people who will say no to him though. I think he was starting to get a bit of the Lucas throughout production of the Hobbit movies.
Sunless Sea's problem is that the grind is front-loaded. You start off so weak and you have to put in the WORK to get money and better equipment. But once you have a couple successions under your belt and a store of money, stats, and a good carry-over weapon, then you're set to accomplish shit. Getting to that point can be patience-breaking though.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>472233 well hobbit was a mess and even he didn't want to do it and hated it
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>472233 >and then rng sinks your ship and you start over with a new captain
But really I had like >good run then death due to stupid >excellent run that ended with rng fuckery >started good due to inheritance stuff, but then rng fucked over >now nothing except gun from all previous playthroughs left

>A Burmese python with a tracking device led Florida officials to a record-breaking sex party
>An invasive Burmese python with a surgically implanted tracking device led Florida researchers to the largest python "aggregation" ever found in Collier County >A couple of days before Valentine's Day, a male python (or sentinel) nicknamed Argo was fitted with a tracking device and led researchers with the Conservancy of Southwest Florida to a 100-pound female python about to lay eggs.
>The researchers found Argo with a pregnant female weighing about 115 pounds and seven other male Burmese pythons. The eight were the most snakes ever found in one place within Southwest Florida and the western Everglades, reports the Naples Daily News. fucking snake weighs as much as i do
I guess USA and Russia are really similiar, except usa constitution is a lot better

This type of cookie I have here tastes way better in outlet, imperfect and unsuitable for retail sale type than it does than actually out of the box. The ones out of the box don't have as much cream and jelly filling and the cookie is drier. It's kind of weird really.
I reckon I'll be in michigan this year from midwest to south to midsouth to midnorth within about two years quite a traveler are the lakes nice ive never been
Anno
They can be pretty nice. You get away from the cities built on them and they get really scenic and have a lot of natural beauty. The Great Lakes are an important part of a watershed ecological region in Canada and maybe the States, not sure, so you get a lot of flora and fauna that are specific to that region. It's a lovely part of the country up here at least.
i'm talkin about the great lakes ofc i'm living on a not-so-great lake at the moment it's pretty toxic
Kannagi
What do you mean by toxic? like horrible communities?
Anno
I've camped on Lakes Ontario, Erie, and Huron in the past. They're lovely natural regions and living in a city on one means you're never more than a few hours drive away from a preservation or camping site. The pollution in the lakes heavily depends on which city you're living in. Toronto's striven really fucking hard to improve the quality of water in the lake along its border, and have managed to make the lake water to the point where you can technically swim in it free of health issues. I'm still not certain I'd go for a swim myself, but I appreciate the effort put in. I could imagine in other cities they care less about the pollution in the water.
Kannagi
I've only been to a tiny lake in my town in England and up north in England to Lake Windermere - Where beatrix potter wrote her books.
>>472395 it's filthy here there's literal lead in the water the air is full of smog from the nearby quarry
Kannagi
>>472398 Wow, that is pretty bad. I thought the big lakes in america were a big tourist spot?
Anno
im not at a big lake im at a lakeside community in rural missouri
Anno
>>472399 They are a pretty big tourist spot, yeah. But they're also big. Like, really big. A city can be built along the waterfront of one and pollute the hell out of the water, but you drive for a few hours along the waterfront and you'll hit a part of the lake that's still extremely clean and unpolluted.
Kannagi
Thats a shame that pollution of the lakes happen.
Anno
the toxic lake i'm talking about living at is a manmade like in a mining community in rural missouri it's just toxic all around here >>472404 no, there are mines and quarries all around here, and there's a manufactured lake in this area as residential property so people can boat and fish and swim i wouldn't though
Kannagi
>>472403 Oh do you mean like a flooded quarry? There are some quarries in england that are flooded and make man made lakes
Kannagi
>>472403 I bet the quality of the lake brought down the residential prices
Anno
maybe i'm not representing it right there was no residence without the lake it's a lakeside community they built the lake in order to build residences
Anno
it might be a natural lake, im not entirely sure, but it's been dammed and planned for residency either way
Maria
There's a lake in Australia called Lake Disappointment Nice of them to warn people
Kannagi
>>472422 whoever named that lake feels like someone I can get along with! >>472410 Ah I understand you. I thought orginally the lake might have been more pleasant given that they made it for residency, but that might not be the case.
