    Funny Events of the "Woke" world

    Considering Belle's established as a very educated and headstrong woman, I don't think being associated with the stupid drunk is especially flattering. She'd make a better Magnus, obviously. Mulan is Jaghatai, isn't she?

    The Shattered Elden Ring Thread: Tarnished Edition - (Shadow of the Erdtree p. 85)

    All three of those games had things in them that spoiled the game for me, each for different reasons. Sekiro was three times as long as it needed to be. The basic premise of the game is fine, but for me it didn't hold my interest. Just about every boss fight is a dance of parrying attacks...

    The Shattered Elden Ring Thread: Tarnished Edition - (Shadow of the Erdtree p. 85)

    I have played around 15 hours of the game, and so far really enjoying it. Gonna document my experience below, so spoiler warning. Started out as Wretch, as I like to maximize stats and I rarely use starting equipment much after the first couple of hours of play anyway. Also started with the...

    Drive My Car (2021) A beautiful exploration of loss and grief, Drive My Car is a slow burn, clocking at a 3 hour runtime. It uses this long runtime to properly set up the mood with long contemplative shots, moody and melancholic music, and excellent use of lighting. The juxtapositions between...

    The Wheel of Time

    Saying that there are two different types is charitable. All women swoon over men with varying degrees of acting like they don't.

    Evangelion 3.0 + 1 discussion(potential Spoilers)

    The reason it is called 3.0+1.0 is because 4 in Japanese sounds like death, and Japan has a big taboo around that number. But I believe the real reason is that with 3.0+1.0 Anno wanted the more hopeful and humanitarian themes of the movie to not clash with a title that has negative connotations...

    Evangelion 3.0 + 1 discussion(potential Spoilers)

    The last one is him pouring his heart out. It is more a sequel to End, in that it an exploration of themes that were explored in end, but now after years of therapy and sporting a new sort of attitude. It doesn't quite reach the height of end due to the middling middle part, but besides that...

    Evangelion 3.0 + 1 discussion(potential Spoilers)

    Evangelion 3.0+1.0 is a movie with a great beginning, a sloppy, tiring middle, and a phenomenal ending. I did not expect anything from it, especially after 3. But Anno delivered. Absolutely beautiful movie. Absolutely beautiful themes.

    So are people going to finally admit the shit about the ok hand sign is stupid?

    If only because actual skinheads beat the shit out of nazi punks across the decades.

    Global Minimum Corporate Tax UPDATE: G7 agree

    The US has found a solution that is unique to them in regards to taxes. Every country is afraid of raising their taxes because that will cause capital to fuck off elsewhere. So, naturally, you gotta make the whole world raise their taxes so that you can raise yours. It is shit that the US can...
