He's also kind of a "sex pest" type in Catwoman: When in Rome, which is the one black mark on one of my favorite Catwoman stories. Not sure why they went with that - doesn't feel like a Riddler kind of character trait.
Get your Amazon orders in now lol. If there was something you wanted to get and its already in stock nows the time because they are going to stop getting non essential items sent to their warehouses. Not sure what the store is going to look like after this.
don't worry Naughty Dog will probably force their people to work even if they get COVID so TLOU will be fine
I still haven't played the first one. I was going to soon but it seems inappropriate right now. Same reason I stopped playing The Division 2.
Thanks. I knew there was a term for it just had no idea what to call it. Regardless, nothing will ever top Berserk for me. It's maybe my favorite comic in general, Japanese or not. Also those Harta covers are real nice.Berserk is seinen. It typically just comes down to the magazine it's published in. Honestly, "shounen battle manga" is pretty specific and recognizable, but describing pretty much any series just based on its targeted demographic doesn't tell you much. Berserk and Hakumei & Mikochi are seinen, so if you know one and not the other, you might has some odd expectations picking one up.
Hell, even saying "it's shounen" isn't super helpful. Even though many western readers may be referring to shounen battle manga specifically, Death Note, GTO, Slam Dunk, A Silent Voice, Bakuman, Act-age, Beastars, Phoenix, and Kyou kara Ore wa!! are all shounen, so it's not the greatest descriptor.
I say that I typically prefer seinen and josei series, because of their themes and focus, but I'd never say "I don't like shounen," because that would be such a ridiculous generalization. One's obviously not inherently better than the other or anything. And there's obviously crossover between the demographics, or series that seem like they're more suited to another demographic despite the magazine it's published in (because sometimes a mangaka just goes to a few publishers before finding one that will put their work in a magazine).
I love Berserk. I get why it might be hard to get into for new readers, because Guts is pretty unlikable at the beginning, but I love the fucked up world and all the relationships. The art is some of the best in comics (especially later), and the main villain (won't say the name) is such a bastard with a great story. Yeah. It's one of my favorites of all time, too.
Good thing I was already expecting Wild Rift to miss nearly all of 2020
Yes, but also, as put here:
The reality disconnect. I work with too many people who smoke, or vape (which just looks dumber sometimes even though it can technically be healthier), and they just need like 2 or 3 cigs to get through 8 hours and I'm like "my guy for real?"I would love the imagery of smoking if I didn't associate it with the repulsive real-life smell.
Sometimes, if it's been long enough since I've smelled the real thing, I can find artwork involving cigarettes attractive. But it's a hit or miss kind of thing.
Like I think this is really cute:
But there's a disconnect from reality there, and I think I imagine this is like an alternate reality magical cigarette that smells like flowers or fresh fruit, and has health benefits instead of killing you.
"Oh man my throat is kinda dry and I have a cough. I might be getting sick. Hope it's not Corona. Well I'm gonna go grab a quick cig. Slam some soda real quick." Like bruh what?
I guess he's kind of a shut-in, so he doesn't have social skills in regards to women? I dunno. It's weird.
I watched the anime first and the eclipse basically broke my brain. Now I'm all caught up on the manga and waiting impatiently for the next volume. I love it but I agree it's really hard to recommend to new readers.
Oh wow, the new characters in New Warriors sound really neat. Snowflake is non-binary, and her brother is Safe Space. Said they wear their names as like a badge of honor. He can create forcefields, but only to protect someone else, and she makes snowflake shurikens lol.
Screentime is always stuck on the internet lol.

Whoa. Volume wait on Berserk sounds like an even deeper circle of hell.
I knew what I was getting myself into but it was impossible to stop once I started.
just what any group needs, more Sonic
:(
I can think of few things that are more of a turn off than the smell of stale cig smoke on someone's clothes
Damn, Magic Order v1 was not bad either!! What happened to Millar. Is someone ghost writing for him?!
Also read a comic (?) from 1930 called Alay-Oop that feels remarkably modern! It is one 'panel' per page and tells the love story of some vaudeville performers.

I was just saying, I don't even really know what yall were talking about tbh I was just skimming lol

I brought it to work to read but I can't bring myself to read it.
So, I'm torn. On the one hand, I think including more enby characters in comics is neat and should happen more often. On the other...those names are all terrible and feel like some shit a conservative making fun of progressives would come up with, and they should be changed immediately. >.<
is there a corona sonic yet?
it's imperative that in these trying times we focus on what's really important

Always has been, as long as you don't expect him to hit a deadline with interiors. 😂
I think a lot of VNs need something to break up the monotony, because otherwise they just end up being "Press A: The Game". VA-11 HALL-A had the drink mixing, which turned out to be very fun. I don't think Murder by Numbers would have been as fun without the puzzles.
I might be in for these. I'm looking to learn more about the franchise before the game comes out. They're releasing that Vampire: TM visual novel for consoles on March 24th.
No way does MHA go on for that long.
Too bad. Bride's Story is one of my favorite Shonen Jumps, though.
Amazon about to go out of business. Also, do sex toys count as "essential items?" I didn't even know Amazon carried that stuff initially, until I discovered you can Google Amazon listings for this stuff. Otherwise it doesn't seem to be searchable through Amazon's own search bar.
I think the names sound like out of touch adults trying to make cool kids. Screentime?
Totally with you on that! I've been reading it for years, and the art and characters never cease to amaze me. Just a beautiful series.
Please fix my typo. I'm ashamed.
I hate when I'm not fast enough to edit my posts before they get quoted hahaha
oh yeah, for sure. i wouldn't want -no- puzzles. i just think it needs something more involved. more directly tied to what's happening, even if it's just in a small way.
If it needs something to break up the monotony, that sounds like the writing just isn't very good. Reading a good book isn't a monotonous experience.
It's not so much that. Even VNs where I enjoy the writing, I'm sometimes looking for more to do than just press a button to advance some text.
In between chapters, you don't like draw in the book to add diverse mechanics to the experience?
the video does a much better job talking about them, but I totally agree. I was just thinking the same actually before I read your post.
I'm sure there are going to be a ton of people shitting on these characters too. The forced diversity people especially.
The name sounds very tongue in cheek like "these darn teens and their lingo", but not in a malicious way
