In 2075, The Nintendo Switch is widely regarded by scientists and engineers all over the world as the most stable object in the known universe.

What's that phenomenon where as a child you were told a "fact", internalised it, and lived your life presuming it was true until someone points out how obviously wildly untrue it was that you momentarily question reality?

Because I was today's years old when I realised how ridiculous cutting complete blood flow would be. Thank you (genuinely!)

Funnily, the animal was named after the greek mythological figure of the same name. Wife of Typhon and considered the mother of monsters - including Cerberus.

It's sad to see parents one up the children instead of elevate them

I just presumed you turn on "shower thoughts" mode after you've done a thorough clean.

Though this is similar to what some Japanese households do where they do a thorough wash and shower, removing any dirt and sweat, and soak in a bathtub to relax afterwards.

Great thread - might make my icons a little smaller but I have a big phone (for my hand) so I tried to balance minimalist with color-immediacy

I dated a NT who loved my rants. This was before I got my diagnosis. they're out there and I'd agree it's more about compatibility - just keep living your life and see who you come across :)

absolutely brutal news to hear. it cannot be overstated how much of an impact this man's works had influenced not only action and comedy manga but culture as a whole. rip on of the greats

The Disgaea series has a special place in my heart. This is also a case where the two are not mutually exclusive.

Not a fan of the genre so take what I say with a grain of salt but I've always viewed it as the destillation of the "fish out of water" and power fantasy combined into one. Both reasonably popular tropes tied into one.

So it's already readily consumeable for the targeted demo and relatively easy to write/draw since the you don't need to worry about developing a distinct character trait/trope (he's unique/powerful) or unique narrative framing. It's not necessary bad, just easy to produce and readily consumable. It's the equivalent of the step-fantasy or fast food. Not evil or bad, just not particularly unique.

Then you eventually get amazing works (Jack In The Box's Chick n tater melt, Overlord, Eminence In The Shadow) that either push the best traits to 11 or are a direct commentary on the genre itself.
