>Loved DX as a kid >Love the Remake now
It’s great, honestly. Just utterly charming. My only complaints are that the Dampe thing sucks and because it’s got seashells/hearts tied to it, you can’t 100% unless you’re willing to put up with that giant slog. At least it’s still easy to get enough seashells for the Sword even without it.
>RE:RE
better in most aspects >FRLG
good but not better >HGSS
I'd say they're too different but both the original and the remake are amazing >LA
good but definitely not better >TH1+2
haven't played >Crash Trilogy
definitely worse than the originals but still good
It's better because there's way less bugs, the combat is more balanced, the Pokémon are actually on-model, there's post-game content, you can rebattle trainers etc etc. I have no particularly strong opinions on the changed art style or the music, although I did prefer the old character designs to the new ones. I also did like the setting more in the original games, but everything else is honestly better imo ngl
I never really understood the hate the links awakening remake got. Especially for it's art style. It clearly had a lot of time and effort put into making it look like a cute little diorama and it captures the unique cutsey look of the old sprites well. Is it really that different from say, wind waker? If people wanna see true low effort "chibi shit" the diamond and pearl remakes make much better examples. All that said frick the depth of field effect.
Trials of Mana, Ys: The Oath in Felghana, Resident Evil, Metroid Zero Mission, Tales of Destiny. There's a lot actually
It looks beautiful when you emulate it and fix the small graphical hiccups too. All it neds to be perfect is for someone to drop in some of the original sound effects since the new ones don't really hit as hard. Wonderful remake
This may sound moronic, but I think games that are mediocre or bad, but are interesting should get remakes over good games. Remakes of good games can frick over what was good about the original game, feel unnecessary or add problems.
Absolutely. Interesting ideas should have a chance for a better execution
Too bad remakes are only made for free nostalgia sales so that'll never happen
True. Games such as:
Deus Ex: Infinity War
Devil May Cry 2
Blood 2: The Chosen
Daikatana
Two Worlds etc.
could use remakes, since they had interesting ideas or were sequels to critically acclaimed titles, but their development was troublesome and it showed in the final product.
You made me realize that's probably the fear of whoever did the HD remake of Heroes of Might & Magic 3.
Literally all they did was add some resolution fixes and polished the spritework somewhat. Didn't even dare touch anything else. I would be extatic if a homm2 remake could show up with a few nudges of balance here and there
I sort of lived through it and I am biased to HoMM2 as it introduced me to the gameplay style.
In hindsight, I'd say a beginner should avoid 'Armageddons Blade' with a tenfoot pole. Conflux is hot garbage and shouldn't even be a thing. Take a look at all the other parts of homm3 and I'd say you'll have a good time.
HoMM3 is one of those games everyone says they love but never really played much of.
Anyone that has ever been at a LAN and having people wanting to play this knows it all too well. >Everyone is excited and starts up a game >30min in and everyone is already bored and novelty has died off >everyone just fricks off waiting for their turn and the game turns into a chore.
During my university days we didn't really have a deck of cards, so HoMM3 was always on the agenda. I still have about 30 saves of different games that were never finished, since we only played during lunch or social classes..
Then again, house rules turned more and more tyranical after a year or two. >diplomacy is unfair, unless your hero gets it by random, no leveling it up >logistics is no fun, you can walk half the map while i can't, remove it. >air magic should be banned because teleport and fly ruin any strategy >necropolis c**t, frick off >tower bastard, eat a dick >dungeon prostitute, sit on a wiener
In the end, most games turned almost violent haha.
I'd say got for either choronological order if you enjoy start games and can stomach older graphics.
Otherwise, 2 and 3 are great starting spots.
In 3, do the Erathia campaign first, not the shadow one, because it's much harder.

It doesn't even look bad. I started it this Wednesday, I'm SO fricking hooked... and the graphics look awesome too.
I like how Leon looks and moves. The village, the church & cemetery, the lake. It looks awesome with the updated ports.
It's about as good as Dark Souls or Skyrim, so it definitely doesn't need a remake.
However that's still no reason to complain, it just means we're getting an extra good game from source material we already loved.
But I'm 90% positive it won't be nearly as good as the original in this case. I liked Leon being RE's Dante, if that's absent I won't enjoy it as much...
on the other hand, even while loving the original I'm constantly thinking >What if this same setting and story had instead been a classic game, taking itself more seriously and with less action?
and the remake will deliver on that front.
Also from the leaks, we are getting expanded story on all the characters.
Sure. They can be as good as, or even arguably superior to the original (RE1 Remake, XCOM EU (purists aside)). This is because of a greater understanding of how the original worked and succeeded. I hear Firaxis played the original XCOM games all the time, and created a board game prototype.
The main issues people have is that often a remake isn't needed, since the original is perfectly fine as is (The Last Of Us Remake, Dead Space remake).
Depends.
This may sound moronic, but I think games that are mediocre or bad, but are interesting should get remakes over good games. Remakes of good games can frick over what was good about the original game, feel unnecessary or add problems.
This guy has a point, why remake a masterpiece, when you could remake a flawed game with brilliant ideas too lofty for the time?
This is exactly why were getting a massively dumbed down RE4 Remilk. Some games have stood the test of time and don't need remakes.
This. RE4 is absolutely perfect, and a remake already exists. HD Project.
Who the frick writes this? I have more respect for the furry fanfics than this shit.

Explain to me why trans folk can't just shrug off being accidentally misgendered when they meet someone the first time? You can't expect everyone to know your gender at first glance, and expecting them to ask your "pronouns" when you first meet is about as fricking obnoxious and narcissistic as it gets.

There's two kind of trans people, from my experience(i've met a bunch irl, i work at a quite liberal place)
There's the online vocal homosexuals, who wants the world to burn and kneel before them. They're not bad people because they're trans, they're just a bunch of degenrates who jumped on what they perceived as the "easy" ship.
Then there's the one you meet in real life( as in they actually go to work and stuff, they don't just wander around looking like monsters and screaming, they literally just maybe crossdress, maybe a guy got breasts)
Those ones tend to be much more understanding, because they're really just people who are uncomfortable in their bodies and don't know how to cope with that.

says. Insecurity in their identity and feelings of inferiority and powerlessness so large leads to so much fragility that they absolutely must spew vitriol at any who don't play to the desires of themselves or others they themselves perceive as inferior and identify with. The mind of these individuals is not one that seeks improvement, confidence, self-development and they must attack those who have or seek them. This is not a purely sexual issue, but a self-realization one.

It is not satire, it is stupid shit that millennials make to appear "adult".
The Flintstones is an adult cartoon, but the charm behind it was that children weren't able to understand the adult undertones until they grew up. Nowadays, gen xers and millennial make it so stupidly cartoony and dark to sound "deep". Comics like these aren't cleverly written, they are tremendously dumb screeds that miss the entire purpose.

Ok, let me explain this to you: Flintstones is "the modern stone age family." The comics premise is to move "modern" from the 60s to the 2010s. Thats it.

Opinions are opinions, they're not objective truth. But I guess you have to think it's objective truth for it to be an authentic opinion? Still, that leaves two types of people: Those who respect opinions and those who actively assert their opinions as fact over everyone else's. The latter deserve a lifetime of nightmare and pain honestly, but that's just my opinion.

Just incase you are a zoomer and dont know what Flintstones is, the whole premise is a satire of modern society but in cave man times, they have cars where the passengers just stick their feet through the floor and run really fast etc. Its satire anon, they are not trying to rewrite history.
>Fred Flintstone survived an attack from adult versions of Bam-Bam. >One panel shows him kill one of them who got close >Fred fought off an alien invasion using stone aged tech.
Is he caveman Rambo?
The Lodge they go to in the cartoon is a parody of Lodges that Vets from the Korea/Vietnam war would attend. Implying that they've fought in a war before.
is it not just a parody of mason lodges
being a mason was really common among upper middle class wasps back in the '60s and before

There is no contradiction between saying game developers and publishers should stop trying to milk past success and new games are bad. By definition remakes and remasters are new, and lo and behold, just like original titles they end up sucking because so many developers and publishers can't make good games.
The Flintstones image? Is that comic good?

I love these comics.
I actually like this new crop of comics compared to the originals.
Yeah, the jokes are more varied than the original batch's "he is autistic and dont get girls advances" schtick
>since A is shit, B has a right to exist >muh false dichotomy
I would comment on how this cartoon is a room temp IQ take, but then I suddenly remembered these are the people who think women can have penises >chaser myself and old enough to remember when they marketed themselves as the 3rd gender >before we got fricking 50 different genders (and all of them fat & ugly)
I personally really liked the Crash trilogy remake. I personally didn't notice anything wrong with the physics and proceeded to 100% all 3 games with no problems. having the time time trials added to 1&2 was worth any minor downgrade to me.
I understand hating remakes on a laziness principle, but these people that hate remakes because they replace or displace the originals are delusional fanboys. I'd rather have AAA churn out endless remakes than new shit considering the absolute fricking state of the industry, at least the foundations will be solid, leave the new IPs to indies.

This comic
Best one
started in 2015
As previously stated, Miles Morales, who started the "minority character replaces white character trend" in the modern era, was introduced in 2011
Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel started in 2012
Jane Foster became Thor in 2014
Nick Fury was written out and replaced with his black son also named Nick Fury in 2014
The Question was killed and replaced with a Latina lesbian in fricking 2007
Flintstones was a niche humor comic that didn't sell all that well despite critical praise.
Carol Danvers was the star of a billion dollar movie, Jane Foster as Thor JUST got a movie, Nick Fury was essentially made into a villain so they could replace him with Samuel L. Jackson

How are any of those subversive? Are you going to argue that edgy comics like Swamp Thing was not a thing?
in contemporary comics before Swamp Thing itself? Not really
Do you even know what extreme subversive is?
Replacing a character that has been done since the dawn of comics is nothing subversive.
Having the power puff girls grow up to become prostitutes and drug addicts is, making a comic about flintstones where they are in the "Vietnam war" and dealing with dark stuff is subversive.
Replacing a comic character with another comic character has always been done and nearly is expected.

You two are talking about different types of subversion, that is why your argument is going nowhere.
Is talking about 'cultural subversion' or subverting cultural or societal expectations.

Eh, seeing Fred Flinstones talking about war crimes and having PSTD is as in-your-face as you can get.
The modern "Um actually, Friend Zoned isn't a thing! And if it was, it would be awesome!" reaction is somehow even sadder than people complaining about being Friend Zoned.
Every person who writes a "friend zoned is cool!" story? Was probably friend zoned and is in denial and trying to rationalize getting blown the frick out by an alpha chad/stacy.
But you can?
Every women will friendzone you and you'll end up alone in the end.
Oh and as a bonus you will see all your female friends start a happy family while you will be constantly reminded only a life of loneliness awaits you.

I remember back in 2006 one of the rules here was to remember that Ganker isn't real life. But gays here get all their opinions from Twitter shitposts and echo chamber threads.
Because Flintstones was literally just "generic '60s sitcom but stone age". It was made as a subversion of the typical Full House shows, a genre so old hat that nowadays "the '60s sitcom being subverted" is itself being DOUBLE dubverted and even THAT is old hat.
if it wasn't for the godawful console loadtimes, Id say CTR. as it stands, the best remake I've played yet is the SMB3 remake all the way back on the GBA.
Yeah. Tomb raider anniversary is probably one of my favourites with RE1, MGS:The twin snakes, yakuza kiwami 2, bard's tale and star ocean : the first departure. They're more playable replacements for the original games.

You want to see something REALLY fricking funny, look up "Miles Morales Thor." And then approach it with the knowledge that the people who made it *legitimately* believed they were making something to proudly advance the cause of diversity in comics.
Was it? Seemed American as frick to me, the way it was written. Even got an award for an immigrant story with Superman
hitman is great, he has a great exchange with superman as you have mentioned.
It really stuck with me too, rather memorable for such a short story. Do you happen to have it on hand?
I was extremely impressed with Black Mesa. Is it better than the original? In many ways, yes, but the original still has its charm that I recommend everyone playing at least once.

I neved undertood this "everyone feels alone so people just find purpose to their life". Like, trying to encompass every though in an answer so it can be interpreted as that belief.
I like to think people are bored all the time, so life is valued as how bored you aren't and that makes your value more. Which most poeple think "yeah, thats what i meant to find a purpose."... So i guess they are the same as the new testament, were anything can be morphed into what God said.
But I guess that belief works because not everyone is convinced as I am that living is fun, i guess.
Specifically for humans the purpose of life is to seek their own happiness, the life long road with infinite bifurcations unique to every one of us but one same goal for everyone, everything we do and everything we are and strive for is for that sensation, happiness.

Just a wonderful satire that is also fairly heartwarming.
>Crossed is just edgy for the sake of it
Thats the point, the whole reason it got made was to push industry censors limits and where they seem to draw the line, and so far it seems to be simply depicting nudity, the horrific gore rape is fine, but lord forbid depicting sex and nudity in the same story.

Funny old world.
2000AD and Heavy Metal have a general problem of the writers making some group they hate into the antagonists and then, because this is a pulp comic for teens and college kids, making them the most hardcore motherfrickers in existence.
I don't even keep up with americlap politics but lmao. Did that orange fatso even do anything besides insult a bunch of mexicans when he got elected and make a ton of autists of both sides sperg out? I still don't get why MSM hated him so much.
the border wall is still being built and the propaganda act was allowed to expire. beyond that, no. nothing really stuck. he didn't start any wars though, which makes him the best president in 40 years
Trump was and still is pretty pro fascism and police state despite also hating the rule of law. Basically he loves the police as a tool to bully others but doesn't believe the laws apply to him.
It's the point of authoritarianism. Everyone needs to be told what to do except me, because I know what's good for everyone and shouldn't be held back from pursuing that. And what everyone especially needs is for me to have even more money and authority.

Rightism and authoritarianism end up being one and the same 90% of the time.
He dismantled a lot of government jobs and screwed up a lot of agencies, which are still dealing with vacancies and backlogs. Not in a way to help anyone - things like fricking with the weather service, or supporting school scams because Trump ran a school scam. It benefitted his donors.
His foreign policy was also a fricking mess. He was the first president to ever meet with North Korea's leadership, and he did it immediately after their first successful nuke test. He told them they were awesome and basically informed the whole nation nukes were the right path. He got nothing out of it at all, North Korea played him like a fiddle.
That's just some of the stuff he did. On a practical level he was a total disaster, but most of his supporters focus only on the stuff he said at rallies.

>if you want to play it
No thanks. I like roleplaying but Persona makes me want to kill myself. I've read VNs that were less of a railroading slog. Probably just me. Just do not find the social stuff interesting whatsoever, since you are both forced to do it and it's on a scheduling constraint. There's games with systems like that who can integrate it into the game in a far more compelling way while also keeping it completely optional so you only do the things you actually like.
Any form of art has to be colored by a persons morality, experiences, and intention. Theres going to be something there no matter what, even in Seth's garbage bin.
Nah, be a little more grateful than that you fricking intellectual spaz. Hah, just kidding. If you really want the last word though, you better act fast.

its more of a reimagining, but it is great
Just because long war is fun doesn't make the base game unshit.
That's a reboot.
Halo 2A and the Wonderboy III remake are both fantastic. Homeworld Remastered was also quite good.

It’s great, honestly. Just utterly charming. My only complaints are that the Dampe thing sucks and because it’s got seashells/hearts tied to it, you can’t 100% unless you’re willing to put up with that giant slog. At least it’s still easy to get enough seashells for the Sword even without it.

It's better because there's way less bugs, the combat is more balanced, the Pokémon are actually on-model, there's post-game content, you can rebattle trainers etc etc. I have no particularly strong opinions on the changed art style or the music, although I did prefer the old character designs to the new ones. I also did like the setting more in the original games, but everything else is honestly better imo ngl
>the combat is more balanced
kek
It genuinely is though. It's absolutely not perfect, but it's a lot better than RBY. Those games were terribly balanced.
there is no possible way for a Pokemon game to be less balanced than RBY, or even equally unbalanced.
>exact same game
Tell me how to get in Sevii in RGBY
Read the second line of my post, moron
I'm talking about the islands, not the pokemon
First three islands have no new pokemon
I never really understood the hate the links awakening remake got. Especially for it's art style. It clearly had a lot of time and effort put into making it look like a cute little diorama and it captures the unique cutsey look of the old sprites well. Is it really that different from say, wind waker? If people wanna see true low effort "chibi shit" the diamond and pearl remakes make much better examples. All that said frick the depth of field effect.
It's fine, it's just not worth $60
Trials of Mana, Ys: The Oath in Felghana, Resident Evil, Metroid Zero Mission, Tales of Destiny. There's a lot actually
It looks beautiful when you emulate it and fix the small graphical hiccups too. All it neds to be perfect is for someone to drop in some of the original sound effects since the new ones don't really hit as hard. Wonderful remake
Hardly ever.
>RE1 demake
No.
REmake 2 is great. So is X-Cum 1 (didn't play 2). I bet there's more but I don't play that many AAA games nowadays.
The Linda Cube remake is good, REmake 1 is good.

>frogposter is an absolute brainlet

This may sound moronic, but I think games that are mediocre or bad, but are interesting should get remakes over good games. Remakes of good games can frick over what was good about the original game, feel unnecessary or add problems.
Absolutely. Interesting ideas should have a chance for a better execution
Too bad remakes are only made for free nostalgia sales so that'll never happen
True. Games such as:
Deus Ex: Infinity War
Devil May Cry 2
Blood 2: The Chosen
Daikatana
Two Worlds etc.
could use remakes, since they had interesting ideas or were sequels to critically acclaimed titles, but their development was troublesome and it showed in the final product.
I agree, Gothic 3 should get a remake, not Gothic 1
You made me realize that's probably the fear of whoever did the HD remake of Heroes of Might & Magic 3.
Literally all they did was add some resolution fixes and polished the spritework somewhat. Didn't even dare touch anything else.
I would be extatic if a homm2 remake could show up with a few nudges of balance here and there
What HoMM do I start with? I just started playing King's Bounty
I sort of lived through it and I am biased to HoMM2 as it introduced me to the gameplay style.
In hindsight, I'd say a beginner should avoid 'Armageddons Blade' with a tenfoot pole. Conflux is hot garbage and shouldn't even be a thing. Take a look at all the other parts of homm3 and I'd say you'll have a good time.
During my university days we didn't really have a deck of cards, so HoMM3 was always on the agenda. I still have about 30 saves of different games that were never finished, since we only played during lunch or social classes..
Then again, house rules turned more and more tyranical after a year or two.

I'd say got for either choronological order if you enjoy start games and can stomach older graphics.
Otherwise, 2 and 3 are great starting spots.
In 3, do the Erathia campaign first, not the shadow one, because it's much harder.
HoMM3 is one of those games everyone says they love but never really played much of.
Anyone that has ever been at a LAN and having people wanting to play this knows it all too well.

SONGS OF CONQUEST
normalgays think if a game is older than 5 years, it's impossible to play it so they beg for remakes instead
The problem with this idea is that if a game was mediocre or bad, the majority of people aren't going to be very interested in a remake.
This is exactly why were getting a massively dumbed down RE4 Remilk. Some games have stood the test of time and don't need remakes.
It doesn't even look bad. I started it this Wednesday, I'm SO fricking hooked... and the graphics look awesome too.
I like how Leon looks and moves. The village, the church & cemetery, the lake. It looks awesome with the updated ports.
It's about as good as Dark Souls or Skyrim, so it definitely doesn't need a remake.
However that's still no reason to complain, it just means we're getting an extra good game from source material we already loved.
But I'm 90% positive it won't be nearly as good as the original in this case. I liked Leon being RE's Dante, if that's absent I won't enjoy it as much...
on the other hand, even while loving the original I'm constantly thinking
>What if this same setting and story had instead been a classic game, taking itself more seriously and with less action?
and the remake will deliver on that front.
Also from the leaks, we are getting expanded story on all the characters.
Sure. They can be as good as, or even arguably superior to the original (RE1 Remake, XCOM EU (purists aside)). This is because of a greater understanding of how the original worked and succeeded. I hear Firaxis played the original XCOM games all the time, and created a board game prototype.
The main issues people have is that often a remake isn't needed, since the original is perfectly fine as is (The Last Of Us Remake, Dead Space remake).
Depends.
This guy has a point, why remake a masterpiece, when you could remake a flawed game with brilliant ideas too lofty for the time?
This. RE4 is absolutely perfect, and a remake already exists. HD Project.

They aren't asking to be pampered, just be treated with respect. Especially because any good doctor should know to use some bedside manner. I'm just a fat hairy Hispanic but I drop doctors like that.
That being said the Batgirl writers tend to suck ass at subtly.
2/10 I responded
Proud of you!
>Miss, you may have testicular cancer
Oh my god. Insufferable.
>People need to keep apologizing to me otherwise I'll get angry over nothing
fricking ghastly writing
I am for doing w/e to yourself, all humans are mentally ill to an extent. I am annoyed though especially on dating apps where its increasingly common not to even mention your trans. As gay as it sounds I'd rather frick a guy with a dick than one chopped off
>I'd rather frick a guy with a dick than one chopped off
Imagine being the type of person that everyone, even your own partner, has to walk on fricking eggshells around CONSTANTLY because you get offended at the drop of a hat from even genuine attempts to comfort or support you because you took them the wrong way and got pissy about it.
God if I was friends with someone like that I would literally tell them to frick off and stop acting like a baby if they tried the bullshit with me.
Life's hard and sucks ass sometimes, learn to roll with the punches instead of turning every molehill into a mountain.
That sort of thing makes me think how long do those kinds of people remain friends with eachtoher, becouse they will frick up eventually
Not long at all. They always end up attacking each other or trying to get Twitter mobs to cancel each other.
Exactly my thoughts. People like that are toxic and the problem, not everyone else around them, and should be treated as such. Trannies are severe narcissists on top of all their other delusions anyway though, so they should just be locked up or genocided anyway.
A lot of my friends are trannies, it's not as bad as you think. It's the same shit with any person in that sometimes you just find one that is an obnoxious little shit that needs to learn to grow up.
>it's not as bad as you think
Lmao. No. It's a whole lot worse than YOU think. And says a lot of bad about you that you'd hang out with those types. Yikes.
Nah, you are incorrect. You don't even have friends to begin with.
Nope. I definitely I have friends. Real ones that are regular people, not a bunch of Twitter and discord trannies with zero integrity. Enjoy losing your "friends" when they decide to cancel you or cause random drama due to their own extreme mental illness lmao. God damn, how does someone with this little self awareness even exist?
You sure are making a lot of assumptions. Must make thinking pretty easy for you.
>Grew up with long hair cause my mom was a hippie.
>Dad died before I was born.
>Mom used me as the daughter she never had, would send me to school with my hair in a sleek ponytail, or a braid.
>Used to switch clothes from nice shirts and slacks she'd send me in to jean and a hoodie when I got to school.
>Guys would hit on me if they didn't know me, had to explain I was a dude.
>Went through a year of high school like this.
>Finally said frick it and shaved my head
>Mom had a freak attack and wouldn't talk to me directly for 2 weeks.
Alright, I went through that shit as a kid, and managed to shrug it off as I got older. Explain to me why trans folk can't just shrug off being accidentally misgendered when they meet someone the first time? You can't expect everyone to know your gender at first glance, and expecting them to ask your "pronouns" when you first meet is about as fricking obnoxious and narcissistic as it gets.
Dumb moron
>narcissistic
Your lack of empathy is the narcissistic trait in here, not people not wanting to be reminded of persecution directed at them every day.
Same reason why they decry zoom calls. Their physical traits do not match their self-appointed identity. They obsess over said identity to an unhealthy degree. Therefore, anything that doesn't match said identity causes medium to severe mental trauma, including having to tell people what their pronouns are, as that implies that an explanation is necessary and not self-evident.
I am so glad that all my lgbtq+ friends willingly isolate from any larger lgbtq+ community. Echo chambers filled with toxic positivity that aren't just okay with being shoved in a box and labelled, they outright seek it out and demand it.
Everything is so much easier when everyone just lives their fricking lives together, instead of sequestering themselves away in some weird mental space.
There's two kind of trans people, from my experience(i've met a bunch irl, i work at a quite liberal place)
There's the online vocal homosexuals, who wants the world to burn and kneel before them. They're not bad people because they're trans, they're just a bunch of degenrates who jumped on what they perceived as the "easy" ship.
Then there's the one you meet in real life( as in they actually go to work and stuff, they don't just wander around looking like monsters and screaming, they literally just maybe crossdress, maybe a guy got breasts)
Those ones tend to be much more understanding, because they're really just people who are uncomfortable in their bodies and don't know how to cope with that.
I think the big thing I've noticed is that being trans or not doesn't matter, a shitty person stays a shitty person. My best friend is FtM and I like him because he's down to Earth, respectful and yet completely irreverent. Also insanely good at vidya; that homosexual completed the Hollow Knight pantheon shit while I was stuck on Nightmare King Grimm.
Imagine hanging out willingly with mentally I'll trans people.
Kys
Make me.
Anime site
Pretty much what
says. Insecurity in their identity and feelings of inferiority and powerlessness so large leads to so much fragility that they absolutely must spew vitriol at any who don't play to the desires of themselves or others they themselves perceive as inferior and identify with. The mind of these individuals is not one that seeks improvement, confidence, self-development and they must attack those who have or seek them. This is not a purely sexual issue, but a self-realization one.
Then there's the second kind, like
describes, who recognize some individualistic apsirations and can remain more secure in themselves, and separate themselves from a collective identity they could find easy solace in. E.g. The media's depiction of what a homosexual or transexual should be.
Love the sinner hate the sin, anons. Do not hate the troony, pity and help them as your brothers they are.
>oof
It's funny how you can immediately tell the writer spends 24 hours a day on twitter. You can't make this shit up, lmao
it is, most autists on the internet can only take shit at face value. The most out of place panels are being posted with no context.
Behold! The liar.

Anon that page isn't a joke in-context, it's 100% serious
Anon Flintstones was always meant to be a weird adult sitcom cartoon, it makes sense that the comic would have this sort of take. It was pretty good too.
Please tell me there's troony into women sex in this hentai
I am not joking when I say freedom of speech and artistic expression were a mistake. deviance from the old norms should have been an instant death sentence
They were not mistakes. The mistake was people believing the subjectivists that all that matters is that some individual somewhere might appreciate it and so the artists cannot be shamed and ostracized when they put out shit.
norms circa when
What are the old norms anon.

Comics and manga have never not been political.
And then there's this gay
It's true though. Politics as a concept is just people acting on their belief systems, and belief systems might as well describe fricking everything about you, including the kind of content you want take for people.
Interests. If you want to see politics dominated by beliefs, look at reformation europe.

I need to go to bed.
Shut up, you reductionist moron. You aren't half as clever as you think you are.
Well if you are so smart explain it then.
Not going to debate you.
have a nice day, you disingenuous chodes.
Because you don't have an argument to stand on. You're just angry and lashing out because that's the only thing you've got these days. You've forgotten to actually think.
Protip, this is an anonymous site. You don't have to fit in.
You stand on your arguments?
Not up for debate? Not confident enough in your opinions to fight for them? No wonder you used reductionist, I take it you try to gatekeep genuine discussion behind complexity because you need gymnastics to convince yourself you're not a fraud. How's that for buzzwords? This was all just my opinion though so you do you, hombre.
Not reading your post.
Thanks for the W. Enjoy your echo chambers.
Says the gay who wants to assimilate Ganker into his echo chamber.
The frick are you talking about? You haven't even argued anything, you basically said shit was moronic and flipped off everyone who had something to say. You could've engaged, but I guess it's easier to call people who say shit you don't like gays. Frick me, I'm on Ganker. I guess I should've known better then to talk to someone who actually lives and breathes the fricking echo chamber, unlike your vapid accusation.
Just a warning, but don't claim bait at this point. If you do, I'll frame your fricking posts on my wall. Incredibly sad display.
>You haven't even argued anything
Gee, you think? It's almost as if I told you from the beginning that I would make no attempt to, but here you still art, trying to goad me into a debate.
Why would I need anything else? People like you don't argue honestly in the first place, an insult and a dismissal is as good as anything else.
So you're not only wrong and have no argument but also a child.
Nope.
Oh shit, I didn't even see
. That one didn't (You) me.
Anon this post doesn't make you look very good. You know that, right? No one will ever give a shit about yours or anyone else's high horse if you're not even willing to explain it. Of course, I guess that makes you like the .1%. Not only thinking highly of yourself compared to us, but hiding behind your wealth so you never need to face it. Of course, that's just how I see it. I mean it's okay to step away from ana regiment, but don't do that while asserting you're right and just don't want to take to morons. Also why are you still here?
Anon I hope to god this isn't bait, holy shit.
*an argument.
Quick anon, attack my typos. It's the only ammo you got!
>Anon this post doesn't make you look very good. You know that, right?
Oh no, not social shaming from a Twitterite!
I don't care about convincing you or making you feel welcome.
Thank you for giving me a good time, anon. I hope you have a blessed day. Will unironically, genuinely be rooting for you.
Okay.
Nah, be a little more grateful than that you fricking intellectual spaz. Hah, just kidding. If you really want the last word though, you better act fast.
Go on, take it. I know you want it. It's yours if you need it. I won't follow up. Promise.
So are you going to actually defend yourself or just call everyone a moron and get huffy?
Can you not read? I explicitly stated I have no interest in debating you and would much rather insult you.
And that is literally all you have.
yeah i love those old non-political pieces of media, like metal gear solid, the iron giant, astro boy, godzilla...
>metal gear solid
Every time. You idiots are so predictable.
>2+2 equals 4...?
>you guys are so predictable
Reminder that Metal Gear Solid is an unapologetically leftist series.
I never really got that and I'm pretty left leaning.
>reductionist
It's nice to have a buzzword to break apart takes you don't like, huh?
>takes
They're called opinions, you brain dead zoomers.
A take is an opinion stated as fact.
Go back to Ganker, or Twitter, or ResetGender, or whatever gay hole you crawled out of.

Think? No, I don't want to be around you specifically. You are an annoying, sophomoric child, and it is so many orders of magnitude more difficult to convince you why you are moronic than it is to just insult you that I have no reason to bother. When I read one of your dumb frick "hurr everything is political" posts, I instantaneously know the logical error you have made, but I also know that there is no way to sufficiently dumb it down to get you to understand it.
I'm screencapping this shit, holy frick.
Should I check r/Ganker or?
>it's too hard to explain
>you wouldn't get it]
>you're just too immature and too uninformed to know how wrong you are
It's like hypocrisy splooged in your moronic mom's womb only after it fricked your dad into a closet homo
According to you and no one else.
You're right, that's my take
>Comics and manga have never not been political.
That's more of a fact than an opinion. There might be room to nitpick about what is and isn't political but practically it's a statement that is either true or false.
OPINIONS ABOUT AND INVOLVING WHAT, FRICKKNUCKLE
But it's true.
The absolute peak of brainlet takes
What do you think the first manga and comics were?
Astro Boy and like...Krazy Kat?
Astro Boy was full of politics and ethics though?
Astro Boy had entire issues dedicated to anti-robot "racism", civil rights, and other heady topics. Osomatsu-kun did basically nothing but talk about current events between the absurd children's comedy parts. GeGeGe no Kitarou was written by a war veteran with the shameless social commentary of a Roald Dahl novel.

After generations of the government fricking over vets you'd think people would be wise enough not to join. Oh well, thankfully they do and I don't get drafted.
it's still an easy job to get with zero qualifications and recruiters still have a great propaganda pitch
It's great for people in shit situations as a chance to get out of their shit situations. Which probably isn't what you actually want for an armed force but who knows.
There's a recruiting crisis for a reason.
I was going to say that this whole Flintstones comic looked like absolute cringe but that bottom panel is a good joke.

Alright. I'm gonna read this. It seems like genuinely fun satire.
>plato's cave
Perfect
>
Well shit, so that's where that last panel came from.
It was a bizarre comic but oddly compelling.
I felt it made sense. The original Flintstones cartoon was a cartoon for adults, being less about wacky yabba dabba doo hijinx and more about society viewed through the lens of prehistoric times. It only got the association of being for children later. The comic just took that and updated it for modern times.
It was actually a pretty solid comic, you're just looking something to be angry at.
Welcome to comics. They fricking suck.
This. I don’t get how people can get into comic books. They’re so fricking lame.
Some are pretty cool
If politics has blinded you so much that you can't see good satire, then you're beyond hope.
It's satire, it's just weird satire. It's the fricking Flinstones, man.
You mean the comic about cavemen living in a prehistoric version of 20th century America? The only reason they wouldn't riff on Vietnam in the TV show was that it was for kids. But it's entirely in fitting with the theme of the comic.
Anon please check the dates for US involvement in the war, then when the Flintstones aired.
check the dates Christ was born, then check the dates the Flintstones Christmas episodes took place
never stopped them before
That is an extremely dumb argument.
check when the Korean War was, dumdum
Which was satire too.
>good satire
>good
old Flintstones was good satire
>huuuuurrrr I'm gonna make hello kitty take xanax and botox to satirize the fashion industry. IT isn't stupid and gimmicky to take a family friendly wholesome IP with a daaaaaark twiiist
It is not satire, it is stupid shit that millennials make to appear "adult".
The Flintstones is an adult cartoon, but the charm behind it was that children weren't able to understand the adult undertones until they grew up. Nowadays, gen xers and millennial make it so stupidly cartoony and dark to sound "deep". Comics like these aren't cleverly written, they are tremendously dumb screeds that miss the entire purpose.
So you don't know what satire is. Got it!
You don't know what good writing is. Got it!
Go read actual literature instead of dumb picture books that retcon and subvert shit to sound "deep".
So have you read it? Or are you just angry?
>Go read actual literature
such as?
This is a great book. Really short too, you could read it in a day.
The Great Gatsby, one of my favourites.
OH NO NOT THE SACRED CANON OF THE FLINTSTONES
Ok, let me explain this to you: Flintstones is "the modern stone age family." The comics premise is to move "modern" from the 60s to the 2010s. Thats it.
Where's the comedy? The Flintstones is an animated sitcom.
The comedy is in the comic, it's on you to read it and decide if you find it funny.
Why would I go read it when every picture in this thread isn't funny and looks like garbage?
Because people are posting the pages most likely to bait culture warriors into giving them (You)s. Haven't you been in a comics thread before?
Opinions are opinions, they're not objective truth. But I guess you have to think it's objective truth for it to be an authentic opinion? Still, that leaves two types of people: Those who respect opinions and those who actively assert their opinions as fact over everyone else's. The latter deserve a lifetime of nightmare and pain honestly, but that's just my opinion.
If you don't like people who are genuinely unable to distinguish between fact and opinion, you're on the wrong board.
Do you eat paint chips?
>tell people they need to read
>can't even read examples of the work you are critical of
>angry at the pictures
??????
There are several jokes from the comic posted in this very thread
honestly, it's just entertaining to see the cartoon cavemen deal with stuff that is more obviously dark
>the Flintstones is a cartoon
Anon you are such a fricking homosexual
IT was part of a whole mini-series, basically realistic takes on Hanna-Barbara IPs in conjunction with DC. The Banana Splits ended up becoming the new Suicide Squad after the old one got kidnapped, and there was a Space Ghost and Green Lantern crossover too.
Man I forget the flintstones one wasn't the only one, all the others were pretty meh but I recall one in particular was really shit, flintstones maybe?
>all the others were pretty meh
Batman vs Elmer Fudd was weird but in a good way.
Did Fudd ask for Batman to wait, to have time grab to barrel of his gun, turn it around and swing at him?
he's just that good
I liked the Yogi Bear deathstroke one.
>he killed Jabberjaw
wtf, what an butthole
The actual space ghost or talk show host space ghost?
the Dick Dastardly one was a wild ride
>Detective Comics Comics published actual unironic bimbofication
what a time to be alive
It's not for serious
Just incase you are a zoomer and dont know what Flintstones is, the whole premise is a satire of modern society but in cave man times, they have cars where the passengers just stick their feet through the floor and run really fast etc. Its satire anon, they are not trying to rewrite history.
>clubs
are you moronic or just blind?
is this fricking satire?
What do you think anon?
Yes
Ok this is some god-tier ludo shit
You bet your ass it is
Wut I'm so confused.
We participated in a genocide, Barney.
Wait..What?
>Fred Flintstone survived an attack from adult versions of Bam-Bam.
>One panel shows him kill one of them who got close
>Fred fought off an alien invasion using stone aged tech.
Is he caveman Rambo?
Unironically yes.
Honestly, I thought he was going to go on about killing of the neanderthals at first.
The Lodge they go to in the cartoon is a parody of Lodges that Vets from the Korea/Vietnam war would attend. Implying that they've fought in a war before.
is it not just a parody of mason lodges
being a mason was really common among upper middle class wasps back in the '60s and before
source: my grandfather was one
Lodges like that had a ton of veterans in them in the 50s and 60s because a lot of men served in WW2 and Korea
well sure but they weren't veteran exclusive or anything
being in a lodge doesn't imply one is a veteran
Being a man period in the 50s-60s implied you were a veteran
Most men were members of social clubs for centuries. TV was the beginning of the end for the social club.
No
The Last of Us Part One is looking like it's going be the best game ever made.
So I would say yes... absolutely.
>asks that question while posting a remake that even staunch critics can admit the quality of
The Flintstones image? Is that comic good?
I love these comics.
yeah it's pretty good
it does occasionally lean left if that bothers you, though
Been reading it, it's really nice. Thanks.
>Is that comic good?
Yeah I'd say so. Surprisingly deep and introspective while having lots of good dark humor.
It's just a what if they were nazis/generic oppressive empire but then repented plot
Pic related should've gotten a PS4/XBOne port instead of a fricking watered down 3DS one with muddy textures and low resolution.
>newer AAA games are bad
FTFY
they should stop making news games until i finish my backlog tbh
>backlog
Video games is a hobby, not a job. Just play what you feel like and leave the rest.
I actually like this new crop of comics compared to the originals.
Yeah, the jokes are more varied than the original batch's "he is autistic and dont get girls advances" schtick
there's a whole bunch of lames ones as well to "balance" out the good ones. Nobody posts them for obvious reasons.
There is no contradiction between saying game developers and publishers should stop trying to milk past success and new games are bad. By definition remakes and remasters are new, and lo and behold, just like original titles they end up sucking because so many developers and publishers can't make good games.
>since A is shit, B has a right to exist
>muh false dichotomy
I would comment on how this cartoon is a room temp IQ take, but then I suddenly remembered these are the people who think women can have penises
>chaser myself and old enough to remember when they marketed themselves as the 3rd gender
>before we got fricking 50 different genders (and all of them fat & ugly)
I personally really liked the Crash trilogy remake. I personally didn't notice anything wrong with the physics and proceeded to 100% all 3 games with no problems. having the time time trials added to 1&2 was worth any minor downgrade to me.
One thing that annoyed me is that IIRC the Crash 2 remake doesn't tell you about the long jump and high jump
I understand hating remakes on a laziness principle, but these people that hate remakes because they replace or displace the originals are delusional fanboys. I'd rather have AAA churn out endless remakes than new shit considering the absolute fricking state of the industry, at least the foundations will be solid, leave the new IPs to indies.
This was one of the first subversive comics before it became to hottest thing to do, but it's actually well done and not in your face about it.
this came out in fricking 2016, five years after Miles Morales was introduced
>implying Miles Morales was somehow subversive
>literally replaced a white superhero and took his name
Spider Man has always been a mantle and not a guy.
lol
So you've never read spider man.
Spider-Man was not "always" a mantle and it arguably wasn't even during the Clone Saga. Miles was the first instance of trying to push it as a mantle.
Those clones weren't Peter though. TONS of people have been Spider Man. The whole point of spider man is that anyone can be him, he's an average guy given powers and tasked to use them responsibly. He'll, Octavious has been Spider Man. And Miguel wasn't white either.
Otto Octavius became Spider-Man by LITERALLY killing Peter and replacing him. And he came after Miles, who established the trend in modern comics.
Miles didn't start shit or even popularize it, it's been happening for ages now.
he sure as frick popularized doing it with a minority/woman, you couldn't swing a cat in the next few years without hitting a superhero that'd been replaced by one or the other.
I'd say that Renee Montoya is the big one honestly.
The Question isn't anywhere near Spider-Man's popularity, and Renee didn't get a huge marketing blitz as HOLY SHIT LATINA LESBIAN QUESTION GUYS
I forgot she exists. At least she was a character before that, and didn't she spend a full year working with the Question before taking over his role?
Having a super-villain hijack your body, steal your life, and take over your superhero role to satisfy his superiority complex (which the title makes a point of emphasizing) isn't exactly your standard "passing the mantle" script.
Miguel is the first time it was a mantle and that was in the 90s.
>peter parker
>a couple of literal clones
>miguel o'hara
yeah totally a mantle anyone can pick up his spider-suit and suddenly have stickem powers
IT WAS RELEASED IN 2016. WHAT THE FRICK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
Show me 3 other pieces of extreme subversive comics like this
Batgirl (
) introduced this character in 2011 (and used her for the first transgender wedding in comics in 2015)
This comic
started in 2015
As previously stated, Miles Morales, who started the "minority character replaces white character trend" in the modern era, was introduced in 2011
Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel started in 2012
Jane Foster became Thor in 2014
Nick Fury was written out and replaced with his black son also named Nick Fury in 2014
The Question was killed and replaced with a Latina lesbian in fricking 2007
etc
None of that is extreme subversion.
Flintstones was a niche humor comic that didn't sell all that well despite critical praise.
Carol Danvers was the star of a billion dollar movie, Jane Foster as Thor JUST got a movie, Nick Fury was essentially made into a villain so they could replace him with Samuel L. Jackson
None of that addresses my statement. How are those extreme subversion?
killing off and replacing white men with blacks and women is more subversive than putting a darkly comic twist on the modern stone age family
So who was killed off to be replaced? Ultimate Peter and....?
>Ultimate Spider-Man
>Thor was made unworthy
>Captain Marvel (but that was in the 80s so we'll give it a pass)
>Nova
>Nick Fury (I don't think he's dead but he's been written out almost entirely)
>The Question
>Doctor Fate
>Green Lantern (Forma Original) was made into a homo
>also I think Hal Jordan was dead when they introduced Simon Baz
>Captain America (was only made old but then was made into a literal Nazi)
>Ghost Rider
>Hulk
>Wolverine
>Hawkeye
inb4
>b-but most of the originals came back
it still happened, and in some cases the legacies have completely supplanted the originals regardless
in contemporary comics before Swamp Thing itself? Not really
Do you even know what extreme subversive is?
Replacing a character that has been done since the dawn of comics is nothing subversive.
Having the power puff girls grow up to become prostitutes and drug addicts is, making a comic about flintstones where they are in the "Vietnam war" and dealing with dark stuff is subversive.
Replacing a comic character with another comic character has always been done and nearly is expected.
Wait, is that Powerpuff girls one a thing? I might read that after this flintstones one.
it was a CW series that filmed a pilot so awful it got shitcanned before it could release
You two are talking about different types of subversion, that is why your argument is going nowhere.
Is talking about 'cultural subversion' or subverting cultural or societal expectations.
Is talking about 'tonal subversion' which is subverting expectations for the tone or narrative theme of a work.
the leftist is intentionally muddying the waters instead of engaging with the other guy's point
Morrison's Doom Patrol, Alan Moore's Swamp Thing, The Boys, Wonder Woman Earth One, Rusell's Prez, Keatinge and Campbell's Glory
How are any of those subversive? Are you going to argue that edgy comics like Swamp Thing was not a thing?
>but it's actually well done and not in your face about it.
Eh, seeing Fred Flinstones talking about war crimes and having PSTD is as in-your-face as you can get.
I don't know why this made me think of Crossed. Maybe it's the artwork.
How about spinoffs?
sauce pretty please?
scoob and shag
The modern "Um actually, Friend Zoned isn't a thing! And if it was, it would be awesome!" reaction is somehow even sadder than people complaining about being Friend Zoned.
Every person who writes a "friend zoned is cool!" story? Was probably friend zoned and is in denial and trying to rationalize getting blown the frick out by an alpha chad/stacy.
Are the wonder twins human? They look like weird elves.
they're aliens who get super horny during thunderstorms
You can't even refute this...
But you can?
Every women will friendzone you and you'll end up alone in the end.
Oh and as a bonus you will see all your female friends start a happy family while you will be constantly reminded only a life of loneliness awaits you.
>family in 2022
It's not as pleasant as you might think.
These girls don't treat you like a friend, they treat you - like an item.
That's what women think friendship is
Just look at how they treat each other
Sometimes I wish I could be more than just an accessory to these women
I like friends, maybe they'll respect me.
that just makes you a beta cuck.
It’s amazing that people on this website will openly admit that they are totally unlikeable and don’t know how to make friends, yet are unaware of it
>wanting to be friendzoned by females
>anon can you: change my oil, move my fridge, kill a mouse, fix my sink, etc etc etc etc etc
That's like wanting to be a part-time slave
>females
None of my female friends have ever asked me to do menial tasks for them. I’m just going to reiterate that it’s embarrassing how you don’t know how to make actual friends
They assume you are weak and/or incompetent.
Anon please. Anon is clearly a normliologist. He knows all about normalgays and what they do even though he doesn't go outside or talk to people and just gets his entire worldview from his computer screen.

i thought that Flintstones comic was supposed to be good?
The comic is literally "what if Flintstones but subversive and real life politics!"
Why?
Zoomers love subversive shit about childhood stuff
That's been going on way before zoomers. It's just weird.
Because Flintstones was literally just "generic '60s sitcom but stone age". It was made as a subversion of the typical Full House shows, a genre so old hat that nowadays "the '60s sitcom being subverted" is itself being DOUBLE dubverted and even THAT is old hat.
You sure sound mad about it.
if it wasn't for the godawful console loadtimes, Id say CTR. as it stands, the best remake I've played yet is the SMB3 remake all the way back on the GBA.
Yeah. Tomb raider anniversary is probably one of my favourites with RE1, MGS:The twin snakes, yakuza kiwami 2, bard's tale and star ocean : the first departure. They're more playable replacements for the original games.
yeah, metroid zero mission
American comics used to be so soulful...
this was written by a Irishman
Was it? Seemed American as frick to me, the way it was written. Even got an award for an immigrant story with Superman
Yep. Quite famously. The artist is Irish too.
Ain't that something, huh.
Remember reading in an afterward where he wrote a story once and forgot Monagan had powers.
Pretty hypocrital considering how many necks Diana has fricked.
>how many necks Diana has fricked
what does this mean bro
The running Wondy joke is that she hates necks. You know the villain in the second WW movie? In the comics she fricking breaks his neck. She slits throats and decapitate enemies pretty frequently.
When all you have is a rope, a sword, and your bare hands, every problem looks like a neck.
Thanks anon, I don't watch capeshit, that's pretty based
what is this from?
http://readallcomics.com/justice-league-hitman-2/
JLA/Hitman
Irish or american who doesn't shut the frick up about being irish?
Both born in Belfast and lived much of their lives there
leeeeel
this is so on-the-nose and moronic it almost loops back into being funny in an "laughing AT it and not WITH it" kimd of way.
almost.
You want to see something REALLY fricking funny, look up "Miles Morales Thor." And then approach it with the knowledge that the people who made it *legitimately* believed they were making something to proudly advance the cause of diversity in comics.
>BY ODIN'S FADE!
WTF I FIND BLACK NERD WOMAN HOT NOW
Well these guys have terrible taste
You call a smoking hot white blonde, hot butter.
You call a black woman thats hot, hot chocolate.
These writers are moronic.
Best one
I actually always thought this was pretty funny and not meant to be taken seriously. Also canonically Bor is a huge fricking butthole.
Anon, everything involving fem Thor is like that
Everything
>UNSOLICITED OPINIONS ON ISRAEL?!?!?
To this day I still don't know if those opinions were meant to be pro or anti israel
hitman is great, he has a great exchange with superman as you have mentioned.
It really stuck with me too, rather memorable for such a short story. Do you happen to have it on hand?
>Are remakes ever good?
Yes, sometimes
God. Modern day cape comics seems to be absolute trash. Where the hell are Marvel and DC finding these shit writers?
>modern
Anon...
That being said it's mostly just Marvel trend chasing but not really understanding "fellow youth."
I was extremely impressed with Black Mesa. Is it better than the original? In many ways, yes, but the original still has its charm that I recommend everyone playing at least once.
Grand dad?
i get the feeling that kimetsu outselling the entire comic industry wasnt hyperbole after all
anyone have that one sonic panel where he throws dirt and somehow runs across it like a bridge?
>some say the flintstones comic is surprisingly pretty good
>some say it's shit
Well which is it?
Why don't you find out?
probably depends on your political leanings.
I thought it was alright but the schtick did get a little old. It's not that long.
if you're ok with some occasional left-wing politics and putting a somewhat subversive/realistic but still funny twist on an old beloved property
>surprisingly good
if you get triggered by anything being different from what you remember liking as a child
>it's shit
>If you are a scum subverting lefty like me is good
Sure thing
read it yourself and stop letting other people tell you how to think like a cuck
If you watched a page in this thread and it made you giggle, then you will like it, simple as, every other measure is irrelevant
>watched a page
What has youtube done to this generation
>What has youtube done to this generation
Nothing, im just ESL
they can in a vacuum, but the concept of remakes has been absolutely abysmal for the video game industry

>Hominid Resources
Say that's pretty good
>spend all day smashing rocks into pebbles
>get paid in said pebbles
lmao
That's nothing, look at their shapes
hey that's pretty good
Isn't the Flintstones currency clams?
It's both, apparently clams are dollars and stones are cents, but any actual conversion/value is never made clear
Millenials and genxers can't ever leave the "use the minigun against the teletubbies" phase.
fleenstones?
good comic
I neved undertood this "everyone feels alone so people just find purpose to their life". Like, trying to encompass every though in an answer so it can be interpreted as that belief.
I like to think people are bored all the time, so life is valued as how bored you aren't and that makes your value more. Which most poeple think "yeah, thats what i meant to find a purpose."... So i guess they are the same as the new testament, were anything can be morphed into what God said.
But I guess that belief works because not everyone is convinced as I am that living is fun, i guess.
Specifically for humans the purpose of life is to seek their own happiness, the life long road with infinite bifurcations unique to every one of us but one same goal for everyone, everything we do and everything we are and strive for is for that sensation, happiness.

Does anyone actually like this flintstones comic?
It looks so awful and completely misses the point of the original series.
the point was comedy
this looks pretty funny to me
No
original environments are peak comfy
Since this wound up turning into an image thread of one of my favorite comics of the last decade, I think I'll contribute.
If you're curious about whether you'll like the comic or not, check it out on readcomiconline.li and, if you like it, I encourage you to purchase the recently-released hardcover – https://www.amazon.com/Flintstones-Deluxe-Mark-Russell/dp/1779514972/ref=sr_1_1?tag=ganker-20&crid=3PFV9ONBUYWZ2&keywords=russell+flintstones&qid=1659110188&sprefix=russell+flintstone%2Caps%2C104&sr=8-1
Just a wonderful satire that is also fairly heartwarming.
nice Ganker thread
Go home, Ganker. You’re drunk.
I wish, alcohol is expensive and I never feel it is worth it, but at the same time I also feel I enjoy it less but not because of the lacohol itself
goddamn wakfu human furballs
post the caveman vet on the suicide hotline and it puts him on hold
Read the thread.
even the anon edit was already posted
jej
This was an odd comic. I can't tell if I actually hate it.
wtf is this from? Who spilled ketchup everywhere?
That's the Ballad of Luther Strode
>Crossed is just edgy for the sake of it
Thats the point, the whole reason it got made was to push industry censors limits and where they seem to draw the line, and so far it seems to be simply depicting nudity, the horrific gore rape is fine, but lord forbid depicting sex and nudity in the same story.
I found wally
Holy kino
Is it any good?
Yeah, it's pretty cool
Is it finished or still ongoing?
Finished, it's only like 12 issues
Just ordered the first volume.
it's fun
I like the fact I remember this where's wally page
place lookin like when dexter fought the janitor in the cafeteria
Damn mirin calves and arms hard
Why is everyone so absolutely fricking jacked in this comic?
Even the smallest dudes are basically Arnie in his prime.
They are cavemen. Fred breaks rocks for a living.
>creators are hardcore liberals
>made Judge Dredd as a warning of fascism and police state
>accidentally made something awesome and made police look cool
>"youre not suppose to think this is cool, youre suppose to hate this character!"
Funny old world.
2000AD and Heavy Metal have a general problem of the writers making some group they hate into the antagonists and then, because this is a pulp comic for teens and college kids, making them the most hardcore motherfrickers in existence.
>problem
No, the only problem is morons who literally do not know what satire is.
Similar shit happened with the Punisher.
There is no way someone made this unironically.
I live in the south anon. Punisher variations are really common, especially Trump ones. A man that I doubt can even lift a gun.
I don't even keep up with americlap politics but lmao. Did that orange fatso even do anything besides insult a bunch of mexicans when he got elected and make a ton of autists of both sides sperg out? I still don't get why MSM hated him so much.
the border wall is still being built and the propaganda act was allowed to expire. beyond that, no. nothing really stuck. he didn't start any wars though, which makes him the best president in 40 years
Nice try, Moshe.
Trump was and still is pretty pro fascism and police state despite also hating the rule of law. Basically he loves the police as a tool to bully others but doesn't believe the laws apply to him.
you just say anything you want, then add Trump to it, then call it a political opinion don't you
Huh? He asked what Trump did in the context of the decal you dingus.
That’s the entire point of rightism though.
It's the point of authoritarianism. Everyone needs to be told what to do except me, because I know what's good for everyone and shouldn't be held back from pursuing that. And what everyone especially needs is for me to have even more money and authority.
Rightism and authoritarianism end up being one and the same 90% of the time.
He dismantled a lot of government jobs and screwed up a lot of agencies, which are still dealing with vacancies and backlogs. Not in a way to help anyone - things like fricking with the weather service, or supporting school scams because Trump ran a school scam. It benefitted his donors.
His foreign policy was also a fricking mess. He was the first president to ever meet with North Korea's leadership, and he did it immediately after their first successful nuke test. He told them they were awesome and basically informed the whole nation nukes were the right path. He got nothing out of it at all, North Korea played him like a fiddle.
That's just some of the stuff he did. On a practical level he was a total disaster, but most of his supporters focus only on the stuff he said at rallies.
It's hit or miss, but that comic is definitely more on the "hit". It's pretty damn good.
Anyway, vidya is the same: it's a hit-or-miss kind of deal.
Spawn was the last cool thing to exist.
Yeah
>company decides to remake/adapt old property and get easy money from nostalgic boomers and zoomers interested in the hype
>gives it to some middlingly competent people who are good enough to make something but need to be signposted
>middlingly competent people get big heads from all the interest from fans of the original and deviate from the source
>it turns out to be shit for the same reasons they were only trusted to adapt/remake something instead of being given a new IP
Over and over and over again, the same fricking story for the last decade+
God, I wish that was me.
Someone post that "heh, I bet you feel real stupid now" image.
Tomb Raider Anniversary
Resident Evil
Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes
Crash Bandicoot: N-Sane Trilogy
Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled
Spyro the Dragon: The Reignited Trilogy
Man this is some Silent Hill HD shit right here
I've only touched mainline SMT and DDS, but isn't fog literally the whole point of that game
It's a big part of both the aesthetic and narrative, yes. Upscaled PS2 version is the way to go if you want to play it.
>if you want to play it
No thanks. I like roleplaying but Persona makes me want to kill myself. I've read VNs that were less of a railroading slog. Probably just me. Just do not find the social stuff interesting whatsoever, since you are both forced to do it and it's on a scheduling constraint. There's games with systems like that who can integrate it into the game in a far more compelling way while also keeping it completely optional so you only do the things you actually like.
that is pretty much the subtlety of MGS yeah
Any form of art has to be colored by a persons morality, experiences, and intention. Theres going to be something there no matter what, even in Seth's garbage bin.
>Any form of art has to be colored persons
Updated for 2022*
Will we ever get a good Spawn adaptation?
We did
Spider-Man is so great. Shame the Mouse has him now.
>inb4 someone reees about a klansman being called racist
Digimon Adcenture 2020 is purdy good. OG of course is still better but its a good retelling
Agreed. The biggest letdown is how much they rushed through Millie at the end.
First post I've ever seen saying Digimon 2020 was good.
I'm gonna miss this thread.
F
Why does Jpawn do it?
very good thread i learned a lot about comics, started reading flintstones (its p nice) and even got to talk about video games
blessed day frens
>brings up the "last word" while pretending he isn't desperate to get it himself
Cool option select.
Whoops, missed.
Oho, interesting third option.
Desperation would be me actually reporting you. You were fun to pow wow with though, and you didn't leave at any point. I'm sure you got something out of it.
Have one more (You), glutton.
Dunno what this post says.
Here's another one. Eat up.
It's a race to the bottom anon. Don't catch yourself slipping
So which post set you off the most? Just for future reference.
Bait is supposed to make people angry anon. If not even that is a requirement anymore, then you're just a filthy junkie. Trolling used to mean something, not just be a vehicle for bitter misanthropes.
Which one? Was it the first post?
You don't have to pretend, I already know.
Didn't even see your initial post, that provided some critical context. Thanks for the crash course in extremely thorough bait.
