Chanus Devilman Crybaby is real good as an adaptation of Go Nagai's established work, in that it absolutely doubles down on the "sex and violence go together like chocolate and peanut butter" aesthetic which pervades his oeuvre
That said, I would deffo not read the plot summary of any Devilman variation in advance, since it'll spoil you on the second half's spiral into crazytown
i am intrigued
It's also only ten episodes (though even then it could probably be cut to a tighter 8) so it isn't a huge time investment, I barrelled through it over a few days
i am definitely liking short dives after 700 hours of star trek and like 300 hours of dr who

the dr who is an estimate and probably not accurate but
I love this dude's art style but it always makes me wince a bit, the way he does his lines looks like it requires a tight pen grip + a LOT of very precise pinching pressure and then ow ow ow my hand starts throbbing just imagining it 9-9
one flower ring to rule them all and in the sunlightness bind them

I've always been on #teamcellphone when people get on about this generation is just glued to them ughghhgugu
But recent events e.g. logan paul, the continued existence of a million swedish game streamers using racial/homophobic slurs have me reconsidering my position
I think I'd be more okay with it if the vast majority of people weren't looking up the worst. shit. ever.
I know we can't legislate around bad taste but my god people it's not like there's a dearth of good content available! The whole fucking world is out there!

it's like how I have a Steam library in triple digits yet I still play fucking Hearthstone
only instead of Hearthstone, it's racism
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

I forgot to mention because I was actually out without my phone (lmao) but I sat next to this boomer couple in an Indian place not too long ago and they were like, complaining about the youth's shrunken attention spans and poor manners but they were sitting across the table from each other both reading their phones without looking up except to occasionally get a bite of food, AND they were mean to the waitress
I thought I had entered an alternate reality (just by the sheer irony, this is of course fairly common behaviour) and I moved tables so I could eat my samosas in peace

The rest are gimmicky but fun reads. Like nothing you couldn't just look up on the internet but can be nice to peruse for new ideas.
the hamilton one looks fun and i dunno kitschy?
It's p. decent but much like the medieval one that is also part of that bundle yeah a little kitschy.
Like you are not going to find any recipes in there that you're going to hand down the generations, but it'll probably make for a fun Hamilton-themed dinner party?

I read an article today about someone who interviewed several hundred teens about their social media habits, and found that overall most kids would MUCH rather see their friends in person than online, so long as it was in an unstructured way, but also overall their parents had various rules that prevented this from being possible (kids were overscheduled so there wasn't any time for socialization, kids weren't allowed to walk or drive far from home alone, kids were allowed to have friends over/go to friends' houses but were always supervised during such visits, etc.)

I'm like this close (I am holding my fingers really close together) to being an actual old and it's always been true that young people text/msn/facebook/whatever the fuck they're doing now when they can't meet face to face, as a supplement, meeting each other just as much, but staying in touch when you otherwise just wouldn't
EDIT: although grown-up eyes being on them sounds... psychotic. When I was growing up grown-up eyes were generally not on us until after we had activated the fire alarm.

right but do you have the opportunity to see most of your friends now? Do they all live close? Also it was specifically about social media, is that usually what you're doing?
it wasn't positing that in the future, these kids will continue this habit
it was saying that the current habit is a natural and obvious thing because they don't get to talk to and interact with their friends sans grown-up eyes p much any other way

I mean I do.
I try to be out and seeing people as often as I can. Yoga Fire actually gets mad at how infrequently I text because I'm just like if I'm going to see you later I'd rather have this conversation in person.
Electronic communication is awesome but I have never in my entire life preferred it to interacting with people I actually like in person.
Now it is true that people I don't want to talk to, I've interacted with more electronically or cut out of my life altogether as I've gotten older.
Hopefully this has been useful information.

I'm 22 ! that's still early 20s thanks very much! you guys called Hakkes a bab until she was like 26 or something !!
the standard olds' "kids phones grumble grumble" argument could be countered with a torrent of "people meet their grandkids for the first time over skype" imgur posts but honestly the prime argument is, a world where you can be shown boobs in a different country, instead of being restricted to those in the same post address, is an immeasurably better one

also that convo earlier about emotional intimacy and friendships was interesting to me b/c I am a person who has deeply loving and emotionally connected/open friendships that prob actually exceed the level of emotional intimacy that Pinecone and I have , simply because he hasn't been around as long, even though he and I have sex and I don't have sex with anyone else (though my other friendships are often physically affectionate in nonsexual ways).
Like, I feel like sex opens up a door to another KIND of emotional intimacy that is intrinsically linked to physical intimacy, but that doesn't necessarily bump my level of overall emotional intimacy with a person to another level or something.
For a game that inspired a pretty decent number of clones, Ultima 1 is not a well designed game even compared to Wizardry, which was released at about the same time.

I forgot how good a morning workout fits into the schedule. The only downside is a possibility that I’ll crash early, or I’m not able to concentrate as much because of tireds.
The upside is that when work ends there’s nothing but party leftover!
the closest to seamstress skills I have is that I discovered early an ability to, while just trying to operate it normally, utterly wreck a sewing machine beyond all repair
and I have been leery of touching one ever since the 5th grade
occasionally, somebody has prodded me into using one, because "it's not that hard, no you can't ruin it, wait, what the hell?", so I don't sew a lot
all my best friends live far away and i don't really have family so this guarantees- if nothing else does- that my life is closely linked to distant forms of communication

I dunno, then again I've already accepted my role in trying to make the world a better place for people younger than me and maybe not always being able to relate due to different economic and social pressures that weren't present during my youth.
