About to take off from Düsseldorf and there is no way I am going to make a poll.
So we are without one.
Discuss.

Rick & Morty fans and YouTube essays always say that it's a nihilist show, but I actually argue it's a show about nihilism, like Seinfeld in a way. But its themes and what it's trying to say, as much as the writers deign to actually have one, is much more about having an absurdist existentialist worldview in the face of nihilism; Rick isn't meant to be a hero and he certainly isn't the writers' ideological headspace
It's a good show but I can't believe The Vat of Acid Episode won an emmy over Bojack's A View From Halfway Down. Now that's nihilism

Drez what kinda ring you thinking of? Princess cut? Rose Gold? Cursed Artifact?
Yeah…
There have been some not great developments in our relationship recently so things are a bit on hold now. We have to work through a few things if we can first. Sudden but it’s important we’re both happy.

I had a dream last night where I, and a bunch of other people who I "knew" were forumers, were on a lovely beach sitting cross-legged on towels; one of the people was Jeffe, as his old bandito avatar.
@Organichu was up front and was giving us a practical seminar on...breastfeeding? He told us to pick up our training baby and practice. I was very self-conscious about my hairy nipples. Chu kept using the word "latch" in a way that made me feel slightly uncomfortable, which knowing him I am sure was deliberate.

Rick (and Beth) get absolutely annihilated by the psychiatrist in season 1--and it's not like they let off him later. Writers are very direct that that dude ain't right. I always thought that hero Rick was a weird reading of the show.
I wasn't in the online convo about it so maybe there are reasons people think that? But they're obscure to me.

first time doing the spelling bee in a while and of course one of the letters today is z
so people who watched Fallout, are you able to answer in a non spoilers way if it has an ending or if they're just hoping to make more seasons some time maybe
also, I guess, was it good, does it start good or do I need to get through x episodes, etc
I realized I can't google this, not unless I want to be able to use youtube without being inundated with tons of spoilers from shorts and videos with that infuriating way they write titles of clips these days
It has a reasonably satisfying ending. Most of the central questions of the first season are answered by the end. It does setup more. They're already greenlit for a season 2.
It is very good and captured the feeling of the games well if you like those it'll probably work for you. Take an ep or two to really get going.

The answer to your question is both
Questions get answered, more get asked, ends kinda sorta cliffhanger-y
As to whether it’s good, I like it so anyone to disagree is a terrible person but you should have an idea of what you think of it but the end of the first episode, second at the most

It’s very good, you don’t need to wait X number of episodes, it basically wraps up the questions of S1 while setting itself up for a second season which has been greenlit already

Thanks

thus we fail over and over to keep you in our embrace
