Within the universe of The Division, killing the people you kill in The Division is justified. But in a work of fiction, making every criminal a violent monster you need to shoot on sight is a pretty questionable writing decision.

A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.
i was looking through a list of miyazaki films after simon was talking about that fake weeaboo in his interviews but i don't think i've seen any of those
You should watch Princess Mononoke then, its my fav Miyazaki movie by a mile
...to me that was the most boring one!
I prefer Howl's Moving Castle, Porco Rosso, Spirited Away, and My Neighbor Totoro, in about that order. Beneath that, the other ones I like but don't necessarily recommend generically.

seriously though what was the plot of Akira?
Like, I get that it's the future and Tokyo is in a bubble or there was a nuke or something right?
Then there's a biker gang, and a fight, and two kids get arrested or something, and one gets weird super powers and there's drugs called capsules. I got that. I think?
Then out of nowhere biker boy has some ridiculous space laser and there's a fight.

It's odd that the Akira manga had a bunch of cool badass female characters, while the movie had exactly one girl whose entire role was to show her boobs and then eventually get killed

Didn't the anime have a female resistance fighter who Kaneda was mooning over?

on the one hand they want to call all modern military shooters bland, brown-hued hoo-rah american jingoist war drum hammering. for the finer, more sophisticated nerd-liberal we have spec ops the line, the only acceptable shooter because it faces you with the mirror of your xenophobia, etc etc

Oh, yeah, she's still cool. Though I don't think she ever really gets a chance to do much, whereas she has her own storylines in the manga.

wandering be honest
wasn't i just pulling complete phrases from your brain
I mean, Tom Clancy games etc are so far outside my purview that I'm not super likely to go on angry rants about them. They're like Stephen Segal movies - I am only vaguely aware that they exist
This does remind me that I've been meaning to play Spec Ops the Line tho

Much like Ghost in the Shell, I think there's a gap between explaining the plot of Akira, the film, and Akira, the manga, and there's often a degree to which people conflate the two in their explanations, as though there is a solitary, consistent "order" that underpins the two

Shoes and bro supplements
Actually I haven't noticed much difference with the shoes. Maybe once they're fully broken in? They aren't super aggressive or really much different than the rental models.
i was looking through a list of miyazaki films after simon was talking about that fake weeaboo in his interviews but i don't think i've seen any of those
I have seen princess mononoke which is so so, and I think one other?

I don't think the Akira movie had Chiyoko so it is infinitely worse than the manga.
I guess it's on PC or PS3?
