this dude at the games workshop store had the following pins and buttons on his laptop bag:
a pickle-rick putton
a pepe button
a pin of solaire praising the sun
an imperium aquila pin
a bunch of other shit i forget
so when some other dude in the store tried to talk to him about Rick and Morty and he turned into a little dipshit about it like
uh
i dunno there's a lot going on there beyond "he was a shitty R&M fan"
y'know?
there's a whole tapestry
I don't know what the imperium aquila is but I'm guessing WH40k?
I mean the pepe is the only one there that stands out as being a red flag of a person to avoid. Pickle Rick button is a maybe, that's gotten a little too much associated cringe.
I guess I'm just not seeing how this helps paint a picture other than it being a person into nerdy stuff.
There is an episode where Rick gets black out drunk and does a bunch of horrible stuff. Then he sees a video of himself and starts saying to people something along the lines of "Oh shit that's drunk Rick be careful I don't know what he's up to." . The important thing to me was that he said he as if it was clearly an other. As an addict and alcoholic I really felt like that showed how we think. Blackout drunk DUE and the person typing to you right now are two different people and I generally tend to have no idea what the wasted version of me does but he is surprisingly capable. I am not proud of that but when someone says "we talked for an hour last night" and I have no memory of it that has become so routine that I just shrug it off and take another drink. I don't think Rick is presented as a protagonist at all but I see him as a troubled and terribly flawed narcissistic individual who has hurt everyone around him in some weird effort to make up for the fact that he can't find happiness. I think that is the message of the show. Not that it's good to be Rick. Unfortunately, it seems like less experienced people just see it as a message to be an asshole. For me when they talk about Rick making a video and soiling himself without remembering i'm thinking "haha i've been there" but also I do recognize that i'm a vile and horrible person.
The thing is though I think Rick is set up to be that. I cannot see any point where Rick is shown to be an intelligent arbiter. He is pragmatic and cruel and his family idolizes him for no reason other than the fact that he wooed them with charisma. Is the show bad because people don't see that or am I reading more into it because of my personal experiences of being a moderately charismatic drunk asshole?
I feel like that kind of stuff is undermined by
Nihilistic claptrap like this at the end of ABCs of Beth:
There's a lot of misanthropic philosophy in there that's Harmon's own, about how smart people are burdened in a way that ordinary or stupid people are not, blah blah blah jerk-off motions, and it's pathetic and demonstrably wrong?
But golly is it a soothing balm to disaffected angry white nerds who feel like all they fucking have is their intellect as their identity.

I’m sure I have strong opinions on the preponderance of certain types of personalities relating positively to characters that are largely meant to be unlikable. But I’m on the toilet, so, the short version is: you, the artist, gotta be careful with that shit.
Just making a character the protagonist by itself affects how the audience will interpret a character and start framing assumed authorial intent

Pony I'm going to say you should really watch the finale. The episode ending you're talking about is basically part 1 and a lot of those things are resolved in part 2.

Driving for most of automotive history: non-antilock brakes fail to stop head-on collision because there are no divider walls and the driver is impaled through the chest by the steering column
Passengers bounce around and die inside like a pachinko machine
On the other hand, tail fins
Good with the bad, folks, good with the bad
A good friend of the family loved antique cars. He was a pathologist, and we often had him over for holiday dinners. He died when driving one of those cars back from Iowa. He got into a collision and was impaled by the steering column.
I did inherit all of his medical textbooks, as this happened shortly after I was accepted into med school. But of course, I would rather have the person alive than the inherited books.

Most of the “Rick and Morty fans are terrible” evidence is manufactured copypasta jokes on the level of “what the fuck did you just say about me you fucking little bitch I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the navy seals and...”

I think I'll hard pass, actually!
Not because I'm calling you a liar, but because to be quite honest, I don't think the show earned my faith or time.
I will drop the issue though, and take it in good faith that you're right and I'm talking out of ignorance because, to be fair, I didn't finish the season because it turned me off.
I started my pc gaming career on a trackball mouse. I don't even remember why. But really mouse look wasn't originally in fps games.
It wasn't in the first couple iterations (DOOM/DN3D) but I think the original quakes allowed it as an option and it was standard by quake 3 / unreal / half-life in '98

I'm not really sure what you could shout in place of that and get a positive reaction.
I got really down after my first marathon, too. You build this thing up in your head for a year and then it’s over, which I think often has a big effect. I didn’t run nearly as fast as I’d hoped so I ended up pretty depressed about it for a while.

Is there a term for a small but vocal part of a thing eventually corrupting the whole thing? I feel like I'm seeing this constantly with stuff. Some of it's organic and some of it feels purposeful (like the political stuff) and with the way fanbases work and stuff like reddit pushing things up without much nuance, it seems like that's a real problem. It's like Poe's Law come to life. Parodies intended to mock overzealous fans who are in the minority are being seen as actual overzealous fans and then everyone assumes the overzealous fans are a real problem. Not saying there isn't some truth to R&M fanbase being toxic or whatever but there's a lot of this happening in lots of places.

Local gaming store continues to not have any copies of Volo's Guide to Monsters, but I picked up the campaign book Princes of the Apocalypse today.
So in a couple weeks I'll go back for Storm King's Thunder and see if he's got the guild in then.
Two weeks later I'll get Out of The Abyss and that's his last chance because then I'll have all the campaign books and I'll just order Volo's guide from Amazon. :P
