    All conversations about depressing cartoons would be better as discussions about Bojack Horseman, the depressingest cartoon.

    I'm not really sure what you could shout in place of that and get a positive reaction.

    What's worse, being cancelled or being thrown into Venture Bros type season scheduling?
    That's not CN's fault, the writers are just very chill about actually finishing the scripts.

    Someday I too will work in a segment of the tv industry that doesn't revolve around a 3pm east coast time deadline for a day's worth of content when I'm reporting from Hawaii.

    Yeah I feel like I had one shot and I messed it up :(

    Bojack as a show is at least a smart and constructive form of sad.

    i'm not even kidding this past week my mom made "spaghetti sauce" consisting of, of course, whatever the fuck was around, and KETCHUP

    it was disgusting and sweet and she only added it because the BOTTLE WAS CLOSE BY

    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 am astonished that people take it seriously.

    To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand chat humor. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical shitposting most of the jokes will go over a typical lurker's head. There's also chat's pessimistic outlook, which is deftly woven into its characterisation - their personal philosophy draws heavily from vintage erotica, for instance. The daily posters understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike chat humor truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humor in "butts" which itself is a cryptic reference to the old burlesque houses of early 20th century France. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as chat's genius unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a gengar tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

    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:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLda_P25gMQ

    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.
    Nihilism is impractical.

    "my advice is take off"

    "if nothing matters why would you do that for me?"

    "if nothing matters maybe it means that you mean so little I like you. maybe i love you."

    how is that bad? it seems to me that he is telling her to experience the universe and grow as a person because yes it turns out that we are all on big rocks living painful and inconsequential lives but that doesn't mean we can't learn and grow.

    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

    Yeah that's what I meant, like doom, dn3d, or even descent. Hell I remember playing duke with a flight stick originally. I want to say there was a specific two stick controllers sold for duke.
