I'm probably not going to get deep into this but I'm just gonna say it depends on whether you're looking at furry-adjacent rule 34 sites that largely traffic in human/humanoids, or if you're going into actual furry internet, where you're going to get much different numbers

I doubt anyone is terribly interested in this conversation

Oh, haha. I just saw someone comment on the inspiration behind the apple dragon. Instead of a worm in the apple, it's a wyrm.

this is probably a coincidence, but it's a funny one

Damn a lot of these tweets are dead now

Homestuck/Harry Potter is a very apt comparison.

Huge young adult series that matured as their target audience did, really only makes total sense if you witnessed the ongoing phenomenon, and went down strange post-canon rabbit holes after somewhat unsatisfying endings.

ok this is a little too real

All that said I'm not really sure I'm here for Homestuck 2. I feel like Homestuck closed nicely and the story's going in a fucking weirdass direction. I guess we'll see? Where the hell is Hiveswap, that shit was actually good and isn't tied down by the incoherent labyrinth of existential horror that Homestuck has turned into

Can anyone explain this weird mystique around Homestuck to me? Like, why are the reactions in this topic, well, the way they are?

Yes, I'm totally out of the loop.

It was a serialized story for years that people grew quite attached to. I think it's great and unlike anything else anyone's ever written, but I don't think I could recommend it to everyone; it's long, nearly incomprehensible, and requires a strong tolerance for semi-philosophical nonsense. I'd recommend it to exactly the kind of person who enjoys both Undertale (similar penchances for memorable characters, deep world lore, and irreverent humor; Toby Fox connection; if you could ignore Undertale's fandom you can also ignore Homestuck's) and the Zero Escape trilogy (if you can understand VLR, that's a step towards deciphering Homestuck) but not anyone else.

The fandom's not even really bad enough to earn their reputation. They're big, they really, really like the thing to an obsessive degree, and since it's the internet, they're 90% awful, but this is going to go for anything that's big enough to be visible. I don't know why people let this impact their enjoyment of the thing, it's not really relevant to the work unless you make it. Like, yeah no shit Homestuck's a good read when you're just taking it for what it is, haha.

I guess this wasn't explicitly stated, but I always sort of thought that freezing Han in carbonite was an untested, one-time thing the Empire did as improvisation, not a standard method of prisoner transport.

But it's a STAR WARS thing that PEOPLE RECOGNIZE

it happened once in a film, and that means it happens EVERYWHERE IN THE STAR WARS UNIVERSE

If you can see 10 minutes into the future it isn't the future if you can change it. How does that work.

To be fair to Mayor Pete, he probably only thinks of Kennedy as the guy who helped Obergfell rather than the guy who helped Citizens United.

Oh hell no, if CU is the first thing i remember Kennedy for and not Obergefell, so can he

that's the part that kills me the most

congress DOESN'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO have due process for voting a president out, they can just do it.

or rather the house doesn't need due process to vote to impeach

the hearing afterwards has a little more due process to it but it's still not a criminal trial

Also also why are all these lists coming out and there's still a few major games like Outer Worlds and Death Stranding still to be released? Yeah they might not make a list of Best Games Ever but it seems weird to just dismiss them and the rest of this years games outright.

I agree if youre talking about GotY lists

But youre ALWAYS gonna have this issue whenever you put out an all-time list

agree, although I ASSUME the reason for doing this list is that it's the end of the decade

Adventure over Donkey Kong is a bridge too far for me

Donkey Kong is definitely a pretty interesting game for its time, being one of the first platformers, and feeling like it actually has a start and end point, so it feels like there is a big thing to accomplish instead of just playing forever and ever (although you still end up doing that when you end up looping)

but it's hard for me to say it offers a lot to the modern gamer, and I say that as someone who's extremely invested in the gaming of that era. like Super Mario Bros, now there's a game that still belongs in a top 100, that game kicks ass

Meh

I mean if you wanna make a holistic top 100 games list that accounts for both how good the game was at the time and how good it is now, it's not unreasonable to put Donkey Kong on it, but the pretense that you're removing historical impact from your decision makes that look foolish

I can't say I've ever really liked Donkey Kong that much anyway, like, it was mostly just that thing that you had to suffer through in DK64, I can beat the game in like a few minutes now and there isn't much more to it than that

if you're gonna go with an ancient arcade classic why not Galaga? Galaga still fucking slaps

Rock Band 1 was super janky and not nearly as polished as RB2 or RB3

oh maybe. DK '94 was pretty good I guess although it's a far cry from a top 100 game for me

like man I can tell you some games from the 80's that still kick ass to play in 2019

donkey kong is not one of them

an important game, a formative experience, but its appearance on this list is alllll historic impact

Jakyl25 posted...

This is ABSOLUTELY considering historical impact, whatever they try to claim otherwise

are you saying Donkey Kong isn't one of the top 50 hottest games to play in 2019

did people really like rise of the tomb raider THAT much

all these dang gritty brown-and-gray western action games I can't tell apart

There's only 4 SNES games in the top 20 (5 if you count SF2)

How many of these dang games are shooters

Look, I enjoy a good FPS myself but on this algorithmicly generated list to appeal to as many people as possible, did you really need both Halo 1 and 2?

Minnesota Vikings
Seattle Seahawks
Philadelphia Eagles
Chicago Bears
Detroit Lions
Tennessee Titans
Indianapolis Colts
Los Angeles Rams
New Orleans Saints
San Francisco 49ers
New England Patriots
Houston Texans
Kansas City Chiefs
Pittsburgh Steelers

Level 4:

Steelers/Dolphins 10+
Vikings/Redskins 10+

Bonus: Russell Wilson

I said it a couple years ago in a B8 topic and I'll stand by the claim: after watching The Phantom Menace for the first time in ages, I was left considering it one of the worst "not intentionally trying to be schlock" movies I've ever seen. Uninteresting plot, uninteresting characters, horrible dialogue with wooden acting, and poorly aged effects. Totally agree that the memes (which are amazing) and the movie are NOT one and the same.

Episode II was similarly shitballs but was redeemed somewhat by the subplot where Obi-Wan investigates the clone army alone. Those scenes actually had a layer of intrigue and are easily the best part of the first two movies imo.

holy shit, these are exactly my opinions

episode 1 is completely awful and irredeemable, episode 2 is nearly that except Obi-Wan's subplot is actually surprisingly solid (and even includes a genuinely good action scene with Jango Fett on the rainy planet) but the rest of it is horrid

I also hate episode 3 though, I don't get why people elevate it over the other two, it's like kiiinda more iconic and less boringly paced but that's sorta it

Better late than never, I would say something snarky about the florida GOP but this is too important

Yeah I had no idea on the total number of people impeached

I almost got #1 wrong but I remembered before clicking that Nixon was not impeached
