All my shows are comedy shows, I don't watch any of that depressing Starz/HBO shit.

I like depressing things with colorful anime characters

Pretty much, yeah. I can watch some intense stuff but only an episode or two at a time then I go back to something less thoughtful provoking.

Yeah, too many real things going on to let some fake shit ruin my mood.

There's one showtime show that my friend was trying to get me to watch- it was literally just a dysfunctional family yelling at each other non stop for 45 minutes each episode. No thanks.

Lmao same. I can't remember what it's called but it has William H. Macy, right?

Shameless!

Yeah, you know what? I sort of do. Don't get me wrong, I still love to watch some dark shows and movies, and I love me a dark comedy, but after work I tend to just flip on something silly to relax to.

I like variety.

there's one rule, you fucking fucks:

there are good things, and there are bad (as in rotten tomatoes bad)

THATS IT
---

and anything outside of that rule makes you a giant. fucking. PUSSY
---

Yeah I'm with you TC. I've noticed it most in my gaming. I prefer some lighthearted fun like Mario to unwind and relax, instead of some drab shooter
---

No I would say it's even slightly a bit stronger
---

This Anthony guy has some pent up childhood trauma that he needs to talk to a therapist about
---

I find I like silly and goofy shit less as I get older.

I think I'm the exact opposite. As I get older, I tend to only want to play games with an engaging narrative to it. Stuff like Mario Odyssey, where you're completing tasks just because the game puts them in front of you, feels pointless and time-wasting.

I honestly feel that "gritty" or "edgy" themes are rather overdone to the point of being ironic
Like, so many shows and movies try so hard to be edgy that it comes off as hilarious

"Man of Steel" is a good example
---

No, I still like gritty. Dark, gritty, edgy...all those things can be great when done right.

Punisher Warzone was one of those things that purposefully did it ironically. So good.
