Ah, I missed this in the finnish comms.

Signed. I’m livid that our fucking election infrastructure was recently outsourced to fucking Amazon.

How the hell is that independence?

I mean… They were both regular customers of a bookstore.

Their guests were probably a bunch of people from their book club. Where they probably even met.

I’m paraphrasing, but how is “you would all be better off on reddit” not an insult?

The disrespect expressed there is immense.

It’s not an argument, or piece of logic. It’s literally just “you are so wrong, you’re worse than collectively hated thing”.

Happiness is an illusion. It’s not real.

Too little, way too late.

Anyone who thinks Actiblizz deserves a chance to change is insane.

This gets easier as you become more familiar with all the items and their interactions.

I maintain my own builds for all the heroes I play.

When I pick up a new hero I generally play a few games completely improvising, so I get a feel for what does and doesn’t click for me with that hero, so I can cover my weaknesses and build to my strenghts.

As an example, when I started off with Mina, I went for fire rate to make getting love bites easier. Eventually I noticed my feel for her gun was good enough that I no longer needed it.

I plan out three tiers of items to try to buy every game, and then I have an “optional” category of a bunch of stuff that might be contextually useful, or fun to try.

If I find something fun or effective, I move it to the main categories.

OK, don’t edit your comment.

They asked, without demanding. And while you could take their mention of removal as a threat, I take it as a dare to be reasonable, since they are pointing out that you might be aiming to push their buttons more than make a point for others to see.

“You’d be better off on reddit” is what probably set them off here, and I don’t see why’d you stand by that. Piefed isn’t worse than reddit, claiming it is doesn’t make any kind of logical argument, it just illustrates that you’re either on the trolly or unhinged side of the subject.

Regardless of which it is, they’re literally inviting you to make your case, as long as you tone down the stuff that’s more likely anger than convince.

I would not have complied with that. Or maybe I’d have edited in a quote to replace the link as malicious compliance.

But theyre also not trying to deny the presence of the “social score” you’re criticizing. They’re actually engaging with you, so until they fly off the handle in response to you reacting reasonably, react reasonably.

Hmm.

This can’t possibly backfire.

They’re basically telling you to be kinder in how you make your points, while engaging with your argument in good faith.

What’s the problem?

Just don’t slouch.

Bark!

It’s definitely worth watching, at least.

No-one is saying it isn’t.

But of course the manga “set the standard”. The parts of 2003 that were adapted from the manga, follow its writing.

The writing past that point, even if it had nothing to “follow”, and is since original, was by someone else. And in my opinion, you can tell. I watched 2003 without even knowing about Brotherhood, or the manga. And while I like it, I did feel it went “off the rails” in terms of the writing, character development and worldbuilding.

And that’s without knowing at the time that those feelings coincided with the change in who was writing the story.

As a narrative, IMO, the original manga/brotherhood is a more internally consistent narrative, with character arcs that make more sense, and a world with greater implied detail.

That is simply down to the fact that when you pass the bat on writing the way the 2003 series did. People can tell.

Like two halves of a painting done by two artists, where one didn’t expressly try to mimic the other. And even when they do, it’s never the same.

The difference doesn’t make one or the other half worse, but unlike art where creators collaborate throughout, when you “draw the rest of the owl” the “new” artist will never be able to tie up every thread the original set up, and in ways that’ll make sense in the context of things only the original artist is aware of.

That said, there is nothing insulting about “non-canon”. “Canon” is just whatever the original creator says it is, ret-cons and all.

Doesn’t mean the extended Star Wars universe is suddenly worthless and bad.

And as far as transitions in writing, FA 2003 is one of the better example out there. They made something you can actually watch to the end, and not be pissed at it, because they leaned into what they did with and followed through.

Don’t forget a dozen types of throwing!

And maybe a couple types of lifting?

When you do, join us over on !dungeonmeshi@ani.social. Probably the most active community around a single anime.

Once S2 airs, I bet the discussion threads will be even better than during S1.

I couldn’t help by notice the lack of Dungeon Meshi.

A note on Fullmetal Alchemist.

Brotherhood is the “canon” adaptation.

The original anime cought up with the manga, and then just made up its own story. It’s not bad, but IMO it doesn’t hold up to the standard set by the manga.

Bortherhood is a faithful adaptation, and with higher production quality to boot.

YESSSS!!!
