@Snatcher Super’s manga is strange. It’s on a completely different track from the anime, kind of like how all the Yugioh manga got after duel monsters.

@TheJGG - I don’t think I’ve ever done a group chat, but they do sound fun. I subscribe to the first thought/best thought philosophy, especially when it comes to wit, sarcasm, and comedy. Bill Burroughs had a distinguished writing and speaking career based on it. He has a wonderfully inelegant quote on the matter that’s always stuck with me, I’ll have to edit slightly to be family friendly: Good writing should be like (diarrhea), it should just come out.

@VoidofLight Well I heard the manga was better then the anime as I heard it try's to follow the OG dragon ball more.

@Vortexeo That’s the plan! Made a start on it then I realised I was into something. Usually takes me three or four days to get one done, and it has a great start already! I’ll keep ya posted, thanks for the praise!

@bimmy-lee Come to think of it the man’s had a rather inelegant life, no? He shot his first wife after all, even if he credits that for starting his career. Brilliance punctuated by addiction, moments of true idiocy and poetry. The quote works though, the editing process shouldn’t be a rewrite but rather a fine sandpapering process.

@Tyranexx My apologies for not responding to your larger post sooner, I’ve had a very busy few days! I’ll make sure to get it out tomorrow.

@TheJGG Thank you! Yeah, mom and I both enjoyed the new one. Found some of the new characters pretty neat, the new boss baby Tina was cooler than I expected. Unlike the first movie, I really enjoyed the subplot how Tina was trying to get the two brothers Tim and Ted (the original boss baby) together again.

Indeed everyone has. I really hope people enjoy Doki Doki Literature Club, I played the original game a couple years back, one of those games best experienced knowing nothing about it. If anything, DDLC sparked my interest in visual novels. I've played Parascientific Escape, Higurashi, and Tokyo School Life because of it.

@TheJGG - Maybe he was elegantly inelegant. I’m surprised you know of him, I thought he was canceled. Is he still being taught in school, or did you encounter him on your own? I’m not exactly certain where you live, but it seems midcentury American beat lit wouldn’t be a big priority in your curriculum.

Whew...that comment section under that Metroid article yesterday...I started reading through it, then stopped when politics were thrown in for some asinine reason. I noped out of commenting in there entirely. Seems as though they've swollen exponentially since. Wouldn't surprise me if the comments are closed, but I'm staying out of there. It's not worth my time and energy.

While I certainly agree the title itself could have been framed a LOT better, I didn't find anything wrong with the written piece. There were some comments I disagreed and agreed with, but earlier on I found few of them inflammatory. But as things went on...woof.

@TheJGG Hey, no rush! Believe me, I completely understand. I sometimes delay getting back to you as well, so no problems here.

I would like to share a sad news from my country.

Here we have "sanctuaries" for rescued animals. If you are not familiar with the term "dancing bears", those are bears bred in captivity and forced to dance in public places in the last century.

Now after years couple of, yes you guess it, people walked into the bear sanctuary to gather mushrooms on their own. They met one of those bears and the bear attacked one of them.

The woman is out of danger now.

But they are debating to euthanize the bear!

So they walk into a territory of protected animal, get attacked and now the animal needs to be put down. This is unacceptable for me!

I say we have too many humans ruining the nature and not many bears. The bears should be protected not humans.

Rant off

@Zuljaras I’m not sure the fact the woman was Romani has much bearing on what’s essentially the same scenario as Harambe. She probably shouldn’t be in a protected bear sanctuary, that’s for sure. The bear shouldn’t be euthanised. But resorting to baseless slurs and slights on an entire race of people seems a bit strong.

Plumbing’s just Lego innit. Water Lego.

Trans rights are human rights.

Zuljaras

@nessisonett this does not make it less true. The same kind of people put nose rings on those bears and made them dance for money.

They are still using horses as mens of travel in the damn capitol and abusing them daily.

And I am yet to see one good deed from the people mentioned above.

I am living amongst them, do you?

Sorry, we don’t really allow these kinds of discussions here, and yes, that term is considered against the rules, even if you self censor it yourself, it’s clear what you’re talking about.

I’ve modified your comment to make it more about the bear. Let’s please not participate in that kind of discrimination in the forums from now on.

@Snatcher, the Dragon Ball Super manga is an odd one.

Firstly, It skips over the "Resurrection F" arc (likely to keep pace with the more briskly moving anime, and due to the fact that it got a separate manga tie in back when the film version released, though an incomplete adaptation as they wanted readers to go see the movie to see how it ends).

Secondly, it also skips over the "Broly" arc from the modern movie and goes straight into a manga exclusive arc that takes place after the Super anime.

Despite these things though I generally find it to be a better telling of Super's narrative than the anime is though, particularly it's version of the "Goku Black" arc. The mangaka, a big fan who was working on a fanfiction sequel to GT called Dragon Ball AF before being taken on by Toriyama as his apprentice, seems to have a much better grasp on series continuity than whomever is running the show over at Toei.

Fun fact, if you can track down Dragon Ball AF online, the narrative being set up is pretty similar to what would go on to happen in Super's "Goku Black" arc, with an evil Supreme Kai assaulting Earth with an evil version of Goku.
