Guys, my back is killing me. I feel like there is one vertebrae like, way over to the right. someonehelpme

 

Take Ibuprofen.

 

I'm dreading The World That Never Was for that very reason ;.;

 

I find the best thing for back pain is to alternate between a heating pad and an ice pack. One is to help with swelling and the other to help for pain. If the pain does not clear up or alleviate[mine seems to come and go depending on work and stress], you might want to see a doctor.

 

I guess I'll play SMTIV in a bit, or Pokemon Y.

I'm still kinda salt Bravely Default takes an extra week to come here though, most of my friends are gonna be playing it. :l

Oh well, I should be thankful I am even getting it, games here are extremely rare to get, and cost quite a bit (In US Dollars, a bit more than double the price than they should)

Also somebody please knock me some sense that I shouldn't do an eventual 4th run of Metal Gear Rising in Revengeance mode... Please. I've never done an action game in hardest difficulty and Very Hard Final Boss was a nightmare (For me at the least).

 

Revengeance difficulty is like two hit death

 

So I'm watching Les Miserables in "Spanish" and I mean that term loosely because they only dub the speaking parts and naturally the whole movie is singing. So they'll be singing English for a while and then suddenly an outburst in Spanish occurs every once in a while which makes it quite hilarious.

 

I listen to peeps talk about how hard KH is, remember how hard KiD, MGR, and NMH2 are... and then I feel p. good about myself.

 

made the mistake of commenting on a video about the most recent Bleach chapter saying that despite how **** everything leading up to this was that this chapter was somewhat entertaining. note: my intention was not to incite conflict, but the responses have been less than approving. here's what one guy said:

I lol'd at his response to me saying Bleach has nothing of real substance going on. I really want to tear this guy up but I have a feeling that people who actually like what Bleach is doing on an intellectual level aren't worth talking to. Yeah, I do think I could do better. I think anyone with rudimentary knowledge of storytelling could.

And I don't want to go all "my word is absolute truth" but... saying that Bleach is all about the shock value seems objectively true to me.

 

I think his argument falls flat the second he gets accusative and says you're a bigot for his accusations. He delivered an insult based on his baseless projection of your line of thinking. Not worth it.

 

I didn't post my original comment, but he's also responding to things I said nothing about. Like the whole pacing thing. My comment had nothing at all to do with that. It's clear he's unnecessarily defensive on the matter and his opinion is tailored to responding to perceived common criticisms of the series.

Yeah. I've separated myself from the fanbase for a while now for this very reason. I thought saying I liked something would be nice. Shudda known better

 

So he's using a script instead of viewing your concerns on an individual level? I love those responses. They're basically- "Here's my power point presentation"

 

More or less
I know rite. And people will antagonistically create opinions to counter people criticizing something, even when those opinions are based in absolutely nothing at all. funny stuff

 

Basically this. I don' t know how to run a nuclear plant and probably never will, but it doesn' t mean I shouldn' t be allowed to call what happened in Fukushima for what it is, a cluster****. Not that I think Bleach is a cluster**** but whatever.

But then Below had to go and say he does think he could do a better job ...

 

are you saying I couldn't?
are you saying anyone couldn't?

 

I' m saying feel free to criticize Kubo' s skills either way.

BTW, what' s with the sudden lack of capitalized characters, did your dog eat your shift key or something ? Just curious.

 

sometimes i like typing without caps.
Sometimes I don't.

 

anyone but a 4kids dub

also

I don't read Bleach but it should not take a year's worth of chapters to dig into individual struggles and still not move things forward at a nice pace. Naruto did that with Tobi and that was, barring a few chapters here and there, so dull. AND THIS ISN'T EVEN GETTING INTO THE MONTH ABOUT KABUTO.

 

Monthly reminder that I think Bleach should have ended at the Arrancar arc, with the end of Aizen.

 

oh god this is about to turn into a Bleach discussion

Ok. Unpopular opinion time. The Fullbring arc is good. And when I say good I mean good as in good for Kubo. It's certainly not something noteworthy outside of Bleach, but when I went back and read it well after it was finished I was pleasantly surprised. Unlike most everything before the arc and everything since the arcs end, it actually attempts to deal with some interesting ideas about the characters here and there. It absolutely falls off of that towards the end, but I still like it. It's probably my favorite arc from Bleach. I hated every chapter of it as it was coming out, but yeah, going back I thought it was fine. It's a good (remember what I said about good) singular story. The problem is that it lies between two major arcs and is more or less inconsequential to everything that has happened since, but removing it from any context, it's not complete garbage.
