but that predates the inuyasha cartoon.

2018-10-11 13:45:59 UTC  

but not the manga I think

2018-10-11 13:46:17 UTC  

japan is so strange but cool. but still confusing

2018-10-11 13:50:07 UTC  

A lot of people all over the world wish they were taken to another world, it's a really, really common fantasy. In the West you have stuff like Narnia and Harry Potter that spring to mind.

2018-10-11 13:53:40 UTC  

or never ending story if you are old like me

2018-10-11 13:53:42 UTC  

so it is possible to write good isekai stories that aren't just self-insertion wish-fulfilment, but the trend especially in Japan is definitely leaning towards milktoast protagonist people can relate to and insert as

2018-10-11 13:53:45 UTC  

Why does 30 feel old now?

2018-10-11 13:53:50 UTC  

oh yeah, neverending story too

2018-10-11 13:55:29 UTC  

while I haven't watched Neverending story in probably two decades, I think that's got a pretty bland and uninteresting protagonist as well

2018-10-11 13:55:42 UTC  

the world was interesting,

2018-10-11 13:55:46 UTC  

the main character not so much.

2018-10-11 13:56:09 UTC  

cullkens character in PAGEMASTER had more depth then the kid in neverending story

2018-10-11 13:56:11 UTC  

yeah, Gmork... that swamp of sorrows... the scary sphinxes you had to cross between...

2018-10-11 13:56:31 UTC  

the HORSE

2018-10-11 13:56:36 UTC  

had more pathos then the kid

2018-10-11 13:56:41 UTC  

artox

2018-10-11 13:56:50 UTC  

that was the horses name right?

2018-10-11 13:56:55 UTC  

Uh well.

2018-10-11 13:56:56 UTC  

I would have said Arturax

2018-10-11 13:57:03 UTC  

but as I said, two decades

2018-10-11 13:57:07 UTC  

used to watch it a ton on VHS tho

2018-10-11 13:57:10 UTC  

I never saw it with subtitles so *shrug*

2018-10-11 13:57:42 UTC  

internet says Artax

2018-10-11 13:57:48 UTC  

I just went by what I heard to type it

2018-10-11 13:58:02 UTC  

tox tax whats the diff?

2018-10-11 13:58:09 UTC  

the poor horsie still got nommed by the swamp

2018-10-11 13:58:30 UTC  

almost as bad as that moment in shadow of the colossus

2018-10-11 13:58:56 UTC  

where you have to "yoshi jump" and sacrafice your horse to get to the next stage

2018-10-11 15:11:43 UTC  

>pays for games
>"adblocker is theft"
what a shitty NPC, the writing is so inconsistent

2018-10-11 15:42:40 UTC  

nah, that's consistent. doesn't pirate and thinks adblocker is theft.

2018-10-11 15:53:45 UTC  

I disagree exactly on those 2 too

2018-10-11 15:54:28 UTC  

Adblocker isn't theft, but if you aren't contributing to paying the bills, the sites you use aren't gonna be much success

2018-10-11 15:54:56 UTC  

piracy is usually lefty, so trying to say that lefties "pay for games" is kinda retarded too

2018-10-11 17:28:24 UTC  

ill turn off adblock once illegal bitcoin scripts and spyware get cracked down on

2018-10-11 17:46:55 UTC  

notice that I didn't say using Adblock is bad =p

2018-10-11 17:47:18 UTC  

I use it on every site, if the site complains about adblock, I don't use it

2018-10-11 17:47:36 UTC  

but at some point, you have to support what you want to consume, in some way

2018-10-11 17:48:00 UTC  

on some sites I would rather pay than have them selling my info

2018-10-11 18:02:38 UTC  

is it really wrong to have that opinion communism is good in theory?

2018-10-11 18:04:04 UTC  

communism calls for the violent overthrow of the bourgeoise, so yes?
