  • My dreams exceed my real life

    Czolgosz,
    Working man,
    Born in the middle of Michigan,
    Woke with a thought
    And away he ran
    To the Pan-American Exposition
    In Buffalo,
    In Buffalo.

    Saw of a sudden
    How things were run,
    Said, "Time's a-wasting
    It's nineteen-one.
    Some men have everything
    And some have none,
    So rise and shine-
    In the U.S.A.
    You can work your way
    To the head of the line!

    Czolgosz,
    Quiet man,
    Worked out a quiet
    And simple plan,
    Strolled of a morning
    All spick and span,
    To the Temple Of Music
    By the Tower Of Light
    At the Pan-American Exposition
    In Buffalo,
    In Buffalo.

    Saw Bill McKinley there
    In the sun.
    Heard Bill McKinley say,
    "Folks, have fun!
    Some men have everything
    And some have none,
    But that's just fine:
    in the U.S.A.
    You can work your way
    To the head of the line!" 

    Czolgosz,
    Angry man,
    Said, "I will do what
    A poor man can.
    Yes, and there's nowhere
    More fitting than
    In the Temple Of Music
    By the Tower Of Light
    Between the Fountain Of Abundance
    And the Court of Lilies
    At the great Pan-American Exposition
    In Buffalo,
    In Buffalo.

    Wrapped him a handkerchief
    "round his gun,
    Said, "Nothin' wrong about
    What I done.
    Some men have everything
    And some have none-
    That's by design.
    The idea wasn't mine alone,
    But mine,
    And that's the sign:

    In the U.S.A.
    You can have your say,
    You can set you goals
    And seize the day,
    You've been given the freedom
    To work your way
    To the head of the line-
    To the head of the line!

  • ...And even when your hope is gone
    move along, move along, just to make it through

    Probably not.

  • is Dusty secretly a HOBBIT?

    Everett, chill out, antibiotics aren't what they are now, yet.

    i did feel that Rowling was better at writing children's fantasy than epic fantasy or teen drama

    BUT the later books had many of my favourite scenes and some of the most memorable characters, and on the whole i thought it was very clever and impressive how Rowling had the books mature at around the same rate as the readers (assuming you were reading them as they came out)
  • Yeah as far as maturation goes I think the books nailed it. Even as someone who didn't grow up alongside the series.
  • I'm bored and putting off doing the dishes

    talk to me about things.
  • I am gonna head off and knit and then sleep

    but first I am gonna kiss Dusty's toe beans.
  • It wasn't just among up body counts or anything either, and I think a lot of people would accuse her of that. The heart of it was pulling back the curtains and showing that the world of wizarding is wonderful like Harry first thought but it nonetheless has its own issues that must be dealt with. And this wasn't just done by making it ridiculously corrupt, it was done by demonstrating how thoughtlessly backwards and exceptionalist the magic community is. That's an important theme, and it's pretty impressive that Rowling packaged it in a way that would let children understand it.

    . . . Dusty must be an extremely tolerant cat.

    i don't think i'd dare put my mouth that close to the foot of any cat i've ever known, i'd get my lips scratched
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    tbf the body count in book 7 got pretty high
  • That's superficial. Just because a lot of authors resort to killing off characters cheaply to convey edginess doesn't mean that killing off a lot characters is automatically cheap edginess.

    Kexruct, have you played Nier?
  • Kex I think you're kinda boxing phantoms here, no one's dissing the Harry Potter books.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i didn't say it was cheap edginess

    i don't think all the deaths were handled as well as they could have been, but that's the worst i'd say about them

    they weren't edginess for its own sake
  • Kex I think you're kinda boxing phantoms here, no one's dissing the Harry Potter books.

    I didn't think anyone was. Was more addressing the common misconception.

    Nope, why?

    The PVP in Bloodborne doesn't need to be there, and Dark Souls 2 did it way better.

    These are the harsh truths you get from me, a person on the internet.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    I hate how Red Letter Media just automatically gets a pass from everyone.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i don't like RLM
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Using rape as a punchline is WRONG! Unless it's these people, because they made le epic lulz videos about teh Star Wars prequels.
  • I'd say that Bloodborne's multiplayer failings have largely to do with it's non-existent covenant system.

    Dark Souls 2 did have it's own faults, but the large and varied and intricate covenants is still a step in it's favor. 
  • the "Dark Souls 2 is bad" circlejerk will never stop

    the last words that any human ever speaks will probably about how actually Dark Souls 2 is a bad game because you go up into a volcano whoa how little sense does that make

    fair
  • Dark Souls feels like a weird offspring of Morrowind, of all things. I actually did like Morrowind's elaborate skill system and emphasis on builds, but it felt unsuited to its overall gameplay. Dark Souls takes a lot of the same concepts but implements them better.

    in terms of like, aesthetic, I can see where you're coming from, but they're very different games mechanically.

    Dark Souls has more in common with like, fighting games, than it does most other RPGs, in terms of the combat system.

    Yeah, that is true, I've largely given up on trying to get meaningful dialogue from "fans" of the souls titles.

    Isn't this just the Hitler Metaphor?

    Like, Hitler probably ate sugar once, so eating sugar means agreeing with Hitler.
