I’m hitting 50% despite being cis and not a programmer… Is this good or bad?
you’re hired, here’s your programmer socks and new pronouns
how do you get 50% with 3 questions?
Knows hunger but no fear
The last one being Rust
Well if it makes you feel better I hit 100% and am currently trying to learn rust…
Good, you sound cool
“Madoka Magica” might as well be my trigger phase by now.
I don’t get what the big deal is, it seemed like a pretty standard Japanese descent into hell anime to me.
Maybe it’s like Watchmen (the American comic) where you’re supposed to have decades of Magical Girl trope logic that it brutally defies, but at least Watchmen was original. Madoka seemed to hew pretty closely to Neon Genesis Evangelion.
where you’re supposed to have decades of Magical Girl trope logic that it brutally defies
From my experience, it’s the opposite. If you’ve seen lots of magical girl anime, Madoka doesn’t really stand out. If you haven’t seen any magical girl anime before but you assume it’s all shallow and happy, then you will be surprised by Madoka.
The eternal struggle of being a mahou shoujo fan is hearing people talk about how Madoka is such a shocking genre deconstruction and then finding out that they haven’t seen any other mahou shoujo before. It’s obvious that they’re just repeating what they’ve heard other people say.To be fair, Madoka is probably much darker than Pretty Cure or Aikatsu, but it’s only marginally darker / more mature than Cardcaptor Sakura, Princess Tutu, Lyrical Nanoha, or Creamy Mami. And it’s not a bad show, it’s just wildly overrated. Maybe I need to rewatch it
Edit: and for the record, people also exaggerate how dark Princess Tutu is
I don’t know. I had never seen another magical girl anime before, and it still stood out to me.
I think a big part of it is that narrative flip from regular magical girl shows. I didn’t watch magical girl stuff when I got it recommended to me, but I also didn’t get any spoilers, so it still hit well. Similar to One Punch Man if you haven’t seen the decade of shonen, the parodies of them don’t hit.
It’s like a mind virus, once you watch it you start to see it everywhere
Yeah, truly.
It’s a beautiful encapsulation of “what the fuck”.
I’m doing my best to keep those memoires locked away. right in front of From the New World
The Dvorak symphony or the Yusuke Kishi novel?
If the former, how dare you.
If the latter, … sorry I haven’t read it. おすすめですか。ah, I was referring to the trauma of madoka magica, and for some reason I had Stein’s Gate in mind, but that wasn’t mentioned here haha.
Everyone’s commenting on the whole programmer train.
Meanwhile I’m gonna comment on how the words “candidate” and “me” are in fucking parenthesis when there’s LITERALLY no reason for that nonsense.
I like the additional separation it creates, not sure why it’s supposed to be such a huge deal
trying to hire a team of degens seems like a good idea.
What’s fear and hunger?
realy dark videogame. I bought but never played it, didn’t know it had something connected
the post makes a connection between it and trans people because of 2 reasons:
-
Marina in the sequel is a trans girl.
-
A lot of online trans people play both Fear & Hunger games due to being connected to more “experimental” art and, also… well, a lot of us have been through some shit, and F&H can provide the catharsis of having a game represent those emotions you’ve been feeling for years.
