  • So glad the second league of nations exists; maybe the third one will take less than two years to say something (not do; let’s not get too overly ambitious here) about an actual, livestreamed genocide, complete with actual video evidence of SV and people protesting in favor of the SVers and turning them into folk heroes. The guy was literally evidence that ‘never meet your heroes’ isn’t a hard and fast rule; the more of a war criminal scum he was, the more it elevated him in the eyes of his fellow citizens.

    The people literally presenting video evidence of their genocide are being told by the prior genocide nation it’s not really a genocide and that actually everything in all that footage is actually okay. One wonders how the prior genocide nation more than just showing its face in public is actually vocally defending the latest genocide. If Naziland has any thoughts on the matter, better to keep them to itself than revive the public opinion that Stalin shouldn’t have stopped at Berlin.
















  • I’ll give you a better one: Patrick Rothfuss

    The guy released name of the wind in 2007 and said all three books of his trilogy are already finished, but then it took four years for the next book to come out in 2011 aaaaaaaaaand…nothing; no third book yet, still working on it, for…what, 14 years with no release date in sight? The fans started out by saying “what, you want him to release a half good book?! I’d rather he take his time and release it as perfectly as possible than rush it!”

    They were saying that for a while, but even now they’ve lost hope. The reddit for the kingkiller chronicles is hilarious; people keep discussing their theories on the book and every now and again doomposting about how they’ll never see the third book. There are people who read the book in high school, then went on to graduate university, get a job, get married and get kids, and are still waiting on the third book.

    At least GRRM released more than just two books (in a trilogy remember) and there was an actual TV show for people to watch while they waited; and at least the TV show ends roughly the same way the books will.

    To be fair the ‘dogs’ in question here are closer to being intelligent beings rather than just living xboxes like actual pets. You’re not supposed to just entertain yourself with it until it dies and then dispose of it for a new one like an actual pet, you’re supposed to treat it like a friend in a world akin to a fantasy setting where people team up to go dungeon delving. You get gold and equipment and the pokemon gets power and a way out of the ‘dog eat dog’ natural world. The pokemon that just get stuffed into pokeballs to never see the light of day except when they’re needed are just indentured servants though.
