  • I’m gonna challenge two parts of your post;

    1. Not participating in something does not make someone anti that thing. I don’t play or watch sports, I’m not anti sports. I don’t participate in or watch operas, I’m not anti opera. Etc. Saying “anti-veganism” implies vegans face the same kind of persecution as minorities do.
    2. It is not the responsibility of the consumer to fix supply chain issues. You can believe there is no way to “ethically” raise livestock for meat and that’s fine, but what happens at “meat factories” and slaughterhouses is not the responsibility of the buyer any more than you are responsible for the child labour that went into the t-shirt you’re wearing.

    Since you were so overly aggressive in your post, I’ll permit myself a tiny snoot of “whataboutism”; do you care the same amount about the clothes you wear? The electronic devices you use? The energy you consume? The non-animal products you consume?

    Every. Single. Thing. you as a modern person buy has supply chain issues somewhere, and taking such an aggressive stance on one thing but not the others would make someone a massive hypocrite.

    What I’m ultimately saying is this; everyone has their own line in the sand for what makes someone a morally good person. Or rather; what supply chain issues are “acceptable”. For you, that line is clearly the consumption of animal products. For others, it’s different. It may be more extreme than you, making you the same horrible monster in their eyes as meat eaters are in your eyes. Are they wrong? What makes your particular line the One True Line?

    Believe me, I understand the fire you feel about this issue because I feel the same way about other issues. I understand that for you, it’s the most obvious and easiest thing in the world to be a vegan. This is not true for everyone, and it does not make them “fucked in the head”.





  • Go to nyaa.si and search for “bleach v2”, it should be 320 GB adjacent in size and contains all eps, but be warned it uses JP BluRay as the source so filler eps (e.g. Bount arc, entire S09) are in DVD quality.

    I’m doing a rewatch before starting TYBW and I replaced the DVD eps with official subs from another source but I’m just skipping them in this rewatch.

    Those subs are as good as the old Dattebayo subs, trust.



  • To be honest I think Final Fantasy might be a bad example. FF16 feeling so weird and being so divisive isn’t because it’s AAA slop, it’s because they always experiment with something in each entry.

    This time, they experimented with doing a dark, gritty and punishing word that had basically no levity in it. Even your home base had nothing but NPCs either being quietly depressed or LOUDLY depressed, emphasis on the loud. There was nowhere to go where you could take an emotional break from the impending end of the world. Every chapter of the story up until the very final cutscene did nothing but make the world more depressing.

    Rebirth proves that they can create a world that feels massive but not empty, that they can create a gritty story without being emotionally oppressive, and that they can create a game that feels like the classics but in the modern age.

    I don’t believe the source material is the only reason they made Rebirth as good as it is. Yes, they knew they couldn’t fuck this one up or else it was the end as a relevant company, but if they had truly lost their soul, they wouldn’t have been able to rise to meet that challenge.

    In other words; I won’t write off new FF games unless FF16 becomes the template rather than an experiment I personally choose not to replay.

    Tbh I don’t mind the Mac look - in fact it’s one of the things that drew me to it as I use macOS for work - and the above complaint is my only real complaint.

    I keep posting it wherever it’s relevant in case someone comes out of the woodwork with a solution 😅
