Even effects-forward pieces like Jurassic Park still hold up because everyone on the island is a memorable character and the plot is exciting! Though it’s true that the constraints on effects might have caused that - the dinosaurs in that movie only had about 15 minutes of total screen-time, so they had to actually, y’know, write.

This post has a very pleasant and prosocial energy. Thanks for your enthusiasm! I agree, the topiary is great!
Yep. One Pace basically just uses the manga for the storyboards without the extra bloat (though some exclusive anime segments got kept if they added to the experience), and the whole thing ends up being 40% shorter overall - and more importantly, it’s more dynamic and exciting to watch.
They have a website at onepace.net. Their actual site is not working currently, but at least it redirects to their Discord server where you can get the streaming and magnet links you are searching for!
If you do watch the anime version, check out the One Pace project, a fan-edit that removes all of the filler and stalling in the animation - it is the definitive way to watch!
I have a VPN, so this could definitely work.
That’s all, folks!
Given the history of the series, I find this to be pretty endearing. I have fond memories of playing the multi-disc Baldurs Gate 1 on PC as a child. It’s kinda fun to see that today’s gamers will have a similar experience with the same series nearly 30 years later.
The Gameboy Advance startup sound never fails to activate my neurons either.
I can certify that touching grass is a good sensory feeling for me
The f in of is pronounced with a v sound so it’s a little sneaky I guess
Well, then it can run DOOM. I’m sold.
Less-corporate, creator-owned networks like Nebula and Dropout might be a potential route to a more sustainable and less centralized online video ecosystem.
Except that time they unironically drop the f-slur… 🙊 but their hearts are clearly in the right place.
It’s still true that a deflationary economy would be a mess though. If we had deflation, the rich wouldn’t even bother investing and would literally just sit on a pile of gold like Smaug. I know trickle-down doesn’t work but an economy where nothing circulates would be hellish.
Isn’t this just World of Warcraft? It’s practically a co-op ARPG at this point.
In my Call of Cthulhu campaign, a character received a cathartic, romantic love letter from his long-distance sweetheart NPC. And then the PC was killed in one shot by a sniper in the next episode before being able to write back.
It’s a lot. The dice are cruel sometimes in high-lethality systems but it’s made a great tragedy for the other party members- they have to share the bad news when they get back to town, and that’s some juicy horror/drama roleplaying.
I like to listen to the Muckrake podcast for analysis of recent events.
