    But maybe not. I forget. Maybe I just could no longer suppress the desperate urge to air my views on rules-lawyering postulated encounters between fictional characters who are pitted against one other in purely theoretical mortal combat for the titivation of an imaginary crowd in a made-up arena on a dreamed-up planet.

    Something like that.

    Anyway, Munch, weren’t you banned about every two weeks in the early days of the new regime?

    I also can’t remember whether I was gone for one year or two.
    Well considering the bans were about 2 weeks a hit, that would have been some real record breaking stuff.

    That may be a BIT of an exaggeration. I think I only got like 2-3 bans back then and I spread them out enough that Matt didn't need to get invested enough to permaban me.
    The MunchKING is Back! And he is AWSOME!

    Like I said, it's been awhile, but I remember late manga scouts being able to casually fly to other planets in no time at all and then to the center of either the galaxy or the universe. Anime Galaxia had a super speed fight with the Star Scouts zipping around in space.

    Well space is big, so traveling through it doesn't mean much in terms of reaction speed. Even in an asteroid field the distance between each asteroid is more than 2x longer than the distance between Earth and the moon, for example. Though Death Battle doesn't seem to know about this.

    I was reading something somebody posted about how the constant state of worry was slowing down instead of inspiring creative works and I suddenly remembered the hellscape that Cheeks made in the first "Private Idaho" thread. He genuinely believed that keeping everybody struggling for their subsistence 24/7 would inspire art. Doesn't seem that the evidence backs him up.

    Just a thought I had.

    I'm very much enjoying the current discussion in Order of the Stick.

    It's nice to see Durkon actually employing solid diplomacy and for the villain to be receptive to it. It's quite gratifying to read.

    It is a very nice discussion so far. I like that Durkon is clearly holding back a few sharp words in certain panels and really letting Redcloak say what he has to say.

    I wonder what's going to ruin the whole thing. Easiest bet is Xykon, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone less expected ends up screwing the discussion over.

    I'm honestly hopeful that, even if they are disrupted, Redcloak actually switches sides. Insofar that he stops working for Xykon in the long run.

    That would be the best outcome. Because they need Redcloak to convince the Dark One and they need the Dark One to seal the Snarl. If Redcloak sticks with Xykon none of that is happening.

    I don't think this meeting will end all that well (it's never that easy), but it'll give Redcloak a perspective he didn't have before. And that will hopefully lead to him ditching Xykon.

    Then again, we have no idea what's actually inside the other world along with the Snarl. So there's still lots of ways this'll all turn out.

    Oh dear, I foresee nothing good for the next time, regardless of who wins.
    Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

    Eh, you could call it part of the charm of Tokusatsu (the genre that Kamen Rider/Ultraman/SuperSentai are in). The toy-like gear is designed that way because they are marketing those items as toys for children and the CGI is always a generation or so behind.

    Still, to be fair to Toei, their effects have gotten much better over the years compared to showa or early heisei.

    Sounds about right.
