<2022-03-26T11:35:29.000Z> BrothorCraig: That'll be a stoll softener and a creme for that 😬 
<2022-03-26T11:35:52.000Z> minespatch: sorry man
<2022-03-26T11:36:02.000Z> BrothorCraig: Basically the same regime that some pregnant women need post baby lmao 
<2022-03-26T11:36:13.000Z> BrothorCraig: May wanna delete that one post lmao
<2022-03-26T11:37:43.000Z> BrothorCraig: Dietary changes won't make things easier for long enough to fix the one issue, unless you wanna be like the egg-bodybuilder guy who wanted to kill himself 
<2022-03-26T11:38:26.000Z> minespatch: Right right |D
<2022-03-26T11:38:31.000Z> minespatch: Thanks for the concern
<2022-03-26T11:39:19.000Z> BrothorCraig: Nbd 
<2022-03-27T10:16:13.000Z> BrothorCraig: Think at the very least I'll work on my spicy dissident comics to upload
<2022-03-27T10:16:40.000Z> minespatch: eyyy, nice!
<2022-03-27T10:16:45.000Z> minespatch: Good luck on them.
<2022-03-27T10:17:28.000Z> BrothorCraig: Some of them are going to be pretty inflammatory to normies
<2022-03-27T10:17:57.000Z> BrothorCraig: Such as an idea from one. Which govt department controls Snap and welfare benefits? Lol
<2022-03-27T10:20:58.000Z> minespatch: Hmmmm, I'll see your execution. Good luck. :P
<2022-04-04T08:52:11.000Z> BrothorCraig: Well, definitely think I know of a niche to fill besides my political takes for a comic; think I'll do a run of monstergirl stuff
<2022-04-04T08:52:40.000Z> minespatch: Eyy, nice!
<2022-04-04T08:53:10.000Z> minespatch: My chilian friend got me into Reviewers. Probably wouldn't get into it if it weren't for the main trio and the worldbuilding.
<2022-04-04T08:53:23.000Z> minespatch: I have a fondness for asshole protagonists.
<2022-04-04T08:53:40.000Z> BrothorCraig: I agve it a try before, but just couldn't get into it for the mentioned reasons
<2022-04-04T08:54:24.000Z> minespatch: Not advertising it myself, just saying my reasons. I like your viewpoints. Don't worry.
<2022-04-04T08:55:48.000Z> BrothorCraig: it does have an interesting premise overall, and decent art
<2022-04-04T08:56:19.000Z> minespatch: I like how the cast looks tired. Quite different from the wide eyed "innocent" look from typical art.
<2022-04-04T08:57:09.000Z> BrothorCraig: burned out from whoring themselves out for aliving, yikes
<2022-04-04T08:59:40.000Z> BrothorCraig: Oh! shiny drifloon looks... well, not great but I needed to catch one lmao
<2022-04-04T09:01:11.000Z> BrothorCraig: I guess the only issue for my mg idea is how to present it... Maybe semi-humorous with lots of flashbacks as a guy explains to his kids how him and their mom met? Definitely going to steal narratives though
<2022-04-04T09:01:22.000Z> BrothorCraig: I love the toilet-water tea party story
<2022-04-04T09:02:14.000Z> minespatch: toilet water tea party?
<2022-04-04T09:03:57.000Z> BrothorCraig: A guy has a tea-party with his three year old daughter, she keeps bringing him cups of "tea" (it's water); he's super proud and happy about the moment of bonding. Later he relates this to his wife who only gets confused because the toddler isn't big enough to get water, except from one place...
<2022-04-04T09:05:02.000Z> minespatch: blech damn
<2022-04-04T09:05:16.000Z> minespatch: That'll be interesting...
<2022-04-04T09:05:37.000Z> BrothorCraig: its one of my favorite stories
<2022-04-04T09:18:10.000Z> BrothorCraig: the only problem is, what kind of monstergirl
<2022-04-04T09:18:37.000Z> minespatch: Perhaps a gnoll or some kind of anubis girl? PEe and dogs go hand in hand :P
<2022-04-04T09:18:43.000Z> minespatch: Er-
<2022-04-04T09:18:48.000Z> minespatch: Maybe bad phrasing
<2022-04-04T09:19:34.000Z> BrothorCraig: it's not so much about the toilet water, I just want to make decent humourous but also wholesome things lol
<2022-04-04T09:19:49.000Z> BrothorCraig: Maybe I could oneshots with just different situations 
<2022-04-04T09:21:14.000Z> minespatch: Maybe you should go with a monster girl species generator and go from there?
<2022-04-04T09:24:40.000Z> BrothorCraig: I think one-shots with specific stories or ideas might work best. that way I'm unlikely to get bored and can just change things to fit whatever would feel comfiest or funny
<2022-04-04T09:25:47.000Z> minespatch: Sure, the one shots could lead to something bigger depending on the popularity of one tale or the other. Treat them like pitches
<2022-04-04T09:26:11.000Z> BrothorCraig: yeah, might be best
<2022-04-04T10:24:34.000Z> BrothorCraig: MGE is basically what happens when a guy just wants monstergirls and romance in a hentai setting lmao
<2022-04-04T10:25:16.000Z> BrothorCraig: ]Monstergirl encyclopedia, if you search it you may need to parse through a bunch of weird headcanon stuff from weirdos though....
<2022-04-04T10:26:06.000Z> minespatch: Whoops, forgot that's what MGE stood for. 
<2022-04-04T10:26:28.000Z> minespatch: I'm used to the term monstergirls and aware of it, just forgot the "encyclopedia" part |D;;;
<2022-04-04T10:26:29.000Z> BrothorCraig: lmao
<2022-04-04T10:26:45.000Z> BrothorCraig: you're a fan too? 
<2022-04-04T10:27:04.000Z> minespatch: Yeah, I know wahat is is. I'm familiar with the naga and spider but no, just by osmosis. |D;;;
<2022-04-04T10:27:31.000Z> BrothorCraig: ah
<2022-04-04T10:27:44.000Z> BrothorCraig: I'll try to keep some of my stuff on tone for it then
<2022-04-04T10:28:02.000Z> BrothorCraig: Monster musume is a good adjacent manga to read for a decent concept of it
<2022-04-04T10:28:30.000Z> minespatch: IT's all good. I'm kind of glad that stranger told me about the judaism bent of Reviewers, makes me rubberneck at the themes I've seen sprinkled through the series.
<2022-04-04T10:28:40.000Z> BrothorCraig: though the writer definitely fails to keep his unrestrained yuri and harem fetish out of it all
<2022-04-04T10:28:44.000Z> minespatch: The fallen angels, the corruption of a church state...
<2022-04-04T10:29:08.000Z> minespatch: Y e a h, I think I need to double take on certain things I used to like. 6u9
<2022-04-04T10:29:25.000Z> BrothorCraig: its not a big deal, 
<2022-04-04T10:29:25.000Z> minespatch: AH!
<2022-04-04T10:29:27.000Z> minespatch: Masume!
<2022-04-04T10:29:34.000Z> BrothorCraig: it sucks that everything is corrupted though
<2022-04-04T10:29:34.000Z> minespatch: I'm familiar with that term!
<2022-04-04T10:30:09.000Z> minespatch: Once you get juden-pilled, you start overanalyzing while having to hide your powerlevel :Ttredcat:
<2022-04-04T10:30:14.000Z> minespatch: * :tiredcat:
<2022-04-04T10:30:38.000Z> BrothorCraig: it definitely sucks, but you find yourself seeking out far more wholesome stuyff
<2022-04-04T10:31:35.000Z> minespatch: at the moment I'm looking for more Fromsoft and metroidvania stuff. I like the feeling of pain in a flaggelent sense. To pay for my sins and repent.
<2022-04-04T10:32:46.000Z> BrothorCraig: literally part of the reason I've gotten wrapped up in Jojo
<2022-04-04T10:33:28.000Z> minespatch: eyyyy
<2022-04-04T10:33:46.000Z> BrothorCraig: ive been getting the hardbacks, I'm in love with them
<2022-04-04T10:33:50.000Z> minespatch: Yeah, Jojo's a bit more wacky in that aspect. I grew up with Dragon Quest and Hellsing.
<2022-04-04T10:34:18.000Z> BrothorCraig: read hellsing, kind of got burned out because it was hard to get ahold of and the anime was all over the place
<2022-04-04T10:34:25.000Z> BrothorCraig: dragon quest had a manga?
<2022-04-04T10:34:30.000Z> BrothorCraig: Akira?
<2022-04-04T10:34:36.000Z> minespatch: The game. Dragon quest 8 and 9
<2022-04-04T10:35:02.000Z> minespatch: 8's superior. HAving sidekicks you can interact with instead of custom makes it a meaningful experience.
<2022-04-04T10:35:17.000Z> minespatch: Watched the film Akira twice. Well animated, same with Otomo's Memories.
<2022-04-04T10:35:31.000Z> BrothorCraig: ah. Dragon quest is pretty great as a game, currently playing through 9 and the the release of 1,2,3
<2022-04-04T10:35:41.000Z> BrothorCraig: you should read the manga
<2022-04-04T10:35:48.000Z> BrothorCraig: and then about how the manga was made
<2022-04-04T10:35:52.000Z> BrothorCraig: dude was a madman
<2022-04-04T10:36:00.000Z> minespatch: Maybe later. Currently reading Lord of the rings Fellowship.
<2022-04-04T10:36:13.000Z> minespatch: I plan on getting infinite jest later, same with House of LEaves.
<2022-04-04T10:36:41.000Z> minespatch: Probably will get a new copy of PJ O' Rourke's "All the troubles in the world" to replace my father's lost copy.
<2022-04-04T10:36:59.000Z> BrothorCraig: "Why don't you just use a comptuer to fill in the explosion?" "Because I'm drawing the deaths of millions of people, it'd be disrespectful to do this anyway other than by hand..."
<2022-04-04T10:37:11.000Z> BrothorCraig: is it any good?
<2022-04-04T10:37:46.000Z> minespatch: Yeah, O' Rourke basically called out the establishment with his observations. IT's what got my father in the more Conservative leaning.
<2022-04-04T10:38:16.000Z> BrothorCraig: nice, I'll have to see about snagging a digital copy if I can find one
<2022-04-04T10:39:04.000Z> minespatch: Meanwhile I'm getting infinite Jest next since I've heard a ton of great things about that book.
<2022-04-04T10:39:12.000Z> minespatch: I'll eventually get Elden Ring |D;;;
<2022-04-04T10:41:01.000Z> BrothorCraig: Alien nation is semi-pozz 90s race relations propaganda, but the premise is pretty kino though
<2022-04-04T10:41:20.000Z> BrothorCraig: >.< message didn't send, hold on
<2022-04-04T10:41:27.000Z> BrothorCraig: Recently got Red dwarf series and am slowly working on Babylon 5 and Alien nation
<2022-04-04T10:42:12.000Z> minespatch: Yeah, Red dwarf is pretty good. I got a kick how a recent episode that poked at the idea of a civilization that banned criticism made reviewers feel attacked.
<2022-04-04T10:42:37.000Z> BrothorCraig: well there was apparently a book series first, so I'm pretty stoked to read it
<2022-04-04T10:43:10.000Z> minespatch: Oh yeah, one of the books is about the character Cat.
<2022-04-04T10:43:58.000Z> BrothorCraig: alien nation was basically aliens crashed in the US and then had to assimilate, basis is basically a buddy cop series with a super based Detective and his Alien newbie buddy
<2022-04-04T10:44:35.000Z> minespatch: I'm familiar with it, just haven't watched.
<2022-04-04T10:45:20.000Z> BrothorCraig: as a scifi show it's fantastic, and the fact that it's effectively banned in current year redeems it despite it being propaganda
<2022-04-04T10:46:23.000Z> minespatch: Seems typical for 80s stories. :sweatin:
<2022-04-04T10:46:31.000Z> BrothorCraig: oh, did snag some of the reprints of Star Trek comics
<2022-04-04T10:47:05.000Z> BrothorCraig: I think it's banned because they go over the expectation that the "Aliens" MUST assimilate and that it's not a one way street
<2022-04-04T10:47:12.000Z> minespatch: My father is on his epic quest to find any backissues of Vampirella.
<2022-04-04T10:47:22.000Z> BrothorCraig: that and that racism is often actually justified
<2022-04-04T10:47:25.000Z> minespatch: Banned? :eyes:
<2022-04-04T10:47:49.000Z> BrothorCraig: After the last tv-movie for it, it's basically not aired at all
<2022-04-04T10:48:02.000Z> minespatch: Ooof :woozy:
<2022-04-04T10:48:13.000Z> minespatch: I'll talk to you later, need sleep
<2022-04-04T10:48:18.000Z> BrothorCraig: later
<2022-04-19T05:27:00.000Z> BrothorCraig: Gonna be uploading a bunch of my older art and random sketches sometime tomorrow as well as having to start a new channel on odysee lmao
<2022-04-19T05:29:16.000Z> minespatch: noice!
<2022-04-19T05:29:18.000Z> minespatch: Good luck then
<2022-04-19T05:32:44.000Z> BrothorCraig: Lol
<2022-04-19T05:32:51.000Z> BrothorCraig: Yeah
<2022-04-19T05:41:46.000Z> BrothorCraig: Should be interesting
<2022-04-19T05:42:03.000Z> BrothorCraig: Gonna try and break my block and work on monster idea
<2022-04-19T05:43:04.000Z> minespatch: I can't tell until I see, all I can do is give well wishes.
<2022-04-19T05:43:21.000Z> BrothorCraig: 👍
<2022-04-20T21:59:34.000Z> BrothorCraig: Found my sketchbook 😤 gonna start dumping stuff
<2022-04-20T21:59:51.000Z> minespatch: Right now?
<2022-04-20T22:14:51.000Z> BrothorCraig: freespeechextremist.com/objects/389ecfdb-bbaa-4716-bbbf-5c9c92bc014f
<2022-04-20T22:20:00.000Z> BrothorCraig: Might try to use my PC for this in the future : P
<2022-04-20T22:20:35.000Z> BrothorCraig: Finally through my block too, gonna be posting stuff way more 
<2022-04-20T22:20:54.000Z> minespatch: I love how the search function can let me not leave poast so I can share your poasts on my personal and not my art account.
<2022-04-20T22:42:33.000Z> BrothorCraig: Lol
<2022-04-20T22:43:16.000Z> BrothorCraig: Akira toriyama mostly and then morphed my own direction from that, love the usual black and white asthetic of manga in general; specially when it has hard shadows
<2022-04-20T22:43:33.000Z> BrothorCraig: And now fse won't let me phone post lmao 
<2022-04-20T22:43:41.000Z> BrothorCraig: Gonna have to use PC in the future 
<2022-04-20T22:44:42.000Z> minespatch: I was highly inspired by Toriayama's earlier work with Dr Slump and Kowa.
<2022-04-20T22:44:50.000Z> minespatch: That gag manga short people aesthetic.
<2022-04-20T22:45:06.000Z> minespatch: Might help that Yangus was my main guy in Dragon Quest before I read Dr Slump.
<2022-04-20T22:46:31.000Z> BrothorCraig: Lmao, mostly learned how to draw from practically photocopying dbz still from sight 
<2022-04-20T22:48:20.000Z> minespatch: Bakuman was a big influence on me. I liked Death Note, but the commentary in Bakuman made me want to experiment different art styles. I liked how fluid the poses in Soul Eater was.
<2022-04-20T22:50:01.000Z> BrothorCraig: I'll have to check those out,
<2022-04-20T22:50:33.000Z> BrothorCraig: The biggest issue I have is making sure to be okay with cartoony stuff : P
<2022-04-20T22:50:50.000Z> minespatch: Soul Eater is basically manga Jamie Hewlett.
<2022-04-20T22:52:30.000Z> BrothorCraig: Oh
<2022-04-20T22:58:04.000Z> BrothorCraig: freespeechextremist.com/notice/AIefg1R87xYc1UGjdQ
<2022-04-20T22:58:12.000Z> BrothorCraig: Finally got it to upload
<2022-04-20T22:58:36.000Z> BrothorCraig: An idea I had because of the deluge of constant superman but bad concepts people though out constantly
<2022-04-20T23:16:31.000Z> BrothorCraig: Imo superman's biggest enemies should be internal rather then external antagonists
<2022-04-20T23:22:00.000Z> minespatch: So a psychological story?
<2022-04-20T23:23:55.000Z> BrothorCraig: Somewhat, basically Superman essentially saying fuck it I'm done after realizing that he's effectively the only person who actually cares about being good
<2022-04-20T23:28:45.000Z> BrothorCraig: After his parents have died, louis being garbage, and the constant weight of the world and criticism; why not quit? Lol
<2022-04-20T23:29:34.000Z> BrothorCraig: Everyone wants evil Superman, I just want one that addresses the fact that people expect the world from men without knowing how heavy the world actually is
<2022-04-20T23:32:23.000Z> minespatch: Sounds a bit like Berserk in the modern era.
<2022-04-20T23:32:39.000Z> minespatch: A good man trying to cope with the circumstances with his situation
<2022-04-21T01:58:35.000Z> BrothorCraig: Sort of, but instead his enemies are social and effectively representative of how society is a failure as a whole
<2022-04-21T02:03:18.000Z> BrothorCraig: Beserk but instead of literal avatars of evil it's a HR sloot in trendy flats lmao
<2022-04-22T22:06:38.000Z> BrothorCraig: Best bet would be to try and snag a decent job, and retinker how you're trying to sell and promote your art
<2022-04-22T22:08:22.000Z> minespatch: Not sure right now. Feeling kind of trapped in terms of skills.
<2022-04-22T22:08:47.000Z> BrothorCraig: You can learn skills, it's not a big deal
<2022-04-22T22:09:38.000Z> BrothorCraig: Start with something somewhat simple, even if you're just stocking shelves at night lol
<2022-04-22T22:09:57.000Z> minespatch: If I'm not reported for "stealing socks" like last time at Dollar Tree. 
<2022-04-22T22:11:14.000Z> BrothorCraig: Coworker drama?
<2022-04-22T22:12:18.000Z> minespatch: A customer got me fired by accusing me of stealing socks on the job. Kind of soured my experience. This was supposed to be a program to help disabled people into work.
<2022-04-22T22:12:45.000Z> minespatch: After the janitorial job, the government facility gave up on me. Figuring I wasn't worth the program.
<2022-04-22T22:15:46.000Z> BrothorCraig: Ah
<2022-04-22T22:16:46.000Z> BrothorCraig: Service jobs do kind of suck and that'll always be an issue
<2022-04-22T22:16:54.000Z> BrothorCraig: You just have to keep trying
<2022-04-22T22:17:13.000Z> BrothorCraig: You can make it, you just have to not give up
<2022-04-22T22:17:25.000Z> minespatch: I hear ya. Just got to figure.
<2022-04-22T22:17:32.000Z> BrothorCraig: Same with art or anything really
<2022-04-22T22:20:40.000Z> BrothorCraig: For service types jobs though, when dealing with weirdos your best bet is to call their bluff because companies usually get lazy and ridiculous, not bothering to do due diligence
<2022-04-22T22:21:30.000Z> minespatch: My father wants me to do pizza delivery but I need to do the driver's test first.
<2022-04-22T22:22:50.000Z> BrothorCraig: That could work, 
<2022-04-22T22:26:35.000Z> BrothorCraig: Driving anxiety?
<2022-04-22T22:27:08.000Z> minespatch: Nah, just have poor memory. never passed the test.
<2022-04-22T22:27:48.000Z> BrothorCraig: Do your best, study. I know you can do it
<2022-04-22T22:28:15.000Z> minespatch: I have the book, I just need to keep reading until it gets stuck in my mind.
<2022-04-22T22:28:31.000Z> BrothorCraig: 👍
<2022-04-22T22:28:43.000Z> BrothorCraig: You can do it, don't give up
<2022-04-22T22:55:20.000Z> BrothorCraig: You just have to be willing to try
<2022-04-22T23:18:34.000Z> BrothorCraig: I know it isn't easy, felt the same way when I walked off my last job, maybe worst honestly
<2022-04-22T23:20:06.000Z> minespatch: I'm not sure but I'll see what I can do
<2022-04-22T23:21:47.000Z> BrothorCraig: The biggest thing is to just not give up
<2022-04-22T23:22:07.000Z> BrothorCraig: Literally the only good advice you'll likely get from that thread
<2022-04-22T23:22:14.000Z> minespatch: I'm alive aren't I? :P
<2022-04-22T23:22:31.000Z> BrothorCraig: It's a start lol
<2022-04-22T23:24:04.000Z> BrothorCraig: I'll pray for you, you should too. Don't let it get to you and trust in God while you work through this. I know you'll make it
<2022-04-22T23:25:18.000Z> minespatch: Thanks for the well wishes. Hopefully something happens.
<2022-04-23T15:15:28.000Z> BrothorCraig: I know you can make it 👍 just don't give up
<2022-04-26T13:36:51.000Z> BrothorCraig: You didn't have to apologize 😩 I was just surprised that they were just pickles is all
<2022-04-26T13:37:32.000Z> minespatch: I have apology tourettes. Its a habit I need to break.
<2022-04-26T13:38:17.000Z> BrothorCraig: Are you Canadian? Lmao
<2022-04-26T13:38:53.000Z> minespatch: Born Californian
<2022-04-26T13:39:19.000Z> minespatch: I bumped into one boy in a mental institution and that's where the problem happened.
<2022-04-26T13:39:38.000Z> minespatch: It's like my need to be polite mechanism broke.
<2022-04-26T13:41:57.000Z> BrothorCraig: Ah, it's okay. 😩 Was just kind of worried that I'm coming off hyper critical or something 
<2022-04-26T13:42:07.000Z> minespatch: nope
<2022-04-26T13:42:18.000Z> minespatch: Just my idiosyncrasy. 
<2022-04-26T13:43:00.000Z> BrothorCraig: Weird though, I knew several Californians in the mil; none ever used that term and we occasionally snacked on pickles like that
<2022-04-26T13:43:26.000Z> minespatch: Apparently searching on brave, no one has.
<2022-04-26T13:43:33.000Z> minespatch: My mind is getting mixed up.
<2022-04-26T13:44:48.000Z> BrothorCraig: Well I'm stealing the term and going to make what I imagined and see how it works
<2022-04-26T13:44:52.000Z> minespatch: hyuhyu
<2022-04-26T20:32:18.000Z> BrothorCraig: I'll let you know if it's any good lol
<2022-04-26T20:34:20.000Z> minespatch: sure thing
<2022-05-17T01:12:42.000Z> BrothorCraig: Uh... That's not what that slang means lmao 🤣
<2022-05-17T01:12:54.000Z> BrothorCraig: Don't look it up
<2022-05-17T01:14:49.000Z> minespatch: Wait, we're not referencing "truck-kun"? :P
<2022-05-17T01:14:56.000Z> minespatch: Or is this the sexual train
<2022-05-17T01:15:26.000Z> BrothorCraig: N-no
<2022-05-17T01:16:17.000Z> BrothorCraig: It's slang, usually reserved for... Well in anons case itd be a line of various monstergirls waiting to take a turn. Lined up like the boxcars of a train...
<2022-05-17T01:16:44.000Z> minespatch: gotcha
<2022-05-17T01:16:59.000Z> BrothorCraig: 😬 I feel terrible for corrupting you like this 
<2022-05-17T01:21:13.000Z> minespatch: I've already been corrupted, no fear :LUL:
<2022-05-17T01:21:36.000Z> minespatch: I'm penancing from that corruption but oh well.
<2022-05-17T01:24:20.000Z> BrothorCraig: Oh well
<2022-05-17T01:24:53.000Z> BrothorCraig: Anons gotta be careful though, this'll likely end in some kind of Animu harem if he isn't careful
<2022-05-17T01:28:18.000Z> minespatch: Typical :LUL
<2022-05-17T01:29:38.000Z> BrothorCraig: Maybe, could still go for a happy ending with solely the bear waifu
<2022-05-17T01:30:08.000Z> BrothorCraig: Or maybe one of the other girls, though that seems unfair since Rose went out of her way to track down and get ahold of Anon first...
<2022-05-17T01:31:40.000Z> BrothorCraig: I think Luxia is going to try and pull some shit though... 
<2022-05-17T01:36:21.000Z> BrothorCraig: "I gave you a loan Anon, you have to date me!"
<2022-05-17T01:37:10.000Z> minespatch: How shifty :smug10:
<2022-05-17T01:37:57.000Z> BrothorCraig: How familiar with MGE are you?
<2022-05-17T01:38:07.000Z> minespatch: Not really :Sweat:
<2022-05-17T01:38:35.000Z> minespatch: I've only seen the art.
<2022-05-17T01:40:58.000Z> BrothorCraig: It's okay
<2022-05-17T01:43:05.000Z> BrothorCraig: It's essentially a hentai fantasy setting 😤 but most of the fan groups tend to channel out the ultimate male fantasy and apply it; so it ends up being weirdly obsessed with happy marriages, having an army of kids, and gentle/forceful housewives who support their husbands.
<2022-05-17T01:45:17.000Z> BrothorCraig: It does have a lot of good art
<2022-05-17T01:45:20.000Z> BrothorCraig: I kind of hope Rose wins out, she seems like a good girl
<2022-05-17T01:45:37.000Z> minespatch: Yeah, Realist hero seems to discuss about the harem concept in a legal way to explain the happiness of couples and to expand bloodlines.
<2022-05-17T01:46:53.000Z> BrothorCraig: There is that. Usually in most mge groups it's based around a gender disparity caused by interbreeding through psuedo-succubi who tend to lean towards being more likely to have daughters
<2022-05-17T01:47:07.000Z> BrothorCraig: Or just whatever the writer wants lmao
<2022-05-17T01:47:54.000Z> BrothorCraig: Spurgs one bicorn story basically seems like a just general justification for a not to appropriate fantasy lol
<2022-05-17T01:51:21.000Z> BrothorCraig: Alot of the monsters and why the creator made them the way they are is interesting
<2022-05-17T01:51:38.000Z> minespatch: Sounds like he did his job. :shrug:
<2022-05-17T01:51:46.000Z> BrothorCraig: Like kobolds for instance, what comes to mind when you hear kobold?
<2022-05-17T01:52:00.000Z> minespatch: I think of Tom Waits and the song Underground
<2022-05-17T01:53:37.000Z> BrothorCraig: Labyrinth?
<2022-05-17T01:53:43.000Z> BrothorCraig: I mean visually lol
<2022-05-17T01:54:02.000Z> minespatch: Small people who are spin off of dwarves but look like elves/hobbits?
<2022-05-17T01:54:06.000Z> minespatch: Underground people?
<2022-05-17T01:54:18.000Z> minespatch: There's also a kobold in Count Lucanor.
<2022-05-17T01:54:26.000Z> minespatch: Kind of looks like a redcap creature.
<2022-05-17T01:54:28.000Z> BrothorCraig: Ooo. That's a good song.
<2022-05-17T01:57:06.000Z> BrothorCraig: Old school euro myths describe them as furry house creatures so naturally... Doggos
<2022-05-17T01:57:20.000Z> BrothorCraig attached file https://i.poastcdn.org/ab1163562fc466d23dcece8ecd54c0761430301a396f0cff89d6ab22df0105ca.jpg
<2022-05-17T01:57:41.000Z> BrothorCraig: Count lucanor?
<2022-05-17T01:58:22.000Z> BrothorCraig: Is count lucanor good?
<2022-05-17T01:58:49.000Z> minespatch: Yeah, it's a great introduction to the mechanics of Yuppie Psycho. It's shorter than Yuppie Psycho.
<2022-05-17T01:59:09.000Z> BrothorCraig: Yuppie psycho? What? Lmao
<2022-05-17T01:59:24.000Z> minespatch: Horror game with occult and 80s business culture.
<2022-05-17T02:00:12.000Z> minespatch: It takes place in a dystopian future and a poor man gets invited into the company Sintracorp. He's hired to kill a witch.
<2022-05-17T02:00:40.000Z> BrothorCraig: Interesting. I'll check it out
<2022-05-17T02:02:19.000Z> minespatch: Yeah, I like both of Baroque Decay's games. Looking forward to the next game they're working on... Whenever that's coming out
<2022-05-17T02:02:22.000Z> BrothorCraig: Super weird title though...
<2022-05-17T02:03:26.000Z> minespatch: Yeah, it's a reference to American Psycho.
<2022-05-17T02:04:33.000Z> BrothorCraig: At this point I'm mostly only waiting on the next Pokemon game 😭
<2022-05-17T02:05:48.000Z> BrothorCraig: Still need to read the book...
<2022-05-17T02:05:48.000Z> minespatch: Playing Dark Souls is fun for me. Looking forward to getting a ps3 in the future to play Demon's souls next. Especially the older copy(not the remake).
<2022-05-17T02:11:10.000Z> BrothorCraig: Could never really get into it
<2022-05-17T02:11:48.000Z> minespatch: I'm autistic and the lore is intriguing. I'm a big fan of dragon quest 8, so a natural progression for me.
<2022-05-17T02:12:15.000Z> BrothorCraig: I couldn't get into it because the difficulty curve is borked
<2022-05-17T02:12:23.000Z> BrothorCraig: 🤣
<2022-05-17T02:12:45.000Z> BrothorCraig: Not that it's too hard, it's just not fair or built properly imo 
<2022-05-17T02:13:40.000Z> BrothorCraig: I'm a bit of a loser, so of course I like pokemon lmao
<2022-05-17T02:14:29.000Z> minespatch: I've played Pokemon, Firered, black, platinum...
<2022-05-17T02:15:11.000Z> BrothorCraig: I've played almost every single one of them, only recently got into black/white and their sequels. 
<2022-05-17T02:15:24.000Z> BrothorCraig: Even the spin offs
<2022-05-17T02:15:56.000Z> minespatch: Yeah, I played Trozei, mystery dungeon, Rangers
<2022-05-17T02:16:12.000Z> minespatch: Mystery Dungeon was nice. Liked the story.
<2022-05-17T02:16:16.000Z> BrothorCraig: The recent games,  sword and shield and Arcues are amazing imo; though they abound with animation issues 
<2022-05-17T02:16:22.000Z> minespatch: I named my pikachu Tom Waits.
<2022-05-17T02:16:26.000Z> BrothorCraig: I loved being able to be a pokemon
<2022-05-17T02:16:47.000Z> minespatch: Somehow I got mudkip for my character
<2022-05-17T02:16:53.000Z> BrothorCraig: Cubone lol
<2022-05-17T02:18:59.000Z> BrothorCraig: Arceus though, I hope they make more spin offs based on that system. It feels like what an adventure based Pokemon game should. 
<2022-05-17T02:19:10.000Z> BrothorCraig: Plus the adjusted shiny rates... So much better
<2022-05-17T02:23:08.000Z> BrothorCraig: Plus, Cyndaquil as a starter. My favorite pokemon 
<2022-05-17T02:23:45.000Z> BrothorCraig: I'm thinking if they do make a new game using the same build it'll likely be based on Johto
<2022-05-17T02:24:15.000Z> minespatch: They tend to return to locations. I'd like to see them do more historical au games like they did with that one Sengoku era game.
<2022-05-17T02:25:48.000Z> BrothorCraig: Maybe, lmao 
<2022-05-17T02:25:55.000Z> BrothorCraig: Pokemon revolution
<2022-05-17T02:26:41.000Z> BrothorCraig: Ulysses S. Grant adventuring across psuedo US with a pikachu
<2022-05-17T02:27:45.000Z> minespatch: That sounds like fun
<2022-05-17T02:32:01.000Z> BrothorCraig: Lmao
<2022-05-17T02:36:00.000Z> BrothorCraig: Maybe. I think the reason it wouldn't happen though is because most countries have pretty serious issues with their history sometimes...
<2022-05-17T02:36:26.000Z> BrothorCraig: American historical pokemon game would immediately be slammed for racism lmao
<2022-05-17T02:36:28.000Z> minespatch: Black and white was about America
<2022-05-17T02:36:56.000Z> minespatch: Well... Alternate universe america
<2022-05-17T02:38:26.000Z> BrothorCraig: Vaguely, New York allegedly
<2022-05-17T02:38:57.000Z> BrothorCraig: Personally I don't see it 
<2022-05-17T02:41:35.000Z> BrothorCraig: Honestly they need a Texas region 
<2022-05-17T02:42:25.000Z> minespatch: That'd be a ton of fun, makes me think of the anime and the "Banned" episode.
<2022-05-17T02:44:07.000Z> BrothorCraig: Yup lol
<2022-05-17T02:45:15.000Z> BrothorCraig: It could work really well though. Texas has every biome type, a wide array of biodiversity, and a huge background culturally. 
<2022-05-17T02:53:29.000Z> BrothorCraig: Plus, regional variants!
<2022-05-17T02:53:37.000Z> BrothorCraig: It would awesome
<2022-05-17T02:54:02.000Z> BrothorCraig: Have you tried any of the romhacks?
<2022-05-17T02:57:04.000Z> minespatch: Nope, sorry
<2022-05-17T03:02:29.000Z> BrothorCraig: Ah
<2022-05-17T03:02:36.000Z> BrothorCraig: Some of them are pretty amazing
<2022-05-17T03:02:59.000Z> BrothorCraig: Difficulty cranked to the max, redone maps, the ability to fully capture every pokemon...
<2022-05-17T03:07:28.000Z> BrothorCraig: ThunderYellow, pyrite, tons of kaizos...
<2022-05-17T03:11:09.000Z> BrothorCraig: Crystal clear is amazing though
<2022-05-17T03:11:20.000Z> BrothorCraig: It's an open world version of Pokemon crustal
<2022-05-17T03:11:43.000Z> BrothorCraig: Do the gyms in any order, catch whatever you want when you want
<2022-05-17T03:16:31.000Z> minespatch: Gamefreak can't be as ambitious as the fandom :LUL:
<2022-05-17T03:43:09.000Z> BrothorCraig: Seems like yeag
<2022-05-17T03:43:19.000Z> BrothorCraig: They have to market for children in mind
<2022-05-17T03:43:37.000Z> BrothorCraig: Which makes the sometimes hard versions of Pokemon hilarious
<2022-05-17T03:43:46.000Z> BrothorCraig: USUM was like that
<2022-05-17T03:48:27.000Z> minespatch: Arcaeus seems to be a good direction though both mechanically and worldbuilding
<2022-05-17T03:54:11.000Z> BrothorCraig: Yup, the feel of it is just fantastic
<2022-05-17T03:54:33.000Z> BrothorCraig: The grind for that game is a huge upgrade from normal
<2022-05-17T03:56:46.000Z> BrothorCraig: The glitches though lmao
<2022-05-17T03:58:31.000Z> minespatch: Ooof, typical :LUL
<2022-05-17T03:59:56.000Z> BrothorCraig: Literally watching a rare Pokemon spawn in only to float up into the sky and disappear
<2022-05-17T04:00:11.000Z> minespatch: Sorry man
<2022-05-17T04:00:28.000Z> BrothorCraig: They've since patched it but still lmao
<2022-05-17T04:00:45.000Z> BrothorCraig: "oh wow! An Eevee!"
<2022-05-17T04:00:54.000Z> BrothorCraig: *screaming in rage*
<2022-05-17T04:12:19.000Z> BrothorCraig: Lmao, I'll stop bothering you then 👍
<2022-05-17T04:13:52.000Z> minespatch: It's not just you :LUL:
<2022-05-17T04:14:07.000Z> minespatch: I have friends who send me different topics and they tend to blur on me.
<2022-05-17T04:14:23.000Z> minespatch: It gets a bit numbing when it happens |D;;;
<2022-05-17T04:15:14.000Z> BrothorCraig: I know, but still part of the problem lol I'll check out for now so you can focus , hmu whenever you want 
<2022-05-17T04:16:35.000Z> minespatch: It's alright
<2022-05-17T04:18:28.000Z> BrothorCraig: I know, I'm not upset at all lol
<2022-05-17T04:18:36.000Z> BrothorCraig: Or do you mean to just keep messaging?
<2022-05-17T04:19:57.000Z> minespatch: I'm not upset either :P
<2022-05-17T04:21:27.000Z> BrothorCraig: If you're sure I'm not distracting or annoying
<2022-05-17T04:28:06.000Z> BrothorCraig: Well, what do you think about the possibility of Arceus dlc?
<2022-05-17T04:34:09.000Z> minespatch: No clue, haven't played. All I know is that it's a isekai with time travel.
<2022-05-17T04:34:39.000Z> BrothorCraig: 😭
<2022-05-17T05:21:31.000Z> BrothorCraig: That sucks
<2022-05-17T05:22:00.000Z> minespatch: Well, I'm having fun with Dark Souls. I don't mind.
<2022-05-17T05:22:26.000Z> BrothorCraig: That's always good, to have a game to just go to when bored
<2022-05-17T05:22:37.000Z> BrothorCraig: I tend to do that with nms or civ4
<2022-05-17T05:23:31.000Z> minespatch: It's not because I'm bored, I'm excited to meet a character I've been waiting to meet, it's why my laptop bricked last month 6u9
<2022-05-17T05:24:04.000Z> minespatch: youtube.com/watch?v=pA4012rz0H8
<2022-05-17T05:24:51.000Z> BrothorCraig: Huh
<2022-05-17T05:24:58.000Z> BrothorCraig: Interesting
<2022-05-17T05:25:26.000Z> minespatch: Yeah, he's a reoccuring character in all of them. I can't wait to meet him. 
<2022-05-17T05:33:51.000Z> BrothorCraig: Good luck then, the way they're talking makes me think boss battle
<2022-05-17T05:35:30.000Z> minespatch: :rofl:
<2022-05-17T05:36:00.000Z> minespatch: Nah, he's a comic relief character that kicks you down holes and then begs for forgiveness. He's fun.
<2022-05-17T05:36:28.000Z> BrothorCraig: Weird
<2022-06-21T09:14:04.000Z> BrothorCraig: Grievous would be pretty cool for a TV show, though they'd have to delve into the conspiracy and other background stuff for the war
<2022-06-21T09:15:40.000Z> BrothorCraig: And they can't exactly bring back dooku... 
<2022-06-21T09:18:34.000Z> minespatch: I find Grievous's backstory simple and easy to make into a self-contained story. Nothing too extravagant. IT'd be like Death Note. Showing the downfall of a good man.
<2022-06-21T09:18:57.000Z> BrothorCraig: So like a one season shot? 
<2022-06-21T09:20:46.000Z> minespatch: Or a movie
<2022-06-21T09:21:49.000Z> BrothorCraig: 👍 could be pretty cool yeah
<2022-06-21T09:24:25.000Z> minespatch: Yeah, simple stories. Nothing too complex and gets the point across.
<2022-06-21T09:25:34.000Z> BrothorCraig: Something Disney wouldn't be able to do lmao
<2022-06-21T09:25:49.000Z> minespatch: mhmmmm
<2022-06-21T09:26:45.000Z> BrothorCraig: I think a series of Vader based on one of the books would work great
<2022-06-21T09:27:21.000Z> minespatch: Has to have the right writer. Not really excited about the current industry.
<2022-06-21T09:27:21.000Z> BrothorCraig: It's right after Empire and its him obsessing over Luke while planning out how to kill the empire and turn Luke
<2022-06-21T09:27:41.000Z> minespatch: Or a adaptation of "splinter of the mind's eye"
<2022-06-21T09:28:02.000Z> BrothorCraig: Can't, it's not canon
<2022-06-21T09:29:02.000Z> BrothorCraig: More weird Luke and Leia incest? Lmao, they weren't brother and sister in that yet 
<2022-06-21T09:30:27.000Z> BrothorCraig: Maybe borrowing a ton from it would work out
<2022-06-21T09:31:44.000Z> BrothorCraig: Kotor or that Era would be great imo
<2022-06-21T09:32:04.000Z> BrothorCraig: It'd help more properly flesh out what the groups are and what they believe 
<2022-06-21T09:34:25.000Z> minespatch: Eh, I'm just not that passionate for Star Wars like I used to. Better to just make a new property.
<2022-06-21T09:38:12.000Z> BrothorCraig: Well yeah, Disney murdered it
<2022-06-21T09:38:24.000Z> BrothorCraig: 😔
<2022-06-21T09:39:53.000Z> minespatch: More specifically: Bad Robot.
<2022-06-21T09:40:01.000Z> minespatch: Those cretins are ip killers
<2022-06-21T09:40:09.000Z> minespatch: Disney just assisted to the murder.
<2022-06-21T09:40:30.000Z> minespatch: As did Warner brothers for DC comics, and other companies that work with Bad Robot.
<2022-06-21T09:44:00.000Z> BrothorCraig: I don't think it's just bad robot tbh, even the comics and more are no good anymore
<2022-06-21T09:45:27.000Z> minespatch: and you'd be right.
<2022-06-21T09:45:47.000Z> minespatch: MArvel, dc... Mainstream's just downhill for nepotism.
<2022-06-21T09:47:58.000Z> BrothorCraig: Yup, they only hire internally so they end up just rotating through the same weirdos and their friends so everything is constantly terrible
<2022-06-21T09:50:25.000Z> BrothorCraig: Case and point https://i.poastcdn.org/4aab093693f4efc98bf085f18e5a3de61370000240d2ac8f34c9f64530f03d1d.jpg
<2022-06-21T09:51:29.000Z> minespatch: mhmmmmm
<2022-06-21T09:51:50.000Z> minespatch: So yeah, just sayin'. Make new things, keep away from the filth.
<2022-06-21T09:52:32.000Z> BrothorCraig: Should be interesting as some of the oldest properties become public domain, we'll probably get some good new batman comics soon
<2022-06-21T09:53:03.000Z> BrothorCraig: 2031
<2022-06-21T09:54:41.000Z> minespatch: Hopefully, unless the banks and other villains manage to keep their tricks.
<2022-06-21T09:55:24.000Z> BrothorCraig: They can't. We're at the breaking point because of Mickey lmao
<2022-06-21T09:55:59.000Z> BrothorCraig: So either we'll go fully lawless laws or it'll be public soon
<2022-06-21T09:56:09.000Z> minespatch: we'll see
<2022-06-21T09:57:02.000Z> BrothorCraig: Yeah, I imagine it'll happen though because all of the stuff is not viable for sale anymore and these businesses are killing themselves. Without that cash they can't manipulate the laws...
<2022-06-21T09:57:21.000Z> BrothorCraig: Plus, animu  is taking over
<2022-06-21T09:58:34.000Z> BrothorCraig: While good, it's also terrible 😔
<2022-06-21T09:58:44.000Z> minespatch: Silver lining, I suppose
<2022-06-21T09:59:44.000Z> BrothorCraig: >every new series results in subhumans screeching about big booba characters being pedophilic 
<2022-06-21T09:59:59.000Z> minespatch: ugh, tell me about it. 9n9
<2022-06-21T10:00:56.000Z> BrothorCraig: Blank?
<2022-06-21T10:01:20.000Z> minespatch: blank as in thoughts or...?
<2022-06-21T10:01:34.000Z> BrothorCraig: Your message wasn't loading lmao 
<2022-06-21T10:02:47.000Z> BrothorCraig: Plus, there's the inverse issue though of a series going way out there. Monster musume did that. At least I found some other comfy stuff to ready
<2022-06-21T10:02:51.000Z> BrothorCraig: Read*
<2022-06-21T10:05:10.000Z> BrothorCraig: My wife has no emotion is pretty comfy https://i.poastcdn.org/580f706fcec30c3aaf8161663e1c500ca1706532744bb30c52fff44e78b33d58.jpg
<2022-06-21T10:05:37.000Z> BrothorCraig: Dude falls in love with his robot 
<2022-06-21T10:05:39.000Z> minespatch: Glad you found your happy spot. Mine is Blasphemous and Dark souls.
<2022-06-21T10:06:05.000Z> BrothorCraig: You don't really read any Manga then? 
<2022-06-21T10:06:32.000Z> minespatch: Have you seen my giant bookshelf
<2022-06-21T10:06:37.000Z> minespatch: It's massive.
<2022-06-21T10:07:14.000Z> BrothorCraig: I think it was in the background of one of your pics, but I didn't really examine it
<2022-06-21T10:07:32.000Z> BrothorCraig: Any recommendations? 
<2022-06-21T10:08:12.000Z> minespatch: Golden Kamuy, Genkaku Picasso, Assasination Classroom, Et Cetera...
<2022-06-21T10:08:24.000Z> minespatch: Cowa(Akira Toriyama)...
<2022-06-21T10:08:53.000Z> BrothorCraig: 👍 I'll check them out then
<2022-06-21T10:09:13.000Z> BrothorCraig: Ever read Dredd? The old school stuff from way back is fantastic 
<2022-06-21T10:10:31.000Z> minespatch attached file https://i.poastcdn.org/cc556ae5d4cdbe8f5ca68cf7973a85e1fe43b0e814a95f8617904ada070f1361.png
<2022-06-21T10:10:42.000Z> minespatch: I own a 20ad sampler from Comiccon
<2022-06-21T10:11:06.000Z> minespatch: I also recommend Adam Warren's Empowered, Eric Powell's Goon, and Underzo's Asterix.
<2022-06-21T10:11:10.000Z> BrothorCraig: Hellsing is pretty based
<2022-06-21T10:11:40.000Z> minespatch: Love Hirano's work. His scratchyness in his art is a inspiration to me.
<2022-06-21T10:11:49.000Z> minespatch: Puts so much detail in his work.
<2022-06-21T10:12:01.000Z> minespatch: I can see why he loves Hiromu Arakawa's work.
<2022-06-21T10:12:09.000Z> BrothorCraig: Dredd is pretty great, I'm on book 12 
<2022-06-21T10:12:37.000Z> minespatch: Currently reading Conneticut Yankee in King Arthur's court.
<2022-06-21T10:12:49.000Z> BrothorCraig: The hash marks are something I'd tried to integrate into my own stuff tbh
<2022-06-21T10:13:02.000Z> minespatch: Planning on rereading Brother's Karamozov after, and then after that it's the first Drizzt tale.
<2022-06-21T10:13:12.000Z> minespatch: I need sleep, talk to you later.
<2022-06-21T10:13:17.000Z> BrothorCraig: Those are comics? 
<2022-06-21T10:13:21.000Z> BrothorCraig: Goodnight
<2022-06-21T10:13:26.000Z> BrothorCraig: Sorry to bother
<2022-06-21T10:13:40.000Z> minespatch: No, books with text.
<2022-06-21T10:13:57.000Z> minespatch: I read them while I'm using the restroom
<2022-06-21T10:14:12.000Z> BrothorCraig: Ah
<2022-08-01T12:00:27.000Z> BrothorCraig: poa.st/notice/AM56nsYxaICeHZXiDY
<2022-08-01T23:29:39.000Z> minespatch: Thanks bruv
<2022-08-01T23:30:07.000Z> minespatch: BEHOLD! The master weapon: A kitchen ladle! https://i.poastcdn.org/f73c6f53fc8dba5cdfd82da93e31e446f6fc268c2a037de0fba13defe8138da9.png
<2022-08-02T12:59:20.000Z> BrothorCraig: Is it any good though?
<2022-08-03T02:17:31.000Z> minespatch: I didn't use it, I just  wanted it for the curiosity. Someone recorded a entire run using it though.
