Feel Fury does a better job merging its sentimentality and cynicism the way Saving Private Ryan tries to.

Someone else already said it too, but "shoot that guy" is so great.

As Pratchett admits himself, it's a historical fantasy where he can have all his most idealised versions of his favourites from the Victorian era pal around while also advertising Henry Mayhew's book on the London poor.

I heard there was a new season. Usually wait until they're all out before binging.

Guessing it wasn't good? I remember the last season straining to include the podcast.

Got the opposite thing where I'll try to talk about stuff, see no response, and decide to go back to barely posting.

Though it means I avoid getting into the discourse so maybe I've actually been lucky all this time.

People talk about never-ending TLJ discourse but that was just whole swathes of media discussion for the longest time.

Those are pretty good.

Keep meaning to get into drawing myself. The main thing is not getting discouraged because it's not a 1:1 copy of what's in my head.

Any good introductions then? My knowledge of post-war South Korea mainly comes from sources centred on Park Chung-hee like Ezra Vogel's book.

I've heard good things about The Making of Minjung as an introduction to the democratic movement in South Korea. Is that the case or is some pre-existing familiarity needed there too?

Could playing super-gory visual novels have saved V'ehxness?
