not an av guy sorry but how do you get into it

Worf is a really interesting character. He's a Klingon that knows nothing about Klingons except what he learns through the lens of the federation. So on the one hand, he learns all the rules to being a klingon, but none of the exceptions to the rules, and he ends up becoming the most Klingon Klingon.

What I mean is his main narrative arc in TNG involves him colliding head on with the contradictions of Klingon society. He's internalized a rigid, highly inflexible code of honor that other Klingons kind of respect but also find pretty bewildering. He's willing to take discommendation in service of the empire when it's strongly implied that no other Klingon would be willing to. At the same thing, it's recognized that this honorable act is in service of covering up another house's dishonor. Eventually it all leads to a civil war, which instead of purifying the empire only solidifies these contradictions, which Worf also finds incomprehensible, as highlighted by the scene when he's in a bar with his brother Kern, whose busy drinking with warriors from the enemy faction.

It's also pretty interesting how Worf ends up becoming what is probably the most important Klingon of the century. He participates and ends up deciding two separate succession crises by killing corrupt chancellors and even restores the office of the emperor, before putting his own adoptive house in the position of the chancellorship.

It's a shame that none of this was really followed up on post ds9. Worf single handedly positioned himself to rejuvenate the dying Klingon empire, and all that was killed in its crib by the tng movies and abramslop.

The fat men are back to talk about TOS.

So what's going on lately in the world of marvel and dc

>>47110
Marvel - Hiterlite cringe stuff in cap book as usual

Spider-man #1000 coming up, MJ is Venom

Thor is a mortal again with amensia and uses a sling and hammer as his weapons (Peak by Ewing)

X-Men, same old same old

DC is killing it with Absolute line
Marvel's Ultimate line is coming to an end, other than Ultimates, nothing has been consistently good

>>47110
Absolute is okay-to-good, everything else is crap.
Begging people to read non-Big 2 stuff, the medium needs to be set free.

I'm only three years late to this post so allow me to shed some timely light because I thought this was an interesting question that I'm somewhat prepared to give an answer to. The more complex answer than just "psychedelics" is that 50s-70s comics artists were part of a much broader cultural shift that involved modernist art trends seeping into popular culture. Artists who reached their artistic maturation in this period were studying art in a world where cubism, futurism, abstractionism, etc. were no longer controversial new waves but well-established languages, and the new guys weren't just going on to become gallery painters but a lot of them became designers, commercial illustrators, etc. And then pop art did a lot to accelerate this shift. Those guys weren't necessarily the ones who became comic artists, but they helped diffuse these ideas into the mainstream. And this was also happening at a time where nuclear physics, computers, SETI, the space race, etc. created a real "wonders of science" zeitgeist that also begged for new ways to visualize it in a way that properly conveyed its power, strangeness and excitement. I think this is what makes Kirby a truly epochal artist: he more than the writers he worked with turned superhero comics into a reflection of this zeitgeist.
I'll also note that comic artists have always been on the lookout for formal ways to communicate movement and power on the page instead of just drawing things as they would "seem". For a long time this was the influence of cinema, and before that it was Art Nouveau. So the necessary pull towards "weird" non-literal visually challenging art was always part of the medium.
All of this harmonizes very well with psychedelic culture and in Ditko's case there's the explicit influence of mysticism and such as well, but it's more of a shared heritage that was affecting everything, rather than direct influence of LSD. This is why the intuition that something must have been "in the water" was partly correct and the answers saying "they just imagined it duh" are kind of misleading. But I don't think any of the important 60s Marvel artists took psychedelics or cared about counterculture. Stan did later make an infamous attempt to cash in on underground comix, and the people who came after were a lot more hip to new trends and probably brought in some deliberate influence from psyPost too long.

I liked the assassin's creed formula where characters speak convincingly authentic accented English

i mean, the art is really good, it's just not unsettling or even scary. analog horror focusing too much in religious stuff kinda wash away the horror it could be (but idk, horror in video format is a bit "dull" – unless you count jumpscare as horror)

>>40858
Analog horror is kind of defined a lot by visual elements. But yeah, the people that make them need to learn how to do horror narratives better. Read some books, maybe.

>Avatar: The Fandom That Failed

The original Avatar MoCap is pretty damn intriguing. I think I like the design a bit more, in the sense that the narrower faces and less hyper-realism was interesting.

Found an interesting positive opinion on Avatar and Avatar: Way of Water. I don't wholly agree with it, but it is an interesting perspective.

Restoring Files

Anyone play the new fighting game that just recently released? Looks fun. I hope they eventually add all characters to the game.

And last resort because this will spread disease although you can lower the risk by cooking it; Excrement, as in literal shit and piss

>>47503
You can treat excrement so that it no longer has diseases but still has the good stuff.

What this won't take care of though is heavy metals and other stuff that bioaccumulates in the human body, but there are ways of getting that stuff out of the soil too. Sunflowers are generally pretty good at sucking up everything in soil so they can be used to help reduce contaminants (just make sure that once they are grown you go bury them somewhere else to help return the contents to the sedimentary layer).

Giving three norway maples a haircut. It'd be an eyesore but I'm considering leaving the trunks as snags
This year I've planted joe pye weed, spotted bee balm and a few more varieties of coneflower

>>46749 (me again)
>I've selected one that was crossed so as to produce larger fruits (but still ripen on time unlike most of the crosses).
Saved seeds from these and the new fruit are doing great, the fruit got even bigger! Have about ten plants after aggressive selection (more on that later). Actually fertilized these beds this year, and started the tomatoes early, so no doubt that helped too.

>Other crops include a large collection of thai kang kob mocshata pumpkins.
>Only one vine of these really produced, so I'm going to select from this one.
I selected from two and they are going crazy from my low maintenance beds! Unfortunately had a hill of assorted Moschatas (more on that later) and these all died from a lack of maintenance.

>We've also got a small plot of russian kale.
>Another very resilient plant that tends to do a little better in the fall when there's no butterflies to eat them.
These plants are doing great this year too, although they pale in comparison to the wild mix I got (more on that later).

>We planted a lot of half-runner beans, but not sure any actually produced.
>A favorite from around the area.
Still have a bunch of these growing.

In theory yes, but only if civil infrastructure accommodates for it, which most of the time prioritises carfaggotry.
