Show me something that didn't age well?

was watching a podcast on the titanic from a year ago and saw this comment....😳

[marce-mallow]

Barney: Are you sure you aren’t dating Badyah?

Norma: Well, if I am, I certainly wasn’t informed of it.

Barney: To be fair, if any of us were dating someone without realizing it, it would be you.

[meanwhile]

Logs: So you and Norma are dating, right?

Badyah: Hell yeah we are.

Heavy JJK spoilers ahead (post ch 221). Some thoughts on our favorite OP sorcerer’s fate.

I know everyone out here is saying that Gojo will die on December 24th. I get it. It makes sense, especially knowing Gege the way we do (god that would be horrible and I would not be okay at all lmao). But like… if he dies? I feel like that’s such cheap storytelling lmao.

Killing Gojo is frustrating and not enough for me. We all know Gege hates him and wants to kill him. And I get the parallels between Gojo killing Geto and Kenjaku using Geto’s body to kill Gojo (even though this wouldn’t make sense since Kenjaku canonically has been destroyed by Six Eyes users in the past). I get it. But why not do something worse? Instead of killing him why not take his eyes?

“Are you the strongest because you’re Gojo Satoru? Or are you Gojo Satoru because you’re the strongest?”

He’s the strongest because of his Six Eyes. Why not just… take that away? Blind him. Destroy his identity that way.

Y’all know I love Gojo and I don’t want him to suffer, but I think that’s a more interesting narrative. Because having Kenjaku kill Gojo for the Geto parallels feels like a waste after JJK 0. We’ve already seen Gojo and Geto clash. We’ve already seen their past together. We've seen this twice now. I don’t need it a third time. And if Sukuna does it? That’s so fucking boring and stupid and so goddamn predictable. If Sukuna kills Gojo, I will be done with JJK. Gege would have spent the whole story hyping up Gojo saying how powerful he is, only to have fucking boring ass Sukuna kill him? Gojo literally says to Yuji in the first couple of chapters that he could win against Sukuna. (I know. I know. "BuT aT wHaT cOst." I don't care. I stand by it.) Sukuna has also already done the unthinkable and taken Megumi. He's already killed dozens of people. He killed Tsumiki. Whatever. We get it. Sukuna is big bad guy. WHATEVER. I would be so bored if this happened. Sukuna is a BORING villain right now. Having this boring villain take out Gojo? It's lazy, Guys. It's predictable. I want more than that. Gege is capable of more than that. I said what I said. I think it would be a waste of both characters' potential.

(Edit: I also know that it’s been foreshadowed that past users of the Six Eyes and Ten Shadows have killed each other. I get that. I still think it’s boring because Megumi is possessed by Sukuna and Sukuna is fucking boring without Yuji. So idc about the foreshadowing. It wouldn’t be Megumi—the ACTUAL holder of the Ten Shadows—killing Gojo. It would Sukuna killing him. Fucking boring and lazy.)

Blind Gojo instead. Take his eyes. Take the one thing he’s cloaked himself with his entire life—his power. Make it mean something. He is nothing without those eyes. He literally changed the world of JJK by being born because of those eyes.

So take them. Make him be just like everyone else. Make him be just another guy in the story who isn’t special.

Gojo is a tragic character who is too powerful. Make it mean something. Take away the only thing he’s worth.

Take the Six Eyes.

I think there's no greater indication that disco elysium is sympathetic towards communism when it literally says "communism is failure" and then the literal gameplay itself rewards trying and failing. The most obvious one being the Shivers check at the FELD mural, which is an Impossible 20 check BUT opens itself up again and again the longer you spend in the world doing things, but even just looking at sheer probabilities, for any given white check, rolling first and THEN putting a point into that skill upon failure is more likely to grant you success than putting a point first and then rolling, but that would require failing first.

Other things too: Precarious world saying you'll 100% fail red checks no matter what (not necessarily a bad thing, btw!! throwing the boule into the sea is a success but like. in some other ways one would want a perfect petanque throw instead. but people wouldn't typically assume that failure is desirable sometimes from the start) persuading you to accept that you'll fail some things that is irrevocable, for a world where everything is just a tiny bit easier.

The faux game over screen when you faint after reading Dora's letter— emulating a sense of failure on the scale of the entire game. When it rolls up most people go "What?? Game over?? No way, what did I do wrong!!" and waking up after that, with no huge or lasting impact on Harry's health or morale really tells the player, "Sometimes things will seem so bad that it all seems like it's coming to an end, but it's not the end, it's really not the end, go drink so water, you can still go on despite this failure"

I'm sure there are other things as well that are eluding me but like. The literal gameplay rewards failing and succeeding far more so than simply succeeding every single time, and I think you get a fuller experience of Elysium that way too
