I hate this stupid meme, or rather how it's used

I hate this stupid meme, or rather how it's used

The point of the meme is that the man does not understand what is being said. Even if he does understand, the punchline is his under-reaction. That is supposed to be the Funny.

Yet every time you see this meme it's always some awful news headline in place of the baby, and the man is saying "Jesus Christ" or "What the fuck" or something. There is no punchline, it's just "bad thing happened and man is upset about it". I don't know why memes are now considered a method of relaying news.

Yes, I am the kind of person to be annoyed by improper use of meme formats. I also don't like how that one "Peter Parker putting his glasses on" meme reverses the original scene, where his vision gets worse when he puts on glasses because the bite cured his poor vision (for some reason), so the meme is backwards: he should see better when his glasses are removed. Anyway this has nothing to do with the post.

Sorry if i broke any rules btw, first post here

Are there more interesting narrative uses for Shin and Mang?

They're visually cool and all but I hope PM can come up with interesting things to do with them rather than just sprinkling them like candy onto bosses.

Like, Canto 9 was basically Shin City, everyone and their grandma (aka daughter) had Shin, even Saru probably had Shin.

And I don't want Mang to just become powerscaler fodder like "oooh this guy can use five, but this guy can use seven!!!" like when are they going to introduce the guy that uses twelve? Is that how we're gonna do it?

If the powerlevel increases as it has in the past few Cantos, then we're basically never gonna stop running into dudes with Shin and Mang. There's no reason not to use it if you're a higher end fighter, unless you're a weird freak (Callisto) or going without it on purpose (Matthias). Unless they introduce a drawback I guess.

Favorite in-battle voiceline? (or least favorite)

I know CHA! MAGANERA! and MATTAGHN POERUL are already basically burned into our heads, so I wanted to highlight one I don't see people talk about.

I love Papa Don's voicelines. It's less what he says (they need to add universal subtitles btw) but the way he says it, he just has so much... let's not use the A word. Presence. He comes off like a king passing judgements from on high. He is both so, so tired but so powerful that he can laugh to himself while obliterating a fool with a flick of the wrist. Of course it goes without saying that his "La Manchaland's Don Quixote!" is peak and i'm glad they kept it in mirror dungeon, but I guess that counts as regular dialogue instead of "in-battle".

Obviously there are so many good ones in this game, I love Counting with Rien, Jia Mu's unintelligble shouting, Lei Heng's Lei Hengness, Ricardo and Matthias laughing like they're frolicking in a field when caving in some poor bastard's skull, etc.

If I had to pick a least favorite, it would be the goofy ass noises Gasharpoon Ahab makes. I can't imagine what instructions they gave the VA for her to make those noises. Like chill the fuck out ma'am. Her actual battle dialogue is still really well done though.

how to navigate getting boiled alive?

Hi, I'm from the Middle East, and on top of the shitfest that this area is and has always been, we are probably foremost in terms of getting fucked by increasing heat, second only to India I think.

I don't know if or how much we're being affected by this "super El Nino" thingy but the heat has been fucking ridiculous!! Tomorrow it will be 42 degrees in my area. 42. What the fuck is that? Years ago i'd be dreading a 40 day. It's May. What is going to happen in August?

I'm spending all day like that one Jordan Peele gif, I don't think humans are supposed to exist at these temperatures? I don't even have to be outside much, what is happening to the farmers and construction workers and such? At what point do they just drop dead?

I'm just drinking a lot of water and hoping I won't have to be outside after like 10 AM. It is what it is I guess.

What would you NOT want to see added to Limbus?

Beside the obvious stuff like a gazillion (more) microtransactions or whatever.

Personally, it's material farming. Like, "Collect 25 'Damp Bedsheets' from 6-48 to uptie Heathcliff to Rank 4" type shit. Anyone who's played Arknights, like KJH himself, would know how fun and awesome it is to grind rocks. One of the things i like about this game is that once you get an ID, you just need XP and threads and absolutely nothing else.

On that note, i also never want to see "gear" or any similar thing associated with the gacha in this game. I used to play HI3 and it had this, where characters would only be 'complete' if you also had their signature weapon and stigmatas (passives, basically) which came from their own seperate gacha banners. So you'd blow all your hard-earned gacha currency on the character, then just be stuck playing a kneecapped version of them because you couldn't afford the other stuff.
