I'm looking to buy and read graphic novels. I'd really love it if it's very chunky and long (relative to most) to get through. Also, might be just me, but I cannot really justify buying buying a relatively pricey graphic novel just for me to finish it in one sitting 😭. I'm used to novels, so I would really want a book that I can take my time with, and would feel "complete" when I finish it. Also I'm really really new to the medium, so I I'll probably be open to most of the classics. I do have some DC Compacts which I liked. But some other GNs I'm interested in getting are From Hell by Alan Moore, Maus by Art Spiegelman, Blankets by Craig Thompson. Any other recommendations? It would be great if they're a standalone too, like just one big chunky book! Thanks!

Hello so may Soc Sci 2 class ako na kung saan in-announcw ng prof na hindi raw siya mag momonitor ng attendance. Alala ko n'ung morning after that announcement, halos kalahati ng klase na lang natira sa f2f lecture. Ang tanong is if may catch ba ito? First time ko kasi makakuha ng klase na hindi chinecheck yung attendance. So pag may 6 absences na ako, ok lang at di ako ma-ddrop? Or baka may catch yung prof na "uhm actually🤓, bawat absent mo, bawas points sa final grade, at bawas taon sa buhay mo. Y'see, this was to test your loyalty and responsibility as a student." o kung anumang twist niya. Ang dami ko kasing tambak na gawain, magaabsent na lang ako bukas doon para makahabol sa iba.

This might be a little scrubbyvor salty but I had a weird match with a zuko player today. I can consistently do Katara's corner BnB combo. Her 214A-9DD-J.B-j236B-J.B-J.214A-- (ground bounce) - B-C... Or for short her enhanced whip canceled to launcher into jumping enhanced light whip - - ground bounce - then B and C attacks... . Normally I could hit my opponent with B and C while they ground bounced but in this match I just couldn't, they would just phase through. It was weird because the connection was alright for the most part. It only happened in this match and I really can't figure it out. After the matches, I even checked it on replay takeover. And for some reason it worked there?? Like the B and C attacks worked during the ground bounce in the replay takeover. And tbh it tilted me cuz katara's cancels are hard enough as it is, and dropping her combo is so disappointing. I fell for all of Zuko's parry LMAO. This may be the scrub in me but I will say that whenever I'd grab them the game would rollback like a frame or two. But that might just be the salt deluding me lol. May I ask what could the problem be? Was it the frame delay thingy? It didn't really recommend me to set it though.

Man, this animations are funny ong. I genuinely get happy whenever I see him. And him being a grappler on jet engines makes it even funnier.

I'm not too knowledgeable about Paramount+ so will this show have a weekly episode drop or would they drop the episodes by batches?

Lots of FGC stuff happening lately. The Avatar IP pulled a lot of casuals in, and the actualy gameplay retained most players. But the rushed state also deterred a lot. Theres also Tokon and other games competing for attention. All these said, will this game not become a "discord fighter" after som time? Im genuinely hoping not because it's so damn AMAZING! I CAN'T STOP PLAYING. I'd do everything i can to help this game succeed in the long run.

Since it's been such a stacked month for the FGC, I've been engaged with the online community lately. And in the current climate, Tokon and Avatar are everywhere. Despite it being blatantly rushed, I'm having fun with Avatar. Sadly cant say the same for Tokons cuz I'm pretty sure it wouldn't even launch . But I feel like Tokon people are so widely present and weirdly "aggressive". "PC Port is unoptimized", they'd respond with "huh? Not me! I'm doing great. Freedom!!" or like "you must be one of *those*. No Linux allowed.". I even saw one responding to a post regarding the PC performance : "Those are JUST the vocal MINORITY" dawg 😭

And they try to sneak all their Tokoness into every discussion not related to them. "Ugh, Tokon is THE SUPERIOR game. 2xko is TRASH! Avatar what?" or "Tokon will obviously not die in the first couple of months" even when the original post is unrelated to tokon. Even in the Avatar subreddit, people mention Tokon??? I've never seen people so "insecure" and tribalistic with a game before.

I just really don't like the current discourse of fighting games right now. Feel likes most peeps are pulling each other down. And it's getting really annoying.

I feeling kinda disappointed with how I'm finding Yasmine. Other than the diversity she adds, I absolute adore her design and and character. All her animations and visual add to that. But come to her gameplay....she's kinda basic? It feels like she has a lot of limitations. And my mains are Elena and Juri which are considered pretty basic as well. I'm no expert but I've just been basing it on my experience playing her since her release. I really love her design but not a fan of her gameplay, which is really sad. The last time I felt this was when I went from playing GG+R to GG Strive. I feel like Yasmine was a "GG Strived" Sf6 character. She's easy to use and straightforward, and that's about it. Though this just my first impression. Hopefully she'll have more sauce when she's explored.

Asked here to have less biased answers lol. Purely gameplay-wise, for me, it feels so good to play. I can't put my finger on why exactly. I've been holed up in my room for the past 3 days just grinding the game. It's definitely fast but still gives me some room to breathe. Granted, I'm not much of anime fighter (I mainly play SF6, with some others I've mained before ). But if I were to compare its feel, I'd say it feels more like Guilty Gear +R which I reallyyyy loved the feel of too(Didn't play that much because no one in my region played). Also, I'm one of those who wasnt impressed by the animations at first but it has definitely grown on me. It's simple and clean and the effects look really good.

But good God, its obviously unfinished . It leaves such a bad first impression on people who are new to FGs😭. Missing images, missing animations, glitched trials, no cpu difficulty, no ranked... Katara even has a glitch where she flings herself across the screen when doing on of her ex moves. It's safe to say Paramount is to blame for this; the devs put so much passion in making the game, I'm doubtful they'll release the game at this state. Also the sudden xbox delay is insane.

I'm praying that this game wouldn't loose much of its player base after a few weeks or months or after tokon releases.

Putting the issues aside, the gameplay is so damn fun. I'm really not into these type of fighters at all (The non 6 button fighters) but this one is sooo funnnnn. The combos are so rewarding to do and the combo breakdown is a stroke of genius (almost up there with Replay Takeovers ngl). The neutral, i think is very good. It's not too fast paced for my taste and there's a lot of breathing room for a mainly sf6 player like me. It reminds me a lot of guilty gear +R (which is non 6 button fighter but this is an exception cuz I love it). But unlike sf6, there's less guessing and more active button activities lol. The art is also so good. Initially, I wasnt much of a fan at first because I was comparing it to Skullgoats, but having played it now, it really so nice to have a 2d animated fighter. But it's so obviously rushed out by Paramount cuz there's a lot of missing. But the gameplay is already pretty good. I guess its only up from here.
