  • I think the problem is not preferring manga/comics over regular books, but rather that anon implies, with the whole “not being willing to make a manga or at least a graphic novel”, that normal books are lazy inplementations of literature, which is such a dumb and inconcievable POV that we are justifiebly ridiculing them.















  • What Remains of Edith Finch comes to mind for me.

    In the game, you play Edith Finch going back to her family home. It was home to multiple generations of the Finch family. This family has a serious case of bad luck, and most of them didn’t get very old. As Edith, you explore all of the rooms and see the final moments of the person who used to live there.

    It is not a horror game - but it is haunting, in a sense. If you enjoy good stories and writing, give it a try. It’s only about 2 hours, and best played in a single sitting. It’s also on sale regularly.



  • That’s kind of the problem though - they do follow the teachings. The bible clearly states that two men who sleep together must be stoned to death, and that people are encouraged to spread these beliefs. It is true that they are ignoring the parts about being kind to other people, but at the same time, you are likely ignoring the parts that tell you that you can keep slaves as long as they are from other regions, that you cannot eat pork and shellfish, and that you must stone gay men.

    This makes you absolutely a better person that the dipshits that OP is complaining about. But nevertheless, they are likely just as christian.



  • 1670 (Polish)

    A satirical comedy following a Polish lower nobleman, his family, and a few of the serfs. The nobleman (Jan) wants to secure his legacy and increase his status/power, but doesn’t do a great job. The characters are very well made, and the story is very ridiculous.

    Norsemen (Norwegian, but in English)

    Also a satirical, dark comedy about vikings. This one primarily relies on absurdism for its humour.

    Both are on Netflix (which is sadly American, but I’m sure there are alternative ways of watching).
