Megatokyo

I gotta say, the latest megatokyo annoyed me. more so than usual, i mean.

Megatokyo has a lot of flaws. For one thing, it's pretty much avowedly a dating sim, which brings some problems to characteristics (or not problems, perhaps, so much as they are going to be retreading tropes). For another, it's never really funny - the worst parts of the comic are those where it seems to try to be (Largo, that robot girl, etc.). But in general the story is still pretty engaging, even though it is melodrama, so I continue reading it.

This latest one definitely annoyed me, though. It seemed to ascribe to a model of relationships that really seems to me to be not true. Maybe that's overstating it a little; let me explain what I mean.

Piro usually seems to be a realistic character. He's consistently written - maybe the things he does aren't things I would do, but they are things Piro would do (and yes I know that's a tautology and you know what I mean). Hell, even the beginning of this latest strip makes sense. Even if he's going to stand up for himself, he'll do it quietly. But after that... i think that that is something that only happens in songs. I think it's bullshit. maybe i'm wrong, maybe i'm right, but I don't see Nanakawakanakaknakaknak or Piro doing what they do.

What fuckin ever.

In other news nothing new is happening, the boolean stuff is still true. I got a haircut, i guess. thatttts life
