I don't think you need a more sinister explanation here than 'money'. Why sell someone something when you can rent them something indefinitely instead ?

A dirty secret of the stock market - no-one has any idea what the fuck is going on either, it's bullshit all the way down. The winners are the people who correctly predict how other people who have no idea what they are doing are going to react to things.

So I have mixed thoughts on the ending for Territory Defense -

There's not much of a common theme with that list, so not sure on similar to the existing ones. Hmm - the other ones by Blue Core author are pretty good if you haven't checked out Paranoid Mage or Systema Delenda Est, both of those were good and are finished. Similiar to Chrysalis - Syl maybe...

Zero interest, because after watching the bodycam video the jury would laugh so hard that he'd need to pay THEM damages as well.

I thought the pilot was ok, but the second episode was so bad I stopped watching.

It started pretty well, flailed around in the middle and then abruptly ended without going anywhere interesting. As far as the trans thing goes, it turns you into what you want to look like, so there's no deeper message there - unless you want to also intuit some deeper meaning into Kutcher's...

That scene was in 1997; introducing time travel is close enough to supernatural that the same complaints would probably apply. It would also be painfully stupid because after inventing time travel you decide to be pointlessly cryptic - not even no name, or no gender, it doesn't even say what...

No, but that dude being just normally crazy is still a reasonable explanation. I.e. instigating incident for the mother being a cunt, and no deeper meaning. We'll see I guess. I was a little disappointed at them for the kind of casually upbeat portrayal of the bunker buddies though. 7 people...

First one was pretty fun, entirely apart from the inherent entertainment in the modern military vs swords and sorcery ( I don't know why there are so few examples of this ? ). It's played mostly straight, but it doesn't take itself too seriously, and there's a fun sense of humor through it...

Yeah, there is just so much stuff, even just the basic gear let alone the set bonuses. I only just unlocked the throbbing domain, which appears like it has a whole new tier of unique items. My cat collection is kind of a mess now though, pack of deformed mutants ;p

Hell mode is more fun than I anticipated. The edgelord/wholesome meter is pretty much the opposite of what I was expecting. I lol'ed at the MC's defensiveness about being a degenerate multiboxer.

This just has so many funny interactions. Just had a tank with wrestlemania and preemptive counterattack. Stuff runs in to attack and he suplexes them, leaving them to attack empty space in the wrong direction, while also covering his back against backstabs. Wrestlemania is great in general...

What does that actually mean ? That article says only one person has been cast so far, and the picture of her obviously isn't in character/costume for the show.

I lol'ed. Dunk looked like someone hit him in the head with a hammer.
