Manly Guys Doing Manly Things

@3374 Oh, right, it was more than just implied. I forgot that they had out-and-out confirmed it (I was remembering the strip where Rock talked about how they'd just put in a few additions when soldiers came back unconscious... I remembered him tapping at his skin, which I took, apparently correctly, to indicate that he had some subdermal plating put in).

Urbosa and Ganondorf.

Urbosa and Ganondorf.

EDIT: 'ed. Left the tab open too long.

Urbosa rules. She's my second-favorite of the champions from Breath of the Wild. (Mipha was my favorite, but she wouldn't fit nearly as well in MGDMT).

G really should have seen this coming. It's implied fairly strongly that Urbosa and the rest of the Gerudo in BotW are descended from Nabooru (directly and/or by teaching), and she was no fan of Ganondorf. Stupid voe.

Historical revisionism, I say.

Technically, Castle Town was full of golems, but yeah, Ganondorf didn't exactly bring prosperity to anyone but himself.

Apropos of nothing, I'm curious what this comic will make of Kratos' son in the new game.

He's already appeared.

Meanwhile, Tank has regrets about his ab work.

Being able to eat only nutrient slurry does sound awful.

Considering Tank has apparently perfected banana bread, it's perhaps even more frustrating. I'm going to guess that he's probably working with people on how to correct that slurry issue.

Eight years of MGDMT

And I wish I had his problem. If not for my mustache I'd have people asking if I was old enough to vote, let alone drink.

^note 18 and 21, for the record, in the US

Yeah, I have the opposite problem from Commander too. I'm 31 and commonly mistaken for early 20's by people in my workplace.

I'm with Jonesy. A bit above her level but still heck.

I'm a lot closer to 30 than I'd like, but I haven't gotten the hang of this whole "adulting" yet, either.

Probably because it involves bills and stuff, while not adulting means chocolate bars for lunch.

My life philosophy is this:

I work hard, I pay my bills, I provide care and support for a disabled individual who I've elected to share my home with, and I pay attention to politics and try to be an informed voter.

If I want to watch My Little Pony, eat candy, and play Pokemon in my spare time, that's my right as a grown-ass man. Because I am a grown-ass man, and I get to decide what that means.

..Yeah I don't count watching whateveryouwant instead of sportsball marathons on TV as "not adulting" :P

My proudest moment as a 14 year old was being asked if I wanted to try for a membership of some store that required being overage. Or one time I was in the UK and had a medical emergency and the doctor misread my birth date and thought I was 28 instead of 18.

When I was 16, people would ask me to buy booze or cigarettes for them. Now that I'm 38... well... at least I am as old as people assume.

Also, I have to admit, that's younger than I thought Rock was. Based on how extensive some of his stories are, I thought he was around my age. Eh, time travel is a bunch of bull anyhow, and Rock is the first to admit it.

Finally, as I said, I'm 38, and I'm with you, Jonesy.

My chronological age is 35. I'm either older than I look or younger than I look, depending on whether I'm wearing a hat. With the hat, I've been mistaken for a teenager. Without it, my male-pattern baldness (which started in my mid-20's) is plain to see.

As for my "adulting" skills, I have lived with my parents my entire life, so outside of holding down a steady job, they had never truly been tested. But I just got a sink-or-swim course in it after mother had to be rushed to the hospital with severe stomach pains and vomiting. She spent one month there followed by another month in a rehab center recovering from the resulting gall bladder removal surgery and its complications. My father passed away almost nine years ago, so I spent the past two months fending for myself, and I did fine.

I kept the bills paid and the fridge and pantry stocked. Perhaps even overstocked. Finding basic staples like milk, bread, and eggs in package sizes one person can use up before they go bad was a challenge, and there was a lot that I ended up having to throw away. It felt like such a waste. I had a similar problem when I tried making pancakes one morning. I didn't realize the recipe on the pancake mix box was meant to feed an entire family until after I'd started mixing the ingredients together and realizing "I'm gonna need a bigger bowl". So cooking is something I need to work on now that mom's back home.

But other than that, I'm still standing. While it was sad what happened to my mother, getting to prove the Basement-Dweller stereotype wrong has been a big self-confidence boost.

New one. Pacific Rim 2-flavoured.

I loved the first Pacific Rim but I've been putting off the second one out of apprehension at how much they seem to have missed the point of the original judging by trailers and reviews.

You're not alone in that one, bud. I own Pacific Rim on both digital and Blu-Ray. I'm not going to be doing the same for its supposed sequel. What a shame.

Yeah I know Kelly liked it but

eh.

I was not a fan. It lost the spark it had. And it did some things to the original cast that I am not a fan of.
