!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Just finished Adventure Time for the first time. Finn's loss of his arm trying to connect with his selfish father and its replacement with a demon-laden version of himself followed by cold metal is a rich examination of the dehumanizing reduction of man to utility expanded upon by almost every other character (but particularly his disembodied mother). That said, Jake was totally his cure for male loneliness.
Great, now you are ready to watch Distant Lands and then Fionna and Cake!
Jake is also a terrible father

Luke had a pretty decent support system, despite some serious alienation issues to work through, so a hand and part of the forearm were sufficient.
Don't forget that one.

Ummm.... Then what's his excuse?
Well I mean you can't be lonely when your wife is always with you.
I decided 35 years ago that if I lost my arm that I was gonna get a metal one, maybe with a built in ratchet set.

A colleague has a badass metal arm and I can confirm that it's a great conversation starter.
On the flipside, though, I can only imagine that it wasn't easy to find a partner...
