Unlikely the first to say: using Toriyama’s name on the newly announced projects is a bit ghoulish but at least with the Moro stuff it makes sense.
Slapping his name onto a game whose title isn’t even official when he probably threw together a few character designs and that’s it feels icky though.

Rewatched The Sixth Sense for the first time in a very long time last year. It actually holds up really well, even knowing the twist already.

Raggin on dude for how he LOOKS sittin in his car ain't right.
The real issue is social skills. Sounds like shorty was interested & instead of conversing, he ranted. I run a DB pod & when people go on long rants how "GOGETA IS THE GOAT" I think "K. Weirdo." Imagine what functional human women think

let’s talk about this.
the problem isn’t that women don’t want “nerdy” men in the traditional sense.
the problem is yall lack grooming habits that appeal to women.

All these football posts casually dropping Dragon Ball references are deepening my depression. I come to my Dragon Ball feed to AVOID reality, not have the failings of the Buffalo Bills thrust into my face
For the record: the only problem with firing McDermott is that it didn’t happen 6 years ago…

Manga Monday.
This is a VERY out of context moment (for context: it's from when Bulma is told that Vegeta has died after facing Buu) but I needed a sad/crying moment to express how sad I still am after having my guts ripped out by the Bills.

I may be so horrifically depressed from another Buffalo Bills loss that I can't bring myself to turn on another football game, and the thought of it makes me want to vomit but that doesn't mean I can't channel that horrific sadness into something.
