Ugh, man...

This has been yet another one of those nights where I tripped and fell headfirst down a "versus battle"/"whowouldwin" rabbithole. I'll try to keep this generally speaking, but there are a few specifics of this particular instance of rabbitholing which I'll mention toward the end.

It seems to almost invariably come down to some form of either Superman or Goku. Granted, there are other characters, like Lucifer Morningstar (with or without Michael Demiurgos) or Featherine Augustus Aurora or Elder God Demonbane or Saitama or Bugs Bunny or whoever else, but even those often tend to get thrown at Superman and/or Goku.

With Goku, there's broken shit like Xeno (not to be confused with Zeno), but he's usually just a part of Composite Goku (which may or may not include things like Vegito or Gogeta).

As for Superman, I've long been aware of broken stuff like Superman Prime One Million and Superman with the Sword of Superman and, of course, the fucking Thought Robot/Cosmic Armor Superman. However, tonight, I learned of the existence of two more completely busted Supermans, those being Strange Visitor Superman and... ...Milkman Superman (aka Milkman Man). And... it is there, with the concept of "Milkman Man," that I have to bail completely the fuck out of this particular instance of this particular rabbithole and go the hell to bed.

In the end, it all boils down to nerds arguing (usually poorly) at each other on the Internet. It's morbidly fascinating to look at, occasionally, but I can only take it in small-ish doses.

*weary. goddamn. sigh*

I've always wanted to at least try to play the old Wizardry games at some point, though I have yet to get around to it. I guess it's good to know that if I ever do that, I can definitely stop after Wizardry 8 with no regrets, since everything after that is apparently worse-than-useless dross.

Also, a couple of the comments under the article reminded me that Richard "Lord British" Garriott, known best for Ultima, is also into that crypto/blockchain/NFT bullshit now, and that just makes me sad. And that, of course, reminded me that Will Wright is into that dumbfuckery, too, which makes me even more sad. (And so is Peter Molyneux, but I quit caring so much about him years ago, so that doesn't make me all that sad.)
