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.
You realize that John DiMaggio (most famous for voicing the Scotsman in Samurai Jack and Master Shake('s muscles) in Aqua Teen Hunger Force, but has also done some other notable roles such as Elzar on Futurama or Bender on Futurama and apparently like half of the shows that involve voice acting out there) voices Jake as well as Banana guards 1 and 2!?
That doesn't stop the voices from being annoyingly high and children's tv coded. I've only seen a little bit of the show, but for me that's an obstacle.
I may try to muddle through and see if I can stand it.
My local arcade brought in an MK2 machine and I swear I must have blown a year of allowance on it. Which retirement home are you leaning? I thought Palm Oaks looked nice
motors have been getting better but having both the max speed and max strength of a human arm at the same time in that small a space with a reasonable cost and power consumption remains difficult afaik
but it would be so much fun to design new arm parts, little gizmos etc
i would absolutely make my arm play doom, have a built in flashlight, battery bank, reactive rgb lights, modular customization, etc. since I have to be wearing a bulky electronic thing anyways...
there's a guy on youtube who lost most of his hand who's machined a very incredible purely mechanical replacement (no electronics)
Yeah, to some degree I get it. The guy does need help with some things and can't perform certain physical tasks. And it is an entirely different thing to be tolerant to that vs. being married to it.
But the guy is kind-hearted, educated and sporty. He's missing an arm, but others might be missing a brain or a heart, which I feel are much more detrimental for a partnership.
Unfortunately, though, dating someone with a visible impairment really gets the gossip going, and people are scared of that, so I guess, it's better to date a dumb ass instead.
Having said all that, the guy is married by now and has a healthy son, so all is good in the end.
What male loneliness? Surely you are talking about incel loneliness? The vast majority of adult men are in one form of relationship or other, what is this dumb shit?
Male loneliness generally refers to evaluating male relationships outside of their primary partner, or even one close friend. It's about the dwindling state of larger support networks, and how many people in their network are emotional connections, compared to just activity connections. Example - if you lost your partner or your best friend, how many other men in your network would be there to help through the tough times? How many men would have no one else to turn to?
But it's a meme just get yourself a badass arm and don't think about it too much.

So either a cool robot arm or a cool magic dog
Finn got both tho
Lucky Mathhole
Jake is also a terrible father
Huh, here I was thinking it was a reference to masturbation. And how evil it is.
Some of the analyses of Adventure Time I've seen make me tempted to try to get past the voice acting and give it a shot.

For some men, the loneliness runs deep. Get two just to be safe.
Is that a modern version of Jax?
It's MK11 art, modern yes but still 7 years ago (oh god)
Well ... Good to know. Thank you for the answer.
Man. I got the first mk for Christmas. When it was new.
My local arcade brought in an MK2 machine and I swear I must have blown a year of allowance on it. Which retirement home are you leaning? I thought Palm Oaks looked nice
Nuts do that. I'm dying at home early rather than a retirement home older.
its also the last MK that Tsang tshungs original VA was active. the new one is by a different person.
A badass metal arm and a robot cat? Chai is living the dream!
And his arm played guitar better then his meaty one did lol
Objection! He mainly uses said guitar as a melee weapon; therefore it should be classified as a percussion instrument.
What is this from? It looks cool
Game is Hi-Fi Rush, that pose is from the second level intro.
Came here to post my man Jett. TY for your service.

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.
Liquid Ocelot: “Or just someone else’s arm.”
We all remember Metroid being a great example.
Has a wife and kid, still lonely (idk I haven't played MGS yet)
Ohh, not quite. He does have a cyborg dog tho. Also, this would be Metal Gear Rising.
He has a mostly metal body. Or likely carbon fiber.
So it's the cure to female loneliness as well?
Assuredly. But also a metal-armed female companion cures male and Metroid loneliness, too.
A mechanical arm would make many things easier. 😁
Until it malfunctions.
MASTURBATION MODE ACTIVATED!
"N-no! D-don't activ-vate! And wh-hy d-do y-you have t-to announn-ce it-t so loude-ly!?"
Almost as bad as the time he accidentally activated crushing mode instead of masturbation mode. Ok, no, this doesn't really compare to that.
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.

Are any of these men NOT lonely?
But they're hecking cool I'll tell you what
If they weren't, they wouldn't be looking for a cure, now would they?
When a newspaper headline asks a crazy question, the answer is always no.
Ummm.... Then what's his excuse?
Well I mean you can't be lonely when your wife is always with you.
Or if you're Alphonse Elric you just get metal... everything.

Feels like a ridiculous additional if you've played the game
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...
yeah, most people are absolute shitwillies if you have even a slight physical limitation regardless if it's heritable
Yeah, to some degree I get it. The guy does need help with some things and can't perform certain physical tasks. And it is an entirely different thing to be tolerant to that vs. being married to it.

What other attachments does the hand have?
Robo-stranger.
Sekiros arm is made if wood if i recall
How about 2:
I guess 2 cancel each other out.
Probably helps when your wife is alive too
💀
Answer: yes
Yes, especially if it makes you insane and starts talking to you, now you have a friend and aren't lonely!
No, but I would enjoy a badass metal arm with badass powers, of course.
Only one right metal arm.
Hmm pretty sure they keep rightie so they can get tightie.
Lefty is gone on all of these characters.

It didn't work for Peter Pettigrew.

Cutting your own hand and replacing it with the 'Hand of Vecna'
Counterpoint: Darth Vader.
All the rizz left his body with that hand. Though, one could argue attacking from the low ground is anti-rizz too.
i don't like ass metal
Praise the Omnissiah!

It's a joke.
