BEAUTIFUL WOMAN NEXT TO ME ON PLANE: that music you’re listening to at max volume in your headphones sounds really interesting, what is it? ME: heh, it’s called “Infinity Rage” and it’s from Hajimari no Kiseki, but you might know it as Trails into Reverie HER: wow

To prepare for Code Vein 2 coming out soon I finally played the original game and beat it after a couple of days. It’s fun but definitely has its flaws. Hopefully 2 will be better.

#MerryChristmas to all who celebrate! Here's to a day filled with family, presents and food. As to what you should eat to mark the occasion, well, IYKYK.

Imagine still using Twitter.

Don't ever listen to people's weird watch orders for long-running franchises like Gundam. Just pick something that appeals to you and dive in. If something is confusing but you still enjoyed what you watched, it's fine, and you'll be fine.

Finally saw Paddington 2. It truly is one of the perfect movies and also a perfect sequel too. I laughed hard a lot especially during the prison scenes.

the #1 movie from when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 will go Uhh....maybe it's better to be a ghost, I guess??

bsky.app/profile/cgua... The #1 movie from when you were 10 years old is how 2026 will go Yeah sounds about right given how the world is sinking into more shit.

fucked up for a retro gaming brand owned by a man manufacturing missiles, sentry towers, and drones amounting to $1bn in US defence contracts specifically to market a device as being made out of the same metal as their killing machines tbh. Fawning coverage not pleasant either really

Very pleased to be able to publish this interview with the legendary composer behind so much of FromSoft's best music (and beyond) in English /and/ Japanese, cos we know there's an audience in both languages for this sort of thing:

Only now did it click that Thunderbolt anime director Kō Matsuo directed the excellent anime portion of Battlefield Record UC 0081… So good! youtu.be/7PQGW5PERsc?...

My final interview of the year for @rpgsite.net is a tag team effort with @bk2128.bsky.social: Yuka Kitamura on wanting to release a solo album, leaving FromSoftware and going freelance, music composition, her workflow, boss themes, coffee, and much more: www.rpgsite.net/interview/19...

Well, guess Embracer decided to get out of the anime business. In the end this is really nothing more than lateral movement, though my guess is that anything from Anime Limited may now see release in North America through GKids.

I'm no fan of corporate consolidation either, but if an acquisition is unavoidable, I feel it's better for them to be owned by Toho than the shitshow that is Embracer.

ah, is this why my holiday sale order still hasn't shipped, a week after the holiday sale ended? anyway, good for anime ltd for breaking free from embracer. we'll see what this brings, I suppose.

if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄

This is like a little boy playing. There's a bus and a tow truck and a police car and another bus and a construction man and a plow and a...

I take it all back we should absolutely let AI run the vending machines

Gift link, probably the funniest thing the Wall Street Journal has done this year.

WHAT IS CHARLOTTE’S WEEB??

I’m gonna hold off on Baldrs gate 3 for awhile. I’m planning on getting a Switch 2 soon and there are also other games coming out in the next 3 months… January-March is always a busy time of year as most of games I want come out at this time.

Badum psssh

@grantthethief.bsky.social If Black Panther and Storm had kids would they be called Thundercats?

There is a physical release but you have to buy it from Larian directly and it's often out of stock.

I kind of want to pick up Baldrs Gate 3 on PS5 but lack of a physical release is annoying and this game rarely goes on sale…

Happy 80th Birthday to Ernie Hudson, whose many acting credits include HOLD IT, THIS GUY IS 80? WHAT????

Ernie Hudson vaguely hit on me once at a con and to this day it is my gold standard for being hit on by an older guy. lock eyes. head nod. “Heeeeyyyy.” walk away. that “walk away” part is crucial. not treating me like meat or expecting anything. just “you look cute thought you should know” vibes

just a collection of "inevitable" multi-billion dollar tech that was going to be the future of everything until everyone in the audience who was supposed to just get on board said "lol no"

My Hero Academia anime finally ended but I lost interest and the franchise for a few years now. The last few arcs in the manga were underwhelming along with the ending… The appeal to me was gone about 2-3 years ago.

@silencedrowns.com Happy Birthday!

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Last Saturday I went out to Rosemont to see what the first North American Gundam Base is like, and consider what it could mean. You can read about it now on @scanlinemedia.com and @mahqdotnet.bsky.social: www.mahq.net/gundambasech...

All those excuses CEOs make for gen ai is the same as the folks who were banking hard on "eco-friendly NFTs"

Imagine a government that cares about the safety of it's citizens.

I knew the latter fact thanks to the documentary Deep Blue Sea (1999)

Thanks to the funneling of all earth’s wealth, technology, and power into this one project, the future is finally here: a hallucinating powerpoint flesher outer lauded as “more or less OK” by people held at gunpoint.
