Denji's image recovering somewhat from that cover is funny, for many it was about the "aura loss" (very new child tiktak word) The ending's conflicting emotions are taken as you're bad for liking this, yet it doesn't reject pulp violence. But amongst many things, it as a journey of self improvement

Reform UK's massive general election victory will be a parade of Reform voters being aghast that Reform politicians believe exactly the things they do but a bit more vocally.

Alien Headbutt's inevitable axe signals a deeper issue in Jump than most other. Well drawn, creative fights, a pro wrestler theme should be the magazine's bread and butter. If that can't be a hit any more then there is a shift the magazine simply isn't grappling with. Cause it still can produce hits

Never thought about Denjiman is armor, but it coming up again made me consider how much better a description it is than a power up It allows Denji to hide from the world while having control over it. The ultimate power fantasy. We never see his face pop out unlike before till Yoru says Asa consents

i like this evolution.

despite everything it’s still you

Never got the whole who pays for what on a date things. We just alternate between buying things, and if it gets a bit out of sync that's whatever. Maybe caring so much is the issue.

Our English patch for Kowloon's Gate, the surrealist Asian-gothic cyberpunk PS1 adventure game arrives June 9th.

Creatives don't owe you shit. They fundamentally do not owe you shit. They made something. You saw it. There was never any responsibility involved. They don't owe you a "better version" of the work. They don't owe you "less problematic writing". They don't owe you more episodes. You deserve nothing.

When you’re hating on something for legitimate reasons and someone with an Ai pfp chimes in blabbing about “woke” and “DEI”

Virtua Fighter leak sure looks like VF with cool camera angles and some kind of special crush counter state. So that's nice. Glad Pai looks a tiny bit older, though more to do with style. Fighters need to stop being scared of older women.

Can't wait for this scene in the new movie

What happened to TADC fans? Because I remember them being an average enough fandom at first, just made fun art. Then the last fewof episodes dropped and everyone turned insane. I suppose when fandom becomes the hobby a self destructive nature arises, which is spreading alarmingly fast.

Unironically one of the most important game dev texts of the era

Everybody loves Gyaru, but no one is willing to make Eurobeat for them to ParaPara

Online story analysis has become about "fact" gathering. It's a bit cart before the horse. As if narratives are records of event or working their way through truths already placed down. The focus on worldbuilding, powerscaling, etc ignores these are nearly always made to enable narrative or themes.

The Internet review's fundamental flaw is the belief it has to be comprehensive rather than insight from a specific field. Perhaps that's true of opinions in general.

The one was #59, what a banger on my part

thinking about this tweet today. generative AI has done a wonderful thing; now everyone can have their own horse kicking them in the head even if they aren't a billionaire. and now billionaires can have two horses kicking them in the head at all times. a very valuable service

digimon trainer: yeah no you can't go around on earth like that. we need to find you a disguise or something. christ-on-a-crucifix-mon: i did not choose to be made into this form. digimon trainer: i know man, but you still can't. christ-on-a-crucifix-mon(sexy version): what about me.

MHWorld is still hard for me to reevaluate. Not just cause Clutch Claw. If I'm rolling back QoL, I may as well do it to a point where it might feel rough but mechanics had stronger purpose. World is a fairly well navigated compromise yet one nonetheless. Also fuck wasting time on Clutch Claw

Worrying how much dating advice/discussion is downstream of incel lingo. Wherever it starts, sooner of later women will be blamed for their choices. Seeing any while in a long term relationship is like a flashbang, you just luck out and find someone you get on with well. It's not that deep.

While there's logic to this, it feeds into the issue of we try to shuffle left while the right lurches on. The last decade in politics hasn't been defined by careful movements. The right has embraced extreme positions and won repeatedly, slow movement targeting the same vote is odd on many fronts.

Not now, Elder Gods From Outside Reality Frozen Under The Ice For Aeons

Power scaling becoming so omnipresent online, compared to how easily writers bend the rules for narrative or themes. Is going to grow more wild as people insist their hobby is a serious analysis technique. Everything is sports or sports betting now.

Big Lewboski rewatch made me think of Fujimoto citing it. The Dude is pulled into the world of main characters but that doesn't impart any special status Dragged into people's orbits, assumptions made about him, and attempting to get rewards out of it backfiring. The title doesn't even refer to him

Power Scalers play such a funny motte and bailey. It's totally serious analysis of consistency, except any application just turns into playground fights. You'd also think by now they would've noticed any series that attracts power scaling, is 99% character wins by new ability cause themes and such.

please remember all of us who will dislike Nolan's Odyssey for non-chud reasons.

No 3DSXL should cost half a steamdeck. You should walk into game and see stacks of them being given away.

The artwork of Soukaigi by Natsuki Sumeragi used on the cover of the original soundtrack release in Japan. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied.

I know MonHun games are made asynchronous, but Wild's follower system being such a step down from Rise's is crazy. Especially with such a large focus on story. From a large colourful cast, who have a whole mission section in the menu. To NPCs the game sometimes act like are real characters.

do not. address it

There's a couple more than that

Zack is a messier a person than his initial image, suffering both from exaggerating and not dealing with the bad PR well. But rapid firing these are a mistake, too many Polanski left the toilet seat up makes actual dirt more likely to be ignored. Which has been the case with most populist figures.

Chiropractors are a scam, but I'm glad someone is getting their neck broken for my ASMR needs.

This summary of different early medieval literature is still one of my favourite things on the internet. #medievalsky

Analysis of Asian works ignoring their religions and philosophies is a real problem. Like the west not everything is based in Christianity, but the cultural effect is hard to escape A Japanese game or manga could be inspired by western works, but its worth stepping back to go what about Buddhism?

Amazing video, covers so many angles. Personal brain worms, does make me a bit sad about the need for games to be products. Desires of gamers vs the vision of devs. Neither side always gets it right, but the state of things makes it harder for games to be left in an okay spot that fans chew on.

As someone not into many choice he's making with costumes/sets, Nolan really should be trying to sell his artistic vision rather than poorly claim there is a historical reason. Like no he didn't make the armour black cause of Mycenaean daggers that are blackened bronze. It just looked cool to him.
