MeToo was the only reason people started caring about Epstein, btw. Everything Epstein did was more or less public knowledge for decades prior, but only after the social consciousness of "rape by powerful men is bad actually" hit, did it get taken seriously, starting with Miami Herald's work.

The weirder thing still is in the Japanese this line isn't about the kids at all, but about their wives. So presumably not a Japan-driven change? Fascinating thing to tweak anyway

Everybody always talks about how shitty it was the way Konami handled terminating Hideo Kojima. But I so rarely hear people ever talk about how, when Hironobu Sakaguchi left Square Enix, management at SE seemingly told all the staff to never talk to Sakaguchi, and also ostracized his protegees.

For anyone looking for another source, this article is nearly 10 years old. That's how long we've been talking about this and y'all are still grotesquely comfy with pepe emotes. www.latimes.com/politics/la-...

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

You know, I had never seen Predator 2 before today. It is a movie. It is even an amusing movie. I can't say it takes many more words than that. Though I did write just a few more words on Letterboxd. Nothing special, but it's up there.

Found this video recommended to me today, and the next time I have to wander into Anaheim, maybe I'll try taking the Metrolink instead, if it's just gonna be nearly the same amount of time as driving, anyway.

Remember: never get mad when bad people do bad things, because other people who do worse things exist in this world, so by comparison none of the other bad things done by other bad people are actually bad. (brought to you by YouTube comments)

If a famous person contacts you, no they did not.

I also use Carrd to host my subtitle editing and closed captioning portfolio. It's proven very useful.

Happy #IndieAnimationDay! 🎞️💕 Whatever your idea is, chase it. Whatever the depth of your skills are, make peace with getting started and they'll get better over time. And it'll never be perfect, because you're always changing. So just put that project out and take the lessons into the next one. 🫶🏾💕

People underestimate my ability to replay Final Fantasy IX and only Final Fantasy IX forever.

After finishing up a stream of Final Fantasy II for Famicom at the beginning of the week (first time playing it in many years), I've written up some thoughts on my experiences with this original version of the game on my website.

I'm actually looking to pick up some more closed captioning/subtitle editing work to get me safely to the end of the month. If you are a content creator or work in other media, please leave a reply here if I can help you with this work, and I'll start DMs with you to talk about it some more!

Ooh, I almost forgot, Final Fantasy XI's Starlight Celebration should probably be starting about a month from now. I've missed logging in for those. The music and snow in all the main towns always kinda brought a tear to my eye.

Who else didn't get FFXIV Fan Fest tickets? Admittedly, while a park day on the exact days as Fan Fest could be fun, another thing to consider is that there's also way cheaper day tickets on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, & Thursdays. (I've got them park friends but I wanna cater to FF folks specifically.)

He was right, this was meant for me.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "THERE'S A GIANT INFLATABLE KAIJU?!" I NEEEEEED TSUBURAYA TO BRING THIS SHOW OUT TO THE WEST COAST, PREFERABLY TO THE GREATER LOS ANGELES COUNTY AREA, IMMEDIATELY

It is dark, rainy, and cold today, and I don't have a lot of motivation to do much of anything.

I cosplayed as Fujin from Final Fantasy VIII over 20 years ago, and I think it's time to bring her back, but casual, easy, completely unrecognizable in daily situations, and with wildly more comfortable shoes.

Tangentially related: I learned that Disney World and Disneyland are releasing these Kingdom Hearts pins next year, which I would collect despite not being one of those Disney Pin collector types, but they're limited to only 4,000 each month, and I know they're just gonna evaporate immediately.

You think Jay Leno is gonna go to one of his eighty-bajillion gigs down at the Flappers comedy club in Burbank and make a shit ton of Trump blowjob jokes, or is that something solely reserved for shaming young women?

Dammit, man, why couldn't the Clintons just have let Bernie have that 2016 nomination, man. If this was a thing the whole time, maybe Bill should have just, I'unno, warned his wife about this or something.

Don't miss this amazing interview with one of FFIX's English translators, talking about the process!

Boy, looking at other people's Letterboxd reviews, it sure looks like a whole lot of other people really didn't likeThe Running Man. But after having read the book, and seeing how close this movie is to that book, I actually REALLY liked it a LOT, dunno what to tell ya. I wrote some thoughts here.

Waited in the queue, but no FFXIV Fan Fest for me, it seems. I'll just be standing outside the Anaheim Convention Center. Looking in. Dreaming.

At the top of the hour, I'm playing more of The Final Fantasy Legend, still right at the beginning of the game, and get ready, because I power leveled my party like crazy. See you at 12:00 Noon PST! Link in the next post at that time.

I never read the book I admit. So, this part she mentions shocked the fuck out of me. Because I literally went "What?! Like, the book place in the year 2025? Given what the story is about, fuck. Talk about accuracy.

‘The Owl House’ creator Dana Terrace responds to Disney+ funding AI-generated short form content in new tweet: “Unsubscribe from Disney+. Pirate Owl House. I don’t care. Fuck gen AI.”

Hell yeah, Running Man time.

Got some work done, might almost be time to get back on my Final Fantasy XI bullshit.

Watching shows from 20+ years ago and seeing characters who are the age I am now who are way farther along in their lives than myself and everybody else I know in my age bracket because things just got worse for everybody since the show was made 🙃

One day I will finally cosplay as Sion from The Bouncer at a convention, doomed to be stopped by people wanting a picture of "Sora from Kingdom Hearts", destined to always explain that it's Sion and that he came first.

FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH CHANGED WAY TOO MUCH

Amano art for Expedition 33, holy shit, that's so fuckin' cool.

I'm begging you all in the media. Please read the emails for more than 2 seconds. They don't just say Trump "knew" about underage girls. THE EMAILS SAY HE PERSONALLY PARTICIPATED.
