Maybe this is more the case with manga releases, but I'm surprised Sunrise doesn't explore the UC timeline between ZZ and Char's Counterattack more. Maybe there's not much there to mine for, but it feels (predictably) lopsided, seeing how much stuff is made right before or right after the OYW.

I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing that I've been so caught up in current work that every time I check out bsky I'm seeing like 5 new main topics randomly pop up that I heard nothing about prior

I honestly would just prefer if users were able to label their own stuff w/o being punished by algorithms. It's the equivalent of getting rid of a product in a store because it warned that it contained peanuts in it. My brother in christ, I saw the warning, I'm not gonna buy if I'm allergic!

This is why everything sucks. It's not trans people. It's not immigrants. You are being robbed blind before your eyes and those same people also own all the tech and media networks to tell you that the cause is not them

the most important thing for everyone in this country right now is to practice self preservation. they are entirely rolling back the first amendment and the ability to protest, be careful

Every time someone says "I didn't agree with all of his ideas" when begging for civility around Charlie Kirk, just ask a simple question "which of his ideas did you agree with?" It's all you have to do.

"but we can't support trans rights, it's unpopular!" just a reminder that US approval for marriage between black and white people at the start of the civil rights movement was 4%, reaching a whopping 20% by the end of the movement it's 95% now you don't wait for popularity for a rights movement

Wow. New NBC poll finds 78% support vaccines, including 72% of independents and 67% of Republicans. As I keep trying to argue, Democrats should polarize the shit out of the vaccine/public health debate. Make people take sides. It will split Republicans and MAGA. See this:

Get the hell off Substack before you literally can’t anymore without blowing up your business

More details to come once I actually update my watch thread, but August was a packed month. Whole lotta Statham films with family, caught up with some classics I've been meaning to and a few extras there too. Was hoping to see Caught Stealing & Honey Don't by now too, but early Sept's fine too

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

I have lost all patience with the apparently unshakeable conviction that striking a reasonable, moderate pose means assuming the sincerity of transparently pretextual horseshit. Donald Trump does not care about reducing crime in DC. He is testing and normalizing paramilitary deployments in cities.

it very much is not, have establishment dems considered maybe not pulling the ladder up after themselves in a desperate attempt to appeal to people who don't give a shit about them

Didn't do this last week but also didn't have any time to watch stuff THIS week so have a relatively new #LastFourWatched

Hidden Folks is this week's ✨ Free Game ✨ on the Epic Games Store! It's a beautiful & silly game I'm very proud of! You search for hidden folks in hand-drawn, interactive, miniature landscapes. store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/hidd... For Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS (!!) (in the EU).

If you are thrown off by this because it’s not a sequel to Chrono Trigger, you’re missing OUT. Trigger has it beat in the pacing, but for the story and themes (as they’re relevant to me?) - I have way more fondness for Chrono Cross. It’s weird and messy and just human in an esoteric way.

Somehow, this year's Discotek Otakon announcements might be my favorite set yet. Really excited to finally have the second Digimon Movie set + dubbed Shin Chan, but lots of great stuff interspersed in general. (woo Monster) I also would love that Caglisotro Steelbook but I still have my 4K copy 🥲

I think it's really important for this post to be on bsky

Reminder, again, that, yes, while the DOGE-ing was juvenile & clueless, it is vitally important to remain focused on the fact that these people need to be arrested, prosecuted, & sent to jail for a very long time for illegally & unconstitutionally dismantling the federal government.

These and a very dangerous third one are getting very prominent, especially in the deeply niche hobby circles: people getting shit either completely wrong or just outright making shit up but getting by because it's milquetoast enough for people who don't know the subject to not question it

credit cards shouldn't tell you what to buy. you're supposed to tell the credit card what to buy. thats the point i think

This is where we are now. Stay safe please.

"SNEAKERS is a film about a lot of things: ever-advancing modern technology, personal privacy in the earliest days of the digital age, still-frosty international relations of the post-Cold War era, guys being dudes, and the ways in which the American government—to put it broadly—sucks."

With NSFW games under attack, I've made my entire history of sexy, lewd, and porn games available for free on YouTube. My guest @hotpink.bsky.social explains the precarious state of selling these games online when credit card companies can squash you at any moment. Please RT and share the info!

Morning! I’m not usually this person, but with the rise of payment processor overlords and their decision to attempt to censor adult content the way they are we are working closely with a legal team to try to make waves or at the least drops in the pond. Please help spread the word and share.

I've been saying this for years, but every time someone dares suggest this you get a bunch of "OH SO YOU THINK TOKU IS CHEAP AND INFERIOR AND SILLY" responses crawling out of the woodwork.

Take out Puss n' Boots (good, but I watched that weeks ago but forgot to add) and replace it with Flow (also really good) and I'd say that's a solid #LastFourWatched

definitely not a knock at any of these games but the thing about Haste or Rollin' Rascal or even the Spark games to an extent that makes them feel super different from most 3D Sonics is that in these games if you jump while going fast you kinda just Go? you keep all your speed and fall really slowly

you motherfuckers gotta stop linking the new york post

You have at least some hope of making a majority of the population smarter than rocks but there is no getting rid of dumb authoritarians once they are in power except through violent upheaval. To quote my favorite fictional character of all time:

One thing about the current panic and how it’s almost exclusively targeted at LGBTQ people is looking back at growing up and realizing that almost every single instance of either straight up criminality or just being a creep at my school was done by a middle aged male teacher to a female student

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander: "I don't think the line for the [Democratic] party right now is between progressives and moderates; I think it's between fighters and folders."

Not a bad count but tbh, I thought I'd have seen a little bit more of their list. There's also a ton of glaring holes I need to fill as far as watching stuff. I do think NYT made a generally good list, although I think it leans a bit too "auteur" & and feels like reading LBoxd on another site

This guy was indicted for bribery lmao

All the respect to Daisuke Ishiwatari for going "I helped turn Ars System Works into a major studio known for fighting games, so now I want to help allow other people to make passion projects of their own, while also allowing ArcSys to release more than just fighting games".

Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"

I almost didn't pick this cause I just assumed it'd be way more than 50k logs. Easily one of my favorite career documentaries.

Still somewhat reeling from this announcement - I'm excited to have any signs of life for Detective Conan in the states again, let alone was I expecting them to attempt a English dub again. I really do need to give the dub on the Discotek releases a solid shot too, they seemed alright

I do not get how Bluesky does not have authenticator app support yet for its 2FA. If you're going to randomly auto-kick me from being logged in, at least don't force me to do the email song and dance every time

I can't emphasize enough how ugly and pervasive and persistent the "Mamdani hates Jews" campaign was. I'm happy that so many Jews stood strong against that vileness. Maybe people will start to understand that we've had it with being treated as a paranoid, easily manipulated single-issue bloc.

don't rank Cuomo!!!!!!! come on NYC / Mamdani let's goooo

HAPPY JUNETEENTH! Today I wanted to celebrate by highlighting Black American gaming professionals who's impact in the games industry is undeniable and who have been a big source of inspiration for me. So often we do not get our flowers in this space so today I do that! Check out my newest article!

Three New York City-based board game cafes have ratified their union contract, securing a laundry list of protections for workers represented by @tabletopwu.bsky.social.

Solidarity to everyone celebrating Juneteenth today
