People talk about how bad movies, music and comics are as industries these days but the gaming industry is so bad you can't even make games anymore

The problem isn't that good anime isn't be made anymore, it's that good anime isn't being properly MARKETED anymore. If it's not a battle shonen, good luck getting any of these streaming platforms to properly promote it. Crunchyroll included

As someone who grew up with his books, I'm surprised that Christopher Hart is still at it with those "how to draw Japanese stuff" books nowadays. I thought he'd fade into obscurity after the early 2010's, because of better and lower-cost resources available (both in print and online).

www.videogameschronicle.com/news/square-... I imagined trying to get through bug reports written by an LLM and immediately got an honest to god headache. What do you mean I can’t even go back to the person who wrote it and ask for more details because there isn’t one, but it can still make shit up?

insult to injury

you can tell i'm not a zoomer or gen alpha by the way i properly call it a 'VCR' and not a 'VHS player' or a 'VHS machine'

“If it wasn’t valuable, people wouldn’t be stealing it”

“LOL look at this—“ “I wanted to try out Chat GPT to—“ “Look at how realistic this creepy thing—“ “Its just a funny video—“ “I know its AI but—“ No. Many of us have said/done this innocently before or without thinking so I issue no judgement here. But the ones that know it & do it on purpose tho…

thinking about mega bloks picard with the a bit too realistic head

Fairly recent one that I really liked. Another OP that perfectly matches the tone of the anime in the best way possible! Awesome stuff and something I appreciated as a manga reader of this LONG before the anime. (Honey Lemon Soda OP)

Our friends Wings and Aji up in northern New Mexico need some help distributing grocery gift cards for people in their area who lost SNAP. I'm sending $50. I'm going to make and post a fruit or vegetable drawing of choice for the first 10 people who match my donation.

I am pleased to announce that we only need one more sign-up for charity Valor this weekend to run! Viacruz Nazis? We hate those guys. Fight some Griefers in The Wonders of Mundus: the Valor to Defeat Hunger! Through the link: www.tinyurl.com/tv2dh9th

stop doing phrenology with the computer!!

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

had a dream there was a love live bluebird and sonic promo collab and they paired aurora with shadow for some reason everyone thought it was really funny and everyones posts about it used these pictures of them together even though there was new art for the collab

YuuPomu is a generational pairing and I'm not even joking. Multiple YuuPomu memes have breached containment, and Asumi-chan (very good, very smutty lesbian romcom) is literally drawn by a YuuPomu fanartist.

this is b/c transphobia is a brain-melting cognitohazard. it's v. important to understand this. once you go down this path you cannot shut the fuck up about it, whether you're a republican reactionary or a beltway centrist, to the point where it resembles any other kind of net-induced cybersickness

regardless of your feelings on the genre, reviews are to inform people & you can do that from angles like "person who's not super familiar with the genre, how is this game generally" or "person who is, how is it different/better/worse". "person who was never going to play this" isn't an angle!

I am so upset. Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

Two of the most significant politics editors in Teen Vogue’s history were working class trans people from Ohio and Philly, and their tireless, fearless work is a huge part of why so many people are mourning its demise now. @satansjacuzzi.bsky.social and @leximcmenamin.com you will always be famous

Fighting back against AI is great. But please hire more trans women. One would be nice. More than one would be ideal. Zero is… telling.

As someone Very Online long before web 2.0, it still startles me sometimes how thoroughly some people swallowed the corporate line that using social media should mean exposing your entire life to anyone who wants access to you, and not just...talking to people you want to talk to in a meeting space.

If you're like me and took a break, the holiday season is the perfect time to start flooding call centers again (more info⬇️) and 🇺🇸 GO VOTE IN YOUR LOCAL ELECTIONS TODAY 🏃💨

also, why is it that when people critique the "overabundance of sex" in fictional shipping spaces, they treat sexual intimacy as antithetical to platonic and romantic intimacy — especially where queer men are concerned. people have sex with their friends. sex can be an extension of platonic love.

hey if you are an artist who depends on SNAP, ✅ share some art ✅ share links to where people can buy from/donate to you ✅ share the thread ✅ share someone else's post too ✅ label NSFW/horror/etc. properly ⛔ no AI #artistsonbsky #supportartists #artshare

Seeing this chart as an impressionable young man was a formative moment in my political development

Can confirm. Back in May, our Crunchyroll subscription - which we’d had for years without issue - was suddenly denied by Mastercard due to being “high-risk”. Even attempts to push it through manually got flagged, so we had to change payment methods. Past history didn’t matter at all. So stupid.

To quote myself "I COULD toast this bread with a hair dryer, but it would be far more effective and enjoyable if I just used a toaster" Yeah I get it, some folks aren't ttrpg players, they are dnd players. Some folks don't want to spend time learning other games and ya know what that's fine BUT

Imagine anyone saying this about a shounen comedy.

I'm all for getting reviews from people who aren't already fans. I know a lot of people who aren't into Warriors games who would find that take helpful. But my advice to my team when this comes up is always "don't start your review by disqualifying yourself"

Wild opening paragraph, maybe you shouldn't be the one reviewing a Warriors game then

Due to some financial trouble, Im opening up commissions again. Sorry for the price, it is based on needs. This also means that the HH video will be delayed. Thank you guys for your continued patience <3 RPG Portrait: $100 Full Body Flat Color: $300 send all inquiries to [email protected]

It's never too late....... scary frightening pokemon flash sheet I did for halloween 🎃 #tattoo #pokemon

As someone who spent 13 years homeless, this is a good list & I wanna expand on it: -Rice & beans are cheap & can make many meals -Preserved meats (hot dogs, kielbasa, spam) are extremely versatile -Kids LOVE receiving canned soups like Campbell's or Chef Boyardee -Ramen is cheap & wanted

“Oh poor people can buy popsicles with food stamps” shut the fuck up the government gives perverts a trillion dollars in government money each year for pervert factories for billionaires the fucking popsicles are none of your fuckin business

“The researchers aim to show that the ‘inevitability’ of AI is just a marketing frame perpetrated by the industry and that pushback is a lot more possible than we often see.” Yes!

With the Cheeto Benito is playing fuck around and find out with Thanksgiving across America, it's more important than ever to help people who would otherwise go hungry. The charity games I'm running are how I plan to make up for the loss of SNAP, as much as any one person can.

Fandom isn’t your job. Take a month off. Take 3 years off. Post incomplete fics. Post incomplete art. Never post again. Switch fandoms. Stay loyal to one fandom only. Do whatever tf you want. You literally make all the rules of engagement in this arena.

BRO WHAT

So apparently there was a Pomni costume on The Price is Right for Halloween, which blows my mind in another weird "full circle" kind of way; half the reason the Caine voice came to be is because I watched this show a lot when I was a toddler

Every year, all of the safety tips we see are aimed at trick-or-treaters behaving more safely around cars, and none of them seem to focus on how drivers should behave. What if we changed that messaging just a little? #halloween #halloween🎃 #halloweenparty #halloween2025
