The game is only like 10 hours long btw. It's okay to have AAA games be that length.

With the recent Shogakukan scandal, we need to be clear that Shogakukan is a *big* player in Japanese publishing as a whole and has its fingers in quite a few pies. Viz Media in the US and Europe is mostly-owned by them. They also produce anime like Pokemon through their ShoPro division.

It’s actually so damn bad right now in Japan. Shonen Jump readership was at -90%- among Junior High students in 1989. In 2019? A pitiful 10%. I honestly don’t even know what can be done to revitalize things.

i hope everyone stay safe and angry at the united states.

Not lost on me that a lot of people straight up don't know what the phrase "dark money" means

Have come across people who think it's antisemitic to say that AIPAC uses dark money to intervene in Democratic primaries but, like, that's definitionally what it is when you funnel non-disclosed donor money via a shell group.

If anyone wants to help me stay afloat, and afford meds, and food, I have a ko-fi.com/snazzypumpkin As well as a paytreon in my bio with all my nsfw loaded in. Ty for your support while I figure things out

Can’t make new things can’t remake old things, just close man

No company can do anything anymore

hard to overstate how hard western licensors fucked up the anime and manga market fixating on shonen so hard studios will do a fucking Lv 9999 Gacha adaptation before any other demographic

90% of my 160-person PSN friends list has their last online status as “over a year ago.” Gaming on Playstation consoles used to have such a community element to them man… Got me feeling like

I got to take a break from reading artbooks from dead series/IP, this shit is kinda damaging to my mental health

We’re barely a week into 2026 and I’ve seen a greater amount of mass psychosis in that timespan than I did in most months of 2025.

It feels genuinely corrosive to the spirit to read twitter now. Like goddamn that website just makes me miserable.

Entire internet gives me the feeling of TV when nothings on now

oh… ok

sometimes it pays to be a kid … or a grown man controlling a little cat dude #ff7rebirth

I'd rather these executives just give me the finger and call everyone consumerist whores than pretend they can epic wordsmithery their way to their shit being accepted

I can't believe people who have only ever known rent seeking bullshit tech want tech that doesn't do that and, broadly, works

the year is 2025. every single game is a third-person action rpg where overworld navigation has you mantling over small ledges and holding RT to force open doors before squeezing through a crack in the wall into a real-time cooldown-based combat system where you perfect guard to fill a stagger gauge

ghibli needs to sue basically everyone under the sun

we used the ghibli ai slop machine to make art for our war game funded and directed by the US State Department

it's deeply insane to me that both the UK and US are implementing brutal austerity while -also- doing the most insufferable nanny state bullshit ever. Bread and Circuses? Eh, we don't need either of those things.

"Heh, wonder what all those CHUDS think about this" they say, smirking. The camera pulls out revealing a padded cell and a straight jacket

allowing myself one vaguepost to say that none of those dumb rightwing guys you're countersignalling are even on this site. You don't have to do that. I thought you came here to get away from them but seems like all you do is obsess over them.

every lever of capitalism is now inhabited by an utter moron who doesn't understand people have to be able to buy your thing to buy your thing

VtMB2 feels like the logical endpoint to an industry full of executives that think projects succeed or fail entirely on nostalgia

I keep trying to go back & finish Granblue Relink’s postgame content, and every time I get bored after a few hours because of how middling its roster is. 20 characters & they really put in: - 2 Society members - All 4 of the Dragon Knight - 13 characters already in Versus (1/5)

these two popping up in the same day is like man they're OUT out huh

Genuinely criminal that Microsoft/Xbox was allowed to buy up a sizeable chunk of the Western gaming industry, only for them to reach this fate.

Actually wild how much Nikke cooked with Crown’s design

They shut down animation studios en masse and the ones that are still around get the opportunity to work on irony poisoned stuff like this

They fired everyone to replace them with ai to make a dogass fuckawful anime about a meme from a decade ago Duolingo is doing just great y'all

Read tgis at 7:23am and it ruined my day

So much of current gaming business practices really just feels like “this will lose you money, unless you’re Nintendo.”

Heartwarming: This gaming company still loses money on mobile spin-offs the old-fashioned way.

It was nice back when companies decided to do a spin off and made a game instead of a gambling app
