Rolling out the Matt Christman quote from after Charlottesville (2017) again:

おはようございます。だいぶ寒くなってきましたね〜🥶 #今日の過去絵

i think dispatch is a good game but it is another unfortunate contender in the "oh so it's ok for american eroge to be streamed on twitch, but if it's from Asia that's bad" war

なんか急に寒い〜！ #今日のらくがき

sometimes i think about how pleasant playing lots of retro/indie games would be, and despite this, i almost never actually pick one up with any given unit of free time. i realized recently that the fantasy is alluring mostly because it presupposes i have much more free time than i do

the pope agrees that frictionless isekai is too common now and you need some rent-lowering classics like oreimo or made in abyss to really carry the medium

tetsuya mizuguchi truly, earnestly believes, with his whole heart and whole mind, that generic vocal trance from 2003 has the power to awaken humanity's shared consciousness and guide us to universal peace. The strength of his conviction is so powerful that it might actually cause this to be true

whenever i pick up my phone to walk to the kitchen i think of the post like "we're just going to the 7-11 why do you need to smoke weed?" like yeah i probably won't need my phone in the next 30 seconds but what if it takes 40 seconds

さむい

There are Chobits everywhere for those with eyes to see

i've really enjoyed the noclip2 channel because it has essentially recreated old gb quicklooks. sitting with an indie game for 40 minutes, one guy has played some of it and is showing the other guy coming to it fresh, for games that i would have never heard about otherwise

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back! Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary. Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest! #MundaneHalloween

kawaiikochan.tumblr.com/post/7988748... Hi, it's Kawaiikochans. "Nani? Kawaiikochans after such a time?" you're asking. Touzen, buddy. The major cultural event "Horse Daughters: Umamusume: Pretty Derby"... we can't ignore such a thing as this.

As I've been saying: real money to random reward pipelines should always be classified as gambling. Doesn't matter if we're talking digital or physical, it should be considered gambling and heavily regulated accordingly. Can't sell for anyone under 18, can't be advertised in most places, etc.

New article on ★ daiz.moe ★ Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason daiz.moe/crunchyroll-... A ton of research and effort went into this one. This is the article to read to get to the bottom of Crunchyroll's subtitle changes! Replies here will show up as comments (eventually)

you should really learn japanese

Extremely funny to see that Reze Arc's first negative critic review is the NYT being *so* close to getting it.

In areas with increased SNAP take-up rates, grocery prices increased *less*

this is inscribed on the first page of the anarchist's cookbook

SHAFT's 50th anniversary event full key visual was finally revealed!!! It's amazing!

video games have 3 prices: $20, $70, and $1000. the $1000 games are free, expensive, and have even greater costs not denominated in money

a live demonstration of how llms are making truth much harder to find: search for something like "nasa confirms two moons" and look how many articles just state that this confirmation happened, sometimes linking another article saying it. it didn't happen!

kirino kousaka is in the dsa now after going to an offline meet with a swirly-glasses socialist girl she met on rizon irc

really really good anthropological exploration of akihabara's history. i had a general sense of "it used to be the computer zone, it became the anime zone, then corpos moved in and ruined it" and that's not wrong exactly but there is so, so much detail and competing pressures i had no idea about

everyone quotes the part of ur-fascism about saying your enemy is both strong and weak, but i read it recently and found this part striking. especially now, as the american people are out at these massive protests while, simultaneously, the regime says they are doing what "The American People" want

i have a vivid memory of reading sankara's wikipedia article and going "wow all this stuff sounds amazing" and then getting to the part where the cia helped a coup that killed him and realizing "oh this is going to be at the bottom of every article of this kind of guy i ever read"

he replied to a daily beast article headlined "White People Aren’t as Racist or Stupid as Trump Thinks" with "Living in white rural America, I’m afraid to tell you they actually are." which seems to be pretty misrepresented by the headline here

New teaser for "Milky☆Subway: The Galactic Limited Express" anime series by @yostarhey.bsky.social (based on his indie short film). Coming in July (TV & streaming). milkygalacticuniverse.com

yall have to hop on milky subway. it's 3.5 min eps, ~45 minutes total, and has better character writing and comedy than most full series. jp audio en subs is really fast paced but worth it imo

Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.

imagining a world where Bourgeoisie is treated like it's a group with leaders, card-carrying members, and shadowy funding. we arrested the girlfriend of the founder of Bourgeoisie and we're tracking planned austerity attacks on our cities

reconstruction assassin's creed would have been so cool

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke www.gamefile.news/p/scoop-ubis...
