Finally, a clear repudiation of the brain-dead “it’s just a tool” argument that gets floated cynically about every new technology:

One of the many sources cited in the new papal encyclical is... Gandalf

made another for this week's umineko stream

Yusuke Murata's brain got cooked by the conspiracy theory slop algorithim. Sad to see

Already seeing people saying they never liked Murata or that he's not that great of an artist to begin with and, no, guys, that's not the way to approach this. Especially if you are an adult. And saying that "he has lost his mind" isn't right either. He probably always thought this. Sucks, yeah

the plight of the postmodern succubus

it must be so heart-breaking to make all this cool artwork for a game, and then they slap some dabadee-dabadi mfs on the cover because it's 2005 and the last thing anyone wants to do is look like a japanimation.

And last but certainly not least Announcement #3: Umineko: When They Cry - Saku Umineko: When They Cry - Saku features three fan disks for the original Umineko series, all in one convenient package coming to MangaGamer.com and Steam! mangagamer.org/uminekosaku

Saint Seiya Heaven Overture fucking rules. Imagine if when Toriyama came back from retirement to do Battle of Gods, Toei just rejected his outline and made an arthouse movie where Goku contemplates existence and mortality and Beerus is this ethereal being that only shows up for 5 minutes at the end.

This week's Iruma-kun episode was genuinely one of the best anime episodes I've ever seen in my life. The kind of adaptation that really transcends the source material and does something that's only possible in animation.

NINTENDO HIRED THIS MAN

This kind of mixed use urban planning is illegal in America

"Why do you like this game?" Me:

This is the funniest reason for a character in a romance game to be non-romanceable

The Imu situation is why you shouldn't try to hide a character's appearance for a literal decade, because the reveal can never match up to expectations

Only thing I'll say about the Harry Potter "Show", it's incredible how much worse lighting in movies and TV shows has become over the years. Saw this side by side and nearly lost my mind. The kids in the new version don't even look like they're standing in a real environment. It looks AI generated!

YIIK: A Postmodern RPG (PS4/Switch) up for preorder on LRG buff.ly/y1NAHjr #ad

This is so true

You really wouldn't know it's Himeno just from looking at her. Anyway, I'll draw some more soon!

He's so right

This article is a fucking masterpiece

For @remapradio.bsky.social, I wrote about the worldbuilding business, and the apparently irreconcilable lore of Bethesda's ELDER SCROLLS games. This is about people who love lore, people who make it, people who break it, and those who do all three. remapradio.com/articles/who...

Check out this very interesting (and I suspect divisive!) article on the creation of TES lore. It asks the fundamental question: should lore have one definitive canon? Featuring interviews with many devs, as well as fans like me. remapradio.com/articles/who...

Had a dream where I was picked up by a tornado in my car and deposited on an alien planet, and immediately upon reaching alien civilization realized it was an advertisement, somehow, for high on life 2 and got so incensed I instantly woke up

Someone gave a copy of Umineko to the Pope

The whole point of defending the right for uncomfortable, or even reprehensible fiction to have the right to exist isnt that its all cool and nothing is ever wrong with it Its that government/corpo organizations will NEVER look at things with the """nuance""" you think is so self evident

if you're having a nice weekend please consider that it might be because you have the favor of the golden witch, beatrice

man I’m sorry but if this is the actual ending of Chainsaw Man then Fujimoto‘s kinda washed

Anyways.

[update] Resolved: The fix we applied 24 hours ago appears to be holding, so we are resolving this incident. We thank everyone for their patience!

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

hey want a laugh? the david cage service game launches in six days

They're remaking you for a modern audience. Yeah, sorry man. They're giving you a hyper realistic art style with no reverence for how your original color grading or art design looked. Your boss fights have new shitty mechanics and they redid all of your iconic voice acting. Your studio got laid off

Redditors and YouTubers made fun of pure fantasy words like Fal'Cie so much that now everything in games is named shit like The Beforers and The Big Evil

they should have all the edgy shit because that is the identity of those games. But they won't, because Sony are a bunch of bitch ass cowards that will under no circumstances ship something where the protagonist is just a wildly unlikable asshole (deliberately, anyway)

"I don't get as much engagement here as on twitter" that's all fake bud. sorry. twitter is so fake at this point it's asinine people even pretend it isn't. Before late 2024 the biggest posts on the site got like 10k retweets, now every other post about hating women gets 250k and 7m likes. not real.

ITS BEEN 87 YEARS

the epstein files make it abundantly clear that individuals having this degree of wealth is directly the cause of every horrible thing in the world, and any coherent vision of a better future cannot involve billionaires existing. They have to go, be it taxed out of existence or otherwise removed.

all i want to do online is play video games, talk to my friends, and look at girls boobs and every fucking day some freak i've never met decides to make it harder and harder to do that

the entire fucking campaign to smear trans people as predators that's made our lives a living hell for years and has killed thousands of us and sparked an ongoing attempted genocide is because of an elite billionaire pedophile cabal who didn't want to pay taxes, i'm crashing the fuck out right now

First teaser for "The Ghost In The Shell" anime series by Science Saru studio. Directed by Mokochan (+ Shuhei Handa on character designs & animation). Coming in July. Full official video >> www.catsuka.com/news/2026-01...

I did not know that did that to her after she goes bleh. that’s interesting

Was watching the newest episode of Mato Seihei no Slave (An Ecchi Battle Harem Anime) and out of nowhere I get hit with a Hillary Clinton Jumpscare

ABSOLUTE woke victory
