Rewatching Hunter X Hunter and it's pretty remarkable how Togashi is able to make most of his characters feel like the main protagonist in their own story within a larger ever changing world.

The thing about Nintendo in relation to the rest of the industry is that their anti-consumer actions are all rooted in maintaining the company's overall health and not *just* maximizing profit. Their actions/blunders are usually at least understandable and rooted beyond simple monetary extraction

This is becoming our reality now...

yo ho 💀

“Laws are a threat made by the dominant socioeconomic ethnic group in a given nation. It’s just the promise of violence that’s enacted, and the police are basically an occupying army, you know what I mean?”

Bring back the double feature with Grave of the Fireflies, you cowards

Living their best life.

Anyone else prefer to pronounce the L in "salmonid" or am I just a weirdo #splatoon

I absolutely hate the endless refrain of "imagine how the media would have reacted if this happened under a Dem president" but... good god, y'all, can you even imagine?? How are dems so bad at cultural dogfights when their opponents don't know their ass from their elbow

Lol what are these spam texts 🤣

I wish we got more Hilda. She was like five years or so ahead of the goth baddie wave 😞

This has been such a clusterfuck of a gen for Sony and MS.

Technically, they’re Remains now.

*hugs 2023 PC tightly* I ain't ever letting you go, baby

I've come to realize that what actually works or fails doesn't matter if the ruling class gets what they want. Competence? Ethics? Truth? Irrelevant as long as the status quo remains intact.

I love Barret's politics in FF7Re, but I hate how he's portrayed as a dumb muscle head any other time he opens his mouth

Not sure what to ask for on my birthday. Thinking about maybe some books I've already read but don't own, but part of me feels like that's such a loser move

I spent the last few months talking to over 30 game developers about generative AI. It began as a sort of interview survey but became a pretty comprehensive collection of arguments against the technology altogether. www.gamesradar.com/games/why-so...

I'm convinced I died in 2016 and have spent the last decade reincarnated in the dumbest timeline

Fuck Microsoft.

I am at work with zero pizzas when I could be at home with > 1 pizza(s) this is bullshit

I'm enjoying Mina but some of the design choices are just punishing for no reason. This guide quest with Luxy is such a chore, and then the boss battle that follows is even more obnoxious by taking away all of your movement/dodge options AND throwing wind in there. WHY? HOW IS THIS FUN??

If Mjolnir was la chancla

It's the best part about weapon durability in BotW/TotK.

I just don't understand why placeholder assets need to be AI generated. It makes zero sense, and I've never seen anyone give a compelling rationale instead of giving the stock response that it'll be replaced eventuality. If that's the case, what's the fucking point??

BISEXUAL COLOR PALETTES IN MY FIRE EMBLEM??? *clutches pearls then explodes*

Surprised at how polarizing the direct seems to have been. I guess if you don't like jrpgs...

Biggest take away so far is that switch 2 games just look super nice. Not necessarily mind blowing but just really damn clean

Not sure if I'm sold on the xenoblade genesis character designs yet tbh but I'm excited to see more #nintendodirect

Did you know? Ninja gum has the properties of both ninjas and gum #nintendodirect

15 years after The Raid, Yayan Ruhian showing up in a movie still feels like a final boss jump scare

"Shes serving cunt" My Gynecologist: "id rather you didnt describe me that way"

Bill Gates is rolling in his grave 😔

lol

Did you know "leprechaunism" is an actual disease? I feel like that should be offensive to someone tbh

Summer Games Fest is just enshitified E3.

Gave the Costco combo calzone another shot and it's ok but it reaffirmed the undeniable truth that a calzone is not the equivalent of a pizza, don't @ me Ben Wyatt.

DCC has really grown on me as a series but the books are *aggressively* millennial-core to a hilarious degree

Tired. So very tired. For the first time, I think I'm feeling my age.

FINALLY. I used to pray for times like this

Just learned today my best friend has never seen mob psycho 100 and suddenly I feel like failed him.

Anyone who unironically refers to something as "based" deserves to be stoned to death by the community

I thought this would be the worst thing that happened to us this week but nope, turns out Carmen has cancer. My sweet angel. My lovely baby. My good old girl is dying.

Slugs killed my wife's flowers and made her cry. For this crime, all slugs must die. ALL MUST DIE.

I'd rather he ate shit

Damn.

Daaaaaamn
