the people at my job would rather use a complicated process of FOUR or FIVE different AI tools in a row to transcribe and then translate a subtitle file and then QA the result than just type out the damn thing by ear in an hour or two

there is still ONE (1) good digimon game

Netflix dropping another “food documentary” that’s just fearmongering about “ultra processed food” and “ingredients you can’t pronounce” and “chemicals” and seed oils I’m so sick of this right wing pipeline.

dear game devs: auto battle and speed up features in RPGs are awesome! but they should turn back off when you enter a boss battle so you don't spend a turn doing weak auto attacks before you can frantically turn it off again...especially a surprise one.

there's something so funny about the idea of someone grading a grease budget bluray collection

Your Canadian Girlfriend@yourcanadiangf.bsky.social · 2d ago

Why? Why must everything we enjoy be sealed up with a "grade"? I get baseball cards being put in plastic because you can still enjoy both sides of the card. But a Blu-ray?

there's people arguing about whether gay people travel a lot in my instagram replies and someone is dead set on "the gay people i know NEVER go on vacation" for some reason and like 17 replies deep it turns out she actively avoids people with disposable income and that may be why

this digimon game just used the phrase "just following orders"...

oh no the annoying digimon child is the chosen one

finding out that gay bathhouses aren't legal in a bunch of major US gay hubs is fucking wild to me I understand it based on my understanding of US politics and the history of homophobic moral panics but damn I never even considered y'all can't breed strangers in big steamroom labyrinths

i take back my defense of digimon designs the fuck is this masturbation fantasy for incels

what's the worst JRPG trope and why is it "friendly character mistakes you as an enemy and has a whole boss fight with you because they don't listen when you explain that you're on the same side"

omg i get it some of you don't like jrpgs you can just not play them

this is what ariana grande is going on hiatus to secretly do

which legendary actor was it who asked an infamous method menace "have you tried acting?" again

regular meghan 나영지 🇵🇸@ruemcclammyhand.bsky.social · yesterday

anya taylor-joy says women don't method act because we have things to take care of and can't lose our minds or be assholes

is digimon story time stranger a particularly good game? no. am i autistic and the numbers going up and the grinding levels tickles my brain just right so i am enjoying my time with it tremendously nonetheless? yes!

We got a preliminary date in November and are going soon to check out the venue and figure out the exact format of our event 🥺

Local library wants to work with us to do Queer gaming meetups there and even has some funding available to cover costs and for our work (which we'd probably donate to the renovations to make our usual space wheelchair accessible). 💖💖💖 Libraries 💖💖💖

taking bets right now whether this will be better or worse than the random minimal effort youtube vlog style drag race recaps on wow presents plus of which they seem to have approved exactly ONE creator to upload to their platform

Disney Plus will host ‘thoughtfully curated’ fan-made videos starting in the US. www.theverge.com/streaming/97...

it's really weird when people critique the character dialogue in fiction for grammatical errors because like...yeah...that's called characterization...people speak in all kinds of ways and not all of them are grammatically correct...the author...knows that...and chose to write this dialogue...

But whenever conservatives win on a narrow margin we’re supposed to read it as a huge mandate and a sign that everyone else needs to shift right.

Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted

the idea that "healthy" people should pay less for their health insurance is fucking insane because the whole point of health insurance is that the people who have more need for medical care have their costs covered by those who have less need for it and it all evens out the risks

Governments when someone is trans: “but are you sure you can make such an important decision by yourself? Let’s do years of medical reviews before you get access to anything 😌” Governments when someone wants to sign up to die in a war for oil: “step right up!! Sign up right now! DON’T wait!”

i keep giving straight guy youtubers/podcasters a chance and they keep proving why i shouldn't best case scenario they are boring voids lacking a personality, worst case scenario they suddenly start saying some nazi shit

the balancing in digimon story time stranger is INSANE. i am playing on "balanced" which i assume is supposed to be normal. i have a varied team. specced out. did some levelgrinding before... parrotmon is still wiping the FLOOR with me. chipping at that health bar while it does OHKOs.

this reminded me of y'all

i think it should be illegal to cut down a tree without planting 2 new ones for any reason

If you're part of the BioWare or Sims community and want to talk about how those studios' queer characters and themes have impacted you and your fears for those series moving forward after this sale, I'd love to chat with you for a Kotaku story. Can be reached here or email kshepard@kotaku.com

Well, I guess Electronic Arts belongs to Saudi Arabia, private equity, and Jared Kushner now. https://kotaku.com/electronic-arts-officially-belongs-saudi-arabia-jared-kushner-now-2000721666

digimon is high camp because they'll be like "here's a new digimon!" and it's just greymon but he's blue this time

I don't think Digimon designs are as bad as their reputation (a lot of them are overdesigned to hell and back...but a lot of them are also fierce) but jfc how do you have so many palette swaps in a series with so comparatively few actual mons "biggest roster ever" of 450 but is it really 450? 😭

am i gonna be stuck with aegiomon in my party the entire game i hate that little demon child he better digivolve into something less shit in the story at some point 😭
