the main villain of the second half of layzner, le caine, goes around doing mass purges and book burning of earth literature. at one point he gets incensed at a sci-fi book and tosses it aside to reveal... bender??

Panel research turning up some real gems.

Pal demo/prototype of FFX dumped today and I love the menu and thank you for playing screens I live for this shit

this happened 14 minutes ago but unfortunately due to my personality "Proplem in elvator" has immediately become a load-bearing part of my vocabulary

i think we don't talk about how there's a dummy balloon for everything in uc gundam. asteroids, mobile suits, battleships

genuinely think MMOs lost sight somewhere along the road of the ways that multiplayer in a shared, persistent world can be a wonder and not just a rote feature of the form

FFXI is the goat because I died right before the final checkpoint of the final dungeon and Ava made it tot hr checkpoint and went back to town to recruit a white mage to raise me... multiplayer is awesome

for all your relink infinity groups who also play ffxiv

Anyway, I was considering writing something longer about how conflicted I feel when I remember that Dendoh's director made this series that I like quite a bit, before immediately making two more Sunrise robot anime I don't really care for, and then just made this instead.

ok but what if this single screen was 45 minutes long and looked like this

I don't recall French Bread ever needing to fire their entire dev team after launching a game but I guess you can make fun of them, Riot.

what do you mean the 2XKO devs dropped an entire blog post seething that people think their game's name sucks and they take pot shots at Under Night in it. that's hilarious

its 2026 and girls still just want to Bless, Cheer, Soul and get paid

I swear this was funny in my head.

FIFA is short for Final Fantasy

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

mucho texto i know but i wanted to write a lil thing about how u can treat yourself nice!!

frame-by-framing char's counterattack and i think my favourite moment has to be when char bullishly goes 'don't interfere in a battle between MEN!' and a moment later missing the nu looming menacingly behind him double hammerfisting him so hard the sazabi falls apart like cheap gunpla

Space Jam mashups still being made is like the ytp equivalent of the Costco hotdog still being $1.50

“It is so demoralizing,” Zahra said. “As an Arab fan, I do not feel like my voice and people are at all valued in comic books spaces. How can I? Someone whose career was spent murdering my people and justifying our mass murders is praised constantly.”

I can't find a source for this off-hand, but in terms of his bona fides, I believe he's done E>J translation work professionally and he's perfectly conversant IIRC, so I'm personally not worried about AI usage, especially since it's meant to be reference material for a proper J>E translation later.

Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer (2002) how the did they get the water to look like that, this is incredible I don't mean the reflections, look at the shape of the wave as it moves, the lighting, the glow.. This and the game loop are **amazing** and needs to be studied This is lost technology oh my god
