Filipino slumming it in the USA. Live heroically and with style. I edit manga now. Worked at Sega/Atlus localization for 15 minutes, previously Flavor Flav's website guy, wrote a bunch for a clickbait mill He/Him Lvl 162 HUmar

RightStuf ruled so much and it sucks for the entire anime and manga industry that they got replaced by this weird, subscription-gated shop that seems more interested in selling overpriced, wannabe-hypebeast shirts to LARPers over serving the audience that their business was originally built on

🚨BREAKING🚨 Crunchyroll has completely delisted/removed all Manga, Light Novels, Manhwa, & Danmei from their website following their store refresh that went live today As of reporting, it's unknown if CR will bring these back or not

INCOMING THE MEDIAOCD STORE! We have no exclusive drops of overpriced random crap. Just lots of anime Blu-rays & more things you actually might want. On top of discs from multiple companies did you know we have anime board games? mediaocd.com

This is one of the worst clickbait headlines I’ve ever seen. The answer, in case you’re wondering, is that, because it is only on Switch 2, OG Switch owners can’t play it

I can't imagine being one of those "all modern music/movies/books/games are bad" people. I don't want to be around those people. There's too much beauty out there.

Warren Spector speaking some truths here. They were quite happy to rerelease the game and make more money off it recently. Some wider acknowledgement of Epic Mickey's contribution to Disney history is deserved.

I've been working on this for over a year: I'm remaking all of Ocarina of Time's prerenders in 3D, trying to match the N64 style rather than the 3DS one. The provisional name is OoT unJPEG. It will be distributed as both a romhack that runs on real N64 hardware and a mod for Zelda 64 Recompiled.

Every few years they try to push "conservatism is the new punk rock" and only op-ed columnists buy into it while everyone else very quickly realizes that crowd is just a bunch of Z-list Hollywood has-beens and ragebait grifters who think oppression is when an anime girl puts pants on

Man remember when people in various media outlets were insisting that “dimes square” was real and an influential art scene and insisting there was a hip happening and growing movement of right wing contrarian artists and thinkers poof all gone all fake and the people pushing it silently moved on

Much agreed. And it feels to me similar to the "school never taught me anything useful" people. The ignorant and incurious thinking that because they can't see the point one does not exist. We can talk about how and why you missed the lesson... but sometimes the lesson was there.

You played the recorder in part to strengthen your fine motor skills and in part to introduce you to basic music theory concepts like rhythm, the C-major scale, and reading basic music notes. Your teachers wanted to make elementary music education available to all, not just the rich.

Threads post "And then for no reason, no reason at all, they made us all learn how to play the recorder"

I just spent the entire day finally getting this thing out of my drafts. This is for everyone who stuck it out for me, but also everyone who enjoyed seeing me fall down the Phantasy Star Online rabbit hole for the past two years. Please enjoy!

Classic Phantasy Star Enjoyer Finally Played Phantasy Star Online on Dreamcast, Excited to Grind for Years - Amethyst Reverie

Somehow, in all those years, not once was I privy to the fact Phantasy Star Online could be played entirely Phantasy Star Offline.

Finally saw the Spider-Man and it was good. The other MCU Spider-Men always sort of felt like the Spider-Man line of sidequests in an Avengers game, but this was a Spider-Man ass Spider-Man movie, despite still having many major connections to the wider universe it's in.

Sora in Smash Bros.: It was so hard to license with all the parties involved and Disney made sure we worked extra hard to portray him accurately Sora in Fortnite: So here he is with an AK-47 as he teabags Naruto

Forgot for a sec that Fox-verse Prof. X, Magneto, Cyclops etc. are in Doomsday and I'm looking forward to the fifth "final" entry in that timeline Middle-aged/miserable now and that series has been ending since I was in high school

Once again stressed out and working until 1AM, but at least I got my order for the MG Patlabor reprint and the weirdest of GQuuuuuuX weirdos in. Soon I can lose myself in the simple joy of snipping and sanding plastic
