150 games for $10 for an excellent cause, and honestly worth it for They Bleed Pixels alone, one of my favorite combat platformers

Fun fact: in NZ we don't call them thrift stores, we call them "Op Shops" or Opportunity shops, which I think works better because I dont usually feel that thrifty after leaving one 😆

Shoutout to my auntie for pulling off the most Power Lesbian Girlboss look in the 80s despite being straight 😆

something horrifying has come to me in a vision

Spider-man: Brand New Day was definitely good! I feel like it was a little disjointed and lacked focus, to the point it often didnt feel like a Spider-man movie. But it definitely stuck the landing and had great themes and heart! Definitely recommend on a big screen if you have basic MCU literacy 👍

This is a bad look, but also a good sign. The fact that he is actually owning it as a loss, saying it is not healthy and a very bad thing and treating it like an addiction is the right framing, hopefully leading to normalizing how insidious GenAI / LLMs are. I wish him the best in his recovery.

Beast Of Reincarnation is coming soon (my birthday, actually!) and I'm still torn between "So cool that Game Freak is trying out other properties" and "OH SO YOU *CAN* DO CURRENT GEN GRAPHICS, GAME FREAK?" 😆

I am aware Apple is being extremely greedy and that is awful. But also, Patreon makes LOTS of money. It would be unfair & annoying, but they still could afford to keep allowing us to charge per post. It wouldn't bankrupt them. But they won't. Because line must go up. "Creator first". What a joke

I'm begging you not to use apple products. This shit is devastating to creators like me

The big question is which subtitles are they using? The platinum ones, the controversial Netflix ones or a new translation? DOES KAWORU LIKE HIM OR LOVE HIM, CRITERION?

My call for what techbros will desperately latch onto after the AI bubble is Gattaca Style designer babies. "Ok so AGI was further away than we thought, but now you can craft a bespoke, organic intelligence using our Heir-Apparent Gene-tech! Now with Rapid-aging enzymes!"

LinkedIn added an "AI slop" button. The U-Turn is happening, expect to see a lot more of this from other tech companies.

"Man, I feel bad for Akira Yamaoka. He did the Silent Hill games but after that he just did some mid horror projects, he really deserves better- HE DID THE SOUNDTRACK FOR CYBERPUNK EDGERUNNERS? NEVER MIND GOOD FOR HIM"

Has anyone big made the connection "Other Nikki from Obsession = A.I Girlfriend"? From what I've seen, I'm surprised it's not a more common take

Its so weird me that the "manosphere" sitting position is the same one I genuinely got teased for using in middle school for looking too girly 😆

Not a fan of how much modern 40k stuff skims over the satire and instead makes it "300 but in space with a couple audiologs saying it sucks actually"... But having a horror director known for tackling institutional violence is a good first step, I'll admit 👍

Is the general fan consensus that Silent Hill f is officially worthy of standing with the first 4? Cos I'm not too far in and already the music, design, feel and themes are already just another level from the Western Trilogy 😅

Sometimes I'm like "arkham knight and rdr2 are pretty much my sweet spot for photorealism, games really dont need to aim higher and its hurting the industry that they are" & I still think that... But then I'm like "Holy Crap how does Silent Hill f have the best hair graphics in human history?" 😆

Excuse me?

Final Fantasy is somehow still the gold standard for Gets worse after 20 hours (affectionate) - 7 Gets worse after 20 hours (derogatory) - 8, 15 Gets better after 20 hours (affectionate) - 14 Gets better after 20 hours (derogatory) - 13

It took me getting through, like, a little over halfway through Shadowbringers before it finally felt like the story FFXIV was crafting finally all started coming together and making sense.

Wild that there are two places named "Finland" and neither one pronounces it the way people who live outside it do 😆

I know, I KNOW that the Enterprise canonically has bathrooms, but still like my headcanon that humanity advanced nutrition tech so much that any food made by a replicator is so healthy that ZERO waste is produced 😆

Me: What if I'm not really autistic Mutual: Haha remember those silly anime ads saying "THIS AINT NO MICKEY MOUSE"? Me: Yeah, & that's double funny because Osamu Tezuka, the "god of manga" was mostly inspired by DONALD DUCK comics! Specifically those drawn by Carl Barks, he even has a letter from-

When I attended my very first anime convention at 16, when I saw that this many people really didnt think I was weird, & would actually want to talk about the thing I like without hesitation, I was so overwhelmed with joy I had to sit down. Life changing.

OK, we've had the talk about bullying and the discourse that's been bubbling today. Let's do something positive: What as your coolest, most favorite experience as an anime fan? Doesn't have to be anything special, just has to be something that you remember fondly.

There are exceptions but anime (and Japanese game) interviews have always been so trite, fluffy and circular it might as well be Chat GPT 😩 I get WHY, due to the respectability culture, but its a nightmare for people actually wanting to know more about the process 😥
