Happy Monday. A Gogg Tracer to power the week.

this is the avengers for several people you know on here (glowing praise)

come on man.

I had just about convinced myself the Yamada #gunpla display bases only hit Asian Daiso locations and I should stop hoping to see them here.

Only to walk into Daiso to find THESE next to 2 very empty hangers. :/

If you startle me I'll make your face HORT
When I ball y'all know what they call me on the COURT:

because CD players, walkmans, and VCRs usually fucking worked and did precisely what was asked of them without relogging in and syncing and re-entering passwords and getting confirmation codes and doing 2FA with out TV and phone and clicking a fake "remember me" box that's fucking why

dawg look at my goalkeeper we're not getting past the group stages

Glad the annoying kid nobody ever wanted to invite back after he kept going "erm in real fights they don't throw fireballs" got to write his street fighter movie

Remember when they removed the headphone jack from the GBA SP?

Still mad about it.

Harry Ord’s amazing trick

A thing about Eka and Outerloop is whenever you talk to him, you absolutely can feel how deeply passionate he is about games, food, etc. Like you hear the term "infectious enthusiasm" but you don't really have a good sense of it until you talk to Eka, and it absolutely comes through in the games.

he had one of those little plastic fan attachments on his phone and every time he'd shift angrily it'd catch on his arm and he'd just get more agitated.

old guy sitting next to me at the doctor's this morning spent the whole time glaring at his phone and incessantly muttering "an insult to God...fuckin' sonuvabitch...Trump ain't Jesus..." and several variations thereof, in the thickest Jersey accent you've heard outside a Sopranos episode.

Remember all those Street Fighter history stories I did awhile back? Here's a new one.

WIT Studio Apologizes for Using Generative AI in Opening Sequence of Ascendance of a Bookworm Part 3 Anime Studio will redraw cuts, replace opening sequence with "completed version" starting with 2nd episode

Oh yeah, they’re scared out of their WITs.

Like why would you even bother to mention “cutting-edge technology” unless that’s what you’re going for.

But the best case scenario I guess is it comes out late and looks kosher.

My unsubstantiated conspiracy theory is they really tried to incorporate some GenAI use into the production cycle, but quality concerns and internal pushback has trapped them into having to having to start over halfway through and make a normal ass anime over the last two years.

Correction: a far more severe version of that crime!

An extremely funny thing about retro rereleases that use unlicensed emulators is that you are basically committing the exact same crime (using software outside of the terms of its license) that has you so scared of downloading roms in the first place but now someone has monetized it.
