Extremely telling that the game’s only criticism of me spin kicking the daylights out of the uber racist is that I looked like a ballerina while doing it.

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

The only praise I’ve personally encountered is vague since they don’t want to spoil anything. To be fair this is turning out to be a game where I’m better off not knowing anything before going in, but still.

I'm playing Disco Elysium right now and I would have gotten into this game so much sooner had literally anyone told me how goddamn funny the writing is.

Personally, I find free gacha currency to be a trap because it’s almost always just one failed trip to the slot machine and it’s as if you got nothing in the first place.

If anything, a gacha game that showers you in free stuff either has more malicious monetization practices than usual or are trying to boost player retention. Having modest or stingy rewards is a likely sign that the game’s finances are doing just fine.

Anything else I learn from this point onwards is against my will.

The extent of my knowledge about Pragmata weirdo discourse is how fast they were able to place the community tags “cute” and “funny” onto the Steam store page.

One of the more worrying results to come out of this is that anti-localization chuds have a new, naïve audience to feed auto-translated talking points towards. The usual FE:Fates and Maidragon images are being dragged out for show-and-tell.

I’ve clicked on too many posts on the For You page and the website has fed me a few Japanese Twitter users who equate piracy to sexual assault and murder.

Delicious, such new and improved ways to be mad on the internet.

Watching Twitter’s auto-translate awkwardly break down the J/E language barrier is so endlessly fascinating in the same way the babel fish was known to have caused more numerous and bloodier wars since its usage.

I have a modded 3ds and I STILL felt the pull towards higher fidelity.

Mine's coming next month.

I can see it being true in the narrow context of American Christianity though. The kind of hatred born from it is the primal, irrational hatred that feels good to those waiting for a good reason to hate, and is most definitely rooted in bigotry.

Dude probably goes into these interviews thinking they’ll put him on a pedestal when in reality he’s being put under a microscope.

It was an era where perceived decorum (being presidential) had a standard and was an important optic to consider in terms of electability. The 2016 election threw that out of the window when it showed that you can have the most rancid demeanor and still win.

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake By A Horse Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food. I am thinking I would like to try cake. Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape. Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy. Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much. I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on." Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me.

It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

why tf is it 63F in Florida of all places

I mean, the official title in English is literally Konosuba. Even the localization decided to do it that way.

I remember this weirdness all the way back when the anime first aired, and even further back when Boku Dake ga Inai Machi ended up being called Erased in the official localization.

It also came back recently with people consciously avoiding Delicious in Dungeon in favor of Dungeon Meshi.

Yeah as long as the place has water treatment infrastructure there’s very little risk of contamination.

Four frames comic about two types of Isekai I found and read lately. The first frame shows a young man with a sword. He says: "My name is Josh Itcantbehelped and I used to be a loser before a car crash brought me to a world where I am a god and half the population is made of SLAVE CATGIRLS". The second frame shows him crying and clenching his fist, with many a cat behind him, wearing bikinis. He says "To make it here I guess I have no choice but to own as many catgirls as I can...how tragic...". The third frame shows another character from another type of Isekai. She's a woman with a fluffy dress. She says "My name is Elise Robespierre and after being hit by a truck of terminal cancer I am now in my favorite 900 pages novel. With many a hot man.". The fourth frame shows her giving a board presentation to citizens, with graphs and pictures of plants on it. She says: "Hello citizens. This is my plan to modernize the agricultural system and prevent any further plague by creating medicine [...] taxes which ..." the text becomes unreadable as she keeps talking to her captive audience.

Been trying to read some isekai lately.

Amazing that non-rich conservatives essentially got everything they wanted and they’re still miserable and worse off.

Besides it’s not like Hololive members haven’t been complaining about the extremely Japanese corporate restrictions on their creative freedom, and any individual monetary troubles that come up always seem to stem from the way Hololive chooses to finance things rather than actively screwing them over

The only real lasting memories I have of playing X is a Team Flare post-game side quest and me spending needless amounts of money on the fashion.

Recent graduations don’t really tell a story about possible corruption. All the recent departures look legit if their success as indies is anything to go by.

The only one I was puzzled about was Fauna, but if you look at her current identity’s social media, yeah I’d say that’s a fair one too.

Today I watched Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend

The Discotek crew’s R18+ pseudonyms are incredible

I’ve been reading too many trashy light novels lately, it’s gotten to the point where I read phrases like “I wasn’t going to free a slave without her consent” and think oh cool that’s progress.
