Some of that might be due to low scan quality, especially on older series like Berserk. I would suggest watching some of Naoki Urasawa's Manben to see artists actually drawing it.

Link to the video. If you wondered why the character models looked so awful this may be one reason why.

TL;DW:

  1. Star Wars Outlaws was being discussed internally as "Red Dead Star Wars"

  2. Assassin's Creed Shadows preorders are 7% compared to Valhalla's in the same week to week leadup.

  3. Skull and Bones was the start of Ubisoft's downfall. It cost roughly $650-$800 million to make.

  4. The main reason why Yasuke was chosen as the male lead in Ass Creed Shadows was because of BLM.

  5. Despite what they say about downplaying agenda, they will be pushing it further

  6. Next Assassins Creed was supposed to be "Hexe" and a very gay feminist witch game, which is likely being reduced to a spinoff or canceled

There is also this video who also has an interview with a Ubisoft employee.

Here is a tweet with the video in case the link doesn't work. I know there was another post about this, but this one has the video of the interview.

Going to Shinto shrines in Japan is like Christmas in America, even if you're not significantly Christian you might still have a Christmas tree and give gifts on the day.

Also we know that America is trying to strongarm Japan into fag marriage stuff. The people in power are figureheads expected to bow down to behind the scenes power.

This is one thing I was concerned over with Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, but I'm really glad they had her use magic and even when she attacks she has to possess/transform into Link. It's thankfully not a "girlboss" game at all.

Especially with AI becoming more useful. I think they found that most school papers pass as AI either because many were the training data for the AIs in the first place, or they all just have the same kind of tone and phrasing to them.

Yeah and Hyenas was at least $80 million and it was canceled before it even launched, they said it was Sega's most expensive game yet. I can only imagine how many additional projects are going to get shelved early due to this.

Basically. They are cute girls, usually with social awkwardness or mental issues, where they don't act like vapid attention seeking whores. Of course girls like that became vtubers too after it was huge, but they still plaster their face and tits on social media. Most of the big ones, JP, and corporate, still act true to being "anime girls in real life" and succeed because of it.

I assume Nintendo will either drop it or lose the case. Even in Japan with really strict laws on that kind of stuff, they have let so many other games get a pass with even more egregious examples of copying Pokemon, such as Temtem. The only reason that Palworld was a target was because of how popular it became.

Yeah that's one reason Twitch doesn't ban channels that get botted. They don't know who is actually paying for the bots, the streamer themselves or somebody who hates them and wants them to get into a botting controversy.

For instance the people botting discourse on Twitter don't always bot their own accounts, they bot random people ideologically aligned with them. It makes them think the support is organic and double down.

Normies see the benefits of supporting the prevailing ideology, all they see is the rewards and incentives and they assume everybody who isn't taking the free money/attention is an idiot who doesn't understand how it works.

Yep, this just means less original IPs and especially less live service games with disgusting designs. They will just turn beloved characters into abominations instead and say "It's canon!" or if they were more competent try to hide it under the surface.

Yep, Forspoken, Hyenas, Concord, Suicide Squad, etc, all were heavily pushing leftist politics and were subsequently ignored by the vast majority of the gaming audience.

Reading Mein Kampf is one thing that really started waking me up. I read it on a whim thinking "If they're slandering Trump this much, I may as well read it with an open mind" and ended up surprised with how much I agreed with. Especially when he talks about the news and journalists. It does get bogged down in the specific and detailed politics of Germany at the time, which is understandable.

The solution to that is to regulate the cleanliness of places like India and China, considering that most of the pollution comes from there, which of course they would never do since it doesn't result in hurting white people.

Which is why in recent years they've been focusing less on CO2 and more on Nitrogen, specifically from farming. This is what the Dutch farmer protests were all about.

All logitech mice I bought started failing after a year or two and would randomly double click afterwards. After that I bought a steelseries mouse and it works great.

I only watched some of the anime and felt like there was tons of information being condensed down, I'm sure that the novels do plenty of work elaborating on things. It's definitely worth a shot to check out. If you can find a download of them I'd say it's worth checking out, you should be able to find them on nyaa.

The fediverse is the best alternative to twitter. I would suggest using poa.st. You can freely say what you want there, but the issue with fediverse instances is that you're at the whim of the admin and mods (like basically anywhere on the internet). One thing that should help fix this is a project called Revolver being developed by the admin of FreeSpeechExtremist. It's supposed to launch before the end of the year and be a decentralized version of the fediverse (like twitter) where you don't need to worry about pissing off the admins and instantly getting banned. We'll see about how well it actually operates though.

They really should make a single player focused Civ game, but I have zero expectations that they would be able to do it well. An indie developer might be able to pull it off though.

Yeah the only use they really have now is letting you know about new games. Just getting some gameplay is better than any review or editorial really.

You can get an invite by asking in the megathread on the subreddit. I just got in after asking yesterday.

Monopoly Go is actually just gambling from what I've heard. You literally just roll the dice.

You can always tell when girls like that are lying or acting. They sound so much more stilted, just check them doing ad reads or promotional streams. Normally at most they speak with a bit more energy than they usually do, but that's to be expected when you're trying to entertain thousands of people.

Many of them are awkward or shy, which helps that they can use a virtual avatar instead of their actual faces.

Yeah clips of the JP vtubers are the best.
