Yeah a small period like that is fine. Most of the money is made during that period anyways. Being able to buy the copyright for something with none of the original creators involved is very nonsensical.

AI art is basically the same as 3D art. You can use premade models by other people and edit it to be however you want. You can look at Getting Over It and Only Up, both games made with asset store stuff but very different quality.

That being said, copyright is garbage anyways. People went thousands of years with their folk stories being told and retold, imagine how many would have been cut short because somebody "owned" that story.

I'm assuming it's the time between those dates. I also would not be surprised if they're keeping the % high early so people see the dollar signs and then drop it down low later.

"Republicans" as in they support israel?

Yeah it can be good in isolation, but the format of short 5-10 second clips with automatic algorithmic feeds is horrible. I suggest getting the "blocktube" extension to block shorts on youtube from showing up at all.

Trigger warnings were actually first used by groups of people with Dissociative Identity Disorder to prevent them from "triggering" their condition. It's just that it got picked up by mental illness tumblr and they used it for attention.

Paper Mario (and TTYD) both had really good characterization. The Peach interludes between chapters are great. It's a shame what happened to the series.

Like all actors they are prostitutes, they can give you a good time but don't expect them to be good people.

Yeah but recently they've been getting so much worse. It's like the "calarts" design but for monsters. The original pokemon you could imagine were real creatures, albeit fantastical, the new ones are just lanky mono-colored blobs. The NPC trainer and gym leader designs are even worse.

I think the creator Warren Ellis is British but he has various "sexual coercion allegations" and wrote for Marvel comics, so he's just a beta soyboy. At least he's very spiritually jewish if not ethnically.

Yeah the identifying as a helicopter is less outrageous than what many mentally ill girls on tumblr were doing at the time. At least physically a helicopter can be an extension of who you are, instead of "identifying" as a star, fairy, or group of fictional characters.

This is also the reason they push "Latinx" too, it's an attempt at complete destruction of the romance languages. Being gendered is inherent to their existence, and removing that basically undermines them entirely.

I highly suggest people check out Websters first 1828 dictionary to compare how definitions have changed in 200 years.

Yeah boys don't read much anymore. If you look at Japanese light novels and manga that's basically all they are. Isekai, adventure, etc. So there's definitely demand, but I doubt any publisher would want to put out something like that from a western author.

He released a thing on patreon 2 days ago that says he has 9 upcoming videos, so I guess so. On their twitter, which gets like 10 retweets, it says they're pausing stuff in solidarity with the writer/actor strikes which is hilarious.

Her original videos were probably botted. If you remember Jonathan McIntosh, his channel Pop Culture Detective gets 1 million views on their "actual" videos and 12k views on their podcasts. His patreon has about 2k members despite barely putting out any content.

They probably toned down the Baron because he's the only homosexual depiction in it. I will never forgive them for ruining Kynes character, and putting somebody so ugly as Chani.

In that regard, it is.

I like One Punch Man as a subversion/deconstruction of superhero stories. Even shounen to some degree. Usually the story is about encountering a tough enemy, training up, and then defeating them. Being able to one shot anybody like having infinite damage in a video game can get boring after a while.

That's when they import people to fill them up, who instantly start neglecting them and the people around them, so society falls apart. America is going to look like South Africa more and more as time goes on.

Most of the people here (myself included) have probably been atheists in our youth. Many people just follow it because it's their rebellious phase and they want to reject their parents forcing things on them. That's what became Atheism+ on reddit and we know how that turned out.

It's less that I found religion, and more that I realized that atheism is a sham meant to divide and conquer. And the modern church (and especially the current pope) is nothing like the traditional church of 100 and more years ago.

So if you can't trust the church, and you don't trust the "scientific experts" then who can you trust?

On the 4th of July DeSantis was praising israel instead of America.
