I sometimes play GTA 5 (because I have over 100 million in that game, I have I don't give a fuck money) and they've released a new update. Nothing major just a few additions and changes.

Since the update however, there's been two bugs, one that could delete ANY personal vehicles and the current one that randomly removes insurance so if your vehicle is destroyed you lose it for good.

Between Rockstar with this, Activision not knowing when to just shut the fuck up and Fable looking like their character artists use downs syndrome patients as their models it seems all the talent has gone out of the western video game market, at least in a major studio sense.

So which ones do you think are the biggest fuck ups that you're surprised hasn't burned down their own studio by now?

Anime is making pursue immortality or at least a longer life, my backlog grows and I haven't even started watching all of One Piece or Gintama, at least my retirement won't be boring..

A good season overall, a lot more action compared to last season and summer is looking more intense, so far the leftists still haven't managed to get their claws inside any of the popular ones so still a safe haven for those of us wanting entertainment. I'm also going to link some of the op and eds in this as there were some really good songs this season.

On my backlog: Ranking of Kings spinoff, Heavenly Delusion, my love story with Yamada-kun at lv999, Skip and Loafer (started first episode at least) Why Raelina Ended up at the Duke's Mansion, The dangers in my heart, Otaku elf, insomniacs after school. Just didn't have enough time.

Best of season: Oshi no Ko: great op and ed that delves into the dark side of the entertainment industry. Won't spoil just try to watch the 1hr first episode, if it doesn't hook you then ok but if it does wait for ep 6 as it's something we've been monitoring A LOT.

Demon Slayer: no brainer, fantastic art and op, great VA work from Tanjiro va in that last episode, just a good time.

Mobile Suit Gundam The witch from Mercury cour 2: Warcrimes! Get your fresh warcrimes with big robots! God damn Prospera is the biggest bitch around but damn does she play EVERYONE like a fiddle, BIG payoffs from the set up of the first cour and a great 2nd op

Death mount Dead Play: This one caught me off guard and almost slept on it. Great op pulls an uno reverse card first episode and every character is a shade of grey not 1 dimensional, highly recommend.

Dr Stone season 3: I learn more science from this than my time in school, getting more payoffs and can't help but root for your guy 1 billion percent

Mashle magic and muscles: one punch man goes to Hogwarts. In a word of nerds relying on magic for everything, one gigachad goes to everyone and teaches why you never skip leg, bicep, abdominal, back etc day. Really funny had so many belly laughs from this one.

Konosuba: An explosion on this wonderful world: it's more Konosuba but telling Megumin's backstory so if you enjoyed the main series you'll enjoy this

Need more episodes to cook: Hell's Paradise: the art is good as well as the action, story is interesting but needs at least 16 episodes before I can recommend.Great op

Slept on: My Home Hero: The art might put people off but the story about a father covering up murdering his daughter's abusive Yakuza boyfriend is a good thriller, props to his wife as a keeper as she walks in and immediately goes 'alright how do we hide the body?'

Interesting but not for everyone: Kamikatsu: Working for God in a godless world: You will be trolled by the art in this, they are doing it on purpose. Son of a cult leader after a ritual wakes up in 'another world' where there is no concept of god. After nearly dying thanks to this empire's adoption of Canadian healthcare, his loli cult's god comes down to save him and together start a religion to givdme her power through worshippers. It's nuts from Sex cults, strange 2016 CGI monsters and the best girl was a guy but it's fun to watch.

The Legendary hero is Dead!: fantastic op, a village farmer and devoted follower of thighology accidentally kills the hero in the dumbest trap ever and forced by the hero's necromancer ally to inhabit the hero's body to 'save the world'. Got some good humour but is heavy on fan service so not your thing skip, but at least listen to the op.

Rokudo's Bad Girls: In a story that I can't tell is Imp's hell or secret fantasy, mc gains a charm from his grandfather that makes any bad girl fall in love with him, the biggest being a girl that solo's gangsters for breakfast, good op and fun ed

Mentioning because I can: I got a cheat skill in Another world and became Unrivaled in the Real world too: long ass title explains it all, quite generic but to it's credit brilliantly displays trauma in the MC for being bullied all his life

My One-Hit kill sister: yeah I know its heavy on the incest vibes and fan service but two things: 1. WHY is the art for the action scenes REALLY good? 2. The ed which is good visuals are giving me flashbacks of Recess/Rugrats creepy pasta stories or is that just me?

In another world with my smartphone: it improved a little, that's it so it's avoided being last on my worst Isakai list.

The average: The aristocrat's otherworldly adventure, Summoned to Another world for a second time. They're not bad but VERY predictable.

That's it, I KNOW I left a few things off but it's just a stream of anime nowadays, even professional anime YouTubers that do it as a job can't keep up!

A bit of a comparison to the vampires like Henry Kissinger and Soros who WON'T die.

Plus with the constant Trump news for the past 8 years on that one qoute, it was too good a opportunity to use that title for a guy that made a cabinet that could part-time on onlyfans.

Something I noticed with this YouTube short talking about the insistence to use BCE/CE instead of BC/AD. Ironically that comment was left on a video discussing all the ways the Netflix Cleopatra was bad..

Wanted to know if anyone had any other examples to form a kind of list as we get hit by the big stuff of redheads turning black and trans after our kids we forget it's an attack on all fronts to destroy western culture and some of those attacks are more discreet.

Sometimes you can't beat a good bastard in a story, someone who will do underhanded tactics to win, kick a defeated opponent when they are down or is always about the reward after they complete a quest/job.

Been reading The Greatest Estate Developer and it's your standard Isekai tale, guy wakes up in the body of a lords eldest son he read a fictional story about and knows they are in massive debt, all die to be the catalyst for the knight that serves them who's the MC. So he uses his architectural knowledge to change their fortunes but does it in the most bastard way.

He'll bitch slap an entire college full of stuck up nobles because he can get away with it, kurbstomp his opponent after he wins a duel to then trick him into exile, force a water contract on a rival noble that essentially binds his future generations to pay him extortionate fees and much more. This series jusy passed 100 episodes and has some of the best faces I've seen from a series.

So whether it's Leon from MobuSeka or Amos from The Expanse, who's your favourite fictional bastards?

So we are more than a month into the budweiser one and it's been longer for the hogwarts one so let's see the affects.

So the recent one first, they're MASSIVELY losing money, a large percentage of their consumers have switched, they got downgraded by banks because of the damage to it's product's image and it seems to just continue as they now run around like headless chickens trying to put out fires with petrol everytime they make a statement.

Now the hogwarts one, well the complete opposite. WB is going harder into the franchise even setting out a 10 year series based on the books, it made bank for the studio. It created a big wedge between streamers and the left and it's highlighted all the issues with any vtuber agencies that has left leaning bias the biggest one of these was Nijisanji. A talent called Zaion got fired and the company created a huge list of grievances of why she was fired, but then she responded and turns out most of it was bs, they seemed really to target her after she said that Nijisanji didn't want them playing hogwarts for the drama during a stream. Since then she's been independent and Nijisanji is making drama everyday from news that talents only getting 2% from merch sales (compared to Hololive getting between 25-50%), suspensions disguised as breaks and extreme amounts of miss management.

Then there's the other one involved in drama Vshojo, they recently lost 3 members with Silvervale, a main target gone because of a new contract (but there was implications she left because of lack of support when she was targeted) and as a result according to Kson, the rest got a better contract (probably to stop more from leaving).

The biggest 'win' though for the left was Pikamee going and that will be their crown....wait what, she's back as Henya under Vshojo, well shit then the left have won nothing, not even a phyricc victory.

So does this mean the right can finally do a successful boycott or is this easier to do with pisswater and is the left now too weak and despised that their boycotts are not just useless but emboldens the otherside and normies? Who knows, I'm mostly making this to rub salt especially since the twitter freaks are now admitting to the harassment because of Henya's debut trying to imply that them harassing her wasn't bad because she's with a new company. Room temperature IQ this lot.

Thought it'd be interesting to ask this, especially the Americans on here with the shootings each month. I'll provide a list and rank from who you trust the most with your security and the least. The list is:

1. Yourself (armed)
2. Yourself (unarmed)
3. Friends and family (armed)
4. Friends and family (unarmed)
5. Strangers (armed)
6. Strangers (unarmed)
7. Police
8. Private security
9. Milita groups
10. PMCs
11. Military
12. Organised crime (mafias, gangs, cartels etc)
13. Other countries
14. International organisations (UN etc)

For my pick, 1-5 stays the same, then I'd go milita groups, private security, unarmed strangers, PMCs, military, criminal organisations, other countries then tied last international bodies and police. The fact that I'd place mafias ABOVE police says a lot about how I feel about the current legal systems, I'd only put police higher if they are rural police. Criminal gangs kept the peace more during the 'summer of love' than the police so that's why I rank them higher.

I think I'm safe in saying 1-4 will probably be the same for everyone here, maybe different order but that's it. But in terms of what the governments are offering for your security, if you can't do it yourself, you're better off buying protection personally.

There was this one comment I came across on a discussion about if Isekai is ever going to run out of steam:

The most popular trope coming from a single place is usually indicative of the biggest problem there. Japan with isekais (deaths & escaping reality), Korea with returns (social pressure & regrets), and China with Cultivation (breaking free from/overthrowing the upper control). Those common tropes are what the people wished they had in real life.

I've been reading quite a few manwha's recently as well as manga and this are REALLY common trends. Enjoyable too as on each side we can easily relate to that desire.

So why not apply it to western fiction, what was the main trend there?

In the past, when the leftists weren't involved, I'd say it was more inspirational, from the obvious Superman to the relatable trying to do his best despite personal issues Spiderman, even in a nihilistic world of mega cities, Judge Dredd could be inspirational just because he still stood up for the values of law and justice in this husk of a world.

After the leftists, I think the worst thing is not just the tranny, race and gay pushing, it's that it's no longer inspirational. Rather than inspire to do better, they want everyone dragged down to their level, have everything given to them and not have to struggle because 'they're on the right side'.

Even though it's majority leftist propaganda, if we apply the same rule here 'Most popular trope indicative of biggest problem' then the West's biggest issue is stagnation, no inspiration to push forward or lead the way for others to follow your example. It might be another reason for the great switch to manga and Anime as people would rather adopt another trope than be stuck in essentially the West's limbo trope. At least the Asian tropes offer a way out of the current problem in a fictional setting.

You can see how much people are deprived of inspirational media with the success of films like Top Gun Maverick or John Wick but what do you guys think, this ring true to you?

Just something coming into my mind given all the recent 'new hate speech laws' and seeing the slow growth of resistance to all these decrees.

We've seen all these policies but EVERY ONE of them is a failure due to spotty enforcement (even if by design), negligence, inefficient allocation of resources, extremely poor supervision etc.

Yet we can see in other countries, despite different issues plaguing them, they are able to have authoritarian rule like in China with their social credit score and the like.

Is the main reason why the left is slowly losing every gain they make or attempts to copy authoritarian rule similar to others down to simple lack of basic competency? As I think a lot of people would be ok submitting if they knew that the system was actually ran well.

Story is very fresh right now with several outlets blowing it up as a 'we won!' moment and AOC calling for his arrest for incitement or some shit.

He needs to do a Rubin or something similar as he was the one thing that made people even watch fox sometimes because of his anaylsis. I sense Fox's viewing figures are going to dive again...

In my search for new ways to piss off the people I despise, I thought why not see what these failures are actually proposing as policy and if it's more fantasy than a new std not coming from degeneracy. Off the top of my head:

Affirmative action: nope, doesn't work, there's no practical application for this as you a depriving those with skills positions for those less skilled and better suited elsewhere

Open borders: Yes, this is a workable policy. So long as you remove ALL social safety nets. No welfare, no unemployment care, no medicare, do that and you can have open borders.

Defunding of police: This is fine so long as EVERY restriction on weapon ownership is also removed. I doubt criminals would act freely if everyone is openly carrying rifles and shotguns let alone handguns.

Social care programs: Not too much of a problem in moderation so long as you ALSO have a border under as tight control as the Korean DMZ and a border security that got training from the NVKD. If you have that then you just have to ensure the programs are not to the point it disenfranchises working.

Green policies: Not bad so long as they are focused at infrastructure upgrades and improvements and not by subsidiaries to companies or extra taxation and regulation for companies that are still using fossil fuel.

Safety regulations: This one is mixed, on the one hand we've seen what happens without the proper safety procedures in place (see the Halifax explosion and Texas City disaster) but on the other you don't want to make it so stifling that it slows production and development or even disenfranchises companies complying (like the recent allergy debacle)

LGBT+ initiatives: No

Reparations: No

That's all I can think of for now, feel free to add more or if you think I was wrong in my assessment of these policies.

After a long week of bullshit we need a light topic now and again. We all know how important music can be and the intro and outro to a show can be a factor in giving it a try or sticking with it. But which ones were WAY TOO good for the shows they were used in your opinions?

For me, this op made by Myth & Roid was too good for the show it was used in, Isekai Cheat Magician. I actually stuck with it longer for the op but it didn't get better so dropped it.

This one is the reason I'm making this, the ed for a new show I tried My one-hit kill sister by Valiswas really good in my opinion to a show that could end up average though I hope it stays good(really simple premise and sister is WAY too into her brother)

An Honorable mention, the 2nd ed for yuusha yamemasu the show itself was good but this ed elevated it especially with the tone shift half-way through.

So yeah, which shows op and eds did you go 'yeah this show is average/boring/bad but the music is fantastic!'

Not too long ago we had this post about Daniel pushing Trans shit and now we have this news, it's like cosmic karma

We all have mixed opinions on J K Rowling, from 'she's a bitch but I like she's pissing off the people I despise' to 'she's evil incarnate funding a male genocide' but this is really funny as pointed out in this recent Clownfish video

Essentially, the Twitter 'boycott' (cough harassment campaign) might have caused this to be green lit as WB made BANK with that game thanks to the amount of attention it got (and I'm sure some vtuber fans bought it to piss off the twitter freaks) so they may focus on Harry Potter more and with Rowling as Executive producer, there ain't going to be any trans shit. This also takes away the star power of all the film stars now turning on Rowling despite her work being the reason they have any fame.

I got no bone in this fight but I'd love it to be successful with a white Hermoine just because it'll be 10 years of rubbing it in these narcissistic freaks faces.

We've all seen it, from the endless attempts at sexualizing children to the walking degeneracy of 'pride parades'. This has long been going on for decades but I want to look at it from two angles, the biological side and the ideological reasons they are doing this and why this is both a weakness and extremely dangerous.

Biology first, since sex is required for the simple 'continuation of our species' nature gave us some incentives to first have sex and stay in a committed relationship since our children take longer to be self sufficient. There are several chemicals linked to sex (oxytocin, dopamine and phenylethylamine) that encourages you to not just have sex but stay together and even cuddle after (which is stronger in women). So what's the downsides if you just act promiscuously? Depression, anxiety, more prone to alcohol and drug addiction, inability to create long term relationships and the list goes on. I think a lot of us that have first or second hand experience with promiscuous women and guys too have seen these trends.

Now for the ideological side, the left knows that healthy relationships in a nuclear family setting are detrimental to their movement thanks to biology, so have been trying ever since the 'sexual revolution' and before that to subvert this. By switching the focus of sex from building a relationship and family to pure self gratification, we have seen the west deteriorate to more single families, rise in STDs and extreme levels of sexualization.

Now to why it's both a weakness and dangerous, the left's focus on this means that on ANY issue, so long as you can relate it to a fetish and therefore sexual gratification, they will endorse it. Try it as a thought experiment, with any position on the right that the left opposes, turn it into a fetish and once you fetishise it, you'll find a section of the far left that encourages it. Abortion, switch it to breeding fetishes especially if it's interracial. They already fetishise being conquered and controlled so that covers a lot of the 'oppressive hierarchy' they talk about. Even 'trad wives' as it's no coincidence they talk about beatings about it like they are trying to make it into a BDSM lifestyle.

This is extremely dangerous because it's now a drug to them and these addicts take this mind frame and project it onto others, that everyone would be happy if they where like them, constantly getting that next hit of sex to keep them going.

I'll start ending it here but one additional point, a question might come up of 'if they are this addicted to sex, why are they so opposed to it in fantasy?' Simple, because like a drug addict, they are living in a delusion, and if that delusion is ever broken, they will hit a low they can't recover from. So they'll lash out at ANYTHING that reminds them of a difference in reality and fiction and people able to draw sexual degeneracy but live normal fulfilling lives is the greatest example of that. It's why they have no problems with to even encouraging sexualization of children since this doesn't hurt their delusion that sexual gratification is the ONLY important issue but a drawing of it harms them because you can go 'this is fiction so doesn't matter, that child in the real world needs to be protected'.

TDLR: the left has become sexual addicts in their attempts to subvert western culture and are a danger to those around them.
