I say they twice and he five times

sure "they" has been taken over by the alphabet soup but it is still a valid way to refer to someone, probably is poor english though now that i think about it but i'm pretty sure I have seen they used a singular sense in books long before the pronoun police

although for readability the first they probably should have been a he

kept wondering why that link took me to the youtube homepage I had forgotten about the shorts blocking addon

inception was heavily inspired by paprika https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paprika_(2006_film)

unfortunately it was Satoshi Kons last film before pancreatic cancer took him leaving his next film dreaming machine unfinished

his very last work was a 1 minute short called good morning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4KIZD1cTJI

its mostly conservative

although that can mean pretty left wing these days...

I liked her character in TNG

shame she is absolutely batshit insane and evil in real life

my two favourite series IBO and Turn A are not really what I would recommend to someone new to the franchise because they are both intentionally different to the other gundam series in a way where knowing the common tropes of gundam is kind of a must in my opinion (less so with Turn A though but I still wouldn't watch turn A early on)

that being said: start with the compilation films of the original 79 gundam they cut out a lot of the filler and theres a few scenes re-done because in the original tv series bandai wanted to sell toys

once you have watched those you can go straight to zeta or watch some of the side stuff like 08th MS team

oh yeah that one was actually pretty good

shame bandai fucked the launch, the updates, the monetization and then shut it down

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1367080/MOBILE_SUIT_GUNDAM_BATTLE_OPERATION_2/

its a PS3 game (battle operation 1) ported to the PS4 (operation 2) playable on ps5 via backwards compatibility ported to PC

there is as far as i can tell no crossplay between pc and ps4/5 so there is a very small community

additionally the game uses a gacha mechanic to get new suits AND THERE IS NO PITY *

* many gacha games have a "pity" mechanic that means players are guaranteed to get the "banner" character after so many pulls

this apparently first came about after a fate grand order (i think?) player spent thousands of dollars and did not get the banner character and people got mad then apparently gacha games started to have pity mechanics

this gundam game has no pity so you can have really bad luck and never get the suit you want ever

yeah... I want to know how big Japanese anime is in China because it must have some influence if the Chinese gacha games are using Japanese voice actors as much as they are

since chinese games started to come over to the west I have found myself really wanting to know what chinese developers have been doing over there regards single player experiences that we just haven't been able to see due to the great firewall

unfortunately very few are available over here and those that are don't have english translations, one such game being gujian (sword of legends) is on steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/570780/GuJian/ but no english and the english translation mod has vanished into the ether after some people on that project got worried about the consequences of being involved with it (chinese laws i guess?)

mihoyo have shown with genshin that they can take inspirations and create regions based on non-chinese cultures and countries and not fuck it up, yu pengchen the main composer up until a year ago did an amazing job and is currently up there in my list of top contemporary classical composers

also, outside of gacha there have been other games coming out that I didn't realise were chinese until I looked into it

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2452280/Mecha_BREAK/

mechabreak I thought was japanese, the mechs look extremely gundam (to the point where I was wondering to myself if they had perhaps hired one or two of the designers from the more recent anime) and the beta testing they did a month or so ago had full japanese voice acting. (from what I played mechabreak is the gundam game bandai should have made already but they are too busy shoving their collective heads up their arses)

there are chinese people out there making some great games, its just a shame about the chinese state

smartphones were the second eternal September

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September

smartphones and social media were a fucking mistake

I like how the replies seem to be claiming that gays and other degenerates in palestine are not persecuted due to islamic laws

theres someone with a screenshot of the wikipedia page on alphabet degeneracy in the state of palestine highlighting the bit right at the top that says they are persecuted and theres replies saying "you do know that can be edited right"

cows for butchers...

oh so thats what happened

I stopped watching inrange once ian was no longer involved as the content was boring without him

how does slow walking relief help them?

is western NC mostly republican?

the reason that resetera exists its because of a schism at neogaf

neogaf was iirc basically left empty for a few years because everyone had jumped ship to REEEEEEsetera but then the REEEEEing got too much and the bans got handed around like candy meaning everyone not 100% in line with the modern audience got banned and went back to neogaf

Do developers still get any money if one were to buy it play it for five minutes and then post a negative review followed by a refund?

I went to this curators page https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44927664-Woke-Content-Detector/ and scrolled until the end and then I found the one review that matches the one the woke retard posted a screenshot of (but tried to hide what the game actually was)

that sent me to this https://store.steampowered.com/app/1459010/Fallen_Leaf/?curator_clanid=44927664

also existing not exist

ah i didn't think about it being a live service

we recently had a guy kill some people with a crossbow

this of course has lead to the media asking why anyone would want a crossbow

for some older (as in published 15+ years ago) ones

angelic layer (people engage in fighting tournaments using angels - dolls that the owners design and create clothes for and then control via some kind of mind impulse unit thing)

cardcaptor sakura (magical girl manga main character has to collect cards created by a powerful wizard that have been released and cause havoc)

azumanga daioh (high school comedy pretty funny nuff said)

could be, thing is I have seen conversations where people point out areas where they do pay attention to historical detail (as they turn battleships into anime waifus) so I doubt its by accident

I don't play it but you don't watch anime without some of it showing up

but from my position its like 99% ass and tiddies

the 1% is the HMS hood who from what I have seen is not overly sexualised in the official artworks (there is the obligatory swimsuit skin) and appears to be treated with some level of respect (the hood was a bit of a figurehead for the royal navy and the loss of the hood was a bit of a blow for morale)

if you compare her to the bismarck https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Bismarck or if i just hit random page until i find another ship the HMS suffolk https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Suffolk

I really want to actually know why the hood is like that now it just seems odd to have this one character in the sea of anime boobs and ass that isn't showing them

In star trek tng during one ofnthe first contact episodes picard says that to instantly transform a society with technology would be harmful and destructive and its why they don't uplift primative civilizations and instead wait until they achieve warp and even then still leave it to them to work out most of the other stuff

Go look at Africa and how fucked up they are because we tried to give them technology that was thousands of years beyond their mud huts

They don't stop at fictional characters either, they will ship real people together and write fucked up fanfictions about it

i'm afraid to say that she is a terf and has internalised muhsoggyknee

or something...
