Cute finale to a cute show. Really hope this one gets a S2.

What kind of ‘something’ do you want me to do?

Fatigue. There’s just been so much and it’s kinda fucking draining if you stay plugged in to it all. It’s not like doomscrolling will make the situation any better either.

Also like, that was kind of the point of Don’t Look Up. People do just shut these things out. If you understood the movie you should know the answer to your question.

NateTheHate is claiming it’s Ocarina of Time.

Little late catching up, but wow, best episode yet. An invisible man trying to be seen makes for a very interesting character, and I love the visual direction of how his backstory was animated.

Simple, I can’t play Kirby Air Riders or Splatoon 3 on PC. And while I still prefer the form factor of Nintendo’s old smaller dedicated handhelds, I think the Switch (2) is still at least a little bit better at being a handheld than the much bulkier Steam Deck.

(Don’t say emulation, because even then I still can’t play online on official servers.)

First party games do, with the lone exception of Pokopia. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, the game they’re announcing this new pricing difference for, is a proper cartridge.

I’m not happy about it, but I think it’s kind of inevitable. It’s not a question of if, but when, and it’s not only going to be Nintendo.

In theory, if the technology worked very differently from the way it does now, I could envision a world in which AI NPCs could have potential. But knowing how LLMs actually work, knowing that a lot of the hype behind them is smoke and mirrors, I can’t see it being viable. And with the trajectory that the LLM bubble is going, I just don’t think it will ever reach a point where I’d trust it.

They’re gonna tell you this is the only way to be sure that routers don’t contain a backdoor. They’re gonna tell themselves this is the only way to be sure that routers do contain a backdoor.

The very first entry on that link is A Silent Voice. Absolutely phenomenal film, my all-time favorite in fact, but extremely not one I would show to a 6-year old child.

Was just about to say Little Witch Academia, but you’re one step ahead of me.

Spy x Family does have some violence in it, but it’s mostly Looney Tunes-tier. I know it’s one that’s very popular with kids in Japan.

Bocchi the Rock is quite wholesome, but it is sub-only and I’m guessing at that age she’s probably not reading subs yet.

CITY: The Animation and You and I are Polar Opposites are two recent family friendly hits.

It is theatrics. They know they’ve already got literally the entire userbase on their server, so none of this actually matters.

When Bluesky inevitably enshittifies, they take the whole network down with them.

BlueSky pays lip service to federation, but they’ve set it up so that they’ve got effective control of 99% of the network. It’s a sham to convince people they’re different from every other corporate-owned social media platform, but it really isn’t.

It feels like activity has dropped off a bit since the last Reddit exodus. And I worry that this platform is never going to see the kind of critical mass I’d want out of it, to be big enough that I can use it to discuss more niche topics and fandoms than what’s currently on offer here. I see communities get made and die off on the regular from people who want to use this platform they way they used Reddit but quickly realize they can’t.

I’m still here because I believe in the ideals of a federated platform, but I just don’t know what the future holds at this rate.

If we say we don’t like and it looks hideous, what exactly are we wrong about? “Actually you really love it!” Fuck off, you can’t force us to like your slop no matter how much you try to shove it down our throats.

I’m almost positive it’s one person who keeps making new accounts.

I’m just saying that the original is always better than dub.

To say that as if it’s universal is exactly what I’m trying to say is wrong. Especially if your justification is “it’s not 1:1 so it’s bad” - SungWon Cho, who IMO is one of the most talented English VAs out there, has a response to that that’s way better than I can ever put it.
