I’m curious, on a legit/fanservice spectrum, where would you place Kill La Kill? It shows tons of skin, but it’s a legit part of the story. Of course it’s a dumb premise, but they lean into it anyway, and it does drive the plot in several instances.
As an aside, I enjoyed it a lot because I absolutely love Studio Trigger and their art style, but I’ve stopped recommending it to anyone because the conversation always goes in one direction. I’m not surprised, of course, but I wish people had the ability to resist fixating on that one element and appreciate the cinematography, character development, music, voice acting (including Nobuyuki Hiyama!), and all the other things that make it great…
- Comment on What's a cancelled game you really miss? 1 week ago:
Technically it was never released, but I was invited to a closed alpha (or beta?) for a game called Chroma, by Harmonix, the OG Guitar Hero people. It was a lot of fun and I’m still sad that it was canceled…

Reminds me of Mitch Hedberg’s banana joke.

Oh definitely, it’s just that when I searched the communities, the only result was on .world

I’d love to see an active expanddong community here. Looks like .world has one but it’s super dead :(
- Comment on ‘Audible enclaves’ could enable private listening without headphones. 5 weeks ago:
I’ve always been very curious about this technology, but I imagine that they wouldn’t be as good at transmitting high frequencies. I’m no audio engineer so it’s only a hunch of course. Do they sound comparable to a decent pair of buds in the ear?

I couldn’t agree more with everything you said. It’s an indisputable masterpiece.

I fear that this will lead to so much Intel leaking that it will put War Thunder players to shame.
- Comment on Hopes of US golden age fade as investors start to worry about ‘Trumpcession’ risk 1 month ago:
It would be great if the entire GOP would be forced to wear it as well, but this is honestly much better than nothing at all, which is what I would have predicted. It’s a good start.
- Comment on What was your favorite shareware game? 1 month ago:
Yes!! And you could kind of cheese the game by pressing both fire buttons in rapid succession (down arrow and ‘d’ I think). I loved making passes around an enemy’s planet and staying just ahead of their defenses, and becoming basically an A-10 Warthog in space. It was kind of difficult since your bullets inherited your velocity so you had to shoot at weird angles 😁
- Comment on What was your favorite shareware game? 1 month ago:
I spent so many hours as a kid on my dad’s Thinkpad playing Gravity Well. It came on one of those “50 Great Games” CDs or something like that. The goal is to claim all the planets in the system, which you do by simply landing on them, then building defenses against your opponents. It’s so much fun because your ship has pretty realistic inertia and the planets have actual gravity wells. The AI opponents can be quite difficult and aggressive. Challenging and fun, with great sound effects for the time!
This screenshot is from an Internet Archive page for the game, but I’m pretty sure it’s only the shareware version. I gotta check again when I get off work!

Please! It would be such a nice improvement!
I want to get out of here :(

I love cilantro too, but now I have to wonder… What if we’re not the ones getting the “true” taste?
I’ll take my blissful ignorance with some cilantro on top.
- Comment on Meta approves bonuses of up to 200% of company executives' salaries as it trims stock awards for employees 1 month ago:
Meta justified the executive pay increase by stating that their cash compensation was below market rates.
“Local serial killer justified his latest triple-homicide by stating that his body count was below the national average.”
- Comment on Valve have just updated the Source 1 SDK on GitHub to the latest code based on Team Fortress 2, effectively making TF2 code source available 2 months ago:
That has been a dream of mine for well over a decade. When I (rarely) play TF2 it’s with bots only, since they have all the vanilla stuff.
I miss the times when an entire team would do a Scout rush, with only the 3 vanilla weapons, just for the hell of it. It was always complete chaos. You can do it with bots, but it’s very tedious, and they only run along the ground from node to node. Give me a dozen Scouts flying off the rooftops spamming
x5x5x5x5!Also, does anyone else wish someone would bring back his crazy legs when he does the midair jump?

Weirdly, my password was rejected because someone else used “hunter” as theirs, so I had to add a damn 2 to it, smh
- Comment on Has anybody played Foundation, the medieval city builder? Looking for a laidback game 3 months ago:
I haven’t played Foundation, but since you’re looking for laid-back and medieval, there’s a really cozy looking game I want to try called Tiny Glade that apparently has no objectives. It seems to be a pure sandbox game.
Plus, if you like supporting devs who use smaller/less-well-known engines, this one runs on Bevy, a small Rust-based engine!
- Comment on Square Enix Unveils Die-Cast Miniatures of Retro Consoles 6 months ago:
Chrono Trigger is my favorite game of all time.
Every day I pray to whatever benevolent god(s) are out there that CT is never remade/remastered.
If it is, I hope it’s everything you want it to be, but I know I won’t be touching it.
