Reeks of old, greedy executive BS. So short-sighted in terms of both profitability and goodwill.
TBH, this seems like most Japanese companies in a nutshell

(pretty much all of his books are good).
There’s a couple of caveats. One of his books denies climate change is a thing, but still has “sources” at the b9tt9m of pages to look real. And then there’s Next, which is… a piece of work.
I think those were Crichton’s last 2 books too, so I think he may have been scraping the bottom of the barrel for ideas right before he died
- Comment on "The Rising of the Shield Hero" Season 5 Announced with Teaser Visual, PV 5 days ago:
It has consistently gotten worse with each season. I could barely pay attention to season 3, and I dropped it after that, which I’ll explain below:
::: spoiler At the end of season 3, with effectively no buildup, they announce that Raphtalia is actually a princess in exile, which she was completely unaware of. And because Naofumi gave her a specific kind of clothing to wear, that had mistakenly announced her intent to compete for the throne. :::
I personally find this to be extremely poor and lazy writing for what I hope is obvious reasons. Combining this with the increasingly boring seasons makes me think this series is irredeemable at this point.

Nah, Anno is a hack of an author, and the studio even admitted that most of the Christian imagery included was just put in because it looked cool.
The series lucked out by appealing to the neckbeard stereotype at exactly the right time, and with enough vagueness to let the viewers go full HS english teacher mode and convince themselves that the story was extremely deep and complex when it was really paper thin.
As I’ve already said, unless you’re just looking for a show that tickles the “woah giant robot fight” itch, NGE is just plain bad

PocketPair announced Palfarm^[Which I hope is a real game and not just an out of season April 1st like More than Just Pals],
Except More Than Just Pals is actually being developed

The original TV series was quite popular and well-liked in its day
This is not at all synonymous with good.
While the show does have good visuals going for it, the writing is terrible and underserving of the popularity it got

Bruh. The original series is also a giant goddamn mess

- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 week ago:
I’ve been playing Monster Sanctuary. It’s a Metroidvania Creature Collector that works surprisingly well.
I’m trying to get through the game before picking up Aethermancer, with is a Roguelike Creature Collector made by the same dev, and it launched a couple of weeks ago

… How do those two fit together? Is it still yaoi if the referenced char is male?
Yaoi can have overlap with the genderbend genre, though I don’t think it quite applies here.
Actually, since a fuckton of it is futa I don’t know if either really apply here
- Comment on I Love being born in this generation 1 week ago:
She’s a futa in about 3/4 of it

Nope, denser objects fall faster than less dense ones (through the air).
Technically it’s objects with a higher mass-to-drag ratio, but most of the time it’s close enough

- Comment on Steam Deck plugin adds AMD FSR4 support to improve visuals 2 weeks ago:
Also… if you are installing a plugin from a file, into Decky… you would have had to already download that file… and I am pretty sure, you’d have to that in desktop mode.
DeckyLoader has a list of repo’s you can download from within game mod. DeckyFrameGen has been in there all day.
… Are you really just annoyed that there is not one single, total set of instructions for you to follow?
No, I’m annoyed that the “guides” are telling people to go through a pointlessly overcomplicated process to install the plugin
- Comment on Steam Deck plugin adds AMD FSR4 support to improve visuals 2 weeks ago:
Because there is no way to install Decky from the game view/mode itself.
This is not what I was referring to. None of the guides actually go through the DeckLoader install process, they generally just link back to a previous guide on how to do that.
And if you already have DeckyLoader installed, you can just install DeckyLoadGen from within the DeckyLoader menu in game mode. I’m pointing out that it’s silly to go into desktop mode to do a manual install when it’s literally just 2 clicks inside DeckyLoader
- Comment on Steam Deck plugin adds AMD FSR4 support to improve visuals 2 weeks ago:
Why do all the guides instruct you to go to desktop mode to install the DeckyLoader plugin? Half the point of DeckyLoader is to let you do that from game mode.
- Comment on [STATUS] Comick.io closes down. 2 weeks ago:
My only issue with Comick is that they’d have a lot of duplicate chapters
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Metroidvanias are at their core based on having areas closed off without specific abilities, while open worlds are about having the worl not be closed off. I don’t see how you can make a game that attempts both without failing at being good in either domain
