- Comment on Macron weighs in on Le Pen verdict for first time: ‘The law is the same for everyone’ 6 days ago:
Let’s not forget he’s only saying that because he’s not running anymore. He was perfectly happy propping her up above all others in the last 8 years, the same way Trump was propped up, except he won (until last summer when the left came back). Everyone else on the right is mad because they wanted to do the same in the next cycle, as usual - even some on the left are also a bit unsure, probably because they also expected to do the same for themselves after Macron is gone (the left has a much better chance than the right against the far right). Hell, even his current Prime Minister is making barely veiled comments about it - the same guy (among a few others) whose party was also punished for something similar, except on a far, far lesser scale, thus without ineligibility sentencing.
- Comment on New Elements Of Ghost of Yotei Teased 2 months ago:
the team went to Japan multiple times to soak in the scenery, the culture, and more, and it was there that the crew got the idea to shift the game’s section to the northern island of Yotei, where things would be vastly different in both topography and the people who lived there.
The site also reminded fans of a previous interview that Sucker Punch did, where one of the team members noted the new region would feature “sprawling grasslands, snowy tundras, and unexpected dangers.”
… What? Are they saying that Yotei will actually be all of Hokkaido?
- Comment on If Anime Doesn't Get an Oscar Nomination Next Year, Then Film Is Dead 4 months ago:
Edit: and the article also forgot to mention that Miyazaki already won two Oscars. So it’s not like Japanese animation is being fully ignored.
First paragraph
Not only have anime films rarely been nominated for Best Animated Feature, but of the few nominations there have been, the only winners were Spirited Away in 2003 and The Boy and the Heron in 2024.
- Comment on AND THEY DIDN'T STOP EATING 4 months ago:
Several were defrosted, two woke up
The others didn’t.
RIP worms
- Comment on It's been 30 years and I still can't get over the fact that the French word for "potatoes" is "ground apples." Have The French never had an apple? 5 months ago:
You got it the wrong way around. Hebrew used a generic word for fruit, all languages translated that word as their version of apple which was generic at the time, and then much later, all languages changed the meaning of their word for apple, it’s not specific to French. The use of apple for one specific fruit is fairly recent.

But is that a fact
(it’s not)
- Comment on Assassin’s Creed Shadows delay due to Ubisoft finally listening to developers "pushing for a delay for some time", says report 6 months ago:
I’m not reading the article but why does the title still need to phrase it like the devs are the ones who need more time, suggesting they haven’t finished making the game a month and a half ahead of release? We already know that investors got spooked by Star Wars exploding because of its sales model with special editions driving up the prices for some bullshit, and we know AC was supposed to do the same but now won’t. They literally just said “actually we’re going back to simultaneous Steam release and we’re dropping the special editions and we’re rethinking the season’s pass from scratch and so-and-so will now be free instead of paid DLC” like a couple weeks ago. I can see that they did that following devs advice, but it wasn’t that the devs needed time, ever since the advent of DLC there have been multiple games from big companies where we’ve heard that the dev team fought against garbage DLC and sales practice but were told to fuck off and do what they were told and then the game exploded. The sales department is the one that needs more time to rethink the worth of cutting this down and selling the pieces, and then have the devs adjust all that.
