Tonight will be my final Laika: Aged Through Blood livestream and my last Sunday stream of 2025 for @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social. It's a finish or bust stream, so I could end at the regular time or go late into the morning. Either way, get those whammies ready!

It does make sense that Super Sentai is going on around a ten-year hiatus. It's unprecedented for that particular show to take such a long break, but it worked out for Ultraman and Kamen Rider. The same will hopefully happen there, too.

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

I'm not sure if people got sick of Frank West or of Dead Rising as it existed with the fourth game, but Capcom is betting on either the latter or that enough time has passed since that game released if this rumor is true. mp1st.com/news/new-dea...

We'll be taking a break from Twitch after this Sunday (save for a Slow Burn Saturday stream in late December). Fortunately, we'll have YouTube videos up throughout December thanks to posting every other week. That should do us good until we return from break in mid-January.
I'm finally getting last week's SteamWorld Heist II livestream videos edited for for YouTube. I'll probably go with an every other Friday upload schedule for livestreams that don't happen on Sundays. This will be good since my streaming break from Twitch is fast approaching.

I’m getting closer to the end of Octopath Traveler 2, but I also realized how many optional dungeons I skipped. The bosses of the individual paths would have been much easier if I tackled them earlier on instead of grinding, and got the hidden jobs first. But it’s all been great fun.

surprised it took this long for a publisher to try this with a 'real' series. next we'll see a series with an AI-created original Japanese dub.
you folks would not BELIEVE how much the production companies want to do this. they want to never hire actors SO bad!!
ok maybe you WOULD believe it ☹️

It’s understandable why the developers aren’t committing to a second season of Dispatch yet, especially if they’re also working on another title. But I feel like it’s a case of “when” it will arrive with the sales numbers it’s putting up.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
