What's up with Japan's youth and the cornucopia of plushies attached to their bags? A recent survey says the plushie bag charm trend can be traced back to oshi-katsu and a centuries-old Japanese religious tradition.

To clarify, there's nothing in this game that wouldn't pass muster in an M-rated film.

There are people spreading malicious rumors about it, claiming that it is more extreme.

It reminds me of Night Trap, supposedly one of the most transgressive games of its age. Reality: Milder than Power Rangers.

As the mom of a five-year-old reading this and imagining what this family is going through made me physically ill. Unimaginable evil is being perpetrated before our eyes and with our tax dollars.

Surviving footage from the 1917 Theda Bara CLEOPATRA. Theda's costumes were held on with tape, glue and prayers. The Fox studio insisted that the pasties were essential for historical accuracy. After multiple viewings, many censor boards agreed.

Detective Instinct is selling more copies in Japan than any other country 😮

It moves me deeply that something we created is resonating with audiences globally, and I can't thank our JP translator Lone and editor Toku enough for their amazing work!

Let's keep up the momentum 👍

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.
