Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Been playing 999, I like June and this silly pose she makes

for @endlessmode.bsky.social - I wrote about yuri manga 'Black & White' and how it depicts the way women get pitted against each other under capitalism.

In ‘Toxic Yuri’ Manga Black and White, A Co-Worker’s Fist Feels Like A Kiss

Black and White: Tough Love At The Office looks at how male-dominated workplaces pit women against each other.

On Monday, Yacht Club Games delayed the much-anticipated upcoming game Mina the Hollower.

On Tuesday, I visited their studio and saw the game. It made for a rare glimpse at why a video game gets delayed and what "polish" actually means.

Why 'Mina the Hollower' Was Delayed

Yacht Club Games hasn't given a new release date, but the delay shouldn’t be more than a few months

I remember some friends saying man, I'm glad that the National Guard deployment to DC happened AFTER Otakon because explaining those pictures in future history books would be weird and I was saying the opposite, no let's making it fully fucking clear how absurd this entire damn thing is

We don’t use AI for subtitles. Every line is carefully timed and translated by real people (who cry during finales and debate Best Girls, just like you).

@hidive.com is on Bluesky, but here's a screencap from their Twitter account where they state what should feel obvious when it comes to the idea of using AI for anime translation & timing... but in today's world it's unfortunately not so obvious.

Good on Hidive, regardless.

a two-panel cartoon of Venom Snake and Quiet in The Phantom Pain. Quiet is wearing her usual bikini camo and Venom also is bare chested. In the first panel, Quiet walks up to Venom silently. In a smaller panel captioned LIVE MOTHERBASE REACTION, Revolver Ocelot, Kazuhira Miller and DD look on. In the second panel, Quiet honks Venom's pecs while imagining to press her face on them. Venom is blushing, but pleased. In the reaction panel, DD's ears perk up, Ocelot giggles in amusement, and Kaz is outraged

Chitose is in the Ramune Bottle – Episode 1

It’s lazy, self-congratulatory storytelling that no amount of pretty animation can add depth to. You can get in that Ramune bottle and stay there, buddy.
