Reading the Frieren manga, with the internal conflict of going past the anime whilst looking forward to seeing the new season with enough episodes for a binge-watch.

I am tickled that Kraft says that Übel has "the eyes of a killer" when she's just this:

Count Olrox: "How's your son by the way? Has he developed any abilities?"
Dracula: "He's fine, but I'm worried about his bat transformation."
Count Olrox: "How so?"
Dracula: "He can fly, he can turn into a bat, but sometimes he gets a little from column a, and a little from column b."

Mixx sprung for a dub, and its definitely part of the charm of playing this now.

Transphobes talk about wanting to "protect women and girls", but when was the last time you saw one jump in the way of a boss's attack and risk critical damage and possibly one or more status changes? Never, that's when. So shut up.

This sort of design ethic really fascinated me, especially with the Batman games where more influence was taken from the comics instead of the movies. Batman: Caped Crusader, for example, made comic panels the playable area and overlapped them when entering a new "room".

The liminal spaces in Metal Gear Solid 2 were incredible. I would happily just play a mod with no enemies or bosses, just taking in early 2000s influenced design.

When the liquor is so strong, it drunks itself.
I spent way too much time look at liquor bottles in Lost Judgment yesterday and the whisky's having been manufactured understands and it doesn't understand for the first time when where it was.

It’s so funny that this guy’s entire thing is “Oh are you triggered by what I have to say about marginalized people” but he loses it when someone more well-liked than he will ever be talks about an actual injustice

Remember to Dirge your Cerberuses at the earliest possible opportunity.

Failure to do so may result in litters of puppies which have more heads per pup than expected, as well as very fiery house training and the doggy door becoming an obsidian gateway to the domain of Hades.

Now you too can play a slowed down version of a game from 20 years ago with no actual level design or enemies and all it costs is a complete collapse of the world economy, biosphere, education system, and multiple entire creative industries.
Project Genie is an an experimental research prototype that Google gave @jaypeters.net access to this week, though he may not be using it in exactly the way Google intended.

Here's Jay's version of something like Super Mario 64:

Ah February, known to be the shortest month of the year and a month that sounds like a stalled car when you say it.

It's quite telling that the immediate response to experimental and emerging technology, is to sell it as quickly as possible without being quite sure about the full ramifications or even the capability of the damn thing.
Years of covering the business have taught me that “investors” and executives are thick skulled, irrational, impulsive children.

I cannot emphasize enough how comprehensive their stupidity is, but their cultlike devotion to regurgitative AI really helps get the point across.
I regret to inform everyone that the smartest money people out there are, overwhelmingly, dumb as a rock
