Important to note from this statement is that Hiroyuki Yamaga told Gainax employees to pretend he was in the hospital in one of several attempts to avoid repaying the money Anno loaned to them

I've been seeing a lot of retro display talk floating around lately. This is a solved problem, and I have the answer:

In search of the perfect display
We should all feel very lucky to live in an era where the entire libraries of a dozen or more formats old and new can be displayed on just about anything from gigantic OLED TVs to specialist monito…

Oh my god what do you mean Soken didn’t even ask for it, Tom basically just went “we heard they were huge fans so we wrote them a song to use however they want”
S"Can you explain? I am afraid I might say things I am not allowed to say" Y "Well... we got sent a song" S "A song from Tom Morello, I was shaking just trying to click on it" Y "Jason and Tom are board game buddies it seems" Y "And Jason mentioned you're a die hard fan" Y "Soken didn't pick this tshirt just for today, he always has a Rage Against shirt" Y "And apparently, he said if thats such a great game with such a nice community, he would make a song for us" Y "And we got sent a song!" S "Isn't that crazy?!" Y "This was about a year ago? Right during the orchestra concert in Saudi Arabia" Y "We were having a cigarette outside the hall and I was listening to the song right there" S "A god wrote a song for us so we had to use it" Y "But we also just can't place it randomly in the game" Y "So we were thinking a lot about where and how to use it" Y "We had to get in touch with the management as well because we literally just got sent the song" Y "And they told us its packed with energy and to please use it... WELL THAT DOESNT MAKE IT EASIER haha" Y "Had to get everything legal sorted, since people are going to stream the content etc. but he told us its not about money and because the community is so great to just use it" S "Guys, this is a really crazy thing" Y "I explained a lot of the scenarios and he just let us have it in whatever way we wanted"

I think more people should ask themselves "Is the thing I'm about to say going to add to the conversation, or do I just want to remind people I exist?" If it's truly the latter, I think there are healthier avenues for validation out there.

We spent the last decade letting every streamer define any kind of action cartoon as "anime." Is it really a shock that Western audiences only gravitate to the shonen battle stuff?

Every couple of months, kids who make liking Chainsaw Man their personality recoil in fear, muttering "s-sex???" at some new development and it's always really funny. Fujimoto will drag them kicking and screaming into adulthood.

Screenshot of Tweets that say: "Once at my granny's house my uncle excitedly said a James Bond film was on the tv. My Da said "sure they're all the same, a load of lads shooting at one lad then a mountain blows up." My uncle got really mad at how reductive that was then became furious when the mountain blew up. My Da, of course, knew it was the one where the mountain blows up at the end. This was a foundational lesson which illustrated to me that walking the path of the hater means knowing more about something that people who profess to like it."

#FFXIV #FF14 #GaiusForEorzea
Tell me. For whom do you fight? Hmph! How very glib. And do you believe in Eorzea? Eorzea's unity is forged of falsehoods. Its city-states are built on deceit. And its faith is an instrument of deception. It is naught but a cobweb of lies. To believe in Eorzea is to believe in nothing. In Eorzea, the beast tribes often summon gods to fight in their stead--though your comrades only rarely respond in kind. Which is strange, is it not? Are the "Twelve" otherwise engaged? I was given to understand they were your protectors. If you truly believe them your guardians, why do you not repeat the trick that served you so well at Carteneau, and call them down? They will answer--so long as you lavish them with crystals and gorge them on aether. Your gods are no different than those of the beasts--eikons every one. Accept but this, and you will see how Eorzea's faith is bleeding the land dry. Nor is this unknown to your masters. Which prompts the question: Why do they cling to these false deities? What drives even men of learning--even the great Louisoix--to grovel at their feet? The answer? Your masters lack the strength to do otherwise! For the world of man to mean anything, man must own the world. To this end, he hath fought ever to raise himself through conflict--to grow rich through conquest. And when the dust of battle settles, is it ever the strong who dictate the fate of the weak. Knowing this, but a single path is open to the impotent ruler--that of false worship. A path which leads to enervation and death. Only a man of power can rightly steer the course of civilization. And in this land of creeping mendacity, that one truth will prove its salvation. Come, champion of Eorzea, face me! Your defeat shall serve as proof of my readiness to rule! It is only right that I should take your realm. For none among you has the power to stop me! Gaius van Baelsar FOR Eorzea Gaius van Baelsar
