"That Mr. Elegance— a man whose goal in life is to collect, imprison, own and ogle cute girls while commanding them to do his bidding— is the most unflattering possible representative of the otaku culture should slap you repeatedly in the face."

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I just learned the Bugs Bunny No meme doesn't even come from him saying no. It's a frame rotated 90 degrees from him taking a drink from a bottle. I needed to share this.

the thing you have to know about working with valve is that, in practice, "flat leadership" means "whether your game gets to go on the store OR is permanently and irrevocably dragged behind the shed and shot is entirely up to the individual moral values of the SINGLE person reviewing it"
love living under a hays code/comics code authority except it's in some ways worse, because it's not actually codified anywhere and it's enforced opaquely on purpose to avoid accountability at every stage
Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

Namco's biggest game on the PC Engine has to be Valkyrie no Densetsu, a magnificent port of an arcade game that's one of the best action games you can play on the PCE.

I got so stoned at a Mets game once I compared the Jumbotron to the top screen of a Nintendo DS bc it had “a bunch of useful contextual information” and the field to the bottom screen bc “it’s where the game is actually played”

And this is "how they get you" gacha dirty tricks: RC players note three of the impossible "folder" item (only given for re-rolling a character and you need three to "awaken") are on the $10 battle pass. i've ignored this in the past but it's the *only* easy way to awaken chars

can confirm, used to do absolutely nothing for long periods of time at this exact location
the "virgin megastore" was a great third place. you could take dates there and shoplift together as a romantic activity. richard branson has so much money and nobody who works there gave a shit, you could just walk out with stuff
