Walmart, Target, and other retailers are sending out an internal memo stating they will begin to round up/down prices to the nearest $0.05 beginning late 2025 to early 2026 as they phase out the penny

• Stores will continue to accept pennies until they don't have any on hand

I'd have to look at a few licensed manga series for an English release that got picked up in the past year, but I think I've noticed a trend in what's getting licensed.

Not a mind-blown situation but something I've had in the back of my head for a bit

The reddit theories about HiDIVE on the Oshi no Ko S3 news are hilarious 😂

To add, I wonder if Crunchyroll will add the previous season of Oshi no Ko just before season 3 releases? 🤔

That or they're making their own changes (i.e., script rewrites, redubbing, etc.) to the previous seasons before releasing.

That would be expensive AF to do

So Crunchyroll will be taking Oshi no Ko season 3 from HIDIVE....

Ngl, I'm surprised they waited until season 3 to do this and not try with S2 after how big S1 was.

One more volume until the end for Executioner and Her Way of Life manga adaptation.

I've been collecting them but haven't had time to read them yet 😅

Maybe I'll binge them and review the series 🤔

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

I checked several shows and it definitely seems like Crunchyroll went back to their old subtitles overnight. Digimon Beatbreak is also back to Toei’s usual in-house subtitle font.

Check out my review of Dragon Quest: The Mark of Erdrick volume 1! 😊

A common concern with a series like this is whether you need to be knowledgeable of the franchise before playing.

Luckily, that's not the case and you can enjoy the story to its fullest!

So apparently BitMap Books backtracked and states that the author will receive royalties for their book.

This was 100% due to community feedback.

WinterVenom @wintervenom91.bsky.social · 3d

So I just caught up on the BitMap Books situation and that is wild! 😬😬

From what I've gathered, if the author said something that bad, why didn't BitMap Books pull the book?

Apparently the person who brought this up to the pub's attention just didn't like the author?

I'm 3 episodes on and I'm sorry but I'm just not into Mayfair Witches. 😢

I like Alexandra Daddario and the premise sounded interesting, but it's just dull in execution.

I know fans seem to dislike S1 and think S2 is better, so we'll see 🤷‍♂️

I played the port on the PSP many years ago.

I really enjoyed the game (2nd disk and all) and understood the aspects MonolithSoft brought over to Xenosaga.

I wished a remaster would happen but from what I've read online, no one knows who owns the rights (not sure on the accuracy of this)
