Pinned
Well I need something pinned here, I do videos of the anime/ anime-related variety and here are random screencaps of various videos I've done, I think that'll be more cool than just me posting a link (all links in my bio tho, including if anyone needs any video editing, attached a playlist too!)
Seeing the different ideas that I had in mind come together is really exciting. It means I can do more wacky stuff like this for other vids but also apply this in other ways now that I'm more confident in executing it, it's also a lot of work putting together everything but, its fun

I've now seen it all. People usually see the "graphics" when describing anime. But has anyone ever seen someone describe an anime as AAA like they would a AAA game? Its just so funny how people get wires crossed when discussing things.

I don't think STEVEM has a Bluesky, if there is one, my bad, but, with the ongoing issues with CR, I thought this recent upload is very important, especially because, I'm sure most do not think about, or even are aware of such issues in CR. Truly an unfortunate company

For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art

Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

Seeing the same discourse pop up time and time again, and the only thing I can think is how Twitter should have proximity chat. Like voice chat so that when discourse pops up, if you want to discourse you have to join an open mic lobby and speak to another human being and reflect upon your humanity

I was sharing the last PMG feature to friends on the Microsoft case and I realized just how little sometimes these news features are to a general audience. Not just that one, that Microsoft helped a genocide, but also stuff like Roblox's criminal underbelly and weird exploitation

My real agenda is that if Yona can get a sequel after a decade, it's time to wish upon a star and say that we can get a sequel for Akagami, there's so much material and season 2 ends right before the next major arc.

But the real end goal is an adaptation for Colette Decides to Die

I've been thinking about trying out Yona of the Dawn every so often, but since I knew the anime was incomplete in comparison to the manga I've always thought, maybe I should read it.

Turns out my 1% gamble that it would get a sequel won

Now what else should I not watch/read gambling for a sequel

Steam recap chart thingy, my goals is to balance out my stat chart next time. The only reason its mega lopsided is because MTGA is counted as Turn-Based Tactics, which I guess a TCG is literally that, and I play a lot of Magic. Wheres my Rhythm Game TCG, that has to exist somewhere

Saw a post about someone who says ENG VAs don't put their soul into their work, which I thought, okay, this person is 12, then in a later comment try to defend themselves and say that they are in the right of "criticizing art," except in the same breath admit to ragebaiting and engagement farming

There's a lot to unpack with this statement, and the thread has not acknowledged calling VNs "american itch.io games," but I just think its so funny to refer to VNs as "american itch.io games."

Very good thread though honestly, a lot of great recommendations for these american itch.io games

I like browsing the "missing connections" posts on /r/anime, which are just people who can't remember the name of a thing they watched, and I saw one who asked for something they refer to as "nostalgic" and I'm like oh damn a show prob in the 1990s, nope, they remember it as a 2018-2020 show

Unrelated to the last thing I posted about vid production, is a completely different idea I've wanted to try, no hiding what its about, a vid on CITY, and the idea in my head for what I want to do with it is coming along well with these test shoots I think

"show reviewers like Moistcr1tical" are we cooked chat.

Also wait "its good" not because of anything THEY said, but because other people they see like it. They don't even defend it with THEIR own opinion. Are we cooked chat.

I have no issue with Charlie though, just thought it was funny

Took some time to unpack a few thoughts on Expedition 33.

Watching what I thought was a "pretty good" game get transformed into A Cultural Object has been disheartening.

So I have some thoughts on glitz, glamour, and respectability...

The post TGA fights are happening and its a wonder that people keep dogging on multiplayer games. These guys participate in massive multiplayer online pvp with complete glee, and doing it willingly with just imaginary internet points on the line.

Here's some TGA counter-progamming if you'd like, a sick thread about cool indie games.

I vow in 2026 to force myself to catch up on a bunch of these.
Okay, I'll make a thread of 50 indie games which I'll add to over the week, staring with.

1. Carimara

Play as a little goblin creature summoned by a witch to investigate what's haunting her cottage, it's a creepy bite-size mystery akin to the Frog Detective games, and has gorgeous visuals.

Me when I thought "MyGo" is the hard show being shown? No way, this is like the freest hard show "community score 824" alright nvm I guess this is the most obscure show that has ever existed
