truly revealing that when Cyberpunk launched in 2020 and was being (somewhat rightly) dunked on for bad performance etc.,

one of the key points people were bringing up were these super cute LOD sprites

failure of culture, fix your hearts etc.

I like it, but from my limited listening comprehension the JP dub is distinctly more "fantasy anime" rather than seeming to aim for a period feel. don't have the original JP script to compare and see if they did significant tonal adjustments to account for the lines being voice-acted.

it was said by someone like half a year ago that learning how to deliver passable if not good work under both immense pressure and short notice is actually an important part of the college experience and an incredibly useful skill and the person who said that was right

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

'Night and the City' by Chris Donlan remains one of the finest online articles on game urbanism ever. Somehow simultaneously personal, historical, and objective it is an excellent read, and a reminder that L.A. Noir remains truly unique.

An acquaintance is looking for current foreign language teachers to fill out a survey for her PhD research. Even sharing would be a big help.

Original post / full details in the ALT text.

Survey Link:
forms.gle/xbZFMRMT1tAT...

I'm Pilar Gutierrez. I am a former Mie JET and dispatch worker, and currently a direct hire. I'm currently undergoing my Ph.D. program at Sophia University researching the role and experiences of foreign language teachers in Japan. My study looks at how diversity, teaching practices, and internationalization are shaping our work in schools.

I'd love to hear from you-whether you're with JET, BOE, dispatch company, or direct hire teaching K-12. Your insights are invaluable in helping paint a fuller picture of what it means to be a foreign language teacher in Japan today.

I'd like your support with:

Take a short survey (about 20 minutes)

OPTIONAL: A follow-up online interview (60 minutes)

Participation is completely voluntary, and everything you share will remain confidential.

Survey link: https://forms.gle/xbZFMRMT1tAThgjn6

Please share this with other current Foreign Language Teachers — every story adds to the bigger picture!

Deadline: December 31, 2025

Questions? Email me at guttierez@eagle.sophia.ac.jp

Thank you so much for considering!

In Japanese the exchanges between ramza and delita sound a ton like Izuku and Shigaraki from MHA (aided by the fact that Delita is also voiced by Uchiyama Kouki) and i think it works, esp for young naive ramza

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

Anime styled graffiti art on a train car depicting a male demon looking seductively at another man while saying "That's a good boy", with the phrase "kiss yr homies goodnight" in the bottom left corner.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war
