I also like giant monsters and giant robots. Especially when giant monsters punch giant robots.

This is why I’m open about the fact that I’ve cancelled my CrunchyRoll subscription. If they’re not putting that money towards their talent or improving the quality of their service, then ethically I cannot see the purpose in continuing to give them money
actual quote from a language company executive: “Why should we pay for higher quality translations when people will happily pay us for poorer quality translations?”
"ai is going to take your job" was just the capitalists admitting they can give us trash and we have to take it

Hi, I'm a Christian and I'm not grossed out or consider this shit to be a sin, so which of us is right?
He doesn't get to use his religion to be shitty to other people. It just allows people to be shitty and then claim it's their religion.

Spoke to a number of devs about how, in the face of CEOs claiming gen-AI is the future, their declaration of being genAI free is making waves.

Yes, HID headlights are very bright but the bigger problem is the proliferation of gargantuan vehicles with 5’+ hood heights so that if you’re driving a normal sized car their headlights are at your eye level rather than seat level like they’re supposed to be.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

One thing I’ll always be grateful for is Kazuki Takahashi. His life. His work.
I will never have to think “oh that’s a shame” or separate him from the things I love about his creations.
He never let us down.
He lived a hero. He died a hero.
He will live on that way.

It's legitimately no longer fun to read mainstream Spider-Man. Hasn't been since OMD.
At this point either kill Peter off, make him a villain or *GASP* realize having him make a deal with the devil was a bad thing!
