…oh, she hasn’t?! Then I second that! Go! Make her!

MediaOCD is where you get AnimEigo Discotek, Shout Factory/GKIDS has some good stuff, Sentai of course. The real problem is everything Funi and Rightstuf/Nozomi made is out of print, and that’s hugely devastating.

Robert’s Corner Store exists as an overpriced middleman. Things are dire, though.

You know, seeing that other journalist crowing about how Bluesky active users are dropping really had me down earlier.

I don’t know that this entirely fixes it, but it’s good to hear your paper is doing well!

…how could we be fooled when he’s honest and clear about his faith?

Why should I go to a place where people tell me I should be executed because I don’t hate trans people? What does it benefit me, exactly, to go to a place where whenever I express myself people describe how they want to murder me?

How is Bluesky more hostile than that?

This is one of the best examples of old William Shakespear's famous saying about the soul of wit: "Get a fucking editor, man"

Oh wow I had never seen the original. Yeah the edit is so much better.

if i had a nickel for every final fantasy game about a religious and political leader knowingly raisinghis child to die on a road trip reneactment of the gay road trip he himself took years before i would have two nickels

What AI book made you cry last year? What AI art moved you? What AI game makes you so excited you can’t stop thinking about it? Since you love it so much, surely you can give me recommendations.

And so it seem Anni will have to stand on a footstool or a ladder or something in order to look down on me, damn.

Four new anime blu ray sets, arranged in a square. From top left going clockwise: Casshern: Sins, DearS, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha: StrikerS, and Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead.

Anime blu ray haul, 4/18 arrived.

Honestly, yes, it is tragic. The things she described to me about how men have been to her, not *mean* just how she felt it was required, was just… difficult.

She just sounds outright asexual to me from all she said, but I don’t think she realizes that’s an option.

lol, when I got got a CPAP, I complained jokingly to the doctor “geez, a hundred years ago people didn’t have to sleep with a tube blowing air into their face,” and without blinking she said: “nope. back then, they just died”

Sorry, this is 3 days old. Forgive me.

If you made it out of childhood a lot of people made it to their 50’s.

Almost none made it to their 70’s. Like, it happened obviously. But if you didn’t die in war or childbirth like half of you made it to 55, the rest died of, like, appendicitis or tooth abscesses.

It's almost time for Ramadan, as Muslims tonight peered to the crescent moon to see if the month of Ramadan starts tonight or the day after. As with every year, I'm starting this thread so that people can ask questions, and learn about Ramadan from one person's perspective of it.

you should write because you love your story so much that it's all you can think about, and you should also get so pissed off at a video game that it makes you write a novel

Felini’s 8 1/2 is basically this, great movie about a director who has nothing. No movie. No idea. Everyone is looking at him to get started. He manages things so badly his wife and mistress are at the same hotel. It’s incredible.

…in 2010?! Taboo to shoot digitally IN 2010?!!!!

Sometimes when starting a new project, the entire first day is getting a few lines, a few small things *started*, at all, just the prep work of beginning in its own right.

Once it’s started, it comes faster for me. But that first day, it’s work just getting something down at all.

I use the phrase “the tyranny of the blank page” for a reason.

As a small kid I watched my mother try Super Mario Bros., die at the fist pit, and never play a video game again.

She may have been half-assing on purpose because she didn’t want to play in the first place but was humoring her five year old, however.

Oh of course, I am very happy she told me the truth because the alternative is kind of a nightmare scenario for me lmao

The joy of commentary and analysis of stories is not the story itself, but sharing it and what this new person takes. Because you learn about THEM. It says more about them then the work, in many ways, and that’s the only way a work can matter anyway. It’s always only conversation, expression, joy.

Ahahahahaha

2/2 it was necessary to get it over with, offered to have sex with me. She seemed confused when I said no. It was sad, that she felt she had no choice but to *do* something she so clearly didn’t want.

I had a potential partner last year explain to me how she isn’t that attracted to me, doesn’t enjoy sex and in fact dissociates during (she didn’t use that word or know it but described it) and hopes it gets over with asap, wants to *have* a partner but not be *with* one, then, because she felt 1/2

Indeed. It’s depressing as hell to think of. I like my job, I finally found a good one, and I have even posted some writings that garnered 30k views, but man…

No because straight people are taught they Must Be In Relationships and Must Have Kids, and it’s normal to hate your spouse.

We aren’t okay at all lmao.
