And, again, I fail to understand why sub purists are ALWAYS the ones who will be toxic on the subject. Without fail. If someone is going to get toxic on how they like watching anime, it will be someone on the sub side. That unanimity is so striking cause it's not usually so one sided.

Honestly the fact that we're treating daylight savings time like a moral issue and shaming and snarkily insulting people on one side or the other really says a lot about the need of humans to feel superior as a way of standing out.

Guys. They're clocks.

If you told Jon of 2007 that he was a she... well, you'd have saved yourself a lot of trouble branding wise.

So I guess world-souls create pocket universes around themselves that teem with life and their will. But then the Titans found Azeroth and moved her to the worldcore cause Aman'thul's a dick.

Though I think Tamers was where they were relieved of having to add comedy in some capacity, because that aspect does vanish from Tamers onwards.

And, again, most changes would have been at the behest of Bandai themselves. I would guess Bandai told Saban "make appropriate for kids in Western audiences" or something, hence added comedy and blunting alcohol references (though honestly really thinly).

I think it's the opposite actually. I watched the dubs back in the day, loved 'em. Still do. They weren't really "4Kids'd" that much and there seems to be a belief 4Kids was involved when they weren't. They aired it when they were Fox Kids, but all work was done by Saban of Power Rangers fame.

some "fine art" thing or whatever insanity people have in their minds. I love it, but it's a merch pushing franchise like any other big IP, certainly any other big IP from Bandai of all people.

I don't know why Digimon in particular seems to draw out subtitle purists. They often seem to be under some delusion that the dub studios are like knock-off cash grab people, instead of it being Bandai's idea to have the things dubbed and names changed and everything. Because Digimon is not...

When the god of water just casually rolls up to your dock.

@liberalca.bsky.social The social media bans implemented by countries like Australia on teens are actually a BAD thing and should be avoided. There's not a whole lot that can be done to legislate internet safety, but reducing companies' access to user information would be better than empowering them

Guess it's International Women's Day, so here's me acknowledging that. Don't really have much to say that so many others haven't. I will say this includes ALL women, considering how certain countries are trying to bullshit right now. Transwomen are women.

Artificial intelligence has been hailed as one of the most transformative technologies of the century. That may be so, but just not yet. In this episode, we take a look at a study that pits humans directly against AI for paid work. The results were surprising. Study here: https://www.remotelabor.a AI Fails at 96% of Jobs (New Study)

This video is well worth watching. It's a balanced, real-world look at the effectiveness of AI (across many disciplines, not just software dev) and its impact on work, substantiated by a well-designed study that actually compares UI to human workers.

I can't believe we still have the anti-gay stuff. I thought transphobia was the bigotry in vogue, but I guess the old stomping grounds can't be ignored entirely. Oh well, got plenty of gay content online, don't need it in coward movies.

Maybe you SHOULD make hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy. Parents being too lazy, cowardly and/or stupid to talk about sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, and so on isn't your concern Pete.

Don't drink the water! They put something in it to make you forget. I don't even remember how I got here.

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

Then don't pay attention to it dipshit.

murdered someone. Similar idea: it's nice that you're anti-AI and such, but using it still just means you used the result of hundreds of artists' work being stolen.

If you use AI in an attempt to take a shot against it or tech bros, or own someone who champions it, or any of that kinda thing, you're not actually owning anyone. You're just using AI. Like shooting a gun nut to prove how bad guns are. Like, yeah, the sentiment is great and all, but you still...

Y'all know blue cheese has the mold introduced during production right? It's not cheese just left out to get moldy.

There way worse shit companies do besides being overzealous with IP protection.

Sure, their filing of invalid patents and the bricking modded consoles things are bad, not denying that. But the former speaks as much to the USA's patent office being bad at their jobs as it does to Nintendo's legal team trying to make the claim. The latter is stupid, but niche.

Actually like the one good thing from Twitter these days is "media" being given a more gallery-like look. I do prefer those regardless, cause if I want to find a picture again, I don't want to scroll endlessly to loo.

Oh please, Nintendo's hardly the worst company anyone knows.

and what deserves to be destroyed. What deserves to stay is its use in science. What deserves to go is the stupid AI assistants and LLMs and generative shit.

There can be a financial bubble AND changing times. Video games were a bubble at one point, the Dot Com Bubble of course, and the real-estate bubble of the Bush era. We still have video games, websites and houses. There's an AI bubble, and when it pops it'll hopefully prove what deserves to stay...

I'm him, I been him, I will continue to be him.
