"Everybody is twelve" is a good theory that I wish to integrate with the fact that we are constantly in front of inescapable cameras and people in front of cameras tend to act instead of just be

In this essay I will 1/734

Anyway for me this is the true spiritual successor of the ps2 God of war games, pure arcade experience with just the right amount of depth.
The roguelite elements are at their least frustrating ever too. Almost always bringing something home doing away with the eventual bad taste of an "empty" run

The fists were the weapon that made the game "click" for me. It went from game I was liking to game I was enjoying a lot as soon as I equipped them. Those paired with Athena's boons can make short work of everything (later I found out everybody already knew obv. But felt smart for a sec there)

Oh... Dude just doubted Mary
He's going to Aldo so badly

X has executives?

Lol it would be "perfect" yet, to my knowledge, it's limited to japanese media. Obviously one wouldn't censor greek/roman/norse gods but... It's weird

I should check but... In Marvel movies is Thor the god or the lord of lightning?

Coming soon: what to do if your daughter still thinks it's cringe and the address of some of the best re-educationals camps

For the longest second I feigned death as the chances it was Holy Mary chastising me were close to zero... But not zero

Thankfully was just a coworker from the office...

Off topic: the other day I was quarrelling with a particularly hostile machine when I suddenly invoked the mother of Christ in less than noble terms when suddenly a female voice behind me said:"Anche meno eh".

But if I say it at work everybody gets antsy 🤣

I didn't know/remember that
It's actually quite funny honestly

And also censorship works differently in diverse media
Television is always seen front and center and can be accessed randomly while buying something in a specialized shop or even in a newsstand requires intent on both parts

Adaptation/translation for the printed press has always been more accurate/true to the source

Both because it was handled by different people with different motivations, true to the original is a big selling point but also shows passion beyond the simple sales argument

Anyway nothing will ever beat "Il supremo"

True but it was (and maybe still is) one of the biggest taboo of every italian adaptation of foreign media (except, again maybe, from the US)
Even Gibili movies through Buena vista studios distribution tip-toe around it
Do they call it "God of the forest" in our adaptation of Princess Monoke?

The backwater approach we had to an entire generation of Anime is entirely fueled by the fact that importing was cheaper than producing and it killed our whole animation industry in the early eighties

It's so sad that many early stereotypes about anime were pushed by my beloved Bonvi

Orange road was... Oh god... È quasi magia Johnny is fundamentally a different product

It smashes the concept of adaptation and goes so up the way of a rewrite that e-hentai could have qualms tagging it as such

And then just dropped it as if nothing had ever happened, what was their plan? Here Anime (some of them) is a real part of a whole generation cultural background and yet the people who made it so also seem the least equipped to understand why

Better just rerun Lupin and hope for the best

I'm still mildly confused by what return TV execs were actually expecting

People randomly throwing money in their general direction?

More ad revenue?

Slightly later Mediaset would air just before (or immediately after? Don't remember well) the Simpsons OG Gundam redubbed and then Wings

I'll be honest, the thing I miss the most is that it was literally (for me) half a life ago 😅, ordering pizza with friends and enjoying anime, living the dream!

That said it's so weird that such a successful experiment (or so we were told at the time) didn't inspire any follow-ups!

Back when Italy used to be a proper country we'd get Inuyasha, Execl saga and Trigun on MTV and we called it Tuesday evening

And let's not forget they started it with Evangelion
and followed with Her circumstances

I still love this song so much
youtu.be/O9NCfO1dc6Q?...

This person here sounds exactly like the protagonist of a Twilight zone episode aiming straight for an ironic punishment

I have the same memory, mine was from a PCgamer cover cd

To think there was a moment in time in which it looked like Bluesky existed just to explain this concept to that Stencil dude
The effort he put in not understanding it at all was unbelievable

Nobody has ever been ready for Dante

The beautiful thing is that at least one actual charity told one comedian that actually went that they don't want their money because they aren't there to launder their soul or money

The OVA, not unlike the movie, is a good ova but not a good adaptation of the manga or of the characters.
It's well worth the time it takes to read it and witnessing Yukito Kishiro mature as an author with every page is a joy to behold

It happened to me with Disco Elysium, and it was weird because I really liked the writing and I should have been wanting to find more but, after a bunch of failruns that still felt like complete stories, the one that got to the end felt definitive. Afterwards I was just clicking around and I stopped

True that. We don't have any proof, yet. The conjectures are solid enough, there could be proofs of it easily discoverable, it would warrant an investigation BUT sadly the people that could and should investigate it are, apparently, allegedly, involved.
Nice mess, am I right?

It's the "elephant in the room" antivaxxers think that AI is smart and can understand metaphors. When they get the output they don't question it because unlike people AI is unbiased. They look at this picture and tell themselves: yes, that must be exactly what I meant when I wrote that prompt
