Signed an NDA but I don’t give a fuck anymore. I’ve been playing a secret test copy of Bloodborne II. It’s the worst game I’ve ever played in my life.

That's another masterpiece! A very breezy five hours. Amazing soundtrack. Paris, Texas will always be my favorite though.

Fantastic picks! I just went in yesterday and had a nice talk with a guy who was getting Eraserhead, Fire Walk With Me, and Lost Highway. Perfect Days is one of my favorite movies in years.

Wow, very cool to see that Tsutomu Takahashi will be attending Manga Barcelona. I've been hoping for English releases of any of his series for a long time. I've got some Spanish and Japanese versions of his books. Astounding art style. Love his episode of Manben.

And I'm so glad it is. I normally bristle against a publisher having a "house style" font (partially because it's always Wild Words). But Ask for Mercy is a fantastic, malleable fit for the variety of art styles in the books you publish.

It was so funny seeing it with my dad and his takeaway was "that was okay, I guess" and mine was "it's hilarious how super clearly at least one of the writers played Metal Gear Solid 1 and V"

Me every time I enjoy a French movie: "wow, I enjoyed that even though they were speaking French"

hearing reports out of Japan that Tatsuya Nakadai has passed away at 92. RIP to a legit legend.

i love this quote and earnestly think it is one of the most beautiful and resonant things ever said about why we make art as people and what it means to live and share.

and also, i think of it every time i instead of that choose to watch 15 youtube videos in a row

A vinyl record sleeve of the album T. Rex by T. Rex. The outer slipcover with the art is missing, but a logo has been drawn with ballpoint pen. The name Ray Schmidt is written in cursive in the lower left corner.

Thank you Ray Schmidt for lending your artistic talents to this album when the slipcover got lost.

I was feeling that too! It's a fun kind of story to build a comedy around.

Lego Hobbit on PS3 is a top-tier choice of game to showcase a cabinet like that. Game they made with heart two of the movies in there, and the dlc of the third was never released.

Yes is one of my favorite bands, no question. Incredible seeing them live. Steve How is an absolutely amazing guitarist. A wonderful night.

For sure. Saw them in 2015 at the Iowa State Fair, with Toto as the opener. First set of tonight's show was fantastic. Steve Howe is so damn good.

people measurably don’t want to pay for AI-generated content. you can’t grow a business off of a product no one will pay for.
you don’t need to be an AI skeptic to understand that using AI like this will kill your business.

If you don't want gen AI in your manga, anime, game, and light novel translations, now is the time to make your voice heard. Write to your favorite publishers and developers and ask if they are incorporating LLMs into their process. And most importantly, tell them you will vote with your dollars.

i simply do not purchase anything that says it used AI in its creative process and will forever be suspicious of companies that use it. breaks consumer trust immediately!

My favorite thing is committing changes and then realizing an edge case that wasn't hit while writing up my changes.

My sister just had this issue last weekend. We were able to fix it by doing a complete backup of her phone to her computer and then restoring from the backup. It flushed a ton of temporary files.
