Aw man... DVD-only? Thanks for gettin' my hopes up.

There has got to be some sort of contractual snafu preventing a Blu-Ray release.

This is a mid/late 2010s title that streamed in full HD, and yet still to this day it has only gotten a DVD-only release.

There has got to be some kind of contractual shenanigans preventing a BD release.

Decided to go down the vibe-coding rabbit hole despite minimal coding experience.

Hardest part was just getting started. Get a Linux VM, find the right app dependencies, link folders to my Mac... then ponder where to begin.

Kinda fun once I got going. Though what I'm making is likely insecure AF.

thinking back to the comment I got about Let's Anime that asked if I was ever going to make videos for the people who don't like to read, and my reaction is to never, ever, do anything, ever, to help "people who don't like to read"

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

First time having this happen, when actually possessing full confidential internal knowledge, is like a cognitive out-of-body experience.

You go back and you remember delicious shit you talked about all the companies and their staff before, and you realize.

Oh no – the universe does keep grudges.

Ever been in a situation at some joint where a dude's at a table across from you blindly staring at their phone, yet not realizing they've aimed their camera squarely at you?

I'm sure it was lack of awareness on their part, but I'm just a boring dude yet even *I* felt creeped out. Ladies, I get it.

So I just got a statement from California AG Bonta's office:
"Paramount/Warner Bros is not a done deal. These two Hollywood titans have not cleared regulatory scrutiny — the California Department of Justice has an open investigation, and we intend to be vigorous in our review"

Hollywood isn't happy about the new Seedance 2.0 video generator | TechCrunch Hollywood organizations are pushing back against a new AI video model called Seedance 2.0, which they say has quickly become a tool for “blatant” copyright infringement.

Article cites a convincing fight scene involving Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt made via just a simple two line prompt.

Hollywood is kinda cooked.

Kino's Journey Complete Collection SD | Sentai Three days. Two nights. That's how much time Kino and Hermes allot to each new place they visit before drifting off again, crossing a mysterious land filled with mystical sights and strange customs...

Did anyone grab Sentai's re-release of Kino's Journey 2003 that came out last week? It's their first SD-BD in years, so I'm curious if it's just the same exact thing as the prior release in 2019 or if it's a new encode.

Try installing Mojave (10.14) with a USB installer and don’t connect it to WiFi or Ethernet until after you’ve completed the first time setup. Then incrementally upgrade to newer OS versions.
