Beware the groove...

Pokemon as seen in the games? Might be able to swing it. But the ANIME?

Japan doesnt have fair use, Sam.

Cut your losses, shut down the data centers, or you will single handedly cause the Second Japanese Economic Boom

See that "Shogakuken" there?

That's Shopro. They own the Pokemon anime.

Sam Altman, I will offer only this advice, not as a proponent of your work, quite the contrary, but as one human being to another.

Run.

Where there was once a stand alone story there is now a duology. The original and it's worthy follow-up. Now I just have to do this eight more times. 🫠 EASY!!!

Long shot but if anyone would be keen on last minute tickets to see METAL GEAR SOLID played by an orchestra tonight at the Royal Albert Hall at 7pm, let me know?

Partner can’t use his ticket tonight and if we can pass it to someone who can and can recover even some costs we’d like to

On the one hand, temp job is almost over.

On the other, who the fuck would be so vindictive?

Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason | Daiz.moe With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.

Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason
daiz.moe/crunchyroll-...

A ton of research and effort went into this one. This is the article to read to get to the bottom of Crunchyroll's subtitle changes!

Replies here will show up as comments (eventually)

Lowkey hate the term "invisible disabilities", cause like, my so-called "invisible" disabilities are not actually invisible at all, it's just that their extremely visible symptoms have instead been socially defined as personal failures, simply me being "lazy", "immature", "antisocial" or "pathetic".

there are probably a number of people who are pro-union but quiet about it on written platforms in an attempt to mitigate retaliatory behavior from paranoid employers. pic unrelated

Katie & Allison Crutchfield, MJ Lenderman, & Brad Cook Are Snocaps — Hear Their Surprise Debut Album We knew something was afoot, we just didn’t know we’d be getting so much of it so quickly.

Surprise — Katie and Allison Crutchfield's new band with MJ Lenderman and Brad Cook is called Snocaps, and their debut album is out now:

Just after 12am local time (8am BST) on October 16th 2025, Nevvie collapsed mid-sentence and never regained consciousness. Despite the best efforts of myself and the emergency services she slipped away rapidly and was pronounced dead within the hour. The LA coroner won’t be investigating the cause of her sudden death because “she was fat”. I am pursuing a 3rd party investigation and waiting for more information. This happened six days after our 16th anniversary, Nevvie was 47. Four years ago we lost our home to a fire. This year she lost her father while I was in hospital for emergency spine reconstruction surgery. Though it could be stressful she had a job she loved at Sega, a company she could be proud to be part of, one she helped to unionize.

RGG localizer Michele Howe (Neverwhere/Nevvie) has just passed. If you can, please share or donate to the fundraiser for a proper coronary report and final expenses.

Final Fantasy XII vets talk game localization - GameSpot PAX 2009: Former Square Enix localizers Alexander Smith and Joseph Reeder present the challenges faced when translating Japanese dialogue.

This is super old, but I attended PAX 2009 and saw this localization panel (this article describes parts of it). As far as I can tell, no video of the panel exists, but I remember really great insight on not just FFXII but also FFX and Phoenix Wright. Does anyone know if anybody filmed it at all?

The Video Game History Expansion Pack – Pitch your story Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project — a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...

It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.

Please share :)

Kyle gives great rockstar intros to the show's guests. I was super flattered by it when I was on, too.

HUGE THANKS to @strucci.bsky.social for taking time to chat with us about some of our favorite terrifying moments in games that aren't really presented as scary! We had so much to say about this topic it is reflected in how dense this week's episode art is 😂 💀 👻 ENJOY!

I had so much fun with this one! If you were ever traumatized as a child by Zelda, Ecco the Dolphin, or even the PS2 disc error screen then this is the episode for you.

Our Halloween episode is out! Special guest @strucci.bsky.social helps us understand why Sonic and Subnautica are just as spooky as Silent Hill in The Scariest Non-Horror Games!

WAIT VIVA PINATA GOT A PC VERSI--

Oh, Games for Windows. That explains it.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is brilliant Avatar: The Last Airbender is a remarkably consistent piece of storytelling that retains its quality from the first episode to the last.

For years, I didn't understand why my friend kept demanding I watch a kids show about a guy with an arrow on his head, and then I did, and now I understand.

With all the renewed interest in Avatar thanks to the upcoming @magic.wizards.com set, here's my take on why it's so magical.

in Demolition Man, Sylvester Stallone plays a supercop from the violent 1990s frozen in time and sent to the future. He winds up fighting a group of terrorists until he realizes they're just trying to steal food, at which point he refuses to continue attacking them

Don't forget this hot garbage they tried to sneakily roll out the other week
