I doubt there is going to be a Congress until after the midterms at least

All that would happen if the EN publishers used AI to translate light novels, is that they would have a much worse product that STILL would come out later than the serialized version, AND it would cost $$$--whereas the fan/AI-translated serialized episodes would be free and faster.

The idea that EN publishers would use AI for speed is hilarious, because most LNs start out serialized as web novels or published in magazines.

They're already pirated and fan/AI-translated by impatient fans long before the JP side even publishes them as novels.

unfortunately, this will not happen.

it will retail for $150, murdering the entire industry. it will be the best-selling, most profitable video game of all time. your coworkers will talk about nothing else for the next five years.

there are two wolves inside you. they are unaware of you, in any sense that you would recognize; to them you are the sunrise in the mist in the morning, and the cool moss on the warm earth in the night. the story of your life is the story of these wolves, and how they have run and hunted inside you.

I am not fucking joking when I say the English-speaking video game world would be nothing without GameFAQs. Everyone and their mom used it (literally, my mom and all her friends). If you played video games in the 2000s you probably knew GameFAQs in the same way most people know, like, Wikipedia

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information"

They want people to assume this means game info or assets.

But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to:

'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

If I was running for Congress, I would promise to appropriate money for USAID, b/c as far as I am concerned it remains an agency as no-one repealed the statute that created it in 1998. It blew my mind at the time that we were like, yep, sure, we will just close an agency without authorization.

there will be a new scene set in Tel Aviv where Tarantino turns to the camera and informs the viewer that Muslim children are not innocent

"It is with a heavy heart I announce the sale of my long term ape, Salazar" is a pretty good first line for a novel.

A twitter user named vydamo saying "it is with a heart I announce the sale of my long term ape, Salazar. Most of my early followers know me as this ape. My kids know me as this ape. I met my wife when I WAS this ape and had my first kid when I was still proudly wore this ape. By extension, it is part of me." "I travelled around the world with this ape in my pocket. We went to the most luxurious hotels, the craziest night clubs and the most serene beaches. We had it all. Unfortunately, what blur is doing to apes is frankly unacceptable. Since the creation of Blur, the ape floor price has tumbled from 85e down to 12e."

"I hope one day we meet on the other side, until then, goodbye." Attached is an image of a high bored ape cosplaying as judge dredd

"My kids know me as this ape"

the Canadian government should deport this idiot

This one filled my stun bar a little bit.

anyway

The key factor that everyone seems to always forget is that Trump was the host of what was once the highest rated show on network TV - a purportedly non-fiction show that portrayed him as a hyper-savvy and hyper-successful businessman.

thinking about how a lot of late 90's video games would get dinged for having "generic techno soundtracks" and then whenever I hear said soundtrack I'm like "hey this kicks ass I want ten more games of this"

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

We can all agree Rauru’s doing the kikoho, right?

My favorite comment on the FT story

facebook mom who has never heard a joke in her life but somehow knows what bluesky is

do umamusume sweat like humans, or do they sweat like horses

the idea of a furry character having to shave

they should do this in Pokemon too

Trans folks reading this: don't panic too much, the supreme court thing is about injunctions pending a larger court case

Cis folks reading this: Try to understand how terrifying it is to be a minority the government openly hates, and they start fucking with your ability to *leave the country*
