A major karaoke service in Japan is LiveDAM, and usually on signs it just says “DAMカラオケあります,” and the joke from National Lampoon’s Vegas Vacation keeps popping up in my head like, “We have DAM karaoke! You can sing all the DAM karaoke you want!”

Republicans are child killers. Anyone who supports them supports child murder. And let’s treat them all as murderers… also, they all want the death penalty. GIVE IT TO THEM.

I’d make a case for this guy, but he just won’t shut up…

Omg this face… 🥰 I have to go to work Leo…

“Gene, we can’t make the woman in a low cut body suit have four breasts.”
“FINE. But make her mom super horny.”
“GENE!!”

The sad thing is Roddenberry’s ideas for TNG were even weirder.

“We have a new villain.”
“Uh huh…”
“They’re very greedy, like the antithesis to the Federation’s post-scarcity economy.”
“Great!”
“Also they have giant dicks.”
“EXCUSE ME?”
“And the counselor has four breasts!”
“😑😑😑”

Not surprised a service that supports militarized AI and ICE doesn’t know the difference between two distinct Asian cultures 😑

Advertising for ICE made me never want to go back I should say

I’m definitely taking a trip to second hand stores to buy up more physical media. Screw these streaming platforms (I dropped Spotify a long time ago when they started putting out AI music and advertising for ICE.)

Next make one of Kahless. We can all reenact a real shitty version of “Rightful Heir!” 😋

You also have to put yourself out there, and a lot of foreigners who come here are quite introverted in their home country, myself included. You really have to break that and actively make friends, because Japanese people aren’t really going to come to the random foreigner.

Is it this year we finally realize that Ziggy is an exhibitionist?

They’re gonna run all the samples and make crappy AI shit.

Those will be redacted as well. But when it comes to Trump’s brain, there isn’t much there to redact.

Nana is MUCH darker, especially near the end.

(Btw Hachi is a moron and ughhhh… Nobuo was better than Takumi entirely! Yes I am mad!!)

Going full “ZA WARUDO?”

1. Popular FG pick: Orchid - would play well with T8s system.

2. Different game genre pick: Sabin (FF6) - already basically a fighting game character

3. Other medium pick: Max, Dark Angel (cause I want to be Jessica Alba in that show)

4. Absurd out of left field pic: Foxy Roxy (cause why not 😋)

So don’t beat yourself up for not having the best backgrounds. Chances are those weren’t all hand drawn by the main artist either.

Reminder that a lot of manga uses stock tone backgrounds to fully rendered background settings (I have whole books with them) to make their work come out as fast as they need it to be. The industry uses a lot of shortcuts in different ways.

I have two games on itch that are kind of like this idea: One is Bowling x Action Score Attack, the other is RPS x Asteroids ☺️

takacomics.itch.io

The bowling one is kind of broken (it’s not been finalized because the latest build broke it so I never uploaded that version) but hey… it’s still fun!

I’m usually sticking to the same drink in that situation, often beer, so I just point to my empty bottle and gesture to order one more. 🤣

I was the opposite. I loved T2-T5DR, and then moved to Japan and played some TTT2, but then became very competitive with T7. I’d now done Japanese locals with T8 and I’m solidly in love with the FGC ❤️

Played since Tekken 2, but now playing Tekken 8. Love the series but hate the direction in 8 right now.

I also love when they’re concerned about the timeline, and Scotty is like “how do we know he didn’t invent it?” And yet Temporal Investigations was more mad about Kirk, not Scotty 🤣

Reminder that they had buttons on the consoles for all of the Trek shows, but TOS also had physical buttons and levers, not touch screens. (And floppy disks!)

Easiest “Marry, F, Kill” scenario out there. 😋

Picked up Planet Coaster 2 cause of the sale. I feel like Tekken is staring at me like “What gives?!”

We need to treat all Nazis the same way we used to treat them in 1940.

And those are the big groups! I’ve been to a ton of live events in Japan. Support local artists! ❤️

By Tour:
