Even the little logo kinda looks like an ass. They knew what they were doing…

What if I can’t get it up with both though?

For real though, isekai for me is like an instant pass nowadays. I don’t mind fantasy anime, but the “hurr durr I’m a highschool loser that died and woke up in an MMO world” has to be the most creatively bankrupt genre of modern anime/manga and I really don’t understand the appeal, especially when 90% of them are just variations of generic Dragon Quest tropes. You can make escapist fiction without having to resort to beating a dead horse that has been dead, buried and decomposed for at least a decade now.

And now that I think about it, do these isekai animes and mangas even sell that well to justify making so many of them? There’s no way Japanese audiences aren’t also getting sick of them to at least some extent despite how many of these still keep getting made.

He further criticized modern anime for incorporating game-like elements without logical in-universe explanations.

“Recent anime works will show things like a level-up gauge that appears when characters tap the air, even though there’s no in-setting reason for them to have a personal interface like that. I may just be getting old, but it really makes me wonder: ‘What is going on here?’ It just doesn’t work for me.“

I couldn’t agree more. It just goes to show how little thought and care is put into the setting and world building of these shows, there’s no craft behind most of these, they’re just following trends it feels like.

No? If they’re both consenting adults, I don’t see the problem. The age gap might be somewhat awkward, but there’s nothing inherently wrong with it.

Not being stuck inside of an echo chamber really does wonders for the brain. And yes, I know the irony of saying this on Lemmy, but it’s true.

Starfield was so forgettable even Bethesda already forgot about it.

I don’t think they’re that dumb, I can see them making their own launcher with PS+ sub to get free games or something like gamepass, but locking online play behind a paywall on PC sounds too braindead even for them, it’d be an even worse PR suicide attempt than Epic’s exclusivity shenanigans.

That is amazing! It’s a toy car in human size LMAO!

Rare based move from Nintendo.

I’m not sure if you’re being serious or not, but the the Antichrist was obviously supposed to be a Roman Emperor, how Christians can’t figure that out is beyond me. Hell, most of the New Testament is anti-Roman propaganda from a Jewish revolutionary viewpoint.

“Secondly, we do not want pages on works that depict sexual activity” between younger characters.

Which is why nobody should use laws as a measure of morality, because they’re often fucking stupid.

Low effort bait.

Except for Nintendo, they’re still just doing what they’ve been doing for the last 20 years, releasing consoles with outdated hardware and relying on gimmicks to sell them, at this point they’re not even trying to compete anymore, Valve is a stronger competitor for Microsoft and Sony than Nintendo nowadays.

PC gamers keep winning, baby!

Wow, they’re really burning down all of that good will, huh? It’s like a car crash, you can’t help but to keep looking at it.

Pretty sure they’ve already tried to kill the guy at least a few times by now. I know I would if I was Putin.

Caligvla, 14 days ago

… No? Assassination has the goal to kill, a war has the goal of conquering or driving back someone else, deaths happen but they usually aren’t the main goal. Large scale assassination would be genocide.

Not gonna lie, it’s stuff like this that discourages me from reading currently releasing series, for all you know it could always end up as Berserk, with the end in sight but never closer. Because of this I mostly like reading mangas/comics that are already finished nowadays, I hate cliffhangers.

Headed?

Oh boy, I have some news for you.
