    I only liked it because I was off. Otherwise, I’ve always hated summer. I used to dream of having a fall or winter vacation instead. I didn’t have AC at home or at school growing up, so if I was going to be uncomfortable, just let me go back. I want to go to the zoo on a nice fall afternoon, not the second coming of Satan’s asshole.








  • Because we buy the games, the microtransactions, the cosmetics, etc. Even just one purchase multiplied by millions is a win for publishers. Whales and content creators fuel the cycle even more. Meanwhile, currencies get deliberately convoluted: you need stars for a pull, which require sparkle farts, which you can’t buy directly or in exact amounts. Out of sparkle farts? $14.99 gets you 6000—enough for three whole pills! Don’t worry, there’s a pity system, so the most you’ll spend is only $400. And then you’re left with 60 stars, and if you just had 40 more!

    You’re not forced to buy, but they make the grind brutal and a slog. If you’re really unlucky, it can even make actually playing the came harder. And as long as this system makes money, it won’t stop. Games are turning into storefronts with a mini-game attached. Good games feel like rare blessings, and creativity is often found only indie studios. Big teams have talent—they’re just not allowed to use it, their companies don’t care about that. Gotta make money, more money, all the time, forever, or you’ve failed.

    I say “they” like I don’t play a few gachas myself, but still.










  • No one’s mad at boobs, it’s just there’s a time in a place. It sucks when all the guys have creative costumes and the women have different colored underwear, or all these shots are just on chest, butt, or worse they put them in weird ass poses just for the shot. I’ve seen so many teens underwear in shows for literally no reason. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a scene focusing on a guy’s fat ass or jiggling balls just thrown in for spice. It’s not because women can’t look hot, its how women are filmed and designed for.



  • CATS

    Cats is not a complicated musical. All they had to do was animate it and get actual voice actors/singers. I’ve seen sketches for what I think was a Tim Burton sketch, and that would have been a million times better. I don’t know who looked at Cat’s and was like, “Yup, we need CGI.” It looks horrendous and sounds bad more often than not. The musical is already pretty out there, how much more fun would that movie had been if we had animators working on it. The creative visuals, colors, motifs. Not to mention a cat is a wonderfully complex animal to animate just because of how they move. That movie could have been a visual delight in part with the Spiderman movies if they let it, but noooooo. Let’s make a nightmare.

    I see what you mean, like “I made Nagataro darker to see dark girls cosplay.” but you’d think for something that seems geared towards ab English speaking audience that they wouldn’t use “tan” without italicizing it or something so we know to read it as a loan word instead of what it we would normally see it as. Especially since both versions are coherent sentences, but one doesn’t make sense if you don’t know the honorifics or if they’re even using them.

    Also, have literally no idea why I’m trying to “correct” what is likely a made up post 😂
