last time the US did this, we had 700k covid deaths because bolsonaro refused to get vaccines in time and before that, we spent 24 years in a dictatorship; our latest democracy is only 38 years old and it's being threatened once again we cannot let another bolsonaro be the president again

Which is to say, Angelique was already on the ground, laying down those foundations for otome games before Tokimeki Memorial fully took off with its PlayStation port, which didn't even arrive for another year after THAT. Koei didn't wait for Konami to prove romance games were commercially viable.

Something that's easy to miss in the history of Japanese romance games is that otome games weren't some later development after dating sims proved themselves. Angelique came out four months after the original PCE version of Tokimeki Memorial, making them and their respective scenes contemporaneous.

Cancel your Nitro TONIGHT. No excuses. This plan IS significantly less horrible than the one they announced in February, but it is still an age verification system you cannot opt out of. That 8s unacceptable no matter how carefully implemented. And they know it, hence the sudden rug-pull.

Everyone who says that the current war is inconsequential, police are not funded enough, that AI is an innovative boon, or flatly refuses to acknowledge that there is a recession or depression, economic or otherwise, always comes across as this.

This is the shit that really upsets me about AI. Not the apocalypse nonsense, but how it allows hacks to drown the world with garbage they "made" and trick people into giving them time and energy. It feels like the ouroboros end state of the attention economy and it sucks

i just don't think it's that important to have a term for "person who claims to be into the things i'm into, but doesn't know as much as me." what harm exactly does it cause you if someone else is kind of full of shit about, like, resident evil or something

you hear people talk a lot about how "LARPer" as a term for "poseur" sucks, and i agree. but then some people go "yeah, why don't we just call them tourists like we used to" and maybe the issue is obsessively interrogating other people's interests instead of minding your own business. not the term

When therapy teaches "you don't owe anyone anything" it's to understand "you are not others expectations of you" or "no one is entitled to your body or time" NOT you should be an antisocial ass to everyone This is meant to protect from those that would abuse your kindness, not an excuse to be mean
