Netflix forgoing licensing a song in favor of hiring a rapist producer to make a trap song where the chorus is "Steel Ball Ruuuuun" x4 with periodic horse neighs throughout is something I would dream of as a shitpost

Drakengard is a game where you do the same combo against enemies who pose no threat and have 9x more health than they should while a dragon goes "truly I have never bore witness to the type of darkness that lies in the heart of man. Who can say if incest is a good or bad thing?"

I'm kinda tired of people demanding a xenogears remake. The original is still playable, Soraya Saga is basically retired from games and Takahashi/Monolith is with Nintendo now. The ideas in Gears have all been explored in other ways in Saga/Blade. What more does anyone want at this point?

The Kickstarter hit the halfway mark! Unlanced trauma grows. And grows. And grows. It's bad enough in isolation, but what if it were to infect humanity as a whole? How big, then, could it grow? Join Whitewall on Kickstarter today - bit.ly/whitewallgn

A rant: in the 21st century, translation has been one of the industries where executives have been the most open and the most eager about vampirizing human labor to train the mediocre machines meant to replace it, so it irks me to no ends when I hear people say “this is where I’m okay with AI”.

Fun fact: "Reviewing an AI made translation" is more work for translators than just translating it themselves, because AI translations do not pass the sniff test beyond the most superficial. It's a loophole companies use as an excuse to underpay translators, and nothing else.

A con charging you a fee *to apply* is a scam and should be treated as such. I know we're all a little twitchy from being waitlisted all the time, but this is just a way for a convention to make extra coin and doesn't do anything to improve or fix the application process
