I mean... Does it really change anything why he joined? Mao Yenrai took him and Vicious in as kids, they stated that in Episode 5, Ballad of Fallen Angels. Like most mob stories. Organized crime is always just tempting kids in to have bred in loyalty.

Ein was just an animal experiment. That's all there is to that. He wasn't a chosen one or anything. And Ed found herself at the orphanage because her dad was obsessed with work and forgot about her. So she just wandered and found a place with other kids and free food, per her own admission.

Alright update on this... As now they have completed all the stories in this. 100% content released. Finished the 7 stories, as they just finally released the final chapter of FF7 proper. Shame the servers are going down on Oct 7. All of this will just vanish then. Charming take on the series too.

Some stuff is inferred. Like meeting people in real life you can just KNOW they saw some shit, without having to have them tell you details on what they've lived. Meaning you don't need to see how someone is broken to understand that they are, and that's the important part.

Actually it improves the fps...

Just another weave in the dumb tapestry that is this timeline. Hardly even notice it at this stage.

Either complete ragebait, or further evidence that the new gen has trash tastes... Reasons include: •it was made in the 90s •the episodes are self contained •series is multi-genral •characters are unrelatable •some lore not explicitly clarified to excruciating detail Smdh

CBR - 8 Reasons Cowboy Bebop is unwatchable

That's the problem. Infastructure sucks. Should have buses, trolleys, railways. Ya know, like every other civilized nation.

If only we didn't rely solely on private automobiles as our acceptable commute...

The Dunedain canonically don't have an anus so this isn't true.

Just giving these pro-tips out for free?! How socialist of you!

"why would I replay something I know I love to play something new and oft regarded as being lesser?" Life's short. Play what you like. New experiences are a gamble.

I wouldn't mind less vivid or startling dreams once in a while. Sleep is just not a skill I was gifted with it seems though.

Dynasty Warriors 3 Remastered drops this week. I'm so giddy for this ^-^ (Note, they kept the original dub... Which is pure performance art, in the best late 90s gaming way possible)

This being stock PCs these days is wild to me still. Super out of touch with that scene

It's Nier Automata lite... Which was made by Platinum Games, so this checks out.

Definitely lacks the whimsy that the NES or even the Atari console did. Bummer because I would have loved a proper treatment here :/ (Their Sega Genesis is equally awful)

That's where I was with the Pokemon badge set. It was the only thing I wanted from their launch.

Any argument being made claiming to represent all instances of something as broad of a topic like this can only be covered in generalities, not absolutes. Outliers exist, but enough evidence is out there to suggest this is a common approach. I've seen it first hand numerous times, "make 'em sweat".

I was frustrated with that too and was beginning to ramble about it before I just decided to go to bed instead. I can think of a handful of anime that belong in a top 100 easily from a writing and character standpoint alone... But no, let's put both versions of The Office on there and Louie on it...

Weirdly didn't click with BotW, forced myself through it. Started up TotK three months ago and now I just finished it this week with like 170 hrs played 😅 Game was amazing.

Will have a spooky podcast drop on Oct 20! Well, discussing a spooky game and it's super unsettling music.

Oh totally. All platforms have a solid 5 year shelf life before they're acquired and blow up with features, ads, paywalls, promoted accounts, and general garbage. Capitalism is why we can't have nice things.

000

Sadly the whole point of these companies is to generate value so they can sell it to a larger corp. This was the plan and end game the whole time.

SU is all about empathy above all else. It starts rough (for me) because the main character is 100% a naive child, but it quickly shapes up halfway through the first season. You learn life is complicated with him.

Yep. Just an edgy way to say mix-drink.

Have you watched Adventure Time and Steven Universe?

Millennial pause is costing us billions per year in productivity.

I feel like some social media platform should bring back the "my Songs" or whatever from MySpace. Like let me list 8 songs as my mixtape. Disable auto-play but let folks get a feel and a point to connect on. Beats any bio.

040

Which is why I recommend Zom 100. It's less about Zombies/survival/Walking Dead stuff, more about YOLO with your friends and spreading positivity. It's great

One of these things is not like the other 😅 Have you tried Zom 100? It's a banger

Maybe drinking from a hose is why folks don't know it isn't a brag. 😅

... NWA, all of Death Row Records, Eminem, Tool, Bikini Kill, etc. people used to be pissed off and vocal AF about it. Now we have Machine Gun Kelly, the new Vanilla Ice... And murmuring downspoken dark pop beats. ☹️

Say what you will about Gen X being a slacker gen, they still had the best "fuck off" music. Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, Alanis, Nirvana, RAtM, NIN. Now everyone is just making shit to vibe to. No one's angry anymore. My gen just got whiney cutter fuel.

Seth Rogen voicing Gosalyn is quite the choice.

Yeah... My interests from over a decade ago have shifted heavily. At most I'm hoping for an interesting soundtrack to listen to here.

Fucking wild. Backed a Kickstarter, funded in Sept 2013. Assumed they stole my money at this point. Now got an update showing their dev timeline... Preproduction started 13 years later (Jan), releasing 19 years after funding in 2032... Pending no other delays. Told Duke Nukem Forever "hold my beer"

Well, looks like your were right on most accounts. But yes, I just meant so Nintendo has competition. I don't like the idea of only one console on market.

Between MS hollowing out Xbox and Sony shooting themselves in the foot on physical media (in a world where memory prices keep climbing no less), I really wish a new challenger would enter the ring.

10 months makes a hell of a difference 😭🫠

Jesus. I didn't realize SD cards went through the roof on pricing as well. We live in a truly stupid timeline.

Perks of getting old, so much of this has slipped out of memory in the 20 years since I've seen it last 😅 Remembered more than I thought I would, but nothing I caught that I think I was too unlived to catch the first time. Still incredible vibes and soundtrack. I should watch SAC now...

Seeing anime in a theater is a great disconnect for me. Just gorgeous art crafted by people for my eyes and ears. Tonight was Ghost in the Shell (1995) and hyperbole aside about prescience - it's just such a fucking mood. Long slow pans and lingering shots on cities and neons. 🔥❤️ #cpDoesAnime2026
