He's right, pattern recognition is getting disturbing... because people like him become less media literate by the post.

I only interact with Grinda on here, but she has been nothing but the sweetest. Also checks out because you just thrive around and draw in nice people.

I watched them launch a Vanillaware game on Steam for me at the Marvelous JP office and then handed me a controller to play it.

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

The odd desire to just sketch random Yu-Gi-Oh! cards hit out of nowhere.

I'm glad that I'm not crazy in feeling this way.

^THIS! Engage is a fantastic gameplay experience. But the cast and story leave basically no lasting feelings.

Do I know any games media people who enjoy highlighting charity/non-profit/good causes to donate to during the winter holiday window? Might have a fun interview opportunity for the right person.

I'm less sold on RSE happening before Pokemon Day, but damn if this wouldn't be a good time for a new WW trailer and the Colo drop.

Remember when Crunchyroll tried to make their subtitles significantly worse a year ago? They backtracked on it at the time, but I suspected they were just delaying their plans to shift from Aegisub to OOONA, and sadly, it seems I was right: Crunchyroll is actively pushing OOONA subs to users now.

Screenshot of Crunchyroll English subtitle metadata for #I'm Looking For a Zombie episode 1, showing "Exported from Ooona Tools" and "Internal Delivery"

All today has shown me is that pirating is about to become even more popular thanks to big company being owned by bigger idiots.

Judging AI by everybody put out of work, who still have a job but that job is worse and making them miserable, who get accused of faking their work because nobody can trust anything anymore, etc. Silly stuff like that

The problem isn’t that they’re moving past it—it’s that they’re trying to rehabilitate it. Would be better for everyone if people who don’t want to engage with the facts just talked about the play on the field and left it at that.

This is going to come up, so uh: Websites have to be careful with what words they use and how they use them to avoid lawsuits. And to be accurate and fair in a situation.

I know this is being done with good intentions so I say it with all love: Dudes, when women are expressing fear and disappointment over a predator who was by all outward appearances safe and kind, that’s not the time to, how should I put this, humble-boast about how *you’re* one of the safe ones. ⬇️

Jacob Geller is no longer a part of MinnMax. He won't be on content moving forward and we won't be publicly airing this week's episode of The MinnMax Show. We're in shock and deeply hurt. Thank you for your patience during this sensitive time.
