I’d keep in mind, having a problem with pronunciation is how UK actors have found massive employment gains. As screwball as it sounds, the British fans will tantrum about bad American versions of British accents which tends to result in UK actors mostly filling those roles now (because it’s easier for them to find and…

I generally stay away from Manga (not a judgement, but like with Comics/Books and Films I find constantly knowing the source screws with my enjoyment so I do read, just other stuff) but it is interesting to me how consistent Shonen Jump has been in finding concepts that really, really work.

I think ultimately io9 has always had this specific problem as it comes to the intersection of queer identities and the greater genre/geek culture diaspora. io9 generally writes for the general audience often enough that it can seem inviting to a larger group than just the LGBTQ nerd. I don’t know, but I don’t think…

You’re hitting on why many people take specific complaints about the system with a grain of salt.

I hope Shitani-san gets the call for another season. You can tell how the Anime industry tends to spit out it’s old VA’s so if they’re doing this it would be nice to see that the original VA is treated fairly.  Especially when the voice is so intentionally irritating and I’ll be honest I sort of have a pet peeve of…

I’d like to see the legal complications that ensue. Given what the WWE forced other wrestlers to do in terms of Social Media and Youtube, are we going to see some lawsuit about his channel later? Are other wrestlers going to sue because those WWE stipulations weren’t in their original contract but then after the WWE…

I have this question too, especially when I see that or latinx specifically applied to people who would not use that identifier if you asked them.

Never watched it. Low brow reality has never been my thing (for those it is, love what you love.)

Liberal/Leftists believing that conservatives can’t work past cognitive dissonance is the problem and that theoretical leftist thought is sufficient for policy making is the problem.. The right has the Supreme Court and they will reshape America while they have that opportunity. Joe Rogan or the Barstool Sports guy…

Because wtf are we supposed to think at this point? Those of us who were in it every election and knew the stakes, all we can get out of this is “I told you so.” That’s not what any of us wanted.

The problem is going to be trying to enforce the idea of the Supremacy clause when even liberal groups have been making copious use of bypassing it through things like Medical Marijuana. When I was grewing up, I knew the Supremacy clause was a friend. That didn’t stop my generation from basically dismantling it…

In 3D, you can’t both be moving extremely fast AND have good control. In order to do that, you’re probably creating something with Dark Souls level of difficulty.  Like yes, it’s snappy and responsive but you have to do it perfectly and even then, you’ll get it wrong most of the time.

Although I basically said upthread that a 3d Sonic game doesn’t work.

The problem is the speed element. As a concept, speed works in a 2d environment because even at maximum speed there is a visual perception of incredible speed without disorienting the player and more or less the player doesn’t become the weak link by failing to control properly.

Or just ignore fan opinion.

It’s a bit of a Kotaku/io9 trend if I’m being honest. I’m not really Cyberpunk’s biggest fan, but a part of the author’s statement can almost be read as the “viewer” is too stupid to pick up messaging if they are not clubbed over the head with it.

In a legal sense who wrote it isn’t going to be as important as who said it. There might be a legal case there against the ACLU but since the ACLU didn’t actually say it, Amber Heard did I’m pretty sure legally she is still the correct party for suit.

That is also probably to some extent why pop culture moments don’t seem to happen the same way. Something like Star Wars could crowd everything else out because there wasn’t a substitute being released 5 minutes later. Everyone didn’t have Tumblr/Reddit/Etc. to OD on the topic after 1 month.

Have a cookie?

Honestly I thought it was weird he wasn’t mentioned.
