The last time I donated blood, I opted to do a red blood cell donation. It’s a longer process because a machine takes out your blood, filters it to specifically collect red blood cells, and then pumps the rest of it back into you. It took about two hours, so the donation center had a bunch of movies on hand that donors…

I mean, they don’t have to, they’re quite clearly making a profit from refusing take hard stances on anything. But it’s just... disingenuous and capitalistic. It’s profiting off of pain. It’s acknowledging that there are power structures in the world causing distinct segments of people to experience unfair hardship,…

I didn’t even think about the studio being preoccupied with a different project!

For anyone more knowledgeable than me in the anime industry, I have a question: why does it usually take a long time between Season 1 and Season 2 of an anime, but then subsequent seasons after the second are usually able to come out in annual/biennial windows? Is it something to do with securing the green light for…

Ubisoft just keeps using present-day problems as fuel for conflict in their games, then they do absolutely nothing to take a stance on what’s morally right. It’s like, they see the grief and pain experienced by people in the world, then feed on it to make money while absolving themselves of any defining message…

“Freedom Gundam”? After what they did to Hong Kong? Oof.

Designing vehicles, whether they be cars, planes, motos, tanks, space ships, etc., always feels like a foreign language to me.

Man, every time I see one of these kinds of shows, I just think of how much better they could be if they hired the announcers from MXC.

Right you are, Ken.

All these “but Pokemon” responses in here, without even acknowledging Digimon, Yo-Kai Watch, Persona/Shen Megami Tensei, Monster Rancher, Temtem, and *literally* every other pet battler out there like they aren’t beefy franchises with devout followings and strong game entries.

Truth be told, I actually had no idea this game existed, but looking it up, I see that it, in fact, did not flop.

I’ll admit, it sucks that MH:W can’t seem to run on the Switch (or, from what the devs say, anyway), but I already own it on PS4 and PC, and they keep pumping out free content like a team of champions. If…

That said, there’s one notable thing that wasn’t included in yesterday’s update: Functional online multiplayer.

But I NEED a Dodogama friend! NEED. NEEEEED.

I can assure you, if they make a “Monster Hunter, but for kids!” and it has cute, cartoony versions of all of the monsters, and you’re able to befriend them instead of just fight them, that I, a grown-ass 32-year-old man, will buy this game.

Heartbroken Surgeon:

First, Harris is hella right: the relationship is toxic. As someone who was in a longterm relationship that became toxic, I’ll second the notion to get out.

But, you’re feeling insecure about sex and sexuality, and lemme say, I was right there, too. I honestly didn’t feel comfortable with sex until…

Man, Pokemon is the perfect IP for a moba.

The thing is, “savage tribalism” is a racist stereotype. Placing European-centric races as the “good” and “civilized” races is a racist stereotype. Basically, Tolkien’s depictions of European vs. non-European races was stereotypically racist, and D&D derives a lot of its material from Tolkien-based fantasy.

Aside from using racist sterotypes as stand-ins for other races, they could also add more black humans to the mix. Same for any IRL nonwhite race.

I’ve seen talk around the internet about removing “Race” entirely and instead using “Culture”. Instead of gaining bonuses based on your character’s born race, they instead gain bonuses, languages, and other starting skills based on which culture they were raised in. Like, A) it removes the focus on “competition of the…

Said it in a thread last week, but I’ll bump it again: if y’all haven’t seen Moon, you really need to watch it. Go in blind, don’t read any synopses or reviews. It’s so good.

Nobody asked for this, but I wanted to find the wonderful music for the commercial and ended up going down a rabbit hole of music vids for the band behind the music. They’re called Aerial Camera, and most of their vids are all basically Wes Anderson + a home video camera from the 90's + a handful of goobers. They’re…
