Story of my life. ;)

Question: Is there a reason to have a microphone at all? I thought Nintendo’s solution to cross game chat parties is some smartphone app. 

I’ve come across this question in comment sections a lot yesterday. And thinking of my own company (about 50 people, so not too far off the size of KyoAni’s studio 1) I must say the same thing could happen here as well. While there are several windows which could be used as fire exits in the ground floor, there is…

Thank you for writing this. Kyoto Animation is my favorite studio of all time. Their company philosophy to “value people” and “promoting the growth of people is equal to creating the brightness of works” not only shines through in their animation quality, but also makes them one of the few positive working places in…

Sadly my newer post didn’t get as much traction. And thanks to Kinja’s comment system it never will.

According to twitter user ultimatemegax’s translation, a nearby shopkeeper told Mainichi News that she heard a young woman cry out “some stranger spread fuel and lit it! Help us!”.

That person clearly was just a lunatic.

It’s possible, but unlikely if you ask me. KyoAni is one of the extremely rare studios in the industry, where animators get hired as salaried employees who aren’t paid per frame. That also affects their animation quality greatly. KyoAni is also one of the rare studios, which picks and produces their own projects. So…

Only yesterday I was talking to a co-worker how much I loved KyoAni and that they made most of my favorite shows of all time. I spent a little time after that re-watching some of their show’s intros, recommended people to watch A Silent Voice and sunk into a nostalgia trip with the memories that studio gave me. It…

In the late 90s there was this strange trend for Fingerboards. I was guessing that’s where the hand came from.

Yes, good point. While scrolling through the list, I was constantly thinking that all these games either got ported or even got sequels or spiritual successor which are just better. While this is just natural for most old consoles (and great), it’s especially apparent here. 

The conversation around the film will suck so bad. With both conservatives and liberals not listening to each other’s arguments, but immediately writing the other side off as dumb. Only coming up with the worst possible examples for arguments from the other side.

That thumbnail is horrible. Q_Q Poor Totoro... 

From what I heard during the boss battle, I’d say original sassy Cloud is finally coming to the west. ^^

I can totally relate to this.

The most quality stuff in Dreams is actually original. It just doesn’t get as much attention.

While phishing bots are indeed a big problem of today with all the community stuff we have, that’s hardly a thing that would sell consoles. It’s a problem that would have to be solved with more moderation, better bot-recognizing software and sadly, with stricter policies who can send whom messages and so on. But that…

Actually I’ve heard about at least one professional team, who is currently making a game in dreams which will later be sold as a stand-alone thing on the psn store.
