Let's just call everything "Dessins animés" (Des-inh Ah-ni-may) (Lit. Animated drawings in French) in English and be done with that controversy. So when someones asks you whether or not an animated show is an anime, just answer in a fancy manner "Yeah, it's a dessin animé." and look at the confusion in their face.…

Those guys even make North Korea look friendly.

The title should've been "Fuck You Pikachu!", if you've got a long memory you'll see why.

Well in the first tweet post, I see white-blue and dirty-gold.

You see hate in every word I say, stop your paranoid BS. No man ever created anything, but they do transform everything, something doesn't need to be created to be new. I study engineering and I spend my days in design blogs and culture blogs, yours is a gross mischaracterization in a goal of ad hominem attacks. If…

No man ever create anything in the natural world, it's the law of conservation of energy and mass: nothing is ever lost or created everything transforms.

Max Payne 3 was intense, even though you ended flying around every time you wanted to shoot something. (jumping gave you bullet-time for free)

You're totally deluded if you think that property is not a social invention. If something is yours it's because me and everybody else agree not to mess with that thing without your permission. We codified this into laws, as social contracts. Of course you could argue that a thing is yours because you'll beat the sh*t…

I paint weapon in a negative light because they're more often offensively rather than defensively, the tool itself is not really the problem, human nature is.

A weapon is neither bad or good, even if I painted them in a negative light, but that's their definition hurting/physically impairing humans/animals as a primary use. In defensive architecture the designer is weaponizing architecture if the first thing in his checklist is "keep the 'vagrant' out, through…

Well, one could argue that a fence can be designed to keep stuffs in (aka animals), or for privacy, or for decoration, and not really against your neighbour. If your fence is a barbed wire and you don't use it to keep your cattle in but to defend your trenches, then your fence is definitively a weapon. Also in the…

When you design something against people it's called a weapon.

They would be right at home in 1960's instagram.

I often have the impression that game developers have that kind of thought process when it comes to black characters (skip at 18:48) :

Well, Jaden is awkward, Spider-Man is awkward; it could work. Or be he next biggest box office bomb since Hiroshima.

They don't have to recast Spider-Man, seriously, the average movie-goer has the memory of a goldfish. Hell, MCU did movies around the quality of ASM 2/1 with Iron Man 2/3 and The first Captain America who were ranging from ok-bad to ok. Unless they re-cast Peter as a non-white dude I don't see the point. ASM 2 wasn't…

if it's true it'll probably be a "the hero has been defeated, a group of ragtags follow the clues he left behind to destroy the great evil"-thing for it to work.

Well, it's a good thing that English is such a whore. It makes the language dynamic, adaptive, if you look at French and its putain d'Académie de langue française, with its stupid neologisms proposed in a vain attempt to save the language from its current moribond state. You can see that language purity is only good…

Well, you're not as restricted as you seem to think. You play your own version of Geralt the way there's your own version of a character in a novel in your head, except that you have even more freedom. You're not living the story like in many other wish fulfilment RPGs do, you're actually telling yourself a story like…
