There was a time when I loved anime. Eventually, the incessant pedophilia got to me. There is a point when fan service goes too far. Only in an anime can it be contrived that the salvation of the world is dependent on the sex lives of teenagers. Does a world where #MeToo matters really need the image of another…

This makes me very sad. My daughter will be born in a couple weeks and the possibility that she’ll emerge into a world where Toys ‘R’ Us is ceasing to exist breaks my heart.

VR is cool and all, but until they find a way that makes it not hurt my already jack-up eyes without simultaneously scratching or bending any glasses I add to seek to minimize the pain, forget it. I fight focus and eye-crossing strain both. There’s still some technological development needed for me to jump on-board.…

Nova, Ido, Koyomi are Asian

Not to put too fine a point on it, but unlike what happened with Scarlett Johansson in “Ghost in the Shell,” that looks exactly like Gally in the manga “Gunnm.”(F- you to the so-called fans who don’t know her actual name or the actual name of the manga.) And, no, it isn’t classic ‘90s since this manga is still being…

“Pushing that expectation aside, the live-action Fullmetal Alchemist is a satisfying approximation of the anime’s spirit and standout plotlines with some very impressive special effects.”

And, if you’re in the media, whatever you do, DO NOT NAME THE SHOOTER. For lack of any better way to deal with these incidences, report on the scene, say what happened, but do not surface the shooter’s name! These people should not be identified for their acts because the fame of being identified is a part of what…

Your modesty will never protect you.

I think that this demonstrates one of the big problems with current “e”sports. Unlike sports with broad appeal, these tournaments and teams are much more like rec-center sports than they are like mass media sports. The difference is a simple thing: in mass media sports, the teams are tied to an abstraction that allows…

When anchored in orbit around a moon, they will be able to fire earth-shattering lasers into the surface of the planetoid. A powerful tractor beam attached to the structure will then draw the broken section of crust into space, where it will explode into a temporary asteroid belt full of useful ore.

“saying anything...” what the hell is wrong with the edit button here?

Ugh, the publish button got hit before I had the post set as I wanted, and then I changed my mind about the usefulness of saying anything.

“TL;DR: a little less focus on “Take Me Home Tonight” and a little more on connecting with people. It may not be as immediate as trying to get a hook-up in a dingy club bathroom, but you’ll have a better success rate… and better sex overall.”

In my opinion, Musk’s success places him in a position where he can never really be told he’s wrong without an extremely graphic failure. At this point because his head is so swollen, he can pretty much say any old science fictional thing and people will nod along and “yes man” him.

In my opinion, this goes to show why Esports can’t really be considered sports. There is no way to nerf reality... either you can do something physically or you can’t: in Esports, the dev can always step in and redefine reality. Where’s the accomplishment in that? Whatever anyone attains is always dependent on what…

You don’t have to tell the audience everything about your plots. But you damn well have to know yourself.

This sort of thinking always drives me nuts. “Creatives” are so proprietary of their conceptualization of being artistic as a central facet to their identity that they more or less completely steal the facts of creativity from a lot of people. If you’ve never dealt with high quality scientists, you have no concept of…

Of course no one wants to touch him: Kaepernick would rather be known for his political ideas than his football skills. He shot himself in the foot by bringing his politics to the field and the simple fact is that since your politics align with his, you’re overlooking that he went out of his way to not do his job. Go…

I really don’t understand why anyone is playing this game; for a story game, it is so thematically screwed up that it doesn’t even make sense. Is there any reasonable character who would be happily snapping selfie-pictures in the midst of armed combat during a real war, let alone another being the son of a deposed…
