its pretty funny to contrast corporate behemoth crunchyroll giving this half arsed treatment to the world's most popular anime against like Discotek painstakingly restoring lost materials for a mecha show from 1972 called Metal Robo Bajollocks that 2 guys are really excited for

Episodes 75, 80, 82, 92, 99, 105, 106, 142, 157, 159, 161, 168, 169, 172, and 178 all use the cropped footage from the much maligned Orange Boxes. To make matters worse, they've taken the 16:9 crop and then squished it to 4:3. Circles are now ovals... Fun!

okay the biggest thing i took away from this is that in spite of all the eidos stuff they jettisoned, Square Enix STILL owns Gex?! They got rid of Tomb Raider, they got rid of Crystal Dynamics themselves but they kept this little green bastard

british reactionary politics has a really long history of making a big deal out of things that don't really happen or barely happen at all and nobody with any reach (even their alleged political opponents) ever really challenges their assertions

TERFs have been lying for years about the "thousands" of children being put on "irreversible" treatments that weren't actually irreversible. And now we learn... it's less than 200. And the vast majority of them are 15 or over. t.co/gFLdSATYkv

It's honestly huge that Tim Stamper is showing off some of the stuff from his time at Rare & it's driving me nuts that people are treating him like some common hoarder because he didn't immediately release a fucking ROM

thinking about how the US video game crash is used to justify console lockouts based on the narrative that the crash was caused by a flood of poor third-party software, and yet the two games held up as being the shittiest and most disappointing were both in-house atari

just to save everyone doing the same reply again: fascism is an ideology and not a set of tactics and attempting to suppress that ideology does not make you "the real fascists" cheers

is there a reason why so many celebs who would generally like to be seen as liberal and pro-environment are hopping on board with this stuff? is there some NFT Guy going round all the hollywood sex parties shilling them to everyone?
