I don’t ascribe to the false dichotomy of “translation vs localization,” especially not in 2026, but it’s absolutely true that decades ago there were those who fancied themselves the real stars such that this anime/manga stuff was but a vector to showcase their “brilliance.” Stu Levy is one such guy
I’ve got a lot of strong feelings about the prevalence of music replacement in anime, but at least a lot of my bugbears are “just” kids shows.
But Initial D, a product you had to buy specially off the shelf, was especially egregious, lmao.
If you have never seen the Tokyopop version of Initial D, I don't think anything can prepare you for how fucking awful the music replacement was.
Remember when BuzzFeed once owned the biggest celebrity interview show on the Internet and the sold it as part of their grand pivot to AI? Yeah, these losers deserve to go down.

Several cutscenes will play in sequence.
$5 hit given the cost of the cartridge feels perfectly fine to get it all on there, tbh.
I might actually cry
Seeing everyone in my friends list and my timeline full of Pokopia is starting to chip away at my resistance.
But I also can’t drop $70 with current budget crunches on a game I do not know is my thing, so I persevere.

semi annual reminder to be careful about buying FF14 because it locks you out of the free trial

I think it's pretty cool how some toy companies understand some people are drawn to specific creative visions and even feature illustrators' names on the front of the box
Anyway I just saw Chris Cocks said they run designs past an LLM prompted to talk like Optimus Prime for design input.

I hate this man so much, Just everything about him is such bumbling movie villain energy, but he's real and holds actual power. Fucking baffling the world is like this.
Polymarket, Kalshi and all the rest of these prediction markets need to be wiped off the face of the earth. They provide absolutely nothing of value and are corrupting everything they touch.

Say it again: Smut, porn and sex workers are the canaries down the coal mine of censorship and you need to stand up for them now.
However you feel about pornography the people who make it are artists and deserve to be able to express themselves in their medium the same as the rest of us.
Realizing with One Piece LA that Netflix really did bankroll an absurdly expensive tokusatsu-core show and that's funny.
Will this also forget my speakers exit and be unable to be fixed without maybe fully restoring the system like my actual PC?
47 :))))))
It’s so funny because there’ll be other games between then and now and also he totally won’t do this.
Kondo is so funny
