data's from dec '23 so i guess it's a bit out of date. overall, frieren skews more women audience than typical anime (50/50 ratio) and older fanbase (~40) as opposed to ~35 for something like jujutsu kaisen

"You're absolutely right! I hadn't considered that β€” since we have the airship, we can simply fly over all the terrain and reach the Wizard's Tower without any issues!

We've been so focused on the path that we forgot to leverage the vehicle. The airship changes everything."

i don't think the people writing these strings were even familiar with sega or turn of the millenium akiba culture, both of which are parodied heavily throughout the script

i think the first time i encountered the term 'butt rock' it was in ultra gameplayers about some sega racing game (sega rally, maybe? daytona usa 2?) and took it to mean really cheesy, packaged rock n' roll. (as opposed to the XTREME alt rock/pop punk that was in, say, top skater)

my account is still there, mainly to prevent impersonation. but the bare few times I've cross-posted to there in the past year, I've gotten a tiny fraction of the engagement I get here. and when I go there to look at something the site just hurls rage bait at me. There's no reason to go there man

not sure how fair of a memory this is, but NXE came out dropping frames and had stuttering sound effects that lagged behind inputs. the only other thing i can think of that feels immediately as disappointing is the switch eshop.

If your review average is a 7 because everybody gave you a 7, that's one thing. If your average is a 7 because it's half 10s and half 4s, that is how you know it's The Good Stuff

ditch the longform 2 hour vgm vibe playlists. make playlists of actual tracks from actual games. be intentional. if you’re intentional, you won’t be nearly as likely to fall for obvious bait like this. another really great reason why crediting and id-ing the music you’re listening to is valuable

Asks me, "Is it still launch day?"
"Yes," I lie. "Always."
