Do people actually watch anime at 1.5x or higher speed or is it a community joke?

A browser game I've been having a lot of fun with is Metazooa. Worth checking out.

One of my favourite YouTube moments is from the react wars between @jessecox.bsky.social and @crendor.bsky.social . Makes me laugh to this day.

Here are some of my hot takes (actual opinions).

Dragon Age II > Inquisition.

Steins;Gate is bad and unpleasant.

Martin Scorsese is overrated.

Raya and the Last Dragon is one of Disney’s worst.

I'm streaming my first playthrough of Yomawari: Night Alone on Twitch live right now. Come check out the stream!

I play a variety of video games and thought it might be fun to stream some of the games I play for the first time while also getting feedback from viewers.

You know a type of achievement I hate to see? An achievement based on playtime that is greatly in excess of the playtime of a thorough playthrough!

Went for an appointment yesterday. The email said 1.15. I arrive and I'm told I missed the appointment. Turns out they did a typo and the correct time was 11.15. Now I have to wait a while again for another appointment.

One of my favourite facts I've learned is that this guy, Dimetrodon, is not a dinosaur and, most interestingly to me, is more closely related to us than he is with dinosaurs!

A worrying response from the UK government with regards to payment processors. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73... If you're in the UK, sign this petition. If you're not, share the petition so more UK people know about it.

Petition: Ban payment processors stopping services based on objections to legal content

Government should legislate that payment processing companies may not place stipulations on use of their services regarding sales of otherwise legal content and, if they do so, must face legal penalti...

With Digimon seeming to be on a lot of people's minds, it would make sense to see some UK anime distributors pick up @discotekmedia.bsky.social's Digimon releases, right?

If you're wondering what the physical releases of
@irodoricomics.com look like, check out my unboxing of both Imaizumi Brings All The Gyarus To His House compilations by Norigorou. YouTube obviously can't let me show everything but... youtu.be/VcmQS6TZ3p8

I've got a lot of jobs to do so there won't be a stream today. Look forward to a video tomorrow though.

I see so many metrics these days when it comes to success at the box office, video game sales, viewership numbers etc. You know what I want to see? ROI (Return on Investment). I think we'd see things completely differently if this was the metric used to measure success.

These books are also very large. Decided to include a standard tankobon for comparison.

Look what I just got today! My first physical releases from @irodoricomics.com! Also got some physical cards along with Imaizumi.

In the past week, I've already seen two Christmas ads. WTF?

I do like that YouTube allows you to dislike videos but I do lament that there's no additional feedback to it. I can understand why you might dislike a video but that itself doesn't help anyone to improve (unless the reason is really obvious!)

Busy weekend and not the best mood so there won't be any streams. Sorry about that but I think it's the right move.

When I was young, I don't remember playing many Capcom games. Now I think they may be my favourite game publisher in terms of franchise variety and quality. They have their issues sometimes but they're still great these days.
