Introduction time!

I'm Richard "Pocky" Kim (I've had the nickname since 1995).

I've been in localization (games and anime) since 1999, and also have experience as a game designer, producer, and live operations manager.

I'm a huge Granblue Fantasy fan, and love games and anime in general.

Personal freedom, storytelling through stats, and a cast of autonomous individuals who demand to be treated well instead of merely romanced - let me show you why Tokimeki Memorial's so special:

Yes, all of this must be understood. Roberts is an unrepentant racist, fully committed to his goal of an unequal, segregated, white supremacist society. And now he is eager to achieve it.

Jay Willis @jaywillis.net · 1d

Everything about John Roberts's approach to the Voting Rights Act makes sense when you remember that John Roberts has has always been hostile to the Voting Rights Act, never believed it was appropriate, and has spent most of his 45-year legal career working to hollow it out.

One of the Biggest Cases of the Supreme Court’s Term Is John Roberts’ Decadeslong Pet Project

If there’s one thing the Roberts court has been consistent on, it’s this.

Samantha Ferreira Is Creating An Anime Mag @sam-animeherald.bsky.social · 13h

So, we're putting up a social media blast later, but we just opened apps for retailers to buy AH Mag wholesale - partnering with NetWise to handle integration into the storefront.

30% off orders of 10+.

There's an approval, but it's mostly just a "we need to make sure this business exists" thing

Some people asked me if there was a way to donate to me directly. While I am extremely uncomfortable about this, a lot of close friends convinced me I should set something up, so I set up a ko-fi for those that expressed this. Please do not feel obligated. ko-fi.com/ashuraou

Most of rural Alaska is Alaska Native. Bonus donating to support Alaska Native people on Indigenous Peoples Day.

Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.

Quick lil reminder:
Picking on the physical characteristics (weight, height, etc) of someone who's clearly just a trash human being isn't the dunk you think it is.

If you can help my friend Brady out, please do. They're an amazing person, and likely had a hand in helping produce the localized version of some of your favorite anime.

Hey friends. After having open heart surgery in Dec and another procedure in July, I've been left in 10k+ debt while recovering. During this, we were also laid off from Skullgirls. To try to help dig myself out, I have begun listing things on eBay: ebay.com/usr/mshinzan

Tasty tasty exploded view. These files will be up (with encounter instructions) for supporters tomorrow! #maker #3dprinting #ttrpg

A screenshot from CAD showing the multiple parts that combine to form the clockwork dragon encounter, in exploded view. The pieces are colored tan.

A clockwork dragon mini painted in golds, bronze, and different copper shades stands atop a clockwork device featuring a tower, and a large silver and gold gear before it topped with two Tesla coils painted in silver and copper.

We've had a couple of reports of crashes, so I spent the evening removing complex collisions and booting the nonsense 4k textures out of our levels.

Preliminary tests say we've recovered about 3 fps!

And we no longer have 4k textures gumming up the works. Honestly, who needs things to be 4k?!?

Just a reminder the word remigrate is open Nazi language and should be seen as a threat of violence.

When the neo Nazis use this term their is another two words they use after it which are :or die

It’s important to understand the context that the word Remigrate is a threat to leave or be murdered.
