Random thought: I suddenly feel like a spoiled person when it comes to anime (and possibly gaming). Anime was deemed more or less as an entertainment for kids as I grew up and there was some truth to it. That was the target audience, so a lot of anime plots were pretty tamed back then.

Just another day of almost getting run into by a car while crossing an intersection (while the pedestrian crossing sign is still on) because the driver didn’t care to look ☺️

And this is a driver driving from the opposite side of the intersection making a turn.

I feel that State of Play Japan is one of the game announcements that I’ve enjoyed the most this year!

Their typical State of Play is pretty meh for me, but this one feels like I am their audience lol

Somehow this doesn’t surprise me…

But okay, let’s talk about their agenda here as well because first I thought it would be silly for people to generate their own video and just watch it by themself.

But instead if they publish the user’s video, they get free content without doing the work at all 🫠
Bob Iger says Disney+ will soon have AI-generated short form content from users

This isn't easy for me to say but I've been struggling financially since my unemployment benefits ended. I've sold a LOT of my things to get by and it hasn't been enough. I start working next week but I'm posting my Venmo in case anyone would like to donate a buck or two.

I love how everyone who finishes World Trigger has this shared experience of this particular scene sequence being imprinted in their memory Lol

(The video doesn't show the full scene but only a few still images of the scene, but I can literally see it in my mind)

I wonder how much information do politicians have about their voters. Assume that you were a registered Dem and became independent, would they know if that’s because they didn’t stand their ground enough for the minority, or because they went too far left for you?

Been watching The Golden Girls for a bit (my first time), but I can’t watch too many episodes in succession because I laugh too much and my jaw gets tired 🤣

There’s a certain variety of YT vids that use “science” to explain people’s behavior, and every time it’s gotta be one of those psychology “theory” that’s vague af. And this is coming from someone who does social science research in a department that studies human behavior.

I think music for me is more about a composed set of melody that can evoke emotions even without words/lyrics. Lyrics don’t take the central role in my experience but a support role, which explains why I listen to a number of j-pop (anime) songs without issues Lol

If you see this, post an anime you love.

Guess I should mention something other than World Trigger as well 🤣

As I watched through Haikyu, it also reminded me of World Trigger. If nothing else, I think their approach to the power system is quite similar. That is their power system is pretty grounded and have consistent logic.
Finished the latest movie of Haikyu. It was definitely fun but not as cathartic as some other arcs for me. The ending is pretty emotional for me tho 🥹

I’ve noticed that a lot of people are more tolerant of (or welcome) repetitiveness in games more than I do. I’m a lot less grind-tolerance these days (special thanks to Monster Sanctuary), and I kinda need a consistent progression in the game, or I’ll get bored even if the gameplay loop is fun.

Of course I end up waking up an hour earlier than the usual time anyway 😂
