「株式会社ガイナックス」について
2025年12月10日の官報掲載にありますように、アニメーション制作スタジオだった「株式会社ガイナックス」の破産整理が終わり、法人として消滅し、その42年弱の歴史を終えました。 創設期から20年以上籍を置き、今日まで株主として関わっていたものとして誠に残念な最後ですが、静かに受け止めています。 まず、2019年、当時の代表取締役社長巻智博氏の逮捕を受け、弊社と共にガイナックス社の再建、後に整...

Local hobby stores, regardless of the hobby, have two kinds of owner:
1: Older person who doesn't want to be there and honestly doesn't want you there, either
2: Older person who loves their special interest and desperately wants to talk to you about it.

it's always a good laugh when you try to support a local business instead of just buying something on the computer and the small business owner is like "that's out of stock and also fuck you"

If you don't have direct, physical ownership of your media, whether that be access to the original, rips, or DRM-free files ON YOUR OWN HARD DRIVES you do not have ownership of that media. Even digital services we "trust" such as Steam can alter the files without your permission/knowledge.

At some point someone involved in a American sport-- a player, a coach, an assistant, maybe even as far down as an equipment manager-- will be murdered by a gambler who's convinced that the game was "fixed".
Will that convince the leagues to disavow sports books? Because I'm pretty sure it won't.

I'm not saying this as a cop-out to Sega's AI announcements because... man, fuck modern Sega, but I think older Japanese game developers probably have a difficult time coming to grips with the idea that the newest tech "innovations" aren't just unpopular, but actually a detriment to their games.
