I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Seriously considering switching to a different pharmacy after CVS replaced its phone system with something clearly AI based that kept glitching the audio, couldn't recognize number keypad inputs, and ultimately couldn't find my prescription to refill it.

Being a pokemon noob, I don't know how typical this is of trainers, but I swear every single trainer in Lumiose is like "Hey in this rock-paper-scissors contest I'm ONLY going to throw scissors and I'm telling you this BEFORE we fight so you will understand how awesome a scissors-only strat is."

I wish boycotts were still something people organized. This modern "I won't shop there and will judge anyone who does" method not only retracts business so slowly the business easily adapts, but it also means if a real boycott gets organized nobody will be left to actually hurt the company's profits

Arceus was the first pokemon game I played, and I did not know how good I had it being able to evolve all of my pokemon without having to trade any of them.

I haven't played enough previous titles to know if there's any existing lore about cell phones in the Pokeverse, but I want to know how Lumiose city is 'finding' enough Rotom to make every phone a Rotom phone.

I think we need to reframe things and refer to any software that intentionally negatively affects user experience to further some ulterior motive as "malicious software"

I think I just have to come right out and admit that I don't at all understand the sickos meme.

I'm not a shipper but I've realized that the one thing that can get me to ship two characters beyond or against what's in canon is if the ship name is an amazing pun.

Just reiterating my promise to cancel my subscription next season if Crunchyroll doesn't turn this around completely.

Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason

A ton of research and effort went into this one. This is the article to read to get to the bottom of Crunchyroll's subtitle changes!
Replies here will show up as comments (eventually)

With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.

For gamers who aren't in game dev, you should know that we are in one of the worst periods in game dev history in terms of industry stability and the reason you're not seeing that play out through products is because the average development window of games is 3-7 years so it hasn't reached you yet.

One of the most important jobs of a designer is understanding that there are some things that everyone says they want, but then absolutely hate if they get it

Okay, took another pass. Added “hands” and “feet”, printed the black with filament instead of coloring the eyes and mouth, reshaped the arms to hold better and for proportions. Little passenger feels good and done 👍🏼

Writers in the US, the UK, Japan, and everywhere else in the world, I beg you: many many people in this current age need stories that say it's possible for a villain to be defeated and stay defeated. Please stop loving your villains more than your heroes.

A little bit of a Frieren spoiler for anyone who hasn't watched the series:
I still think the Frieren-copy should have been defeated by them hauling a mimic down and shoving it through the door.

This Monster Wants to Eat Me, strangely, gives me hope that it might be the rare anime to treat depression and suicide ideation in a healthy way rather than just including it because the author romanticizes angst.

I'll give them a chance to course correct, but if @crunchyroll.com subtitles aren't back to the previous quality by next season I'm definitely cancelling my subscription.

I think this is probably pretty close to what's happened to me with trying to find a job.
Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Between this and the subtitles, @crunchyroll.com seems to be batting zero this season.

My first time watching My Next Life as a Villainess, week by week as it aired, I didn't dislike Geordo, but man binge rewatching it really made it clear how many red flags the guy has regarding consent.
