「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...

here's the solution to the "video games can't be about dark/sexual topics" problem: books! you know how books can have all kinds of horrible things in them?

Revisited another tremendous album on another album-length commute today: Foxtrot by Genesis.
Supper's Ready is one of those all-time greats that I could listen to over and over again on repeat until my speakers blow out. Such a complete and overwhelmingly powerful piece of music.

WASHINGTON D.C. - US President Donald Trump's planned White House ballroom, requiring the complete demolition of the historic East Wing, is being criticized by Canadians who will now never get to light the building on fire for a second time since the War of 1812.

I continue to love everything about this game but B13M5 was designed by a genuine sadist who I can only imagine hates not only the players, but also life itself.
tie fighter battle 2 remains one of the best stories that's ever been told about the imperial era of star wars. you're the dominant galactic power and you're nominally here to pacify some civil war that's been going on for generations, what's your strategy?
