Fun fact, indie booksellers are always happy to order books, even if they don't have them in stock, for you to pick up in-store or have shipped. Heck, you can even ask faraway indie bookstores to ship a book, or you can purchase through bookshop.org and support indies across the US and the UK!

Yeah I'm worried folks who already weren't watching anine dubs on Amazon are gonna shout never to support dubs on their service which in a more ideal world would send the right message, but might further ensure more AI dubs from them because the less views the more inclined they'll be to cheap out
One annoying aspect of Amazon using an AI dub for Banana Fish is now people will assume every dub on Amazon is done with AI & there will be false allegations of AI especially with some of the lesser quality dubs they use international studios for. And VAs & translators will also be harassed.

Please keep putting pressure on PayPal. Stories like this are becoming more and more common. Artists don’t deserve to lose their source of income over payment processors being puritanical/anti-small business.
I'm devastated, if I don't find an alternative that works with argentinians I'm contemplating the worst, I can't do regular jobs, art was my job for around 15 years
I don't do nsfw even when people insist me to
my life was already crumbling and now I don't know what to do

talking about this with peers. a couple of things:
1) who produced this "dub?" amazon or aniplex or someone else?
2) who worked on it? someone had to engineer it. what software was used? there is ONE LINE of info, haha.
also, if I were a news outlet, I'd be reaching out to aniplex for comment.

![KOSA [house version]
-omits duty of care, but there is no guarantee this stays gone
-no exemption for nonprofit entities
-yearly audits of platforms. could possibly include even really small ones, ex: mastodon instances, discord servers?
Reducing Exploitative Social Media Exposure for Teens (RESET) Act [DRAFT BILL]
-prohibits kids/teens under 16 from maintaining socmed accounts
Sammy's LAW [H.R 2657]

-leaves children MORE vulnerable to having their data and privacy violated
-isolates LGBTQ children
App Store Accountability Act [H.R.3149]

-transmitting Age Signals to developers.
SCREEN ACT [H.R.1623]

-backed by far right politicians and anti-porn groups
Safer Guarding of Adolescents from Malicious Interactions on Network Games (GAMING) Act [HR. 6265]

42 years later and I think maybe a dozen or so 70s TTL games are playable via mame or fpga platforms. The process is tricky and needs very specialized skills and specific information… but frankly I don’t know how many more decades these surviving machines still have in them.
This line from Video Games (Apr 83) was too prescient. One of the more frustrating things to me about the state of video game preservation is what feels like a general lack of interest in pre-'80s games; I will never stop banging the drum about the importance of '70s games (especially Death Race).

Viewpoint 2064 (unreleased game)
"Originally published by Sammy (now part of Sega), the shooter is a follow up to the Neo Geo space shooter Viewpoint, switching its isometric perspective for something more akin to Nintendo's Star Fox, or even Panzer Dragoon."
