Hey, everyone! The clock is ticking!

1. Just over SIX weeks until I return to DragonCon for the first time since 2019! You can find me there September 3-7!

2. Just over THREE weeks until I return to Texas for the first time since 2014, and visit Austin for the first time EVER! Come see me at the debut PCX Austin from August 15-16!

3. Finally, in exactly ONE WEEK, JL8 returns to all platforms! However, it arrives even earlier for Patreon subscribers! They'll get it on Monday, July 27th!

I’m incredibly excited to be back!

Remember when Xbox was going to basically ban used games for the xbox one, and Playstation made fun of them with that video titled "how to share games on Playstation" and it was just one guy handing another a game disk? And now Playstation is getting rid of physical disks entirely

It’s like they expect us to just forget their original marketing schemes in favor of more and more money grabs.

Ok like. Imagine life without ads. You wake up, check your messages across a variety of apps, no ads. You get up and put on the tv while you prep your breakfast, no ads. Maybe you drive somewhere and switch on the radio, no ads. Maybe you drive a long distance, yet somehow, not a single billboard on your path. You pick up a newspaper or magazine to pass the time, no advertisements only articles. You turn on your game console, the home screen is just about your games, no ads to buy more. You open a streaming app, you don't pay extra for no ads, there's just no ads ever.

Think about how much of your time is spent looking at ads. "Download ublock" yeah I know, I have. But that doesn't change that the world is covered with endless advertising. Imagine never seeing that again. How much better our lives would be.

Arrest everyone involved.

Money saved: maybe a couple million dollars.

People killed: around three quarters of a million.

This amount of individualism is exactly whats gonna kill us all btw

[ashintheairlikesnow]

"Going a couple hours without eating a single kind of food? No thanks, I would rather kill a child" is such a wildly horrifying take to see MULTIPLE people proudly stating.

i won't pretend i've never been guilty of shopping for clothes at the soup store, but sometimes i see people criticizing media for not delivering an experience it was never intended to deliver and just get a little bewildered by it. just saw a very sincere post from someone critiquing splatoon's narrative writing for being "stunted and juvenile." well yes. it's side content in an all-ages pvp shooter. it's not even that i disagree with the critiques being made in the post it's that i just can't understand why they are being framed as if character-forward or complex narrative writing is something it is natural to expect from the splatoon franchise for some reason.

Disney is doing crazy things in the japanese mobile game sphere rn

[mochlus]

you may be familiar with disney twisted wonderland, the gacha game in which various disney villains are used as direct inspiration for handsome anime boys. well that game was so successful that disney is trying to do it again but this time they're just animeboyifying whatever

here's mickey, goofy, donald, and chip & dale. yeah they turned mickey & friends into anime boys. they're an idol unit or something. they're technically not anime boy versions of the source characters, they have different names. mickey's guy is "Neo Michel". not michael, michel, like he's french. chip & dale are "Ruska Moncrief" and "Ranka Monk", they have different last names, they're not brothers anymore so that they can be yaoibait instead, anyways this post isn't actually about these guys I'm just setting the stage for the actual humanizations I wanted to show you

They also did monsters inc. And. Well it's obvious from the designs who mike and sully are. but you will also notice. the blonde one on the left. with glasses. monsters inc is kind of famously about just the two guys so they didn't really have a lot of other non-villain characters to take anime boys inspiration from, I guess, so, well,

Yeah it's her. they made an anime boy version of the mean receptionist slug. her name is roz btw, as all of boygachagame twitter has become extremely aware of in the past 3 days as we speculated prior to the release of the full image who tf the third guy was. the anime boy's name is "noah slugger". at this point no parody of the types of things gacha games will make gijinkas of will ever be able to live up to what disney is officially spending their own real money on designing
