Me except somehow I keep finding new media to enjoy

I read the manga from time to time. Learned about it from this group too. Can also recommend it for the dirt jokes lol

I was watching this late last night so I missed the first part and I didn’t realize that it was Patrick Galbraith on screen! I’ve been reading some of his works lately like Otaku and the Struggle for Imagination in Japan and his articles like Lolicon. I think everyone here on !anime should read his works.

Anyway, I’m too young to know what much of anime culture was like two decades ago, and my only trip to Akihabara was a few years ago so I never really saw what the “old Akihabara” was like. Though my experience was pretty much exactly described as the “current Akihabara” in the video so it’s pretty cool to learn more about it.

I should probably go back with a friend because I mostly just went around for a few hours looking at figures, searching for a particular monochrome Hitagi figure. Though it is true, there was a lot of ehh… sex industry stuff lol. Kind of funny how Galbraith mentions it in the video with such an ominous tone lol.

I was not expecting to wake up to this :(

On one hand, it makes me want to recommend Lemmy.World even more. On the other hand, if Lemmy.World ends up like this too…

It’s a really tricky situation.

I got the worst ending. I should really replay it with a guide some day.

I remember in elementary school we had a lesson on sex organs. When I turned in my test paper, I curiously asked my teacher, “If the sperm is in the male, and the egg is in the female, how does the sperm transfer over?”

All she said was, “Well, what do you think?” To which I replied, “I don’t know.” Then I quietly returned to my desk. Later I discussed it with my friend and we concluded that a male must pee into a female. Because at the time, pee was the only thing we knew came out of the penis.

He has a Samson Meteor microphone. Same as mine. He is cool in my book :D

It’s definitely overkill. Every time I come across a feddit.org image, it’s just broken on my end :/

Good ol 750 Ti.

Yes

I see. I guess it’s kind of like The Forest. The type of survival game I might enjoy.

How grindy is the story mode? Is it like The Forest where you can go through the entire thing in ~10 hours without building a base or more like Subnautica where a base is necessary and it takes like 30 hours to complete?

I think Peertube is more of a Vimeo alternative. YouTube is built around advertising.

I actually saw this the other day, then a few hours later I learned that the pope had died. I thought the meme was referencing the pope’s death so I thought “Wow, I can’t believe I learned about his death because of a meme!” Now, it’s kind of awkward.

I watched Kick-Heart the other day. Masaaki Yuasa is incredible (and his work is incredibly horny). It’s a lot of fun.

I love all the anime communities.

Dota Underlords

I remember this. Really crazy how this was all orchestrated. The girls were trained to be part of pranks unaware that they were going to commit murder at the end.

Interesting mix of responses here. I think it’s not a matter of copying art style though. I think it’s more to do with the death of creative labor. Especially with how labor intensive Studio Ghibli films are.

But I learned some time ago that we’re in “the age of curatorship” so maybe we’ll just continue filtering out AI stuff the same way we try to filter out “brainrot” or “slop content”. Unless of course, you actually like any of that (and I do like to watch these from time to time myself).

With the current situation, it’s also interesting that Studio Ghibli hasn’t said anything yet. Or at least I’m not aware of any legitimate statements yet. Maybe Sudio Ghibli isn’t bothered by it at all.

Anyway, I think it’s good people actively resist AI. It’s here to stay unless laws limit or prohibit it.

You’re nitpicking and biased. I win. Bye bye.
