I started out pretty AI neutral, aside from the environmental concerns, but I'm, being pushed into hating it more and more because it keeps making things I care about actively worse, and the results keep speaking for themselves in a really bad shitty way.

I'm not giving the context for it but if you know you know

Oh also it gets incredibly good when this happens lmao, Fujimoto was cooking

idk what I'll read next, maybe dunmeshi

The story is -incredibly- cynical while also acknowledging that the pursuit of happiness and companionship is ultimately worthwhile and arguably one of the most human things you can do in the face of a world that just wants to take what it can from you Also being too horny will ruin your life lmao

It's also pretty punk, which I like? denji's relationships are entirely shaped by exploitation which is also reflected in the setting as a whole - utilitarianism comes up time and time again in the plot, reflected in the personal sacrifices devil hunters make as well as mass sacrifice by government

All in all its probably one of the better manga series I've personally read, the mix of extreme violence and humour tonally worked for me and I liked how irreverent it was, though what kept me invested was really the interpersonal stuff

Finished chainsaw man, I don't hate the ending honestly, worst you can say about it is it's a bit abrupt

You'll never guess where this goes

im enjoying chainsaw man but it has a really bad habit of making all its characters fun and interesting and then they get unceremoniously killed nonstop I do think it is in service of something though as big themes of the story are emotional manipulation and desensitization to violence

They just can't help themselves I'm begging you please make enjoying KCD less of a humiliation ritual by association

FurAffinity (a furry focused online art gallery) is looking for funding after refusing to comply with advertiser demands. And oh boy are some of those advertiser demands are pretty ridiculous.

Me when I eat Burger King

I'm ngl I'm planning on getting it as soon as I get paid, had my eye on it for a while

No go ahead

As much as I glazed how arcsys teaches its games, the execution on those can be dry and it can be frustrating to just bash your head on a combo for hours. World Tour is much more palatable for a new player, I just feel like its priorities are skewed

And it's a shame because SF6 World Tour is a genuinely really neat concept (hell, so neat that RGG seem to be copying it beat for beat for the new Virtua Fighter title), it's nice to gameify learning how to play fighting games, which is important as its a notoriously hard genre to get into

This all really drives home that a good tutorial is really difficult to pull off. The ideal is singleplayer content that does introduce FGC fundamentals in a piecemeal way like WT but also does provide the information and feedback that players need to really learn and that's where it fails imo
