I love Bea so much. She's such a goober. The fact that Aya Hirano voices Bea & Kana Hanazawa voices Zeta make them (and the Society) my favorite squad in GBF.
I never finished the original Relink because I'm old & couldn't complete any of the higher level missions. Too many button clicks.

Beatrix will be available to play during the Closed Beta, which is why only she got a gameplay introduction in the showcase - she’ll use the Delta Clock to cycle buffs between attack, defense, and healing. Fill up the clock to unleash speed and more buffs too

Ep 41 of "Divided" Craig's team lost over $26k because they couldn't agree with how to split it. Episode end reminds me of when Craig gets frustrated with Heifetz

The science nerd in me is also loving Curious Cases from the BBC. I like the way they present each question and the banter between the hosts. I just wish there was an easier way for me to binge the series without having to download each episode.

The Winter anime season tends to be a slow season for me and this year is no different. Both Summer and Fall last year were packed so it's nice to only have a few shows to watch this season. It's letting met get through my backlog of manga and novels.

Just finished the 6th novel in the Seikai no Senki series & now I'm left with that feeling that this story will never be completed by the author. Vol. 6 was the start of "Part 2" of the epic but was released in 2018. I'm afraid poor health & age is gonna take the author before this series concludes.

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

It's 2026 which means it's been 20 years since KyoAni graced us with "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" and mobs of cosplayers would perform "Hare Hare Yukai" anywhere and everywhere. Wow that makes me feel old. I did a rewatch of S1 last weekend to end my winter staycation for old times sake.

After watching the first episode of "Kirei ni Shitemoraemasu ka.", I still can't get used to the voice they chose for Kinme. It's not the VA's fault but I had a specific voice for her character in my head while reading the manga and it's so different that I can't accept it right now.

I've got this weird hankering to play Civilization but I want to play a hybrid version with features from different games. Like Civ IV is my favorite but I would love a version with Civ V's graphics, hex grid and combat changes. Sadly, I can't find any mods that do this.

I haven't seen a JP backlash this large to a Cygames thing since the Summer Lottery fiasco in GBF. 🙃
I guess for people new to Cygames/CyberAgent as a company it's a big disappointment. They've experimented with AI in some of their games already so I guess this announcement isn't too surprising.
