I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

Reminder that video game journalism cannot exist without functioning newsrooms that have the capacity to mentor and train new talent and the bandwidth to pursue long-form investigative pieces and break news—all while paying writers a living wage.

Every generation needs to discover the Lovely Angels and realize the exact dividing line between the "Dirty Pair" definition.

I'm watching Dirty Pair for the first time and it's amazing how this show is about two chaotic, boy-crazy women in skimpy outfits and it doesn't feel at all demeaning. I love it and I love them.

We've been calling them 'words.'
But here's the thing: that's not quite tadashii.

A kotoba isn't a word.
They're something else entirely-
a role unique to Japanese gengo.
And there's no eigo no kotoba that surus it seigi.

So from ima on, wareware tsukau the hontou no kotoba: kotoba.

I'd also like to add if you're posting a guest list DO NOT use alphabetical order. If you have Japanese guests they go to the top of the list. If you have English voice actors or English anime industry people they go in the middle. If you have professional cosplayers, straight to the bottom.
Dear Conventions,

If you're ONLY listing your guests on Instagram (or on some other social media) and NOT on your convention's web site, you're really doing a disservice to your convention.

Please POST YOUR GUESTS ON YOUR OWN WEB SITE!

Yours Truly,
FanCons Staff 😵‍💫

There's a prompt asking "What was your biggest impact on the internet?" So:

Twenty years ago, a certain word filter was implemented on a certain forum. It became so ubiquitous, there's a good chance you've seen it more than once today.

I didn't implement the filter, but I did suggest the word.

This remains "the one that got away" of my DC collection. I drooled over the online trailers' localization, but it never appeared at any store near me by the time the DC market was drying up.
this was an incredible game, btw. actual controls and gameplay were fairly average, but you need to understand that most gundam games up to this point were TERRIBLE. and the story and localization were top-notch!! i would LOVE a White Dingo Team OVA series.
