Our charity drive for food banks in SoCal and the DC area has ended. We set out saying we would donate $400 ourselves, and wanted to see if we could get folks to match that amount with donations.

Y'all blew that goal out of the water, ending with a combined donation of $1,780.69 between us and you.

Important update: I have received word from insiders that Crunchyroll executives have deemed the user backlash to be small enough that their subtitle enshittification & OOONA plans will NOT be cancelled, only delayed.

I have added an update to the article. There's a summary at the top now too.
New article on ★ daiz.moe

Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason
daiz.moe/crunchyroll-...

A ton of research and effort went into this one. This is the article to read to get to the bottom of Crunchyroll's subtitle changes!

Replies here will show up as comments (eventually)
Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason | Daiz.moe
With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.

Just had Pala Sys of Gundam X herself come through with a HUGE $420.69 donation, which is both Hell Yeah and Nice. Shoutouts to one of the girls of all time, and to us getting over the $1300 mark in our donation drive for food banks!

The people mad about certain Mega Pokemon (not naming a specific one cuz no kidding, people are getting THAT psychotic) are fools in denial. It “looks like a Digimon?” Yeah dumbass, all Megas look like Digimon. Some look like cool Digis and you like them, some look like bad ones and you don’t.

Ana is currently dealing with either a coordinated, but quiet(er than usual) harassment campaign of malicious reporting, a coordinated debanking, or a literally unbelievably coincidental series of deplatformings. It just so happens she's been one of the loudest critics of paypros this year.
The full count as of today:

YouTube suspended
Twitch banned 3x
Patreon suspended (temporary)
Patreon 3x audio flags (one false posi)
Ko-fi suspended (indefinite?)
Buy Me a Coffee suspended
Vice reporting censored
Pornhub censored 3x times
Fansly censored 1x
Is it really a conspiracy to say Ana is being explicitly flagged by finance bros when she's now been banned (or censored) from Twitch, Patreon, Buy Me A Coffee, Ko-Fi, and *PornHub*??

Never thought the most knives out review of Black Ops 7 I’d read would come from the Walmart-owned outlet.
"Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 feels soulless and mercenary, doing just enough to avoid major outcry, while always feeling like a nip and tuck version of the games you once knew."

"it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed"

This.

This right here.

I'm so, SO tired of having to scrutinize any piece of art that even remotely resembles genAI slop just to determine whether or not it's worth a second thought or any admiration.
Why am I so against generative AI in games?

Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

sometimes terms have different meanings across different industries- and even different segments of the same industry! for example, “indie” in game awards parlance means “game i think i deserve credit for liking”

I am sure Inazuma Eleven is cool. But it sure killed my enthusiasm when the game put me into a really cool character creator first thing, then went "Welcome! Try our Chronicle Mode, where you don't play as that character you just made! Or our Story Mode, where you don't play as that character! Or ou
