The original Let It Die was famous for its absolutely amazing soundtrack. Akira Yamaoka went and got in touch with a HUNDRED of his favourite indie bands and commissioned each to do a track named 'let it die'. The result was borderline mystical.
They're AI-generating the music here.
Fuck that.

The Let it Die sequel - Let it Die: Inferno - which is coming out next week (4th December), seems to have been built using a considerable amount of generative AI. https://bit.ly/4ol7lIA

GoG has done a great job of providing a substantially different and valuable service. They're no steam but there's a good reason to go to GoG for a variety of reasons. Epic has literally nothing to offer.
The only reason why steam is a “pseudo monopoly” is because no one else has found a winning formula like they have. And also the one guy who wants to compete is too busy being the most unlikable person on the planet.

Considering how everything for anime has to be done with the approval of the original Japanese licensor(s) now (this isn't the Wild West of the 90s & earlier), this pretty much means that the Japanese licensor for Banana Fish had to have approved this.
So, who's the licensor for this? Aniplex.

It's absolutely allowed for a huge amount of capital to be evaporated by the whims of people chasing profit above all else and caused every economic bubble/bust in living memory but on the flipside a bunch of ghouls made some money
I have begun to think that maybe the public stock market was a mistake. Maybe the worst invention prior to social media

I know it's more reassuring to believe that people in other countries spread racism in the west but the truth is they just found ways to profit off the racism that was already there

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Steam being a pseudo monopoly is complicated. It's obviously got downsides, but the AI disclosure requirement makes it so realistically everything releasing on PC has to disclose or risk getting banned right off the PC platform forever and it's the only way we'd find out about some of this shit.

it's very unlikely that Nuzzi swung the election.
it seems quite plausible that she kept RFK from being damaged in ways that might have complicated his nomination though.

there is no comprehensive list of dangerous criminal undocumented migrants. nor are there many of them in the country at all. “mass deportations” are by definition gonna be almost exclusively peaceful immigrants and sweep up LPRs, people on visas, these are the easy people to locate!
This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

This is an economic indicator. Younger people with tons of free time have less money for games and the entire hobby is skewing more expensive and older. As incomes drop and time ALSO becomes scarce then waiting for discounts just gets more and more appealing.

To be blunt it gets a lot easier to wait as you get older. I'm streaming games and I still am letting tons of shit pass me by. If I was working a regular job I'd basically play 2-3 games a year, there'd be absolutely no reason for me to ever get anything on release. Also - 1/2
I have no problem buying a better version of a game 2-3 years later because I play games on release, its a replay incentive
I will not be crying about 60 dollars I paid 3 years ago, why would I consider this. I'm not lamenting the 15 bucks I spent at McDonalds last month either.
