Your digital shelf is about to get an upgrade. 📚 We're building a brand new BOOK☆WALKER platform for 2026—smoother reading, updated apps, and all your English books transferring seamlessly.

Want the details? Our CEO is hosting a live preview + Q&A. Come hang out!

Please tag me if you see any anime that appears to plainly be using AI transcriptions for closed captions. That's CLOSED CAPTIONS (SDH) for ENGLISH DUBS, not subtitles for Japanese audio. I wanna publicly keep track of some of these and start holding platforms accountable.

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.

Thank you to all SILENT HILL f players for your patience. Today we've released a patch that adds a new casual difficulty and addresses feedback we've received, including reducing the amount of forced combat areas, speeding up NG+ runs, and bug fixes such as Sakuko's diary in NG+.

I've been using Photoshop Elements since version 1. I last updated to version 13 because the previous version I had didn't work on Windows 10. I'm now having problems installing/activation that on Windows 11 and what is this shinkflation crock? Paying the same money for a three year license?

My old HP Pavilion DV6 has a discrete GPU but is crippled by this “hybrid graphics” idea that AMD had where it runs the iGPU and dGPU in crossfire. In practice, it means a lot of games ONLY see the APU. Always been afraid to disable the iGPU in case I was left with nothing.

ANN broke our record for unique visitors (as counted by our CDN, Cloudflare), in January: 11.1 million. Up from 10.3 million set in January 2023. Historically January has always been one of our strongest months for traffic.

Anyway, I’ve just noticed that BBC iPlayer now has a Sci-Fi, Fantasy and One Piece I mean Sci-Fi, Fantasy and *Anime* section.

Does this thing still not have a proper iPad app?

Jan Scott-Frazier, who died yesterday aged 59, was a pioneer, an early Western worker in the #anime industry in Asia. She was also brave, honest, clever, funny, and my friend. Rest in peace, lovely.

Google is getting annoying with the constant “you’re using 85%” of your storage warnings. Sure, but there’s still a whole 15GB or so, so it’s not an immediate worry.
