The coolest gamer around. I make videos on YouTube.
Catch the stream I do once a year:

Actively choosing the English dub when playing a Yakuza game feels eldritch.

Not gross or lame. But otherworldly and frightening.

Like purposely choosing a world-ending apocalypse. It's evil and sinister in nature.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 (with Japanese/English voices) is officially announced.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 will use the Dragon Engine.

Weak-minded fake gaming individuals are mad because they find it disrespectful

True intellectual nihongo gamers are mad because they are focusing on too many gaijin cameos instead of cool Japanese people

Tu Pac announced Stranger Than Heaven, game out Jan 15th, 2027

[Dave "Classic" Pretendo @Davepretendo]

Nope sorry. This is

[Dave "Classic" Pretendo @Davepretendo]

@incriptionnn Yeah probably. But from what I've seen from the Japanese side, they don't seem to be as easily impressed as Westerners are.

[Dave "Classic" Pretendo @Davepretendo]

I'm convinced the brain of an average "anime fan" only activates when there are flashing colors and movement on screen

All they ever talk about is the animation, and whether it is good or not

So when they say "Japan has no taste", it means nothing. You had none to begin with

[kira 👾 @kirawontmiss]

Japan has no taste bro

Modern ArcSys
Backed by PlayStation
Marvel

The trailer does look great, but there is no way I'm gonna let myself get excited for this lol

[PlayStation @PlayStation]

Assemble a team of legendary heroes and villains in MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls.

First details on the 4v4 tag team fighter, launching 2026 on PS5 and PC: https://t.co/EyGp4wN7hT

I'm obsessed with Oblivion because I have zero horse armors, lusty argonians, daedric weapons, septims or action in my real life.

[Dave "Classic" Pretendo @Davepretendo]

No one actually hates turn-based combat

The West has just been gaslit into thinking it's bad. They associate it with "anime games" so it's cringe and you have to hate it

The fact that they all make exceptions for it when it comes to Pokémon should tell you how they really feel

[Dave "Classic" Pretendo @Davepretendo]

Dubbed anime is borderline fanfiction btw

[Anime Updates @animeupdates]

More people watch Dubbed than Subbed Anime in every single country on Crunchyroll's platform, according to its CEO

[Dave "Classic" Pretendo @Davepretendo]

I'm glad Talos was removed from the Imperial Pantheon! Seeing way too many people soying over him like he was some kind of leader for the Nine Divines. He wasn't even born when Saint Alessia created the Pantheon!!

Now it's back to the Eight Divines again like it should be!

In the replies, pretend that Tamriel has Twitter

[Dave "Classic" Pretendo @Davepretendo]

What the heck???? You mean this was AI and not a real screaming ash baby this whole time!?!?!?!?!

[Dave "Classic" Pretendo @Davepretendo]

Thanks, doc

[Rock Solid @ShitpostRock]

Two colours that mean so many things

[Dave "Classic" Pretendo @Davepretendo]

@fatbitchC2C Yeah, Konami is in a different position. They only started releasing the compilations.

It feels like Capcom is moving in a weird direction in general. Seeing Itsuno leave even though he had expressed interest in working on future Capcom projects is worrying.

[Dave "Classic" Pretendo @Davepretendo]

Let's be honest, If Capcom is making a new game it will most likely be influenced by the Netflix show due to its "success".

[Dream's Longest Day @Dreamboum]

Devil May Cry HD Collection originally released with a peak player count of 591.

Today it has reached nearly 5000 concurrent players. A ~1000% increase in players.

[Dave "Classic" Pretendo @Davepretendo]

I'm happy that Itsuno was at least able to give us one last game before it turned to shit.

RIP Devil May Cry

[Devil May Cry @DevilMayCry]

This party's getting crazy! Season 2 is officially confirmed for @Netflix's DEVIL MAY CRY.

[Dave "Classic" Pretendo @Davepretendo]

No. It's more like this:

How the Grummz vs Ubisoft / Assassin's Creed Shadows social battle went today:

[Dave "Classic" Pretendo @Davepretendo]

It's funny how modern Western writers are so afraid of writing corny lines that they end up being even cornier by trying to avoid them. Dante would not talk like this.

[Leo | Digimon Savers + FF @MidnightKolrath]

I can’t with him

[ludwig @LudwigAhgren]

@imane It's normal
