@yenpress 's Battle Royale Deluxe vol 1 arrived yesterday so have a 🧵 of my thoughts, from the perspective of a fan that had a retranslation project ongoing, so I'm a bit qualified to judge the translation quality of this release 😁(this 🧵 will take a few days, I'm busy af 😩)
@xbunnimimi Bruv this one isn't nearly as bad as the 'dudes in wigs' one. This is clearly just a stylistic choice to make the noses etc. more detailed. Let's not swing the pendulum the other way around and bash every artist for stylistic choices.
@TheEbonyMaw I had some of my best creative ideas while being drunk af. Weed just made me feel I'm out of my body floating in space lol. Weed lovers will never comprehend their drug of choice isn't superior. Both ruin your body, both make ypu eat junk, both are terrible long term. Pure cope.
The West brainwashed people into thinking femininity and cuteness is wrong, just with games alone you can see the pattern but this applies to broader hobbies too
Cute things are now demonized in the west
I'm tired of the erasure of petite tomboy women. Fuck women trying to push petite body types as nonce bait. No one is a bigger enemy of women than other more 'tolerant' women. Body positivity was always a lie for fugly hogs to hide behid while erasing other bodytypes. Fuck them.
Zoomers are literally less tech literate than boomers, it's insane.
I've had zoomers complain to me about anime streaming sites being shit (they are) and when I tell them to simply torrent anime they start calling me a nerd and saying not everyone can be bothered spending hours learning to be a super hacker or something
1.3 MILLION PEOPLE ASKED THE EU TO STOP COMPANIES FROM DELETING GAMES THEY PAID FOR.
THE ANSWER WAS NO.
The "Stop Killing Games" initiative wanted one thing: when publishers pull the plug, don't let them remotely destroy copies people already bought.
The European Commission's official response:
- It will not require publishers to keep games playable - says forcing them would go too far
- Reason given: publishers' copyright and IP rights come first. Your purchase comes second.
- The solution: a voluntary code of conduct, developed together with the same industry that kills games
- Plus an awareness campaign reminding you of the consumer rights you supposedly already have
1.3 million signatures. Years of work. Multiple hearings.
And the part that says everything: according to the campaign, Ubisoft got a seat at a closed-door meeting with the Commission before the decision. The 1.3 million people who signed did not.
Publishers can still brick your purchase whenever they feel like it.
If buying still isn't owning, then at least now it's official.
