@yamanakanobody Of course, that's exactly what I did with Initial D. Unfortunately, they took the anime off of all streaming services for absolutely no reason, though. I'd also love for Wangan Midnight (both the anime and manga) to actually be available here legally
@ARAARASHINIGAMI It's so frustrating seeing someone say "Just buy it, or wait for it to become available" when one of my favorite anime and manga, Wangan Midnight, never got official English translations (or even subtitles). It came out in 1990 (anime was 2007). We're not ever getting it legally
@excalipermx 1000%
I couldn't get my hands on Initial D without pirating it. They finally made it available for me to legally purchase and what happened? Despite already having access to it through piracy, I gave the JP distributor my money anyway. Allow us to buy things and we gladly will
I went to work for 6 hours and my Twitter feed switched from Americans and Japanese people getting along over fun things to Japanese people suddenly insulting us and comparing us to rapists for pirating media they won't even sell to us in the first place (we'd buy it if they did)
@bluntsnbongsss@SonicRelated That doesn't make it right? Regardless of if he's "allowed" to, it's still shitty behavior, and extremely disrespectful to the creator of the plush by trying to profit off of HIS work.

In 2021, I was bored at home and decided to try watching a silly little street racing anime so I could understand all the [EUROBEAT INTENSIFIES] jokes from a decade ago, despite not remotely caring about cars. Now I own a Mazda RX-7
@rocketslothluke Games are also WILDLY unoptomized today. Pokémon Gold and Silver was programmed by 4 people, and those 4 people literally invented new file compression technology to be able to make the game bigger. Meanwhile today, any AAA game will be over 100 GB
.@autozone is there a reason you no longer carry the NGK BUR7EQ and BUR9EQ spark plugs used for rotary engines? Every time I needed some, I went to Auto Zone
Meanwhile, in the most disappointing twist of fate possible, @Toyota just posted an AI generated clip of Santa at a Toyota dealership on their Instagram
@Visual_Salman Ay, I recognize that plugin, I use it a lot myself. I'm not sure how much of a car enthusiast you are, but I noticed the smoke behind the rear wheels implying it's drifting. I recommend turning the rear outwards a little more and having the front wheels continue going forward :)
@Vorrae I came across his livestream on YouTube shorts at like 2 am once and said "Would your younger self be proud right now?" in the chat, and I could see the depression in his eyes reading that
