Is where “reach heaven through violence” is quoted from. It’s good stuff, written by an actual leftist too

Single show coming out this year that has me the most hyped, and we've already had a couple bangers in Dead Dead Demon's DededeDestruction and Dungeon Meshi (and we're also getting Uzumaki)

Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction Ep 14

Direct quote from the episode:

spoiler

That Mothership in Japan is like a kid... who hasn't gotten laid! ...and is about to shoot it's load! It's true! We're leaders of the free world! That's us!'

Okay, so I never really wrote it down, but what I really really really love about CSM is how Fujimoto takes really simple, easily understood metaphors and just uses them to brutally illustrate our condition under late capitalism

Making literal deals with devils...

Just, man, this manga is just so peak

Dead Dead Demon's Dedede Destruction is an amazing show. It's a bit heavy to watch though, considering current events.

I did not have this on my 2024 bingo card, ngl. Even if it ends up a trainwreck, at least it'll have a banging soundtrack

Hoping for animated Brisket bridget-smug

Edit: Sanzigen is the studio who did the Anniversary MV. So, there may be reason to be cautiously optimistic lol

The running joke that the "Green Laser Weapons" are eco-friendly is chefs-kiss

Yooooooo wtf?!?

Edit: How the fuck is Mappa gonna animate this

I've been looking forward to Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction's anime adaptation, especially since I'm allergic to reading manga. Subs aren't great but ah well, we work with what we've got, hopefully fansubbers pick it up.

Don't watch ep 0 tho apparently it's spoilers.

Sony backed down (twitter.com)

Although I don't know if Steam will re-enable sales for regions without PSN coverage.

I suddenly understand what Mark Fisher was yappin' about with Hauntology.

The show is like carbon monoxide. It's very peaceful.

Looks good, they really nailed Fujimoto's style.

Latest indie darling blow up videogame fad that you'll hear less of in a month or so. I say that somewhat derisively but I think it's pretty normal, Lethal Company was the last one and that was a neat little horror co-op game imo.

I think the reason word of mouth is spreading so much can be attributed to two things:

  1. It's somewhat edgy, misanthropic and subversive take on Pokemon/Nintendo's family friendly aesthetics. I can't say much about this as I haven't played the game myself to judge just exactly how much is being played straight and how much is satire (and I don't plan to), but I'd guess people who grew up with Pokemon as a franchise have been looking for that edgy take and are reacting to that, and the resulting controversy is driving the engagement algorithms (I mean just look at hexbear lmao), and

  2. it's fulfilling a niche that Nintendo hasn't by being an online multiplayer Pokemon-esque game that's not turn-based; just judging based on some of the clips I've seen but working together with your friends to catch a high level Pokemon-alike actually does look kinda fun. This one's really on Game Freak for allowing Pokemon to go stale by playing it safe and not innovating the game design at all, so Palworld coming in to steal Nintendo's lunch money here's pretty deserved, I think. (Although yeah, I guess Ark did it first but the cartoony character designs are doing a lot of heavy lifting in making the on-screen action legible).

The first screen treatment is kinda whack. Second had potential as a kinda "White People Get Colonised" allegory like War of the Worlds until this banger dropped:

There was no longer private property

and I just lost it

Edit: Oh shit the Galactic Emperor is Literally Hitler I'm fucking dying why wasn't this greenlit

Edit2: Oh god we almost had another live-action Gundam like G-Saviour, with even worse computer graphics

As a capitalist, you should hold these beliefs, because chasing after ever increasing profits is obviously unsustainable and will destroy capitalism. Steady profits year on year is what you, a capitalist, should want, because that’s how you keep capitalism fucking going.

The problem is that if you settle for steady profits, your competitors with no scruples will outdo you. If they outdo you enough times, they'll buy your company and/or drive you out of business, and then you'll have no profits.

Most rational system big-cool

When I was a kid, I used to pick all the super outlandish dialogue options just to see how far the game would accommodate absolute incoherence.

But then they stopped making games like Fallout and started making games like Mass Effect.

Nowadays I don't really have time to do novelty runs and I don't find it fun to play as an asshole so yeah, it's communism time in Disco Elysium Baay-beeeee! dubois-dance

(And my Baldur's Gate 3 character is a goody-two-shoes so now Astarion won't bang me, THERE ABSOLUTELY ARE BLOODY CONSEQUENCES kiryu-dame-da-ne )

Trying to find the seasons of the One Piece anime that haven't been uploaded to Netflix yet (and were taken down from Crunchyroll and Funimation) turned me into the King of the Pirates. straw-hat-pirates

Tonight We Riot

It's a very short arcade game, but the devs are comrades and should be supported.
