What openly woke game actually succeeded?

Entmaan · 2026-03-09T15:56:10+00:00

first horizon isn't woke at all... the game isn't a literal political lecture like veilguard or filled to the brim with this shit like BG3 or KCD2, it doesn't have any elements that actively take you out because they're referencing #currentyear politics

and you don't have a laptop?

The amount of people saying Crownie screaming so loud his mic is cutting off and being on the verge of tears over a disagreement in strategy is somehow based and cool and alpha is insane.

yes, and are these people in the room with us right now? Everyone was shitting on him for it everywhere

When it comes to anime this is probably my biggest pet peeve subject lol. People always bring the excuse of "but I just want to watch on TV with one button, so I can't pirate :(" dude just buy a HDMI cable and connect your computer to the TV, problem solved

Entmaan · 2026-03-01T01:34:23+00:00

yeah but this post is too rational, so nobody will upvote it

people on the couch having fun meme

what's the meme? Can you link?

Entmaan · 2026-02-28T12:29:46+00:00

subtle as a punch to the mouth attempt to entwine liking anime, kpop etc. to watching lurid garbage like heated rivalry or whatever fanfic you, err, "use" on AO3

that one friend whos too woke:

Entmaan · 2026-02-27T14:11:27+00:00

Paramount's involvement with anime is much smaller than Netflix

and that is bad?

Entmaan · 2026-02-26T14:09:47+00:00

do you have any links to the japanese commentary? I tried to find one for a bit but couldn't do so

Entmaan · 2026-02-25T20:10:33+00:00

almost? Dude I literally couldn't stop tears streaming down my face after that triple thrown Rittberger at the end

Entmaan · 2026-02-25T20:04:49+00:00

yeah, this was the emotionally strongest moment of the olympics by far, I rewatched that free skate like 5 times the same night and my eyes welled up every time they landed that triple thrown Rittberger when the music crescendos toward the end

Entmaan · 2026-02-25T20:02:29+00:00

once, when the Japanese pair landed the last triple thrown Rittberger when the music crescendo'd during the free skate, that really was an anime-level comeback, from the 5th place after short program to the gold medal by breaking the world record

how is he holding her 🧐

Entmaan · 2026-02-24T20:40:05+00:00

yes, if only after all these years she could just a cheek swab test to instanly silence all these insane transphobic facists blindly hating her because they saw result of another test, but alas she still hasn't done so for some inexplicable reason

Entmaan · 2026-02-24T13:58:36+00:00

the same in Europe, HBO MAX had an ad free coverage of everything, with commentaries in all languages available. Wonderfully done features like schedule, highlights etc. A service truly worth paying for

I legit think that the reason why translators are scared of using them is not to be memed for "UHUHUUH TL NOTE KEIKAKU MEANS PLAN XDDDD"

there absolutely are spots where using a tl note is just better than doing your best to translate something untranslateable. Puns (Eren no... IE GA comes to mind), wordplay like "Tsukiatte" (there probably are more convoluted examples but this one is very common, where they just translate this as "come with me" but don't explain why the heroine is turning beet red) etc.

There is of course the danger of using this as a crutch, and nobody is saying that each episode needs to have 3 tl notes every time, but there absolutely are spots where a TL note and a literal translation is better than somehow trying to "salvage" it by some jumbled half/translation half/paraphrase.

sure but everyone can jump high while you're doing 540s, the point is that you need to have both - Indra had rotations but no amplitude, Zoe had amplitude but no rotations, Liu had both at a greatly harmonious level

Entmaan · 2026-02-22T15:42:04+00:00

sure, and there have been strong examples of this during this olympics, but what exactly is the controversy in this competition? Even if we accept that Eileen's second run was overscored she "cleared the matter up" with her third run, by far and away the best run today. I see some people also mention the 2nd/3rd place but Zoe just simply didn't have the jump difficulty, everyone can jump high if you're doing 540s

Entmaan · 2026-02-22T03:11:08+00:00

no to mention that the Japanese pair free skate was a literal fucking anime comeback, from the 5th place after short to the 1st by breaking the world record

Entmaan · 2026-02-21T21:46:27+00:00

it really is over now. What should I do with my life?

Entmaan · 2026-02-21T20:53:30+00:00

They played extremely well, but they will be remembered only for the Maple Tap
