Borderline? A lot of these are straight up apologetic. “Oh, it’s okay for protagonist-kun to have sex with 13 year-old-chan because he’s in the body of a 13 year old himself, which means he has the mentality of a 13 year old.” Okay, cool…how many years of life has he personally experienced? 42, you say? Interesting…why don’t you have a seat over here, random light-novel author-san?
Almost all shonen anime are power fantasies to some extent. Isekai stories are especially bad about this. Most of them are power fantasies about someone being reincarnated in another world with an absolutely ungodly level of power that they didn’t have to work for or earn. The only ones that aren’t are the ones that are explicitly attempting to at least partially deconstruct the genre. So I wouldn’t say it’ll pivot to power fantasy, but rather it’ll come up with a new form of power fantasy. Personally, I’m glad that romcom anime are getting more popular. You can tell which ones are for women because all the hot male characters have very full lips and instead of the studio blowing all their money on big fight scenes, they just animate the hell out of ballroom dance scenes.
Eh, not really. Always Online DRM is going to be even more of a thing in the future than it is now. It’ll be so baked into the application that any attempt at patching it will take so long that it’ll exceed the normal lifetime of the game itself.
I just looked at the product page and every single image makes me dislike this product more than the last. The goddamn thing probably weighs 10 pounds and comes with fucking wheels.
Edit: Apparently it weighs 37 pounds. I don’t know how they crammed that much bullshit into a 18 by 9 by 20 box, but they did and then they slapped wheels on it. The wheels are probably considered a two thousand dollar “value” by Apple, though.
“Here is a work around to fix [weird bug in production]:”
“Edit: Disregard the above. It fixes [weird bug in production] but causes [bad thing] to happen.”
“Edit 2: Apparently the first edit is wrong. It doesn’t cause [bad thing] to happen. Bad thing just happened to occur simultaneously the first time I did the workaround.”
“Edit 3: [weird bug in production] has been fixed. This workaround is no longer needed.”
“Edit 4: Turns out [weird bug in production] we fixed is what allowed our systems to communicate with one another. Had to rollback change. Work around is now considered ‘the fix’ going forward.”
“Edit 5: Turns out it DOES cause [bad thing] to happen, but [bad thing happening] is a core component of our system’s design and also PAYROLL NEEDS IT TO FUNCTION?!”
Crazy that you’re the only person I’ve found in the thread that realizes this. Generational theory largely accepts that the concept of monolithic generations is reductive. Yes, people born in and around the same time can have shared cultural experiences, but the idea that those are what purely shape you ideologically or that you behave as a component of a monolith are ludicrous. And then there’s subgenerations, microgenerations, etc. Just look at the sociological research of Karl Mannheim for a very complex discussion on the topic.
Generalizing is fine and a useful tool in certain situations. In others, it’s not, and can in fact be very harmful. It’s also sometimes good to explain why you support one versus the other in a particular scenario. Y’know…because that’s how conversations work.
Yes... pirated cars will definitely fix the problem (slrpnk.net)
