what is the new spiral anime

edit:looked it up, that’s so cool that there’s a new junji ito anime! what a time to be alive!

ALL HAIL THE HYPNOTOAD

I will never miss an opportunity to recommend Welcome to Nightvale, it’s a fiction podcast that takes place in a small desert town where every conspiracy theory is true. anything more than that would be a spoiler, best to just jump in at ep1 completely blind imo.

hahaha it’s gotten called “already dawn” or “after dawn” a lot because they shifted it from cool lighting (that looks like the middle of the night lit by moonlight) to warm lighting (that looks like evening or morning light) so I thought “night and day” was a nod to that. the graphical fidelity is a lot better, but it wasn’t even bad in the original and the mood shift caused by the lighting change seems very unbefitting of the story and it also seems like they’ve cut idle animations? which is an insane choice the characters seem so dull and lifeless without them

ahhh I see what you did there, you sly devil you.

does them adding new content somehow detract from your ability to do whatever it was you liked to do before said content was added?

“I hate that expansions are provided at no additional cost, and also it costs too much” is kinda one of the wildest takes on the game I’ve ever heard ngl

BS comes out next month btw!

example 1 is from a year ago, 2 is new so it may still be a thing but likely something they’ve already dealt with and 3 is from “someone close to CVC” how on earth are you gonna take that as fact?

from mod ayiza’s response to that 3rd one:

"To give some context in the form of data, here are some ban stats:

Last year we banned over 6.9 million accounts.

So far in 2024, each week on average, we ban over 2,300 RuneScape accounts.

So far in 2024, each week on average, we ban over 67,000 Old School RuneScape accounts.

Of these accounts, 2,800 are for botting popular boss-related content.

Each week, around 1.5T GP is removed from the RuneScape economy.

Each week, around 900B GP is removed from the Old School RuneScape economy. "

they’re playing wack-a-mole because there’s no possible way to preemptively ban bots, but they’ve done a good job of it and will continue to.

they’ve done a really good job culling the bots in osrs, imo the biggest hurdle in it is the long boring grinds it takes to get to midgame pvm where it starts getting really really fun.

I’d also say that if you think rs3 is the default game you are very mistaken

osrs has been the more popular game by far for almost a decade now.

???

is this loss?

back in MY DAY gamers used to pick themselves up by their bootstraps and get a second job if they wanted to game!

(in case you need it /s, this casual ableism is gross. if you wanna push that the artists deserve to be paid for their work that’s one thing, attacking OP for being frustrated that they can’t afford it is another one entirely. do better.)

maybe this is a joke going over my head but you just described a liver transplant. what blew my mind was learning that they don’t take the old liver out, they just squish the new one(the healthy liver sliver if you will) in and let it do it’s thing

they’re producers. they produce the music. a disc jockey(DJ) plays music with turntables*, no requirement for producing the music they play. a producer can DJ as well as produce but calling a producer a DJ is like calling Metallica a cover band.

*iykyk (this is intentionally reductionist for simplicity’s sake)

gestures wildly at the entire genre of disco

okay I need more info, what were the sessions like? were you just RPing working on a farm in medieval times with DnD as a framework for that?

I was just thinking today about how I want a tattoo along the lines of “even the ones with digital watches”, great timing!

ohhh yeah I figured my take was only tangentially related but it’s even further than I thought. yeah that stuff is silly and also denies the existence of nb folx, lame. I’ve been (somewhat) successful in using “they” to refer to anyone that I don’t directly know the gender of for inclusivity’s sake. it really isn’t that hard to get used to if you’re willing to make an effort.

agreed for humans, but I do like calling cars/boats/bikes/machines “she”. makes me feel like a pirate :)

yeah they don’t reach temps to melt titanium
