Me watching Kill La Kill
It's partially a joke, but there is non-negligible subsection of privileged gay men who believe than any form of femininity is beneath them, to the point of misogyny. They believe that trans women, femme presenting NBs, and even femme leaning cis gay men are lesser than them. Hence the joke among the queer community that "they hate women more than they like men".
Reading Peter Thiel's essay, it certainly seems to reflect the mentality of those types of people I've interacted with IRL. Fortunately they are drowned out by the rest of the queer community.
I thought the comics covered that? I haven't read them, so I'm not 100% sure
I wonder if Peter Thiel is that type who's gay not because he loves men, but because he hates women...
Ok but again, are they ports or did new content go into it? Did a whole new soundtrack and full orchestral recording go into your 60 Capcom games? There IS a labour difference between adding new/upscaling the content vs porting it to new hardware and calling it a day.
Saying "call it what you want" is pretty disrespectful to the people actually working on modernizing these games (I'm one of those people).
They aren't though? They're not ports, they're partial rebuilds of the games in Unity with native resolution support, new pixel art, full arrangement of most of the music, and huge QoL and gameplay improvements/modernization.
I'm not a huge fan of SqEnix's money grabbing (see: literally any of their FF gatcha content), but the Pixel remasters are one of the few that are actually worth it...at $50 for the whole bundle. Not $25/ remastered game.
Am I hallucinating, because there was definitely a bundle that had all 6 remasters that I got... for $50 in 2022 I wanna say? All 6 are in my library and there is no way I spent $25x6 (or whatever the price is, I know FF I and II are lower in price).
Me AND my cat live with my parents too!
Rent is too damn high, man.
...I should go catch up on Chainsaw Man...
Shounen Jump is a great example. It works, it's readers find value in it enough to pay for subscriptions, and it clearly has some sort of profitability. A great model of what other manga magazines could do, but they refuse because most of them are run by dinosaurs and would rather cry "piracy is ruining our profits wah" when they DON'T EVEN HAVE A PRODUCT in the market to profit from!
I mean seeing how negative and pissy some sects of the users are on lemmy.world, I can't really blame them. The technology and gaming community on there are so unhelpful and the comments are just variations of "enshittification" or "modern gaming/tech sucks" which...yeah we know, we're on Lemmy.
At least Beehaw users, in my experience, actually read the articles and discuss the topics at hand. Even if there is a lower userbase to engage with, I end up learning something new or productive.
