  • I think it’ll just keep sinking for a long time. The US has been hell for a very long time. It’s just gotten worse.

    It’s illegal to revolt against the state, and it’s illegal for individual states to seek independence. And that’s for the nation with the strongest armed forces in the world.

    I predict a slow, boring descent into a corporatist dystopia.


  • Their only chance at a defense (and it’s incredibly bad) is arguing that they only stole the stuff but didn’t distribute it to others. Kinda like buying drugs is typically not as severely punished as selling them.

    But yeah I really don’t think copyright laws are gonna change in a way that makes happy little individual piracy easier. Meta might want that at this very moment, but they’ll for sure feel differently about THEIR intellectual property.

    Without even thinking about big vocal IP holders like Disney.














  • If you want to see a lighter take on gambling, maybe Kakegurui or No Game No Life.

    If you want death game stuff, maybe Btooom!. Mirai Nikki is also a classic in the same vein. Much more over the top would be the Fate series (Fate Stay Night, Fate Unlimited Blade Works, Fate Zero, etc.) Much less intense but still enjoyable was Death Parade. And we’re getting pretty far from the theme but theoretically Sword Art Online checks the death game box; reviled by true connoisseurs 🍷, I still think it’s plenty enjoyable if you don’t think about it too deeply.

    If you’re looking for something in the “psychological” category, I can recommend Psycho-Pass for something serious with action, Oshi no ko for something serious with drama ,or Kaguya-sama wa kokurasetai! for a lighter take.


  • I’ve read it.

    Yes. Very unprofessional that the contacts in private ended up the way they did.

    Also unprofessional that Linus thought Steve was ignoring him when he was just texting the wrong number.

    But those sound a lot more like incompetence than malice to me. A lot of the story is things that could’ve been solved with better communication.

    The “scale of blame” definitively sounds like it’s tilted towards LMG. But I don’t really care about that right now. What I care about is that I really hope they talk for real instead of trying and failing to understand each other by text/email and then involving the audience in their fight by taking it public.

    I want them to talk like adults, and I want to stop feeling like I’m being made to watch a children’s quarrel.
