@sc0pro @helsic SNK boards were easy to bootleg. Capcom's weren't. More SNK machines meant more SNK player

@helsic why do chinese love kof so much?

Chinese national fitness model champion and cosplayer said it took more than 12 attemps to get Kyo's fire right for the photoshoot. What do you think?

@Chad_Concelmo The legend of heroes did it.

More RPGs need to add the feature that lets you automatically defeat enemies if you are much higher level than them. It makes exploring so much more fun.

@OliverJia1014 I feel like some ppl don't really get that there's a huge difference between everyday talk and game text. Take English as an example. Native speakers might not feel it, but non-native speakers who can communicate fluently in daily life still struggle a lot when playing CRPGs

How do you think I’ve been able to live in Japan without basic literacy skills? I read plenty, but not everyone regularly reads visual novels and encounters that kind of grammar in their daily life here. Why do people studying Japanese insist on being this petty?

@SOPincorporated @Clip_Master__ The 'gas station ban' is fake news, don't buy it. I searched for this in Chinese and couldn't find a single report about the driver being banned from refueling. All I found was that the driver's personal info was leaked and a ton of people are calling him demanding an apology

@Clip_Master__ I get that this was horribly disrespectful, but a permanent ban from all gas stations is a bit extreme isn't it?

China BANNED This Driver From All Gas Stations Nationwide After Viral Video

@Genki_JPN GTA V came out in 2013—that’s a 13-year gap if the sequel arrives this year. If you make every mainline FF game a global masterpiece, players will always remember you.

Yoshi-P says it has become harder for younger people to engage with the Final Fantasy series because the release intervals for new titles have gotten longer! "I'm 53 now, and I've been playing since Final Fantasy 1 in real time. But for younger generations – people who grew up naturally accustomed to action-based combat and online competitive play – the recent entries in the series may have been harder to engage with. Part of that is simply because I'm sorry to say... the release intervals for new titles have gotten longer, so some players haven't really had the chance to connect with the series the way older fans did." gamesradar.com/games/final-fa…

@VandeputteAdam Take Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere: great sales, but Season 3 is unlikely. The novels are brick-thick and a nightmare to adapt. Now that the studio has Love Live!, which is easier and more profitable, they’d rather put their energy there

@VandeputteAdam Others mentioned a new season is in the works, but take it with a grain of salt until it's official. Anime sequels depend on many factors: BD sales, source material growth, or if it was just a giant ad for the novels. Also, there's the studio's willingness.

@MadnessWatcher Next time, explain it simply for the fool: 100% of your money comes from your boss, but that doesn't mean 100% of the money your boss pays out is yours🤡

I just spent 15 minutes explaining to a dumdum China-hating Asian face at work that just because 80% of Iran's oil goes to China, doesn't mean 80% of the oil China consumes came from Iran. 😐

@ax10zx Considering the sheer volume of anime, many feels like an overstatement. I can think of some Japanese anime with ancient CN setting, but I can think of tons set in Europe. Look at Frieren, Spice and Wolf, AoT, D.Gray-man, The Rose of Versailles, Fullmetal Alchemist, and many more

Why is there so many japanese anime into Tang/Chinese Dynasties (not complaining) nowadays?

@frogmaster300 @Yusso_17 @QuattroMKII Not necessarily. In Ancient China, Qin revered black based on Five Elements theory, as Water (Black) conquers Fire (the previous Zhou). In Ancient Egypt, black also meant rebirth, symbolizing the fertile soil from the Nile. It’s far more than just a symbol of death

@Yusso_17 @QuattroMKII historically the black flag has always been soaked in blood, death, and misery, regardless of culture: adapting it for your culture is usually really telling on your true mindset and philosophy.

@XC_Enel I remember ppl saying Reconguista in G was hard to follow cuz of its rushed pacing. G-Reco only had 26 episodes, while even the original 0079 got 43 (cut short from 52). If a legend like Tomino gets this treatment, u can imagine the struggle for other original anime directors

Anime originals have a big problem today of not being given enough time. One of my new favorite anime I watched literally this year was Eureka Seven, something that had 50 episodes to flesh out the characters and tell its story. Modern originals maybe get 13 episodes these days.

@_is_luk_ @ChibiReviews HK HQ doesn't mean it's 'from China.' Founder Seth Fischer served in the IDF and the leadership is entirely Western. Regardless of your feelings toward China, at least respect the facts: this is an international firm that simply chose to base its operations on Chinese territory

@ChibiReviews Japan has been censoring itself to please the China market for some time... No one likes China; they just want the goodwill that anime gives to Japan

Breaking News: >Activist group buys 8% of Kadokawa to force changes for shareholders >Its a Hedge fund from China "Hong-Kong based international hedge fund management firm, has acquired a large number of shares in major Japanese anime, manga and game publisher Kadokawa"

@ChibiReviews Incorrect. Being headquartered in HK doesn't make it a 'Chinese fund.' Oasis was founded by Seth Fischer, who notably served in the IDF before his finance career, and operates as a Western-style global activist firm. Its DNA is international, not Chinese

@DreadedVendetta @serkantoto Larian & Valve. Despite recent mass layoffs, the CEOs of Larian and FromSoftware explicitly stated they won't follow the trend. Their philosophy mirrors Satoru Iwata’s: refusing to cut staff just to boost financial reports. As for Valve, they aren't public and have no plans to be

@serkantoto Is Nintendo the only company that won't take shit from big investors who clearly know nothing about entertainment? They are FAR from perfect but every other company seems to be spreading their buttocks wide open to be fucked over in the long run

In 2014, the same activist urged Nintendo to "Just think of paying 99 cents just to get Mario to jump a little higher." This ridiculous nonsense is still online: oasiscm.com/wp-content/upl… So we're in for a treat.

@davidedelledera @simonnewme @Okami13_ There are other countries besides the U.S., you know

@simonnewme @Okami13_ They said Requiem sales on PC were 50% of their total

Resident Evil Requiem sold the most copies on PS5 in the US. PS5 was the lead platform by a "meaningful margin" over PC according to Circana. Good reminder that Steam CCU counts are just one piece of data that rarely tells the full story.

@ProdigyOwl @animeupdates He's worked on 6 TV series in the last 10 years, and they're all originals. He also did 4 movies—3 were original, plus one One Piece film.

@animeupdates Why doesn't HE do more anime originals then?

'CODE GEASS' Director Goro Taniguchi worries over lack of Anime Originals "Over the last few years, adaptations have understandably become the norm because they’re easier to secure a profit on... But I believe that if left with nothing but adaptations, [anime] will be done for."

@sunmichael224 @TheFigen_ Efficiency and accuracy were worse. At 48k tons, the Soviet Typhoon was 2.7x the US Ohio. Because R-39 missiles couldn't be miniaturized, they needed a massive hull. Despite higher explosive yield, the R-39 lagged behind the Ohio's Trident in range, accuracy, and stability

@AqBones @TheFigen_ Do that increase accuracy and efficiency? I am honestly wondering here!

@ShitpostRock2 I get it—if you’ve never played a day-one release, flashy AAA graphics are tempting. People usually say that because they’re bitter they can't play the new stuff. But you only appreciate retro gems once you’ve suffered through today’s 'modern trash.'

''Some people are too poor to play videogames'' I was running emulators on my iPhone 4 when I was 12. The average low-end smartphone and pc can run PS1 and PS2 games with no problems You people lack will. Because where there is a will there is a way

@JmTradBR @bee_fumo @ShitpostRock2 It used to be a hassle a few years back, but Apple updated its App Store policy since then. Now emulators like PPSSPP and Delta are officially available on the store

@bee_fumo @ShitpostRock2 that time, yes. nowdays, no. you can even run emulators of older systems in a browser
