all political candidates who are worth millions and running for re-election I guess should be asked two questions: - why are you so rich after entering politics - why are your citizens not?

@dantemendes walk and gun.

ROBOCOP for arcade (Data East/1988), classic run-and-gun platformer based on the 1987 movie. It was very popular, leading to various home versions loosely based on it, for computers such as the ZX Spectrum and C64. Made by Ocean Software, the computer versions were major hits, specially in the UK.

@StormslayerDev if there are minimal hazards and jumps/platforming, it isnt a megaman like game.

This is Megaman as an FPS with a very awesome horde mode and it looks so incredibly fun!

@messeduppcs cgi cheaper, two of those movies did not perform in the box office. Its a phenomenon that western culture doesnt go out to pay to see adventure animations from the west.

What's the reason?

@ChibiReviews pure alcohol?

If she can purify anything.. how does she get drunk?

@AI_EmeraldApple im not japanese, but i love manga and anime- and Ive always considered it a privilege to get to experience some of their best works. learned a lot from them and their pioneering in story telling. Literally learning to read and speak it to avoid western translators...

Keep anime-manga Japanese. That's the sentiment in Japan among creators and fans who are sick of the Western anime fan base, which has been escalating since 2020... with renewed tension after GACHIAKUTA mangaka Kei Urana deactivates her X account. Along with posts like the "attention Japanese artists" message from 2021, there is a lot of new chatter on Japanese social media like LINE, art sites like Pixiv, note, and other Japanese-language communities, where there are greater calls to keep westerners away from anime, with tools like region blocks, locking comments, and keeping the fan base Japanese. They are calling the American fans the "American yakuza" as they demand insane headcanons, ship wars, or demand changes that clash with the creator's vision of the manga or anime. They want skin color changes, make characters trans or lesbian etc, or even demand changes to the story or lore to accommodate their delusional fantasies. When the demands are met with stonewalling or pushback, these "fans" engage in a full-on harassment campaign, with massively abusive language against the manga author and a general state of online freakout. This intensified since COVID, where hoodweebs, and alphabet mafia weebs have become obsessed with anime, not as legit fans, but as a manner to affirm their ideological activism. Japan wants to perserve their cultural work and its creative freedom without constant "external audits" from terminally Reddit-pilled freaks. The manga and anime industry as a whole is still chasing the global revenue stream, but the artists are closing their overseas interaction venues. The people who lose are the legit fans in the West who now lose one of their ways to communicate and show their real appreciation. But the bad actors have poisoned the well, and these psychopathic entitlement asylum residents are gonna keep on pushing the creators to gatekeep it within the JP only community, and the direct creator-fan bridge has been burned.

@DestinLegarie What a weird thing to say. Have you done the same for all businesses that failed? Circuit City? Sears? Fast food places? Taito? Data East? Just buy their shit bro! Its your fault they all died.

All you have to do to save Bungie is play Marathon even more than you played Destiny. What's the big deal?

A University of Washington psychologist spent 40 years watching 3,000 married couples argue in a glass-walled apartment, and the data he collected lets him predict, with 94 percent accuracy, which couples will divorce - in under fifteen minutes. The findings have been published in the Journal of Family Psychology and replicated by labs around the world. Almost no married person has been told what they actually say. His name is John Gottman. He runs what is now widely known as the Love Lab at the University of Washington. He built it in 1986. It is an actual research apartment with cameras hidden behind one-way glass. Couples check in for a weekend. They cook. They argue. They sleep. They make up. They have no idea which moments are being analyzed. Heart rate sensors track their nervous systems. Researchers code every facial expression, every word, every micro-shift in tone. The setup is the longest, most intimate observational study of marriage ever conducted. Over four decades, Gottman and his wife Julie have surveyed more than 40,000 couples and recorded the inner mechanics of thousands of real arguments. The data set is so deep that he and his team can now do something that sounds impossible. They can watch a couple discuss a single conflict for fifteen minutes, code what they see, and predict whether that couple will still be married six years later with 94 percent accuracy. The detail that should disturb every person in a serious relationship is what actually predicts divorce. It is not the topic. It is not the volume. It is not even whether the couple yells. It is four specific communication patterns Gottman calls the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The first is criticism. Stating a complaint as a defect in your partner's character. Not "you forgot to take out the trash," but "you are so selfish." The second is defensiveness. Treating every concern your partner raises as an attack to be parried instead of a signal to be heard. The third is stonewalling. Withdrawing from the interaction entirely. Going silent. Walking away. Refusing to engage. Gottman's data shows that about 85 percent of stonewallers are men. This is not because men care less. It is because the male nervous system floods faster and recovers slower, and silence becomes the only available exit. The fourth is contempt. Eye rolls. Mockery. Sarcasm. Name-calling. Talking down. It is the partner who looks at you like you are stupid, weak, or beneath them. Of the four, contempt is the most dangerous. Gottman calls it the single greatest predictor of divorce. It is not that contempt sometimes shows up in unhealthy marriages. It is that contempt almost never shows up in healthy ones. The presence of contempt is a near-perfect signal that the emotional contract underneath the relationship has already been broken, even if neither partner has consciously named it yet. The reason most people resist this finding is that they imagine divorce is caused by the dramatic fights. The screaming matches. The affairs. The blow-up moments. Gottman's data says the opposite. Marriages do not die from big explosions. They die from a slow accumulation of small moments of disrespect that nobody flagged at the time. A look. A sigh. A muttered word. The roll of the eyes when your partner is mid-sentence. These are not minor irritations. They are the visible surface of something the data shows is already lethal. Then Gottman found something almost no one talks about. The finding that turned a relationship study into a medical one. He measured the physical health of couples who showed regular contempt in their conversations. They had measurably higher rates of infectious illness than couples who did not. Colds. Flu. Sinus infections. Their immune systems were operating in a chronically suppressed state. Living next to someone who looks down on you was making the body sick in ways that no diet, exercise, or sleep schedule could fix. The body was treating contempt as a wound. The detail that should disturb every parent reading this is what the research showed about children raised in these homes. Gottman's data found that children of contemptuous couples missed more school days from illness, performed worse academically, and had higher rates of behavioral problems than children of couples who fought just as often but without contempt. The conflict was not the variable. The disrespect was. The reason most couples do not see contempt coming is that it does not announce itself. It builds slowly, on a foundation of small unresolved resentments. Gottman's longitudinal data shows that contempt is almost always preceded by years of unaddressed criticism. The partner who feels constantly attacked stops trying to win the argument and starts trying to win the moral high ground. They begin to look at their partner not as an equal facing a shared problem, but as a lesser human who deserves to be corrected. Once that shift happens, the marriage is already on a curve almost nobody pulls out of without serious intervention. The most uncomfortable line in Gottman's later interviews is the one almost no marriage advice book quotes. He said the absence of contempt is more important than the presence of love. Couples who fight constantly but treat each other with fundamental respect during the fights survive. Couples who barely fight but show contempt in their quiet moments do not. You can love someone and still be killing the relationship one eye roll at a time. The good news buried in 40 years of data is that the Four Horsemen have specific antidotes. Criticism has a gentle start-up. Defensiveness has accepting some responsibility. Stonewalling has a self-soothing break. Contempt has the daily practice of building genuine appreciation, on purpose, out loud, even when you do not feel it. Gottman calls this last one the most important relationship skill almost nobody is taught. The couples who survive long-term are not the ones who feel the most love. They are the ones who keep choosing to express respect for their partner even after the chemistry has cooled. You will not be destroyed by your hardest fights. You will be destroyed by the small moments your partner stops respecting you, or you stop respecting them, and neither of you notices yet that the verdict has already been written. The four-minute conversation that decided everything happened months ago. Almost nobody plays it back. You can be the one who does.

@donomally_ What is black culture? Which one? American? African? West indies? There are white people in the story. What is white culture? European? Australian? American? South american? Do you even know what you are saying.

Reality is if you're going to have black characters and black culture in your creation, you're going to attract black fans and you need to learn how to treat those fans and black people in general with respect and listen to their voices

Hideyoshi Andou (GACHIAKUTA' graffiti artist) has deactivated his X/Twitter profile Yesterday: "Guess I'll delete it too, huh. It's not even fun anymore. No matter how much I share all sorts of stuff here, if there's no one to appreciate it, there's no need to report it either."

@StarNMoon2000 @gosuprime022 @animeupdates You have an idea. In your post. This is your IP so to speak. Now as a fan of your post I want you to change it to mean the exact opposite. Just focus on typing words and make sure you change to make me happy.

@gosuprime022 @animeupdates The artist should just work her arts and let the fans do the rest. If the fans say that her characters are trans or gays, then it's the artist's works to make them the way the fans want.

Kei Urana (GACHIAKUTA) has deleted her X/Twitter profile After blocking certain individuals for criticizing her recent comments and online behavior, her account appears to have been deactivated This comes just hours after GACHIAKUTA won 3 awards earlier today

@MrEricLuddland @Awk20000 Haven't played it. What game mechanics and what skill set do you need for it. Is it a platformer?

@Awk20000 Forsen (legend) calling out asmon (grifter) for grifting over a game he hadn't played. Asmon (disgusting) only wants to shut down creativity in favour of his masters aim to dominate gaming with AI slop.

Forsen shares his review of Mixtape "I can't hear the Asmon chat over the sound of perfection..10/10 brilliancy"

Im not going to believe theres a deal or celebrate until it's formalized. I've been duped too many times. The neocons could be just pretending to be mad. Israel could sabotage. Praying for peace to win though.
