うるせぇよ。 好きだったら金貯めて買うだけだろ。 シンプルだよ。 話をややこしくするな。 俺は雨漏りして、床の抜ける家に住んでたよ。 それでも飯を食わないで画材を買ったし、優先順位が変動する事が無かったから今もやってるし。 それが出来ないなら、出来ない環境から抜け出せ。 俺は親からも、やれないと思った環境からも全部逃げないとやれないと悟ったから逃げたよ。

I’ve spent the past few days researching the circumstances in different countries, including financial situations. I understand that for many people, pirate sites are the only way they can read manga. I also understand that prices can be higher overseas. I’ve even seen people saying, “Don’t bring this issue up.” But if we do not speak up now, the value of Japanese manga and creative works, built through the sacrifices and relentless efforts of those who came before us, will be wasted. I’ve also seen people say, “Reading for free doesn’t hurt sales.” That is not true. “Free” lowers the value of things. Once people grow used to getting something for free, they stop looking toward legitimate versions. (I also understand that people who truly love a work will support it properly.) We pour ourselves into creating so readers can enjoy our work. Compensation matters, of course, but more than anything, I do not want to see its value diminished. To help people who cannot afford to buy it, or who do not have access to it, enjoy these works, Ando and I have been discussing this for a long time and exploring many ideas. I cannot share details yet, but we are working on it. Publishers are making efforts as well. I’m sorry it is taking time. But please stop hurling accusations like, “You are racists,” or saying misguided things like, “Piracy is free promotion for you.” We will continue doing everything we can so everyone can enjoy manga. And I ask one thing in return: please try to understand our perspective and our culture as well. ※I’m using a translation app.

People who don't drink and smoke, how do you manage stress?

People are more hyped to see Doctor Doom interact with Steve Rogers than Reed Richards. That should tell you enough.

The IGN review of Mouse PI For Hire is like a parody of game journalists. They gave the game a 6/10 (reminder that they gave Black Ops 7 a 7/10) for the following reasons: -Too many cheese references (in a world of mice) -You kill too many people (yes, really. You kill people in a shooter, what a surprise) -There isn't enough noir (in a game inspired by 1930s Mickey Mouse cartoons) -Too many references to old movies (in a game explicitly inspired by 1930s cinema) -There's too many arenas where you have to kill all enemies (in a fucking boomer shooter) -The game's story is not serious enough to be a true noir (when did the fucking game ever CLAIM to be a true noir? It's a fucking cartoon) This motherfucker seriously looked at a satirical game inspired by 1930s Mickey Mouse cartoons and expected to play LA Noire or some shit. Games journalists are not real people, man.
