@flopathoncc popularity.report showed a spike of players in D2 this week and there are likely more people playing it than Marathon.

Destiny 2 daily peaks: under 10K on Steam.
Marathon: dropped from 7K to ~35K in three weeks.
Bungie is now running two dying games at the same time.
Sony must be thrilled.

Both Obama and Biden ran on a platform of “let’s return to normal and let bygones be bygones, because republicans deep down just want to move beyond partisanship”
It’s been the Dem message for almost *20 years*. And no Dems even want to pretend to believe it anymore

This glorious Garland bashing from a normie Dem, Pritzker’s Project 2029 and the rise of Newsomism makes the prospect of a post-norms Democratic Party feel exhilaratingly likely. It’s a huge deal—even a moderate president could be far better than Biden if they ditch the norms.

@NZeroG @Martian_Ranger Take all of the Kamen Rider elements out of the show and what are you left with?
English
@samekire @Martian_Ranger what do you mean kamen rider branding you do know its also part of the air master universe right?
English
Alright, for those who have seen both shows, out of curiosity... left or right?
Both shows are 'meta', addressing their respective franchises as actual tv shows in-universe while their main characters work on becoming 'official' in a sense, and are skewed to an older audience.
English
@HimeOnion @Martian_Ranger It's just a distilled, satirized version of the original show for a modern audience who can't watch anything older than 10 years.
English
@samekire @Martian_Ranger I mean I do agree about the pacing especially with fight scenes being more like a slideshow copying frames from the manga and less fluid transitions from frame to frame.
Also despite Shocker being it's Showa iteration they avoid it's social commentary despite an adult audience
English
@RohrbaughTj @Martian_Ranger How long was that tournament arc between 4 people?
English
@ChichiueSFW @Martian_Ranger Some, yeah. But there are plenty of others that put together strange concepts that led to very unique shows.
English
@samekire @Martian_Ranger funny enough you could say that about a lot of rider shows so yeah tojima fits lmao
English
@oranberryyy @Martian_Ranger I only watched S1 of Akibaranger when it aired so I don't really remember it. That's why I didn't say anything about it. I only said something about Tojima.
English
@samekire @Martian_Ranger That's a nonsensical statement that could also be said about Akibaranger, doesn't mean it's true. You can't just remove the noodles from your spaghetti and go "see? it's not good without the main ingredient!"
English
@mark_bril @Gibboanxious I get what you're saying but I have never had this issue so I don't know what to tell you lol. Sorry, man.
English
@samekire @Gibboanxious I like film grain, it's just very intense in some movies and actually gets in the way.
English
Imagine investing in a high-end OLED TV and a UHD player, then asking this.
English
@SanaSinial @Martian_Ranger Most people know what KR is, but watching anything older than 2010 is anathema. Satire and meta commentaries are all they can handle.
English
@samekire @Martian_Ranger Many people who watch Tojima doesn't even know about Kamen rider.
English
@Martian_Ranger They're both equally bad. Flamenco is good for the first 11 episodes then it just turns into a crappy satire. And the last 2 episodes are miserable.
English
…The thing about pairing Samurai Flamenco and Tojima Rider is that the discussion will be even more one-sided.
I like both shows, but no way in hell is anyone thinking Tojima Rider is better than Samurai Flamenco.
But, go ahead! Anyone want to argue against that?
Kai Kazuhiro@kaimax61
@Martian_Ranger Not really Comparable tbh. You'd have a much more interesting discussion if it's Samurai Flamenco with Tojima wants to be a Kamen Rider.
English
@mark_bril @Gibboanxious Grain is an inherent characteristic of movies shot on film. That's just how it is. It can be removed digitally, but it drastically alters the image.
English
@Gibboanxious I've just started buying 4k blu rays and I use my Xbox series X as a player. I don't yet have an OLED TV. I tried watching 300 in 4k the other night and I was shocked but how much grain it had. maybe I'm a moron but that seems a fault rather than a feature.
English
@pasta_bushido @Gibboanxious Did you not see the Predator or Sword in the Stone remasters? Get your eyes checked, gang.
English
@Gibboanxious Hot take: film grain must be cleansed from all modern remasters.
English
@yashendra2797 @PaulTassi @ForbesGames I'm terrible at math but quick sums in my head says D2 has more players now and was only beaten by Marathon launch weekend
English
@PaulTassi @ForbesGames Wouldn't this mean even "low" performing Destiny 2 expansions like EoF had a similar/higher revenue with a significantly higher profit?

New ‘Marathon’ Sales, Playercount Reports Are Close To Reality via @ForbesGames
I checked in about those new Alinea estimates, and those figures are in fact close to the actual numbers at Bungie

@AutismCapital No one here has heard about the private credit bubble, I see

Please please PLEASE don't let Private Equity get into Anime. We have ONE good thing remaining. PLEASE don't let anime become corporate globoslop. WE'RE BEGGING YOU. Let us have this ONE thing.

A good friend of mine is Muslim (he’s from Turkey). He was gracious enough to invite my wife and I to his home a few weeks ago for Iftar. It was incredible. He taught us about his religion, culture and so much more. Him and his wife fed us one of the best meals I’ve ever had.
Again, if you want to limit yourself to people who only act, believe, look and love like you do, it’s your loss. You’re losing at life.

🚨 RED STATE TAKEOVER: ISLAMIZED UTAH - Governor’s Mansion CONQUERED by Islam! Utah’s Republican Governor Spencer Cox opened the Governor’s Mansion for Ramadan - hosting the first-ever Iftar there in 2024. He welcomed Muslim leaders into the official state residence, where it was transformed into a mini-mosque with prayer mats and all. Cox BOWED to Islam and let the Governor’s Mansion be CLAIMED for Allah! This is a deep-red state (GOP trifecta, Trump landslide) being surrendered from the very top by its own Republican governor. I promise you there are no Islamic nations wearing crosses and importing holy water to accommodate Christians. Zero reciprocity. Just one-way conquest of American government spaces for Allah. Utah, your Republican governor, handed the people's mansion over for Islamic rituals. Why!? Wake up before more of your state falls...

@s_front91178 @TukiFromKL Why would I ever take the opinions of a commie seriously?
English
@samekire @TukiFromKL Why are Westerners so fixated on this "Third World" term? What exactly is this Third World? India and Pakistan are definitely not Third World countries.

🚨 Do you understand what X is about to do?
He's giving every creator a "mute entire countries" button.
The guy who spent $44 billion to "save free speech" is about to let you build borders on a social media app.
And the wildest part is the first people celebrating it are the same ones who screamed about censorship for three years straight..
Free speech.. Unless you're from the wrong zip code.
