Don’t Think, Just Jam
I get that, it’s just if there’s no mod to post it I think it’s better to have a topic rather than not, especially since it can be pinned afterwards if any mod stumbles into the community again.
We could also bully them into setting up a bot that would post those automatically but this might have its own issues since some people disable bot submissions.
Majikoi! Love Me Seriously! S - it’s a wacky visual novel about a group of high-schoolers in a world where melee combat is pretty much commonplace and all the girl MCs are action manga level of strong. Series is hilarious and I can’t stop playing it after getting swept of my feet by Momo in the first game (ended up blazing through it in two days which doesn’t happen often these days). This one is a sequel with the same (though epanded) crew and I really can’t wait to jump back in.
As for the monthly thread, I feel like if it doesn’t happen “officially” the first person to have something to write should just post one themselves instead of waiting. Not like there’s a lot of activity here so it should remain visible long enough to gain traction.
This has be kindasortagenerally known already, it just doesn’t really matter if nothing is done about it.
TL;DW:
This is a simplified version of simplified version, watch the video for more info.
Yeah, I just watched the Ubisoft Forward stream with some additional details on the new update. Can’t say I’m a fan but whatever - guess they still can’t let go of their obsession with him.
I might be missing something since I’m not completely dialed in with TD lore but didn’t we kill Keener? Are they bringing him back or will this just be more of his usual gloating through audio logs? I’m not sure how I feel about either of those options.
Guess I’ll wait for a full detail breakdown before thinking about coming back.
That doesn’t seem to do much for me unfortunately. In my case the potential time I need to reserve for a gaming session tends to take precedence over hype whenever I’m in a lazy, scroll-focused rut. Still trying to get back to a recent(ish) release I was super hyped playing during its beta period… At least I have a semi decent explanation for this one, I guess.
While I can’t provide you with a proper scientific answer I can offer a basic explanation - it’s effort.
Browsing through the never ending amount of content online requires no effort but provides you with a dopamine rush as if you actually managed to accomplish or do something with your time. Other stuff, like watching movies, playing games, reading books, etc. requires attention and active participation, the payoff on the other hand is largely delayed (especially compared to the lazy option).
As for hacks… I don’t know any. The only ways I know how to deal with it is limiting your time scrolling through this stuff and forcing yourself to do other things - it can be rough early on but you’ll eventually get used to the “normal” way of functioning.

Ahhh, gotcha. I checked the links in OP this time and honestly the NFSU version sounds like many radio edits I heard before so I’m not sure what to tell you. Couldn’t find an official radio version to compare but I don’t really hear anything strange there.
Is it a ham-fisted way to do it? Sure. Personally I chuck it up to the fact not every label bothers with a less noticeable edit for their songs.
A lot of explicit music has (or used to have) a “radio version” which silenced or changed the offensive language so they could be used in places and products aimed at a younger audience. That’s what this is.
Music isn’t the only thing with censored cuts. Have you ever seen old TV versions of mature rated movies? Die Hard, Scarface and many others had swearing redubbed in corny and unfitting ways just so they could be played on the small screen.
It’s just another way of “protecting” kids from one thing while completely disregarding other, more screwed up elements still present in the same media.

Just appeal to another AI - two of them can’t be wrong at the same time, I’m sure of it!
They’re going to replace them with an AI powered tool, aren’t they? If they’re going to replace them at all that is.
That’s both horrible and hilarious - piracy serves a better product ones again…
Just so we’re clear, I completely agree with everything you wrote here. At the same time, I’ve seen people seriously holding the opinion you started with and those are the ones I was talking about. These are just my random musings though, they weren’t meant as a serious discussion about fandom or how this project will be received. All I know is I’ll be there for more GitS.
Totally, I’m just curious because from what I’ve heard manga is a bit more humorous than the movies/shows so it might be a bit of a shock (especially for those who don’t even know about the source material). I also have some… interesting experience watching various fandoms being confidently wrong about a lot of official stuff so that might be why I’m thinking about it.
Anyway, I’m on board with a manga adaptation - still haven’t read the thing myself and that could be a good push to finally do it.
Were there issues with subs before? It’s been a while since I saw this one but I don’t remember having any issues with that.
I wonder how people will react to that considering the difference in mood and atmosphere between manga and anime. I’d certainly like to give it a shot.
Much obliged for that! I often think about writing on what I’m playing but end up forgetting due to time constraints - threads like this one definitely help with that.
