Gacha games.
Cons:
- core gameplay is often repetitive
- devours phone battery life
- predatory monetization practices through rewarding people with jpgs of cartoon characters
Pros:
- some of the cartoon characters are really hot
The 2ch gyaru interaction should be printed and hung in several cultural museums and be considered on the same level as transcripts of discussions between Aristotle, Socrates and Plato.

Interview with some British dude: "You are a racist?"
British guy: "Yes."
Interviewer: "Then why are you [here in Africa], breaking bread with black people?"
British guy: "Well, they're also racist."
What do you MEAN "The fourth classified US military document leak on the Warthunder forums", the third happened just yesterday.
What the fuck is going on in the Pentagon right now.
Thinking about that Russian guy who made a review of Helltaker and had a special feature of the guy who made the russian translating, in which said translator does nothing but rant for several minutes straight about how much he wants to fuck Pandemonica.

There is absolutely no way devs are not explicitly told by management to leave the audio uncompressed. Genuinely believe it's a matter of hogging disk space to reduce the odds of competitor products from being installed simultaneously.

Morbid curiosity got to me.
"One of her friends" = "Guy who hit on a married woman (aforementioned wife), got rejected, went to her/their laptop to boot Skyrim".
I actually wanna know what the bobbies are gonna do here. No children involved, spite-driven privacy breach?
German serial killer lured online 'coomers'
"Sarah (19) has been standing trial at the Bamberg district court since Friday. Prosecutor is convinced: the teenager lured admirers into a trap with the promise of quick sex and stabbed them in cold blood."
"Look at this cute developer of this cute game called Unravel. Please relate to him and focus the positive energy of your sympathy towards all our products." -EA
Evangelion getting on Netflix is a great example of a perfect monkey paw wish.
Pros: modern audiences get to see NGE.
Cons: modern discourse around NGE.

I didn't immediately notice what was going on.
When the flash happened, I closed the video. I am currently burying any and all memory and implications from my mind.
This man is simply going to have to start a new life in another country.
"Does ACAB include the goth girl from NCIS", the greatest thread in the history of forums, locked by a moderator after 12.239 pages of heated debate and 50.040 image posts featuring Jill Valentine, Victoria Seras and Kanna (Blue Archive).
I will ask Microsoft the question that game journalists would never dare:
How will their ownership of Acti-Blizz affect the thriving SFM porn community?
Theory: nobody at Twitter understands Twitter.
I don't mean "Jack doesn't understand the implications and ripples caused by its position as a huge social media platform".
I mean "the code was salvaged out of a UFO and they have to resort to hitting it and seeing what happens".

What a thought-provoking, philosophical line from a high-brow piece of cinema titled-

List of mangaka who drew Bowsette:
- Coolkyoushinja (Dragon Maid)
- a Granblue Fantasy artist (don't know name/psuedonym)
- MugenJin (Miss Executive Black General and Daily Life of Friendly Orc)
- bkub (Pop Team Epic)
Feel free to add onto this, I'll make a new list later.
People like it when political ideas are treated/tested by their own merits in a story.
People do not like being put in a chair, facing a wall with a physical caricature poster of some person from contemporary politics with the text "HE/SHE IS BAD" and be told this is art.
"You're one of the good ones" is a phrase with deeply unsettling implications. There is no context* in which its use and the associated mentality can be justified.

>Dan from Game Grumps confirmed as a groomer
>had sex with some of the girls immediately after they turned legal
Motivated to become a youtube celeb for the sole purpose of finally increasing the "does not groom minors" count to the double digits.
@Orbitaldropkick
Time for me to be a massive fucking nerd:
People have started thinking design in media is a straight, chronological line of inspiration/outright copying.
The concept of a "shared heritage" that multiple works draw from is not considered.
Everything is Boss Baby vibes, now.
Have you ever been so mad at an anime avatar mocking you on Twitter, you (pay to) create a film where a columnist kills them in order to live vicariously through that fantasy?
Can't wait for the Italian mother-son archeologist duo to find an extremely well-preserved giant ruby necklace on a joint expedition with a british archeologist and a german scientist.
I don't like it when artists draw characters without their distinct features. At least try to make your meguca faces WIDE. At least try to make Himiko Toga's open mouth look like it should: like an orc with a fantastic dental plan.
I am 100% serious about this.
There were memes - "The sacred texts!" in particular stands out - but they had no staying power relative to memes from media that people genuinely adore.
Stories aimed at anyone older than 12 are infinitely better when they have willful characters who commit heinous acts requiring great effort out of a genuine and NUANCED philosophical ideal rather than being a human-shaped force of Chaotic Evil.
You, a fool: Legend of Zelda, except you play as Zelda to save Hyrule
Me, an intellectual: "Legend of Zelda, except you play as Zelda to manage Hyrule's economy, invest in civil projects, hold court, partake in diplomacy with diplomats, keep foreign princesses away from Link's d
Thinking about how Gatebox got changed from "cute anime girl assistant" to "Susan from HR" when it crossed the Pacific.
Why would you ever want to have this in your home?
If only they had internet access as a child in the early 2000's, at least then they would understand the importance of psuedonyms, actual anonymity and observing a net community's culture before participating in it.
Still would have brain damage though.
If Lovecraft was born 100 years later, he would never have gotten around to writing anything in between posting on Twitter with a classical philosopher's bust for an avatar and posting on /pol/.

"Hey, I just noticed this one flaw about [thing] that has been there since the start and hasn't been fixed in the 8 years it's been around."
"Oh don't worry, we've had a fix for that since [2 days after release]!"
"Where?"
"The developer of [thing] only posts it in Discord!"
Hang the fuck on, Twitter wants to use tracking cookies to determine what sites its users browse and then ban them if they don't like what they see?
What the fuck?
Props to John Boyega for going "FUCK THE MOUSE", I'll raise a glass to him when the news about his tragic suicide hits during a news segment that accidentally shows a photo of three bullet holes in two different calibers at the back of his head.
ATTENTION ARTISTS:
Twitter compresses all images; even using the ":orig" trick doesn't help with this.
On top of that, the search function is awful.
Please do not use Twitter as your sole repository for your art.
An annoyingly beautiful dark-haired woman crossed with a haughty chauvinistic frog that zig-zags from annoying to endearing?
Someone has re-invented Fr*nch women.
