I don't know if video games were ever rock and roll, but they are not rock and roll anymore.

The new Switch is mobile only.
So, it's a Gameboy. twitter.com/AUTOMATONJapan…

In the 70s, Soviet censors tried to ban games like Pac-Man.
When Alexey Pajitnov invented Tetris, his overseers confiscated the money "for the nation".
Pajitnov wasn't rewarded for his work until the USSR collapsed.
Pajitnov now lives in America and is a millionaire.

Foreigners yelling at Japanese artists in futility is good Twitter content.

Meanwhile 4chan is working furiously to dox the ice cream for making out with a black girl. twitter.com/CBSNews/status…

They're making a new Akira anime that will follow the events of the manga.
I don't know how they'll live up to the original film, because there aren't many people left alive that can animate and paint backgrounds like that.
85
Kotaku's Chris Kohler plagiarized another person's Mario Maker level and promoted it as his own idea for blog traffic and internet clout.

And yet I am still proud while all of the megacorps took theirs off at 11:59:59 on June 30th like they were forced to wear the pink bunny pajamas grandma made for them while grandma was visiting and she finally went home.

No wonder Rich Stanton thinks that the gaming community have been silent about "Devotion".
Stanton has the gaming community blocked.
At least someone at Kotaku finally wrote a follow-up article, but it's just clickbait that is less informative than my tweets from months ago.

Kotaku's Luke Plunkett falsely reported that Mordhau's developers created an option to "turn off" characters that aren't white.

"Gaming Disorder" is trending in Japan because they talked about it on TV, but the reason why it's trending is because Japanese people are just laughing at this pie chart.
"10:00 - 18:00 work".
No Japanese have work hours like this. We have "Work Disorder".
92
Takarazuka, the all-female Japanese broadway-style troupe, is putting on a musical about Che Guevara this summer.
Takarazuka shows often focus on Japanese stories, but previous Western subjects of Takarazuka musicals include Lincoln, General MacArthur, Napoleon and JFK.

Did Netflix really censor the gay out of Evangelion to appeal to "modern American audiences"?
Nothing good from the '90s is safe.
I guess we are just living through a very conservative, risk-averse decade.

I bet Tifa won't even call people "retard" anymore.

I worry that Square hasn't filed all of the edges off of Final Fantasy 7.
The Midgar in the old game was an unflinching representation of a real slum suffering real inequities.
I'm worried the new Midgar will be a family-safe Disney theme-park that just looks like a slum.

@Polygon Anita Sarkeesian does not pay her transgender staff despite making thousands of dollars a month in donations, forcing them to ask for online donations.
There are many things Anita does which are questionable, but this is perhaps the most hypocritical.
みんなのおかん。ゲーム好き。Everyone's #01 Mom. I like video games.
