Not sure we would be better served, as anyone who is reading this article or commenting has got to be middle aged.

And we all have seen the times in one form or another.

Yeah, each gen will have their own takes on characters we like and do not. But like the LOTR novels, HP, etc ... most people, even new people have a take on a few characters here and there.

But you are certainly right, heavily influenced by age range. Like anyone who talks about their favorite Saturday night cast, is basically signaling the age they started watching SNL.

I am a huge proponent of 'ownership' in any form for mass consumer media, that is video games. Just like books, albums, dvds, magazines, etc.

From what I understand this one time check is to ' when someone buys a digital game then refunds it, but just unplugs the machine from the internet and continues to play it.' A one time check after, and then no more. You can turn your machine off and back on.

Yeah, this is also to collect data on that purchase, we all know this and it sucks.

EU, Ca, and more are trying to push more rights for consumers in regards to digital media. Including the rights to resale, gift, or trade.

I would also like for publishers to provide a physical copy upon request for any digital game sold/ at any time after- with in reason.

Sadly, gamers just do not vote.

Grew up on shonen action animes. Cut my teeth on heavy sci fi fantasy anime. Have seen it all.

This slice of life is a SSR tier (lol) anime, as good as any tv show on any medium. Not just the animation and how they use it, but also the narrative and the way it is written by (Shinichi Fukuda) who is just ... unimaginably talented.

Also Cloverworks and the team that has brought this anime from manga to life, deserves so many accolades. I have not seen and anime so full of life and narrative in its short 24 mins before.

It blows past Attack on Titans, Vinland Saga, and solo leveling animes-- like they were standing still.

No weak episodes, not weak characters. It is one of the best animes to have come out.

What ever reason you may not have watched this anime, take a second to lift those reservations and try a 10/10 anime, even if it is not in the genre you may normally watch.

James Mueller I just do not see this.

I mean in modern day life we promote careers, hobbies, and activities that support everything from modeling, onlyfans, advertising, yoga pants, ... well you name it.

MY dress up darling, written by a woman and visualized in manga and anime by her - I feel, wants a simple narrative of young people enjoying roles and interest that may not be the normal.

From girl otakus, to role playing different sexes, to hobbies and talents that is in the creative spaces and not traditional.

It is one of the few animes where the women will talk to each other without it being about- a man, children, love/jealously, or a role as housewife. They talk about cameras, picture taking, and coping with trauma. Including the male characters.

Yes, it is in a candy coating of cute anime girls, in fanservice, though season two actually had NO fanservice as traditionally defined.

The hina dolls is more about a traditional creative skill set, that has a more entertaining context - Gojo crushes on the dolls, then say he was dressing up as a geishas', or something boring like traditional calligraphy or kanji. There are anime about these subjects.

Yes, this show has a wink and nod within sexuality like Three Company - which is entertaining, but I have never seen it push a message of anything other then - it is okay to be different and enjoy things that are not in traditional roles.

Yeah, but we have Kash Patel and he is so much better then Skinner ever was. Who better to lead the FBI, baby. I mean he sees everything, all at once.

LOL, our FBI really wants you to believe in UFOs now.

ChuckDizzle04 So say they only sale ONE game, one single game in a year. The investment block that the publisher used to fund the game would still get around 30%. Like an old movie, song, book, that is not past copyright holders- will still get some form of compensation.

MSGD would still have to pay to keep the cod games on GP even if no one is playing them. Just having them listed, costs money. Of course it is not one game, and people will play them, and just having them listed costs money. But like you said, so old that nobody is buying them new anymore- would not that investment towards new IPs / games be better spent. Would the traffic to Gamepass be worth needing to recoup the cost?
