Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Added note on Nier Automata.

Holy. ***... I have not had a game that was that much of an emotional roller coaster and draw in since... well... FFIX probably.

Graphics, story, music, gameplay, customization, combat, challenge; This game is a true gem, and goes as far as to challenge your views and actions on the world and even pushes you to make sacrifices (I'll avoid delving into my meaning on that).

Play it.

Even if you have never played Nier or Drakengard before, seriously.


Do it.

The Magazine foots the bill for anime adaptations and Young Animal isn't rolling in cash. They have a bimonthly release circulation of just 120,000 issues sold with issues costing around $3-$5. Compared to WSJ having a weekly release of 2.15 million issues sold, Young Animal sells around 1/36 the amount WSJ does in a 2 week period.
Young Animal is mostly filled with sexy romantic comedies like Futari Ecchi and still relies on putting pin up girls on the cover to sell new issues. Berserk has been with the magazine since it was created 27 years ago, but its content makes it an anomaly compared to every other manga series published there.
Due to the mature content, there aren't many animes made from the magazine that air on TV (Berserk managed to squeeze by due to airing late at night and editing out genitalia). They make 12 episodes of a series at the most which is usually direct to DVD.
Animes are usually produced at a loss so the way the publishers make up their losses is by increased sales of the new manga volumes. But since Miura has a sporadic release schedule, they could only have one volume out by the time the anime was airing. Berserk has a lot more action compared to other series YA makes an adaptation for and they can't rely on cost saving measures like panning out shots used repeatedly. So they're resorting to poorly implemented CGI for the action in order to save costs.
tldr version, the magazine can't cover the costs for proper animation due to low circulation sales of the magazine and inadequate forms of alternative revenue.

About ready to throw out all my Playstation related products.
I bought 2 years of PS+ last week, redeemed the codes just fine. Yesterday I got an email from their legit email address about a voucher for a free 3 months and 3 months of PS Vue. I only want to redeem the 3 months of PS+, so I go to login and use the voucher. I have a 36 character password WRITTEN DOWN, not saved anywhere, that I typed in (no chance of making mistakes, like a O and a 0), no caps lock on, and it says invalid password. I try again a few more times before resetting my password completely. Went through fine, go to login with new password, still incorrect.

Trying to get on Chat Support but it's not loading.
Google says ALL Playstation Services are up and running, so there's no maintenance.

What the ***.

bunch of useless fluff.

Any word on if Star Citizen is coming out yet, or do they need another yeardecade of crowdfunded millions?

TFW you're being so annoying with Pharah on OW that the other team accidentally puts it in group chat asking to "Can we please kill that Pharah?"

>>;.....

luckily Osira is a nice counter to Pharah, otherwise these nerfs to grandma her mom gilf Ana would really supersuck since she was arguably the hard counter to Pharah before

"Can we please kill that Pharah?"

I feel like they need another category for Bruisers. Roadhog, Bastion, D.Va, etc., Osira kinda falls between Bruiser and Tank imo

This needs to be put into the game's communication wheel.
