| Topic | It Doesn't Look Good for Voice Actors Right Now |
| Nemu 05/25/25 4:31:26 PM #11 | What are the voice actors even looking for? If it's basic stuff like "don't harvest our voices," that's sensible, but they're fighting a stupid battle if they're trying to bar companies from utilizing AI in the future. |
| Topic | Would you be disappointed if the next Smash game scales back to Nintendo-only? |
| Nemu 05/24/25 8:13:08 PM #26 | I can only see the path of heavy reboot and going back to like 20-40 with a heavy focus on newcomers, or simply doing Smash Ultimate Omega featuring Dante from Devil May Cry and brining back some more modes/content from older games and 5-10 new characters. I don't see them trying to do a new game while maintaining a majority of the roster. |
| Topic | Is the DMV really as troublesome and hateful as its made out in media |
| Nemu 05/24/25 10:47:06 AM #14 | I've never had any trouble with it, other than that the two closest ones are each about 40 miles away. I'd guess it's probably worse in cities and other dense areas. |
| Topic | Neil Druckmann says the fireflies could've made a viable cure (TLOU spoilers) |
| Nemu 05/22/25 6:54:50 PM #17 | God, I hate writers like that who can't avoid shitting up their own already complete narratives. |
| Topic | Starfield got a new update and of course Bethesda had to be Bethesda |
| Nemu 05/22/25 6:29:54 PM #35 | I don't get how you can bungle the infinite potential of space to such an extent that you can't even get people largely interested in filling more of it out. |
| Topic | Duolingo CEO says AI teaches better than humans; school is only daycare |
| Nemu 05/20/25 11:01:30 PM #4 | It's definitely something that could be used to help set up profiles and individual lesson plans best suited to the kid. Teachers absolutely don't have the time to do that in most schools. Anything being peddled at the moment is likely complete bullshit, though. |
| Topic | Should people like James Earl Jones be able to sell their voice perpetually? |
| Nemu 05/20/25 6:52:47 PM #6 | Yeah. As long as it's done with proper consent and not family members forcing some old, declining figure to sell it, who cares? There's a lot of stuff to be iffy about over AI, but anyone mad about the Darth Vader thing on principal is just someone who refuses to realize that this shit isn't going away. |
| Topic | Fandom is raising the Gamefaqs Gold Subscription cost due to tariffs. |
| Nemu 05/20/25 1:02:39 PM #2 | Imagine not buying the Lifetime Platinum Membership. |
| Topic | You win a 10-day trip to India, all expenses paid, do you accept? |
| Nemu 05/20/25 12:52:20 PM #3 | Nah. I'm sure there are some nice places, but I've never seen an appealing looking video experience. |
| Topic | If you name Dagger, Garnet. You're a jerk |
| Nemu 05/19/25 12:55:25 PM #4 | Dagger back to Garnet, Marle back to Nadia, Frog back to |
| Topic | Cop in Australia tazed a 95 year old woman to death |
| Nemu 05/18/25 8:52:09 PM #9 | Guess she had a knife, but you're still talking about someone who'd probably have been subdued by throwing a pillow at her. |
| Topic | how dare a child act like a child |
| Nemu 05/18/25 5:45:44 PM #7 | It's no reason to have unreasonable hatred towards a character, but I'd agree that was horrible writing. |
| Topic | Just realized but if humans colonized another planet and lived there for a long |
| Nemu 05/18/25 1:47:22 PM #5 | If the future humanity cares how they look, gene manipulation would probably be able to counter that. |
| Topic | Admit it, you hate Donkey Kong's new look. |
| Nemu 05/18/25 12:05:37 AM #35 | It's not horrible, but definitely worse. |
| Topic | So what's been happening in One Punch Man? SPOILERS ITT! |
| Nemu 05/17/25 2:26:53 AM #3 | A giant clusterfuck illustrated by a man who no longer has any clue what hes doing. |
| Topic | Grand Theft Auto VI is estimated to have a budget that's over $1 billy |
| Nemu 05/16/25 9:08:27 AM #15 | They'll probably make the majority back from just sales alone, while GTA Online will probably hit at least 2 billion within 6 months if they've mastered the monetization aspect from V. |
| Topic | You can only play one N64 game for the rest of your life |
| Nemu 05/16/25 9:04:25 AM #56 | I'd go with Mischief Makers. I could probably spend a full hour just fucking around in the first level. |
| Topic | Attn manga readers: Mangadex got hit by mega DMCA request (it's the end) |
| Nemu 05/15/25 11:59:27 AM #30 | This stuff is always dumb because it's just going to push scraper sites to be more aggressive in uploading official content, compared to ones like MD that is about as respectful as a site like that can be towards takedown requests and not reuploading official content. |
| Topic | Was 'mansplaining" a stupid term? |
| Nemu 05/14/25 7:13:19 PM #38 | Yeah, it all came from the same place as other pointlessly gendered terms that were mostly just inflammatory insults hidden behind the guise of actual constructive dialogue. |
| Topic | Anakin was buying lunch at Jedi Temple... |
| Nemu 05/14/25 12:42:34 PM #6 | He thought he could try to get the kids 50% off deal, but he had a bit of a misunderstanding. |
| Topic | Do you like this game: Baldur's Gate 3 |
| Nemu 05/11/25 3:03:15 PM #7 | I tried it for a bit, but the gameplay wasn't for me. I was going to see about cheating through it just for the story, but most of the characters seemed insufferably annoying and tropey. |
| Topic | Admit it, you stopped caring about the MCU after Endgame came out |
| Nemu 05/08/25 6:14:31 PM #18 | Yeah, I had seen everything up until then, but couldnt really care to keep invested with all the TV shows, and the lack of a cohesive background narrative. They should have started strong with Kang by having him defeat a major character in their movie completely, and setup a cliffhanger for others. Introducing him in a TV show and then having his first movie appearance have him defeated by a B-tier character makes it hard to hype. Even with the actors controversy, they couldve recast him if his introduction was strong enough. |
| Topic | Thoughts on the Shiloh Hendrix controversy (Karen called a child the N word)? |
| Nemu 05/08/25 12:01:05 PM #4 | Seems to be mostly some kind of weird racist proxy battle against another go fund me for some murder case. Shit is all so dumb. |
| Topic | Are the carpet-cleaning youtube videos fake? |
| Nemu 05/06/25 12:51:30 PM #11 | Even if those weren't made dirty for the video, I don't get how people can like watching those videos. They aren't cathartic because they drag out the cleaning process to extend the video. There is zero reason you'd ever need to go over those that many times with that many different methods even if you saturated it in mud. |
| Topic | AI-powered delusions are ruining lives |
| Nemu 05/04/25 6:23:13 PM #11 | These articles are always annoying because they seem to pretend that the people who get into this arent extremely mentally unwell in the first place and AI chats are just the outlet they choose to go down their self-destructive path. Theres no system out there that has enough ability to keep up a coherent conversation that without constant retooling to keep it on track. |
| Topic | Was Joel right in TLoU? *spoilers* |
| Nemu 05/04/25 2:21:56 PM #13 | Yes, though forcing the player to shoot the doctor with his tiny little scalpel is a bit silly. Could have at least given him a gun to make it real. |
| Topic | Clean or tattoos on someone? |
| Nemu 05/03/25 7:55:20 PM #8 | I'd say tattoos are neutral at best. Even people who have really well done ones look good despite having them, not for having them. |
| Topic | I was someone that disliked Anita Sarkeesian |
| Nemu 05/03/25 12:13:53 PM #78 | She definitely deserved the hate, excluding horribly toxic stuff like death threats. She was just an asshole grifter with no actual dog in the fight, tossing out basic bitch talking points combined with a bit of complete bunk. |
| Topic | 100 men vs 1 gorilla, but the men have no prep time. |
| Nemu 05/02/25 10:26:56 PM #11 | 100 people is just too many from a pure stamina point of view. Even if we're talking about a hypothetical bloodlusted gorilla out to kill and 100 people who have zero will to fight, it's going to tire out pretty quick. |
| Topic | NYPD now writing criminal summonses, not tickets, to bikes running red |
| Nemu 05/02/25 1:29:02 PM #36 | AnsestralRecall posted... The problem is you think public transit needs to exist for the purposes of profit and not for the betterment of the lives of citizenry.If you're putting expensive systems in place that don't get enough usage to justify their cost, then said systems will quickly go away. I'm all for improvement in places where it's needed, but I disagree that there's utility for it everywhere country-wide. |
| Topic | NYPD now writing criminal summonses, not tickets, to bikes running red |
| Nemu 05/02/25 1:21:27 PM #33 | JE19426 posted... You realise that theses two statements contract each other, right? The vast majority of people live in densely populated areas, that's a big part of why they are so densely populated. Furthermore the vast majority of miles traveled, in the US are locally, followed by regionally. If the US had good quality local public transport and shit national public transport, it would still be a giant improvement over what they actually had.Most of that is going to be local to the major cities, which I'd agree certainly can be improved. In places where it can take you 15 minutes just to get from your house to the main road, there's not a ton of incentive to have a particularly robust bus system. In places where towns are 30 minutes apart, there's not going to be much incentive to have robust transportation systems between towns. There's obviously big money interests blocking the development of public transit, but it's also simply not something that's going to be innately desired in large swathes of the country. |
| Topic | NYPD now writing criminal summonses, not tickets, to bikes running red |
| Nemu 05/02/25 11:32:38 AM #17 | AnsestralRecall posted... I live here. There is no excuse for the abysmal state of our public transit.There can definitely be local improvement in densely populated areas, but much of the country is way too sparse for it to be particularly helpful. |
| Topic | Games are not worth $80+tax, like at all. Plus it affects a lot of people |
| Nemu 05/01/25 11:18:47 PM #29 | We're definitely going to trend harder towards games as a service shit and game pass services until something inevitably breaks. With the constant shitshow going on with the buyouts and mass layoffs, they're going to keep chasing the golden goose and something is going to give. |
| Topic | Scientist confirms who would in fight between 100 men vs 1 gorilla |
| Nemu 04/30/25 11:54:07 PM #21 | 100 men vs 1 polar bear would be more of a debate. |
| Topic | 100 unarmed men vs 1 Silverback Gorilla |
| Nemu 04/30/25 6:38:53 PM #54 | One hundred is way too many for pretty much any scenario. Even if you dropped 100 unfit, unready NEETS in front of a bloodlusted gorilla, I doubt it has the energy to kill them all before they can eventually take it out. |
| Topic | A few months ago I got addicted to Clicker Hero.. here is my progress.. |
| Nemu 04/27/25 10:38:59 AM #26 | The biggest problem with those is they always seem to fumble endgame stuff. It stops triggering monkey brain number go up endorphins when you get so high that numbers can't be represented. You have the ones with the reincarnation mechanics, but they generally don't provide anything interesting enough to justify starting over. |
| Topic | SF6 Elena Gameplay Trailer scheduled to premiere at 7 pm EST today. |
| Nemu 04/24/25 7:34:42 PM #12 | I don't understand how a haircut can make her look so horrible. I thought it was the whole character design, but she looks fine with her classic hair. |
| Topic | Why do people care so much about "attractive" designs in video games? |
| Nemu 04/22/25 12:35:45 AM #14 | I feel like trending towards realism and mocap has definitely led to a good deal of uncanny valley models, the overuse of celebrity faces, and definitely some attempt to steer away from the oversexualization of the past, possibly veering towards overcorrection, but definitely not the weird culture war nonsense level of the terminally onlines. Id say the biggest problem is trending away from stylization, which other regions seem to embrace more. |
| Topic | Easily the worst tropes in media (besides time travel BS) |
| Nemu 04/20/25 4:02:55 PM #50 | Reset endings where nobody remembers anything. The worst ending, no different than saying everybody died and here's an unrelated world where nothing bad happened. |
| Topic | Do you think Trump will really declare Martial Law tomorrow |
| Nemu 04/19/25 6:57:33 PM #19 | I'm sure it's in the playbook, but it would be weird to bother without some kind of major event like extensive arrests of opposition, trying to shut down a branch of government, etc. |
| Topic | They made yet another article about the weird Trad breeder couple |
| Nemu 04/18/25 10:35:17 PM #25 | archizzy posted... Ignoring all the weird religious and racist overtones with this kind of stuff I'm just honestly perplexed why people think we are at some dangerous level when I feel we are overpopulated.Replacement rates of local populations due to a lack of incentive/opportunity for younger couples to have kids are the main issue, so it's a country by country issue. The people in the OP are most likely going on about the white replacement nonsense though. |
| Topic | ICE Detains U.S.-Born Citizen Despite Judge Seeing Birth Certificate |
| Nemu 04/17/25 5:32:20 PM #30 | Christ, you know it's inevitable someone is going to be killed through this utter stupidity. |
| Topic | We still haven't come up with a better solution than traffic lights. |
| Nemu 04/16/25 11:07:52 AM #28 | StarFighters76 posted... Yellow flashy are no different than "left turn yield on green" lights. So why need them?Yield on green is for when there are two opposing green lights and one needs to be given right of way. Flashing yellow is for when there's an active flow of traffic, but you can turn left any time that there's a safe opening, same as turning right on red. |
| Topic | We still haven't come up with a better solution than traffic lights. |
| Nemu 04/16/25 10:49:22 AM #25 | I wish more places had flashing yellow lights for left hand turns. There are so many places that'd help the flow of traffic. It's silly to need to wait an entire light cycle on a road where there are forty entrances to businesses where people are free to make left turns without lights or stop signs. |
| Topic | How do you feel when they kill off a popular fighting game character? |
| Nemu 04/16/25 9:45:04 AM #5 | Unless it's an actual expansive plot like Blazblue, most fighting game plots are just set dressing, so trying to dictate a canon ending always seems weird when the status quo is changed up from game to game anyway. If they just want to change up the roster, they can leave the character out without needing a canon reason. |
| Topic | 4chan is kill atm |
| Nemu 04/15/25 1:01:17 PM #238 | Doe posted... How would you even possibly verify that. Come onIf there's an email associated with it, that could verify it, but apparently the "proof" is that the user claimed to own Twitter in one of their unhinged posts. |
| Topic | 4chan is kill atm |
| Nemu 04/15/25 10:38:59 AM #180 | The site would be improved by leaps and bounds if they just banned slurs outside of the toxic boards and actually moderated insane /pol/ nonsense. Sadly, they'd all probably take that as a challenge and wage war. It's such a weird combo of some of the worst people on the internet and some actually very wholesome conversations on extremely niche topics. |
| Topic | TES Oblivion Remastered pics leaked; allegedly launching next week |
| Nemu 04/15/25 9:02:22 AM #23 | Is it going to likely be a complete overhaul that's not compatible with the existing mods? Vanilla will certainly sell enough to justify it, but I can't imagine people flocking over if they'd need to redo all mods from scratch. |
| Topic | It's a miracle that Super Mario RPG remake made the best game ever even better |
| Nemu 04/12/25 10:11:59 PM #12 | I was pretty excited for it, but ended up losing interest after seeing that they made it easier for god knows what reason. I don't mind low stakes games, but they already had something perfectly functional with the original. |
| Topic | The only thing I don't like about games like Hollow Knight |
| Nemu 04/12/25 12:10:39 PM #33 | As long as the game marks it or has a marking system, its fun. If you have to remember each and every little side path on your own to backtrack, thats overly tedious. |
