Pick up a notebook, write a single page of notes and a character sheet, then run a world of darkness campaign about it

Overcoming adversity, or maybe they just want to be the guy

You know, i think reddit would be more your style holy shit.

I’d prefer a short, agonizing one for them, personally. Ever heard of the snuff film movie hostel?

I thought about going to the gas station to get pizza for games night (don’t judge, we have no other decent pizza place) in girl clothes once. I didn’t even get out of my driveway before realizing how insanely awful that idea was without a gun in a quick draw holster.

Evil people. Assuming you mean, like, politically or morally or something.

May Christian cults go so far as to believe that your after life is set in stone before you are even born, yet that being happy is evil and you shouldn’t do it even if you are not gonna go to heaven for it.

The game awards are unimaginably bad, but that doesn’t mean palworld had a chance

Absolutely, but Japan doesn’t exactly have a good view of business and it’s place in society.

I mean, a spiritual successor is absolutely on the horizon. It’s a genuine masterpiece, artists will be emulating it in some way for decades at least.

I don’t think people quite grasp how big and terrible this news is. Kadokawa is the entertainment company. You have a favorite anime? It’s probably kadokawa’s or at least related to them some how. You like Japanese jank games? Chunsoft belongs to kadokawa. RPG Maker classics? RPG Maker belongs to kadokawa. Novels? They are a big publisher in addition to owning bookwalker. Not to mention the random shit they have like niconico. Did i mention tourism? Because they have a lot of that too.

This could genuinely be catastrophic for Japanese culture (and that means otaku culture too, weebs)

Man, i hope bioware paid good money for this article

Please don’t.

That looks so weird

This could unironically be a dark age for Japanese culture, if our experience with sony in Western circles is indicative of anything

More than just that, they are big novel publishers, they own spike chunsoft, hell they even have their hands in tourism and some science labs! Idk the broader culture of Sony, but experience with their gaming branch says this will be the disaster of our times for otaku.

That’s not just what’s at stake. Kadokawa is a massive company and this will hurt industries from books to anime to game development outside of fromsoft. On the publishing and consumer facing sides, btw. Apparently they even own a few scientific and tourism endeavors!

This is the end of an era the way the dark ages were, not the way the end of CGDCT in favor of isekai was

Not just a few games, this is gonna hurt anime too.

Pokemon is never gonna get better, is it

If this deal doesn’t fall through a fairly large swath of culture is just going to suffer, not just fromsoft.
