Ehhh, while it’s true that some vids nowadays have captions, this isn’t always the case. Plus, consider that a lot of content on the internet isn’t necessarily in the language Kids think in (when they don’t come from anglo-speaking countries). And, once again anecdotal experience but I have to factor that in, “digital natives” don’t seem to communicate in written form as much as we do. Blame voice messages, I guess.

Of course I don’t think manga is bad, literature Is literature after all. As I said, it’s just that the interest in the material Is filtered through an appreciation of formerly consumed visual media, and even then It remains “an interest”, rather than something they actively look for. Monetary factors have also to be looked in: not every country can afford to print out Shonen Jump.

As a teacher in lower secondary school, kids don’t do any of that. They read physical media sporadically, and the main kind of digital media they consume is through IG and TikTok, furtherly filtered by the algorithm to appeal to their interest. The only kind of excitement I see in their eyes when talking reading is when talking manga, but even then it’s mostly because they got there through anime (dubbed, so not even with subs) first. Kids don’t read half as often as we did twenty years ago, and teachers get the blame for trying to push some sense in them through lecture.

Please do yourself a favor and read the original graphic novel this slop Is based upon. McGuire’s Here is stunning, innovative, incredible and imaginative. Which makes me even mas when thinking it’s being turned into a movie.

Luigi / Duck Hunt. What the hell does that mean?

I believe it’s either The Blues Brothers or 2001.

Durov has been blacklisted in Russia because he refused to cooperate with Putin’s government on several occasions.

I don’t think Grohl has played for QotSA in well over a decade now. Their current drummer is Jon Theodore of Mars Volta fame, iirc.

why are cucumbers wrapped in plastic? WHY ARE THEY WRAPPED IN PLASTIC?

iirc it’s a “fault” of the PS3 architecture which makes it practically impossible to emulate. We’ll have to see if the second part of the remastered MSG collection will eventually port it.

challenge level: impossible

While Spider-Verse Is GREAT, I cannot help but feel the Awards season Is going to do Miyazaki’s movies dirty once again. The Boy and the Heron Is spellbinding, powerful and artistic as It can get, and fearing that It might be snubbed because of those exact reasons Is soulcrushing.

Bob Dylan’s 151st Dream and its false start will never not make me laugh.

I remember this image so well, it used to be my desktop wallpaper for years. So peaceful

But you’d miss on Season 3 that way, and that’s the best one out of all of them!

it seems to be discontinued…

Didn’t New Horizon have a DLC AND a microtransactions-riddled mobile game?

My money’s on an Animal Crossing, possibly not immediately on release but close to it nonetheless. New Horizons had just too much success for the company not trying to ride the wave, and they have so much room to improve on the mechanics and the variety of the setting.

I did download the native Linux versions.

I’m referring to the Enhanced versions, yes. I tried the Linux installer as well, and after correctly installing the game it just doesn’t start. I don’t know why it’s that.
