They do not ensure in any way, shape or form that they are actually followed.

There is no mechanism in all of human nature that automatically and definitively binds us to our word. Whether we’re writing code, or laws, or wedding vows, it is a choice at all times to adhere to them - and they are prone to error.

All Ars can do is write the rules and choose to enforce them. Whether they choose to or not is a trust exercise, which it’s only built on a long history of consistent good choices.

“Hot singles in your area!”

I’ve done some searches for plot synopses of a manga recently and somehow landed on one of these kinds of blogs, at least I think it is judging by machine translation.

What struck me about the blog I read was how little of the author’s own voice is in it. It wasn’t a review or critique of the manga, it was just a page-for-page transcription. The author had no editorial opinion at all, didn’t even so much as say “good story” or “bad story.” If there was any kind of analysis of the work at all, no matter how shallow, I would be more inclined to defend it.

“Spoiler article” is an interesting moniker, but I wonder how the conversation would go if they were re-framed as “wiki articles.” Even mid-tier Wikia/Fandom wikis have about as much detail on character/plot pages as a “spoiler article” but they go one step further by having Analysis sections, Personality sections, lists of character relationships, etc. These sections rely on an author analyzing the work and writing something transformative or original about it. Can’t say it necessarily would have saved them in court, but who knows.

I wish charts like these could “adjust for inflation.” Not the inflation of money I mean, but the inflation of the industry. The number of video game players globally has increased dramatically since the heyday of Super Mario Brothers. It was a much “smaller world” back then, so the success of SMB is likely more impressive than the success of e.g. Skyrim, and the success of Tetris would look just absolutely ludicrous lmao.

I think the article is too short to answer this question: the buyer claims to be sharing the data with Have I Been Pwnd, does that not indicate they are not a threat actor? Or at least a grey hat of some kind?

Actually, the article says that Raccoon is the threat actor, but the linked tweet says they are the buyer? Or does the tweet refer to itself in the third person, by claiming to be the buyer, which makes Raccoon the seller?

What’s going on with this article??

I appreciate the nicely formatted table. :)

Weird how they changed to a new genre every release.

I’m just pulling the leg of the guy above me. Granted, at their expense, but we’re both “on the retirement home patio” so to speak.

Sorry to get all “ok grandpa time for your meds” on you, but 2017 was 9 years ago. A whole decade has passed in the industry and the art form. XD

The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity

Wonderful show. It’s a little saccharine, a little contrived, and narrowly specific to Japanese respect culture. But it does a wonderful job showcasing how to deal with issues of self-worth, communicating with intent and kindness, and how to constructively handle one’s emotions. It’s crazy that Cloverworks was making this, and My Dress Up Darling, and Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus, all in the same season, and yet the animation quality is still high quality.

Koe no Katachi

It’s heavily edited down from the source material - whole parts of the plot are cut to make the story fit into a single movie. But it’s a powerful and impactful story about the value of communication and redemption. There’s a lot of overlap with Fragrant Flower, but it touches on darker and heavier themes. The manga is worth picking up if you’re interested in more. Also, it’s made by Kyoto Animation, and it’s one of their best.

Komi Can’t Communicate

This is more a personal choice, but I started reading Komi-san when it was around Chapter 100. There are 500 chapters in total. It’s… far far too much for a story about a girl, guess what, learning to communicate. But the best thing about the anime by a substantial margin is the first episode. This one episode alone is one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen, and it’s accompanied by a heart-tugging OST. Watch just the first episode, even if you don’t watch anything else.
