Nice job Amazon, now I have to go through the hassle of sending it back and I imagine any replacement will likely arrive in similar condition anyway. So very done with Bezos' sweatshop, it's not even cheap for books any more. When a Waterstones card works out at 10% off over time, I'd rather...

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, Season 1 I have been ill to the point of not even being able to play games effectively, so I have done the unthinkable and actually watched some anime I haven't seen before. I enjoyed it well enough. At its heart this is as much about loner Kobayashi learning to...

What absolute b*llocks are these generals talking about the need for conscription in a hypothetical war with Russia? It’s slightly concerning that people of high rank within the military seem to be completely overlooking the fact that in any hypothetical war with Russia, the UK gets wiped out by...

That is actually incredibly useful, since I've noticed Amazon seem to have completely removed the option to filter by both genre and format at the same time. Want to browse anime? Here's all the anime DVDs and BDs. Want to browse BDs? Here's all of them of every genre. Want to browse anime BDs...

Yeah, a 6 hour transatlantic flight is a lot more manageable than a bus ride to the outskirts of town. I’ll hop on over and check it out when I have a spare couple of grand. Unintentionally hilarious spam is my favourite spam.

I wholeheartedly agree with you @Vashdaman with one exception: I can believe it. If I had a shred of faith left in “democracy” beforehand this would have killed it but, well.

Ultimately, I think the fact is that Pandora’s Box has been opened with regards to AI now and there’s no shutting it back inside without an eventual Terminator/Matrix/Battlestar Galactica style war against the machines which I’m confident humanity would lose anyway. If people have an easier...

Do we have a thread either somewhere in off-topic or media discussion to talk about (non-manga or LN) books or did I totally imagine that, or was it possibly one of the things lost long ago to a technical issue?

Well this is kind of fun. Baldur's Gate III is self-explanatory, it's the best CRPG and probably just hands down the best game I've played since Baldur's Gate II. It's telling I think that 3/5 of my most played games are Bethesda RPGs, yet Starfield does not appear at all (and I even think...

When I read this headline I thought this sounded like some new and hilarious scandal worthy of one of our more insane monarchs; there was concern in the royal family that Harry’s Nazi costume was talking to him with Kate Middleton’s voice? No, Telegraph. What The Crown is depicting is Kate...

I hadn’t bought a new paperback book for quite some time, but recently I’ve been on a bit of a reading kick so I went for a good browse in some bookshops today. What the hell has happened to the print quality of new paperbacks? Half of them look like they’ve been shat out of a cheap 1980s laser...

Wasn't that part of the world a whole lot more peaceful and stable when it was Mandatory Palestine, anyone miss us yet? I think that's what this conflict is missing honestly, a bigger bastard to threaten both sides. We were pretty good at that, maybe it's high time we did it again. Perhaps...

After today, I would strongly encourage every single person in the country to quit their jobs and put in a benefit claim, the sooner this whole rotten system collapses, the better. It's not even fraudulent (certainly no more fraudulent than all the covid contracts), I think it's fair to say...

I have gradually and unfortunately come to the conclusion that the answer is nothing. The strong do what they can, the weak suffer what they must. No amount of protests, petitions or voting can change the entrenched system because that’s the way it is set up, and it is functioning as intended to...

You haven’t lived in modern day Britain until you’ve had an elderly tramp virtually in tears tell you to the soundtrack of “Driving Home for Christmas” how he’s scared the police will take his tent away and I quote: “They can send me down south, I’ll live on that barge, it’d be better than what...

I have my disagreements with the man (mainly that I would in fact like AI to be given ultimate power and for humanity to die out) but Musk buying the platform formerly known as Twitter has been worth it if only for the number of people outed as hypocrites by their previous smug parroting of...

Does the US even have any retail stores any more? The number of urbex videos of empty malls I've seen suggests not. RIP Borders.

Aren’t they called Anime Limited because they’re a limited company?

It both is and it isn't, I feel like something this noticeable should really have been picked up in early access, unless those cutscenes simply weren't present until release, I don't know. At any rate, it seems I'm definitely not the only one with this kind of bug, or alone in thinking some camp...
