Gaming history artifact was needlessly and heartlessly desecrated.

Hi Ani.Socialites

I was curious if there's a matrix chat room for ani.social for meta discussion and for interacting with the broader community? Even if the scope of this room was reduced, it would in theory be nice to have a place to have some meta discussions and support chat.

I'm trying to reduce my discord usage so having an anime community would be a great help.

Lemmy.zip (my instance of choice atm) has this on their end, for example.

Thanks!

You'll never look at mountains the same way again.

I’ve enjoyed sandy pyramids, fluffy clouds, and grassy islands. Survived devastated cityscapes, starry skies, and screen-sized biomechanical horrors. GG Aleste II packs a lot of variety into …

Not all paths lead to Popeye, despite what you may be thinking.

I went to see Lupin the IIIrd Immortal Bloodlines in theaters today, which is currently having a limited screening in the US before having a digital release sometime later this month IIRC. I believe this film has already been seen in theaters around Italy and Japan, but this is otherwise the first day for the film in France / US and Canada from what I can tell.

Spoilers ahead. If you don't want to see them, back out.

I've been seeing people on other communities talking about how this all leads up to the 1975 film Secrets of Mamo, but I still can't shake the feeling that there are major leaps of faith the movie takes with the plot that are simply hard to follow and not just part of some larger idea.

Want to keep this thread up for discussion about the film, if anyone else on the fediverse wants to talk about it or has seen the film previously in Japan and want to share their thoughts.

With this game, Power Dolls finally left the PC-98 behind and fully embraced a Windows-based future. There’s a fancy CG intro filled with explosions and mechs in cool poses. For the first tim…

This was initially demoed at FediCon 2025, but CrowdBucks is an open source, self-hostable fundraising system that allows people to financially support one another. You use your existing Fediverse account to hold a fundraiser, and can also donate to other people's fundraisers as well. The form factor is kind of similar to Kickstarter or Patreon.
