Right. That's what I thought. Not sure what GP is talking about, then.

I'd hope not. MAPPA is uniquely bad in that they have no production lines and staff jist scrambles around between projects. If they can emulate Madhouse or Bones' setup, that'd be more sustainable

He also has no stake in the company. I'd hardly call that "behind" it.

I'm pretty sure he's losing money on a lot of his videos.

"Gatekeeping"??? The man is dead. That's not gatekeeping. People don't need more "content", and certainly aren't entitled to it over his family's wishes. There's gotta be a moral floor somewhere.

I disagree as well. I think it'd be pretty obvious to anyone who's sat in each the difference in comfort, ride quality, material choice, technology, and drivetrain refinement between a Corolla and an AMG.

I would still buy the Corolla though for the reliability - or better yet, a Lexus which kind of has both.

It's time to admit Lemmy has won the "the biggest reddit alternative" award, why it's time for all of us to consider supporting it (here's why) + reopening r/LemmyMigration in c/reddit

I don't need to be "spoonfed" anything, and it's a little weird for you to assume so. I interact with all of that media, watch film & anime, read books, watch documentaries, etc. on other platforms. I share my music and artwork, I write video games as well. This isn't about what I am up to.

Lemmy is a discussion site. I just think it'd be cool if we discussed more than what we currently discuss here. I think other prospective users might want to discuss other things than the current fare, and yeah - when it's not here, when wanting to discuss it is dismissed essentially as entitlement & wanting to be "spoonfed", they'll do it elsewhere: reddit.
