This might be a decent stream game. A post-war game where you prosecute nazis who failed to uphold nazi law.

Detroit become human might be a bit to subtle for Josh

He won't be able to tell that it is all a subtle and intelligent civil rights allegory

The cross on that Fr. Tiso coin isn't "orthodox", it's a patriarchal cross. It was featured in the coat of arms of the First Slovak Republic (also used since 1992). Orthodox crosses also have a slanted bar on the bottom. For comparsion:

Benjamin Netanyahu went on a diatribe about how the "woke right" is making thing worse for the public opinion on Israel in the United States. He also announced plans to further support (((their))) influencers, especially on TikTok and X. The real question is: Can Likud provide more money for MATI than the Rumble whales superchatters?

Netanyahu is a Prime Minister, and in most countries PMs don't have a term limit. However, you're correct that democracy is a farce and often times only a select few have actual power
 
FUCK I forgot to ask my anime question

okay that comic book Red Hood is like 10 pages long and the rest of it is just fucking ads (spoiler for my review)

is this normal for anime books? are anime books also all ads for yuri lesbian slop?

Most manga are first published chapter by chapter in magazines (like Shonen Jump) alongside other serial manga and ads. Then they get packaged into volumes and reprinted as books without ads. This book format is the way most people outside of Japan experience manga.

Online, yes. I wouldn't be a bit surprise that many of them have gooner slop ads. Don't know much about the magazines though.

this is genuinely informative and i think this system is probably better than the way that it works in the US. DC would probably make more money if they sold monthly catalogs with different episodes instead of what I got in the mail.

i like my cheese subscription a lot and towards the end of the month I get excited for my new cheese. Every month would get the nerds excited for new capeshit.

The caveat to the manga system is that the authors generally have to consistently produce new chapters every 1-2 weeks. Giving retarded capeshit authors/artists hard deadlines to meet would probably be met with serious soy rage that they actually have to produce a product on someone else’s schedule… just look at pedo Vito and EVS as good examples of that :story:

There used to be weekly comic Anthologies like 2000 A.D. and Heavy Metal in Europe that had the same philosophy only book releases (albums in french) were way more spaced out sometimes taking years to get another collected volume of a given series (in Japan its usually every three months) but this practice gradually phased out throughout the years due to declining sales and the weekly publication became semi-annual ones with books almost never coming out as a result.

The funny thing is that DC has done this method of serialization twice and it was a huge success its just that their editorial management is so incompetent that they scrapped it entirely and went back to pushing more Batwank because that's the only title that sells.

Not like it's going to matter anyways, they're already experimenting with replacing the art with AI

The only thing keeping these big publishing companies alive is brand recognition.

In western markets, the equivalent is the trade paperback (TPB). What you got is a monthly "floppy", single issue of a single story, and traditionally treated as disposable until collectors got rabid about saving them. A TPB will contain a half dozen or so floppies' stories without ads, usually covering a specific arc, just like a volume of a single manga.

What you're suggesting is kind of like anthology issues or quarterly special issues, a bunch of different characters' stories in a single larger format. They aren't done regularly by DC/Marvel, but they are out there. The American market traditionally preferred the single-story issues to the larger anthologies, but once TPB/visual novels got more common, those dominated the market for "larger" books of comic stories.

(There's also omnibus books, which are usually massive retrospectives collecting every story a writer for one book did on his run. I don't know if manga has an equivalent, because their books tend to have single writers for its entire lifespan.)
