I like them too but it's just not worth it. In Western animation it takes forever for a show to air, there is very few to choose from and they are subject to corporate crap every step of the way. And most Japanese animation I've seen is cheap and / or tropey junk.

Making a book is cheap enough that the author has way more free rein to do what they want, even if they are dealing with a commerical genre. And there are so many books to choose from and more of them keep coming out so you'll never run out of material, the worst that could happen is you get into an ongoing series and it doesn't finish. To me that means the tradeoffs border on irrelevant.

Oh I watched the first three seasons of Infinity Train already, the whole shitshow that followed made me give up on animation entirely. And seeing the state of animation these days confirms that I've made the right call in my opinion.

Just read (comic)books people, books are just better.

No, he is fine as far as I'm aware. But he didn't get to create anything after Gravity Falls, he was working on something with Netflix but nothing came of it. I'm not aware of anyone besides Dana Terrace who made a successful cartoon in recent memory and managed to move on to a new project. Western animation is cooked.

Lol, didn't even notice that.

On a side note, imagine making Gravity Falls and never getting to work on another show again. We don't push pro-comicbook propaganda to animation workers hard enough.

I get what you are saying, but you are critiqueing dogmatism. That is a seperate problem. Dogmatism is being closed minded towards newer theory / tactics and strategic retreats. Revisionism is the abandonment of class struggle and integrating into bourgeois politics.

Literal people's warriors are revisionist?

It's worth remembering that a significant amount of accusations of revisionism towards China come from Maoist insurgents and other anti-revisionist parties. I'm not saying they are right (I didn't read enough to confidently say they are or aren't), but we should acknowledge that it's not just Western ultras.

You don't enjoy the

fight? You should really just play something else.

Gaining levels doesn't help. Level refers to Level of Violence (LOVE) in Undertale, you'll just encounter harder battles if you gain too many levels.

Great article comrade, thank you for sharing it.

Also something to add, a lot of AI investment in USA is also sketchy circular investment. So it's actually way worse than the graph comparing AI investment volume of different countries implies.

I absolutely loved Project Hail Mary, way better than the movie adaptation in my opinion. Descender / Ascender is a good scifi and fantasy comic series.

That is something I need to look into, I don't know how Chinese use it but I did see them protect workers from layoffs which was great news.

It probably doesn't matter too much.
