It comes from the publishers in the 90s. They needed an easy way to tell stores/distributors how popular they thought each of their games would be, to help them decide how many of a certain title the distributor should order. The games expected to be GotY contenders would be marked AAA, AA for otherwise decent games, A for more niche games and B for "this is a starshot, we're hoping it will sell enough to justify production costs". That then lead to more and more games being marked as AAA due to budgets getting increased, and the whole system became a bit redundant.

A Razer product that doesn't work as advertised? Consider me shocked.

Looks like Palia with hobbits. Personally I'm not too impressed, but maybe it'll find its niche.

Nah, the site you're referring to still works from the UK.

As someone who's played a lot of GW2 over the past couple of years, I can confirm that it's still fantastic. It doesn't get anywhere near the amount of content that WoW gets, but it's on a good cadance these days and outside of buying expansions, is absolutely playable without spending a penny.

I thought this was some humanoid donkey before I read the prose. After reading, I guess I was still right in a way.

I felt a little let down when I saw Angel Beats, to be honest. I really enjoyed the ending, and a few plot points here and there, but it felt like they had too much content for a 1-cour show and not enough for a 2-cour, so it ended up feeling a bit rushed, jerking between comedy and tragedy.

Though I think my issue was expecting it to live up to the heights set by Clannad, the eternal final boss of cry-porn. Clannad drained me in a way I didn't think was possible, and rewatches of key scenes STILL destroy me years later. I can't go near wheat fields anymore. 11/10, would have multiple breakdowns while contemplating the value of family, again.

The 4-panel comic features Nano Shinonome, a robot girl from the anime Nichijou, leaving a positive message on 4-chan about Hakase (professor), an 8-year-old genius who invented and built her. Being a robot, she feels she can't morally click the captcha to show she's not a robot, and is therefore unable to post the message, despite that she wouldn't be considered a robot in this context.

How the fuck does a chat program justify a workforce of one thousand employees in the first place?! How do they expect to ever get in the green when they're spending that much money on staff?

Is their entire business model to just endlessly pull in V.C. money and "grow" until they can't get investors on board anymore? Actually, don't answer that one, I assume that's how almost every tech company works these days, and at some point it's all going to crash.
