Forum sections, especially multiple ones like some are proposing, tend to get made when they are obvious or when demand happens.

I am not seeing the case for either -- there is no continuous glut of posts and it is not like anime is a new concept. If you reckon an anime sticky in books, tv and movies would help then that might happen but new section(s) is a bit strong.

I guess something there would be more appropriate As long as you don't mean like it's in those. Like instead its

Books
T.V
Movies

(Then the new add-on)
Anime

:D

I did mean as part of books... rather than new forums. GBAtemp is not a forum that makes new forum sections lightly, and indeed existing ones are mostly kept for legacy purposes and often folded into bigger sections as time goes on if they can no longer justify their existence.

We are not drowning in anime threads -- we get the occasional big anime discussion if one is happening (or whatever anime is the current one that is going to save anime), a throwback post (remember violence jack? what a good show that was...), maybe someone remembers to post up the "this season's animes" poster when they come around (and I come along and say set in a school so I am out, set in a school, not set in a school but featuring schoolchildren, set in a magic school, that might be interesting, looks like titillation and not much else, could be good, set in a school, set in a future school...) and then the odd "I don't know how to suggest anime to a person that things they are all either Japanese animated porn or for kids, please help" thread.
Equally it is not like there is nowhere to go as it is not like anime is some magical special medium that is set apart from books, TV, movies and such like.

Because I feel like I said above. There is just too much to talk about in Anime for it to have one sub forum
Anime is literally just Japanese cartoons. At that rate, American cartoons should get a separate subsection. And literally everything else.

If you wanna talk about anime, go to an anime forum.

I think a subsection insider of the movies TVs and books section could be nice, but it isn't really necessary

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
