Comment on Thermae Romae Mangaka “Got $10,000 of $62,000,000″ by senorkami:

“She explains that her publisher “suddenly asked for permission to use the work in exchange for 1,000,000 yen,” a sum arrived at “arbitrarily” and which she went along with as she was busy with her work.”

She willingly chose to do this and deserves no more than what she agreed to. She just signed off on the contract without having any clue as to what it was for because she was “too busy.” She made her bed, now she has to lay in it. Maybe next time she’ll be bothered to read contracts or pay for a few hours with a lawyer before blindly signing anything.

Never understood the hate people have for old games coming out on systems people actually own.

  What is it with asians and protests via suicide. This kid was 11 so I don’t want to talk too bad about him, but a protest where you kill yourself just makes it seem to me like you were a loon who was clearly off in the head and probably shouldn’t be listened to.

  Had to do a double take to make sure this wasn’t about some otaku that loved billionaires and corporate fat cats.

  I literally “pfffft” when I saw Scryed at #1. List is a joke not matter what follows that.

  Some of those pics are pretty disturbing. I hope it doesn’t get banned though. If they said it was for adults only I could get behind that.
