Stovetop,

Fuck everyone in Japan that defends the war atrocities the government committed. If this seems like a harsh take, it is only proportional to how abhorrent those atrocities were.

That shrine should be burned.

Google's "Manifest V2" Chrome extension phaseout next month is expected to impact the original uBlock Origin extension, which still uses the V2 framework and has 37 million users (www.theregister.com)

The new MV3 architecture reflects Google’s avowed desire to make browser extensions more performant, private, and secure. But the internet giant’s attempt to do so has been bitterly contested by makers of privacy-protecting and content-blocking extensions, who have argued that the Chocolate Factory’s new software...

Stovetop,

It’s a sad state of affairs modern schools have when an instructor tries to pull up a video on YouTube or other sites to use in class, and an entire classroom of children have to sit through the unskippable ads.

I guess I’ll take that over the TV documentaries my teachers used to record on VHS that had commercials to fast forward through, but the modern internet truly sucks.

Stovetop,

I think this article is the answer. Elon offers a platform, Trump exempts Tesla from whatever anti-EV regulations he wants to push. Quid pro quo.

Stovetop,

Astro Bot looks like a lot of fun. I am glad that they have allowed it to graduate from tech demo to a full game.

Stovetop,

Maybe his core supporters, but past elections have shown that he can’t win the popular vote. He is dependent on swing states where there are more people on the fence, and this might be enough.

Stovetop,

In this case it seems easy to be against it because a widely unpopular candidate is the one being prosecuted.

However, allowing felons to run for office precludes the ability for the government to silence political dissidents by making up laws/falsifying evidence that they can be imprisoned for.

The risk of a Trump presidency is still on the table, but the US can avoid situations like what happened to Navalny in Russia as well.

In the 1920 election, Eugene Debs campaigned as the socialist nominee for president from prison, having been imprisoned for advocating draft dodging. That is the sort of candidate I would still support, even from behind bars.

Stovetop,

Hello, I was one of those.

A lifetime of disappointment has taught me to keep low expectations. But when things do actually turn out well, it can be a happy surprise.

Hope for the best and expect the worst and all.

Stovetop, (edited )

It’s definitely easier to have that degree of support when you’ve got a common architecture now. There has never been a console generation before this where you had literal years of overlap with games releasing on previous and current gen, because it didn’t require much extra work to maintain additional versions. They were already doing that with the “Pro” consoles before anyways.

Hell, PS4 players are even still going to get the highly anticipated Shadow of the Erdtree DLC for Elden Ring in a few weeks.

Stovetop,

It’s the video game equivalent of Legos. I think it has staying power in a way few other games have, precisely in the same way that Legos have remained popular toys for generations.

Stovetop,

However, if you look at the US public transportation system until the mid 1960’s, it was there.

On that note, it’s worth bringing up that Los Angeles, a city known for its horrible traffic conditions, once had the largest electric rail system in the world before it was completely eliminated in favor of the gridlocked highways it has now.

Stovetop,

That’s optimistic.

I am expecting at least 1 Trump loyalist in the jury who will refuse to agree to any guilty verdict, resulting in a hung jury and a mistrial.

Stovetop,

And remember that she is painted as the more reasonable choice among Republicans.

Stovetop,

According to Wikipedia, AKQA is a design and innovation agency that helps corporations improve their branding and experiences.

According to Google, AKQA is an abbreviation that means Always Keep Quinoa Accessible?

Stovetop,

According to the article at least, that is essentially what they did. But their model was based on earlier years when there was higher projected growth, so the budgets were set too high as a result.

Personally, as long as the final installment in the FF7 Remake trilogy is made with the same budget as the first two and ends on a satisfying note, I’ll be happy. A good ending gives the trilogy as a whole have more lifetime sales than it would if part 3 makes the first two less good in retrospect, i.e. the Mass Effect 3 effect.

Stovetop,

I will just agree to disagree on that front. Playing casually, I clocked over 100 hours on the 2nd game, which is more time than it took me to complete the original full game on PS1. I enjoyed basically every minute of time played (save for one particular mini-game that I didn’t care for), so I’d say I got a good value out of it for the cost. It is also hard to say that it is a cash grab when it provides a much fuller experience than most AAA games these days seem to have.

Basically, I don’t hate it any more than I hate the fact that The Lord of the Rings is three separate movies; it’s not like The Hobbit.

Stovetop,

I would say in one sense yes, because typically property being bequeathed follows different customs than property being sold for profit.

But the point in this case is that your Steam library is not even “property” to begin with, it is a contract that becomes invalid when one of the parties (the customer) dies.

Stovetop,

I am assuming “automated” crafting is crafting without input from the player. I think macro crafting, where you still manually press the macros for each craft, is different.

Stovetop,

Jet fuel can’t melt steel beams, it was a controlled demolition, yadda yadda.

Stovetop,

Science Saru’s previous works include Devilman Crybaby, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, and an episode of Adventure Time apparently?

They make very visually unique works, so I am interested to see where they go with this.

Stovetop,

I started watching The Heike Story at your recommendation and I am really digging it. Love the way they depict the real-world history.
