Just saw One Battle After Another, whoever it was a couple weeks ago saying that it trivializes white supremacy was off their rocker. Like, setting aside that the True Believers absolutely do that kind of goofy shit, the entire rest of the military and police shit is ALSO white supremacy

Look Kiryu has barely any idea what a phone is, let alone AI. Even he knows this shit sucks from one use

Kusano, nothing in this world is absolute, and technology can't solve all your problems. You should take care not to treat this so lightly.

No I'm telling you that genuine communication is better than imperfect communication. If you've got something important to say, don't go searching for the cleanest, best-edited versions

Yeah I think this is just a mixing up of a few true facts (They didn't have names in the Japanese version of 3, and the translators gave them their names) to make an untrue one.

Don't mean to call out Quest 64 or any other person in particular, but literally hundreds or thousands of these games exist on itch.io. Why don't I ever see any of y'all talking about them if this is what you want so bad

Yeah that’ll do it

A new meanwell power supply. There’s about a centimeter gap between the upper “grate” and the top of the capacitors.

The old, busted power supply I just took out of a game. The caps have swollen to the point that they brush up against the upper “grate”

It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"

when i was a kid i didn't understand how this worked and i thought every CD that was manufactured had to have a monster put onto it. like they'd go up to ringo starr or whatever and ask him what monster he wants and he'd say "ouhh this DEfinitely has a "Battle Rocks" quality to it! peace and love.!"
