for some reason I always think the 360 came out much earlier than it really did.

god has it really been two decades?

Gamecube-PS2-Xbox 360 Era. It was a time when game developmental costs had come down a bit, the demand for games was pretty steady, and the market wasn’t oversaturated. It allowed AAA devs to make some big creative swings and return a steady profit.

There’s a lot of different genres that are popular today where you can point to a game from that era as the progenitor. Stuff like Resident Evil 4 for the third person action shooter, Devil May Cry for spectacle RPGs, Katamari Damacy and Pikmin for uh…whatever the hell they are.

I don’t think AAA has ever been as creative as they were during that period. For over a decade now, pretty much all creativity in games has come from indies, with AAA being comprised of copycats.

Been pretty good. swapped over to Bazzite, which does just about everything I need for a daily driver. Only real annoyance is my VPN. I haven’t been able to successfully connect through the openvpn configs that PIA provides, so I’ve been setting it up through terminal every time I log in. I think if I really sat down I could set it up to autologin, but it only “costs” me like 30 seconds and sometimes I like to connect to a server that allows port forwarding instead of a non-PF closer server. I also like getting to make the choice of which server I connect to vs autologging in to the lowest latency server.

I still have to use Windows 11 for work though, and holy shit do I prefer running two commands in terminal when I login to dealing with all the dumb fuckin bloat that OS has when I go home.

there is no second season of Psycho-Pass :)

There’s definitely a contingent of Oda’s angels, and their proselytizing has been growing louder and louder. I think part of it has to do with the Live-Action making the series more popular in the West.

That being said, I heavily agree with your take. It’s the kinda thing that’s pretty easy to get sucked into watching, and then you’re cursed into watching more than a thousand episodes.

how many bottoms have to participate to ensure enough non-top participation?

It’s honestly fucking insane that we’re still letting Victorian men dictate what we can wear. The only real pushback has been from femboys in the last like decade, and we’re still a minority.

god I wish.

only place I can find anything fem that fits a male frame is my local queer thrift store. I’d kill for like a femboy clothing chain

I dunno if glee is the right emotion. America is going to lash out hard in it’s death throes and cause a lot more pain and destruction. There’s also no guarantee that what comes next will be any better; if anything, I’m expecting powerful corporations to carve up her corpse.

The rest of the world can breathe a sigh of relief when it’s done, but an animal becomes most dangerous when it’s backed into a corner.

The trick is to not use the whole spice packet. I typically only put half into my noodles.

There’s a reason why the U.S. has so many international students

uh…this isn’t exactly accurate anymore lol. International enrollment has fallen off a cliff. I dunno if numbers have been officially released yet, but chatting with my friends in admissions offices for some pretty big universities, they’re seeing reductions of 70-80%

American football

obviously soccer is for metrosexual eurocucks /s

The only difference is that the US was way more successful. It’s literally identical to what Putin tried with Zelenskyy in the opening days of the Russo-Ukraine war.

Unfortunately, I think most Americans would lose a memory contest against a goldfish, so they can’t recognize the parallels.

Thing is, as the Western empire collapses, I think more and more people will start to move towards China just for the sake of stability and a basic standard of living. It’s already something I’ve been thinking about, and things are only going to get worse.

All that to say, I wouldn’t write off the idea of them attracting people. Immigration is a possible solution, it kinda depends on if the PRC wants it to be their solution.

why? they won’t do anything, which is the reason why a majority of women don’t.

The police won’t stop you now.

The actual thing that’s preventing you is your fear of violent consequences, and I can assure you that those consequences will still exist without police intervention.

Yeah, getting PIA running without the native client has been a bit rough. These days I’ve just gotten use to starting a terminal as soon as I log-in, but I probably need a more permanent solution. maybe it’ll be switching to cachy as well.

People will post this as if tribal conflicts over land and resources just didn’t exist during that time period.

The truth is that people have always been shitty.

Yup, and every time I have to deal with Windows bullshit at work, I get a little bit happier that I don’t have to deal with it when I go home.

My cats looove hitting my power button. It got so bad that I started setting a box on top of my computer just to block the power button, but they frequently still try to push the box away so they can turn off the computer.
