Will the next question be about where the ears go?

How else am I going to unlock my inner potential?

It is becoming a bit easier to express individuality in Japan, but that definitely does not apply to most people working a corporate job. Any given picture of a crowded Japanese street that indicates rush hour will have a bunch of people in suits/etc with standard hair. Off hours or in the bigger cities there might be a more interesting sample.

Found a game I own has text and audio in my target language, so it’s been a bit more fun this week. The vocab might not be so useful, but I’m getting use out of the words and their pronunciation being together.

I remembered liking the Pierce Brosnan one when I watched it a long time ago and recently rewatched it. It’s a story about a rich guy who drags a bunch of people into investigations from police and insurance by pretending to steal art because he’s bored. I can’t imagine that landing well currently, but I’m not a movie producer so who knows.

The head lady and the wheelers turning into sand were especially creepy.

Eight times worse for me is waiting for others to take their turn at a board game. Recently played Wyrmspan (Wingspan but with dragons). Nobody was even thinking about what they were doing next until their turn and somebody’s spouse wanted to leave and kept asking if we were almost done. We only got to play 3 out of the 4 rounds.

$ while true; do echo "$(date '+%D %T' | toilet -f term -F border --gay)"; sleep 1; done

Ok, that got a chuckle out of me.

Chicken jockey.

Oh no, the cargo ship is the Ever Given.

This reminded me of namecoin which is a block chain based DNS.

I miss the days when there wasn’t as much plot. We didn’t need Samus to have a relationship to the Chozo. They were just cool, mysterious alien statues. They could attack her. Then in Zero they could only have a puzzle battle to help her.

I really prefer the gameplay of Super as well. There aren’t so many speed booster puzzles. No long cutscenes. It’s really good at letting me get into a flow state. The music is great, too. If you’re not good at the game, you can get enough items to make a lot more mistakes. If you’re super good at it, there’s tons of sequence breaks.

Another thing I did not like about Zero was the stealth parts. Also didn’t like the qte in Dread nor the railroading. And the 2 remake’s parry mechanic was also annoying and constantly interrupted flow.

I’m surprised you liked two so much an I found the Gameboy one extremely repetitive. AM2R made it amazing, though, so if you haven’t tried that, give it a go. Not sure where you can get it these days, though.

The plots have also sometimes been meme worthy bad. Other M comes to mind.

Another thing I really didn’t like with some of the plot driven ones was excuses to not have items that were based on Samus being somebody’s subordinate. Just let me explore. Don’t give me a manager.

But if Super isn’t doing it for you, that’s valid. I hope you get more enjoyment than frustration from the series.

Seems like they use that to circumvent other parts of the gpl, in spirit and possibly in the letter of the law. Others have more and better things to say about it than I:

I’m against

I’m not. I don’t think we’re going to change each other’s mind, so have a good one.

I guess you consider the parts of open source that are contributed to be owned by the contributors? I don’t think that’s how open source works nor how it should work.

IBM doesn’t bankroll Red Hat? Buddy, IBM owns Red Hat https://www.redhat.com/en/about/press-releases/ibm-closes-landmark-acquisition-red-hat-34-billion-defines-open-hybrid-cloud-future

I don’t see the problem with that. Red Hat is bankrolled by IBM. I don’t have any qualms about them facing competition, even underhanded competition which I don’t think this is. Contributing to open source doesn’t and shouldn’t guarantee financial compensation, customers, whatever.

Ok, but why is there even an agreement required to access to source to something, uh, open source?

IBM sucks. They have bought up a bunch of small data centers and made them worse.

I’m still pissed about CentOS as well. Long live Rocky.

Remote hands are extra.
