Correct. Just open your list of devices on the Oculus support site and it should just have the option to claim your new face cover. Their own documentation makes it sound way more complicated than it is.

Oculus Quest 2 Recall for Facial Interface Issues WWW.OCULUS.COM Oculus has issued a voluntary recall of the Oculus Quest 2 detachable facial interface in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Go get the gross foam pads on your Quest 2 replaced with a free silicone one.

The biggest difference between the gaming industry and others are that "gamers" are more than willing to carry water for these assholes.

It's easily fixable, but nobody that can enact the change is willing to. The gaming press could choose to not cover games by these companies. That would do it. Governments could also hold the execs at these companies responsible fire the mistreatment and harassment of they're employees, but they're unwilling to hold these wealthy men to account. Gamers could also just boycott these games, but 90% of gamers don't know anything about this and 9% of those that do well forget about this a few weeks from now.

Correct. I don't understand how this kind of harassment isn't illegal. How is sharing nudes against someone's will not run aground California revenge porn laws?

It was pruned by the TVA, but that doesn't mean they don't exist in the scared timeline.

Individual contributors nearly always try their best. It's management that fucks it up while facing zero consequences. They fucked up and then fired the folks whose lives they'd made miserable for nine months.

Should have gone with the Spiders. They had a perfectly good name right there. It would have been so easy to charge $30 for some $2 spider plushies in the park.

Yeah, I don't get it. Years back, I was appalled that some random VP thought he could yell at me. I thought that was a pretty shitty work environment. I've lost our on money and promotions because of racist bosses, and I thought those were shitty work environments. All of that pales compared to this. How fucked in the head do people have to be to think any of this is ok? None of these people should ever be allowed to work again. I know I wouldn't feel comfortable knowing they were hired by my company and I'm not a woman. How does some of this behavior not end with you on a registry?

I'm reading this comic that is pretty close to literally a woman trying to nope her way out of all the horror shit happening around her. There's are good stories to tell in that scenario.

The press in this country has always been worthless. It has always carried water for government employees acting in bad faith. I'm including its mealy mouthed reporting on police misconduct with "government employees acting in bad faith". It's nothing new, it's just the these people acting in bad faith have caught on to how worthlessly spinless the press is and have taken more and more advantage of it.

That sounds a lot like critical race theory.

Imagine being so bad at your job that it results in a 2yo being abused for a year, but the end result is a 19 month, fully paid sabbatical and you come back too an employee of the year award. Officer of the Year in El Monte didn’t work a single day in 2020 – San Gabriel Valley Tribune WWW.SGVTRIBUNE.COM Detective Carlos Molina was placed on administrative leave for 19 months while the city investigated his handling of a yearlong child abuse investigation that went nowhere.

He sounds like a pleasant guy... Hating so many different kinds of people must be exhausting. No wonder these people are always cranky and whiny.

What's crazy to me is how something as big and busy as the Olympics is being organized a year after being delayed for a pandemic and everyone involved just wasn't forced to vaccinate.

Best electric car I've ever seen... That window defroster at the 10 minute mark is so good.

Eh, that's probably fair for the most popular of series, but I'm not really sure that's the case for a lot of stuff out there. I mean, even My Hero Academia strays pretty far from the most common shonen action tropes. I mean, it does that by borrowing heavily from American comics, so it's not really new to anyone immersed in American comics. One Punch Man and Jujutsu Kaisen skewer shonen anime pretty well. When Chainsaw Man airs that will also be a pretty big departure from your typical shonen anime. I'm not even leaving the world of Shonen Jump. There's a lot more anime these days and all of it is getting localized. There are some pretty good, short form comedy series like Way of the House Husband and Asobi Asobase. Don't assume anything about Asobi Asobase from screenshots or trailers. That series is like what would happen if a bunch of Adult Swim writers decided to get serious and write a shojo slice of life anime, but couldn't get away from including the occasional ass laser. Thinking about oddball comedies, I'd be remiss to not include Pop Team Epic or Aggretsuko. I mean, this kind of comedy isn't new. Cromartie High School is like twenty years old now and was just as weird as anything airing on Adult Swim back in the early aughts. Still, it would be wildly cynical to brush them all off as the same. That would be like swearing off stand up comedy because it's just different jokes by a different person. I mean, not all of anime is screaming dudes refusing to discuss their emotions while they bleed out over grotesquely misshapen women straight out of the Rob Liefeld School of I've Never Seen a Woman in Real Life. There is a lot of stuff that isn't any of that. I usually try to keep my anime threads around here limited to series that sort of buck anime conventions. Mieruko-chan is one of those. It presents itself an a shojo slice of life series, but there are just ask of these eldritch abominations just roaming about. These series interpretation of the grim reaper as a maniacal, bandaged axe murderer is so good. Even the gods in this one are wildly creepy. My biggest fear for the anime is that they'll tone things down.

Incident of drunk man kicking humanoid robot raises legal questions TECHXPLORE.COM A few weeks ago, a drunk man in Japan was arrested for kicking a humanoid robot that was stationed as a greeter at a SoftBank, Corp., store, which develops the robots. According to the police report, ... A similar thing happened to another Pepper at a mall in California a few years after that. Dude tackled it and sent its head flying to the dismay of kids watching. These things are little more than glorified mall kiosks with an Alexa.

There was no golden age of anime, just like the was no golden age of American TV. There's just more of everything. With American TV; there's more limited series, more reality TV, more housewives, more procedural dramas, more sitcoms, and always a new Law and Order. Same goes for anime. There's just more. It's not any more or less entertaining. Just more of it. The biggest change we've really seen outside of streaming money is a renewed appreciation for Korean manhwa. That's led to some great anime like Tower of God, Noblesse, and God of Highschool. There's also the pretty good, live action adaptation of Sweet Home. I'm honestly kind of shocked these really good stories have gone ignored by most of the rest of the world for so long.

Most anime does nothing for me, even the wildly popular stuff. Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid is super popular and I have no idea who this series is meant for. Nothing against anyone that likes it. It's just not for me. There's plenty of anime I've enjoyed in my life that others probably couldn't care for. With foreign moneys and streaming coming in, there's a whole lot more ultra-niche stuff out there. It's no longer mostly anime that's airing on came and broadcast TV in Japan. That also means there's a WHOLE lot more...stuff...to sort through. I sometimes look at the simulcast section of Crunchyroll and think to myself "who tf is watching all of this?", but it's also all wildly varied. I can't really complain about how weird some of this stuff is, though. I spent a lot of highschool and college watching Adult Swim.

There are some pretty great, realistic slice of life series and movies out there. Shinichiro Watanabe did a pretty great job of this with stuff like Kids on the Slope and Carole and Tuesday. There's also Your Lie in April m Those all revolve around music and gave key amazing soundtracks. As far as movies go, I think A Silent Voice is pretty great. It's about a highschool kid trying to make amends to a deaf girl he bullied in middle school. You can also stay in Ghibli and go with The Wind Rises or Whisper of the Heart. 5 Centimeters Per Second is a modern classic. None of this stuff is as heartbreaking as Grave of the Fireflies, but also very little really is. There isn't a whole ton of true to life anime like Grave of the Fireflies out there. Even the historical stuff like Vinland Saga and Kingdom is normally dialed to 11, anime-style.

I should probably point out that I'm pretty picky when it comes to anime and REALLY don't have a lot of time these days. I read a million and one manga and manhwa series, but not that much anime. These are the only 2021 series I thought worth spending time on are Attack on Titan, Please Don't Bully Me Nagatoro, Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia, Dr Stone, Tokyo Revengers, and Way of the House Husband.

"I was very immature" is a weird way to say "I was a deranged psychopath". I guess when it comes to life choices starting from there, music composer is better than serial killer.

Gurren Lagan is one of the best parody anime out there and Madoka Magica is wildly good, especially if you go in knowing nothing. However, I do also hold the very contrarian opinion that Evangelion gets a big meh from me. Sure, it was wildly influential, but as a narrative is kind of all over the place. There is a lot of really bad anime out there. I'm not entirely sure that really differs all that much from like TV, in general. The vast majority of primetime television in the US is trash. Netflix releases new originals every week and 99% of that is trash not worth anyone's time. Random curiosity struck, it looks like the next Netflix original is a furry, blind date series, but with people that swear they aren't furries, called Sexy Beasts. A lot of the most popular anime isn't that bad and some of it's actually pretty great. Demon Slayer is good. The manga is complete and the series and movies are doing crazy well, so that one has a very good reason to go to completion. One Piece is likely safe and it's also actually good. I mean, One Piece is the best selling comic/manga thing ever, so that's a plus if you're looking for stability.

This reminds me of a video I just watched over the weekend... There's are some shitty expectations you need to know going into anime that's an adaptation of manga. Either it will never end, it'll end poorly, or you'll luck out and get a complete series. Even the lucky part is rare for longer series. There aren't many like Hajime no Ippo, Fruits Baskets, or Full Metal Alchemist out there. That is, series that got a second chance at life after poor planning or unfinished storylines. An easy way to avoid that is sticking with anime that adapts complete series or original anime, if you don't have plans to pick up the manga. Even Bleach was cancelled without a real ending.
