Regular people should nearly never have to interact with an armed officer. The cops giving out speeding tickets shouldn't be armed, the cops performing wellness checks shouldn't be armed, the cops showing up because the party next door is too loud shouldn't be armed, the cops showing up when you call 911 after a car accident shouldn't be armed, the cops showing up to take your statement after your house had been broken into shouldn't be armed.

General Gaming Finally somebody wrote what I've been saying for years
Ghost_MH replied to XxEvil AshxX's topic in The Spawn Point
We've just seen the sprites that are in that article. SE has been going back and forth with how to port the older FF games. First they redid the sprites the way they think they would have done them had they had today's technology back then. Everyone hated it, so now it looks like they've created sprites that try to emulate what the original sprites would have looked like on CRTs. I think SE's efforts would be better put to use in creating a good CRT filter and maybe some QoL updates. -
This is why you don't outsource commercial art to the lowest bid.

Yeah, it's really hard to explain what playing on a CRT was like for someone that's never played on a CRT. Screenshots don't accurately represents the experience. Games weren't a blurry mess and scan lines weren't really so pronounced as they are in most emulators. Instead, there was a short amount of color bleed between lines. This is because TVs were designed in such a way because people didn't want huge and pronounced scan lines cutting across everything. This led to a sort of blur kind of anti-aliasing, but it wasn't over the entire image, instead it only really extended to adjacent scan lines. -
Nintendo If you could visit any area in a video game which would it be?

That's my major problem with DoA. It's easily my favorite 3D fighting engine, but I haven't bothered picking up a game in the series since Dimensions on the 3DS because of how ridiculous it's been. DoA6 core is free on Steam, so I'll pick it up and see if it's gotten any better. That said, I do see that a lot of the DLC is just skimpy outfits and bikinis. -

Kiwi Farms still exists? How bad that cesspool survived and not even get blacklisted by Google? -
Crunchyroll doesn't censor anything they get. Now, if they license a series through another American publisher that does censor their stuff then that's a different story. Crunchyroll, themselves, doesn't. Neither they nor Funimation have the time to censor stuff they have up for simulcast. Whatever they air is the same as whatever gets aired on Japanese TV. That said, what's on TV in Japan is very often not what ends up on Blu-ray. Sometimes there will be some self-censorship for Japanese TV or shitty animation brought on by the crunch of scheduling that gets fixed when a series gets a proper release.

MAPPA's latest series' trailer is here. I don't know if a US home for the series has been announced, but the first manga has been hugely popular in the States and the rest of the world, so I'm not really worried about a delayed release unless Netflix picks it up. For those unfamiliar with the series, it's based on a very gory manga that follows a homeless kid that forges a pact with a chainsaw devil. This turns him into the titular Chainsaw Man and his hunt for the gun devil. On the surface, it's as dumb as it sounds, but it's also way better than any non-spoiler synopsis would indicate. I've been looking forward to this adaptation for a while now. The manga features some great action that follows incredibly well. It should, SHOULD, be a successful adaptation. The first manga series finished up late last year with a new sequel manga series currently in the works. For some time now, I've thought a Chainsaw Man anime could be a hit the same way One Punch Man and Attack on Titan had. There's aren't a huge number of manga with that kind of potential, but I really do think Chainsaw Man is one of them.

Yes, but how good they are is a different story. Snipperclips is great as are both Overcooked games. Smash Bros is a little too cramped for me. It hurts my hands after a while. Mario Kart works great as long as I turn on auto-acceleration. I'd put Puyo Puyo Tetris in here if you can get around using a joystick for these games.

The Official Thread of Systemic Racism

Always cool to see how colonialism fucked up everything... https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/article252244558.html -
GNOME has tossed the taskbar on the left side for years, so when I was primarily Linux, switching between it and Windows was handy. It was also handy back in my graphic design days on Mac OS 9 since I was mostly doing pamphlets and magazine layouts and having more vertical space on an old CRT was worth it. Only time recently I've done it was when I had an ultra wide monitor at the office. A long ass taskbar feels like such a waste of space. Also, yay for getting Captains Workspace to post a video more than once a year.

No, Luca is better than Onward so you're right there. -

I definitely enjoyed it more than Soul. I know Soul became something of a critical darling, but fuck that. While I really liked Soul, Joe was a shitty person for like 90% of the movie. On top of that, I have a very particular pet peeve when a noble sacrifice is undone like five seconds later. It's one thing that I thought Onward did exceptionally well. -
Isn't the web edition of TikTok very limited? No matter, I can think of a couple. I'd love to be able to access my home security cameras from my laptop. There's an app on my phone and no good way to view the camera feed over a browser. If it can handle Android notifications, I'd like getting notified on my laptop or desktop that someone wrang the doorbell accompanied with video. My phone does, but it's always nice to get alerts on the screen you're already looking at. There's also some silly stuff like Webtoons. I often buy comics from them, but they don't allow you to view bought chapters within a browser, only through their mobile app.

Android runs perfectly fine on x86. The issues with Chrome OS are entirely Google's fault. Google could have just created a desktop branch of Android, but they didn't. They could have created an smart device branch of Android, but didn't; and now they're doubling down with Fuscia OS that didn't even use a Linux kernel like Chrome OS and Android. That much is Google just fucking around and having no idea how to do things. All Android apps run in a sort of virtualization layer anyway, so it should work just fine in Windows. I mean, that's how the Android SDK currently works.

Has nobody else seen the? It's pretty great. It's also my kids' newest obsession, so I've watched it like three or four times already. It's nowhere near Pixar's best, but it's still very good. There's nothing wrong with a good "you don't have to be 'normal' " movie. I also really appreciate how that extends to Guilia coming from a broken home with two great parents and it's not even singled out.
