You know before Biden said Laken Riley's name, should have told Marjorie Taylor Greene say the names of the children killed in this country last year from assault rifles.

Or the name of a single person killed in similar circumstances between the years of 2016 and 2020.

First Miura, now Toriyama…

Araki had better keep bathing in unicorn blood or whatever stops him from aging.

“Are you better off than 3 years ago?”

 

WTF?! Isn’t it ‘four years ago’ ?

More like three years and roughly six weeks.

Porter is now saying the election was rigged 

I believe she clarified that she meant rigged in the sense that a ton of money went to a more centrist, less progressive candidate as opposed to actual vote fuckery.

Oh we’re totally getting that photo of her on the phones for him looking sad like Ted Cruz in 2016.

I don’t know about that, she’s not clinging to a political career the way Cruz is.  I don’t know what Haley has planned in the long term, but Cruz needed to ride Trump’s coattails in a way she currently does not.

Christ, now we’re quoting Margaret Thatcher

And it’s over.

Nintendo is absolutely the harshest on piracy of the big three, but at the same time I honestly wonder what some of these teams are thinking.  Nintendo is openly known to be extremely litigious, you’re actively developing emulation software for their current generation console, AND you have a patreon taking money for it.  It’s like painting a target onto itself and sending their attorneys your exact gps coordinates.  
 

There is plenty of Nintendo emulation out there that they are seemingly content to leave be.  The Analogues and MiSTers of the world don’t seem to be getting sued into oblivion.  I’m sure part of it is the method of emulation, but I’m sure a huge part of it is the effort simply isn’t worth it for protecting games that are decades old and they aren’t actively selling in any capacity.

The fact that both Nintendo and Tropic Haze are now asking the judge to say yes to following feels weird:

(that's taken from the verge article linked above)

 

This is tinfoil hat conspiracy talk, but that very much feels like Nintendo is telling Tropic Haze to go along with requesting this statement in exchange for not having to get sued for a harsher fine.

 

EDIT: also, if the judge goes along with that statement, then every "bring your own BIOS" emulator is now going to less legal.

Taking the smaller L now instead of the bigger L at trial is 95% of lawyering.  There is no tin foil hat required, that’s just the system working as intended.

I find it hard to believe that “their current platform is at risk” when the Switch is on its final year of life (while Yuzu has been around for years now), and is the third best selling console of all time.

People were posting sub 1 hour speed runs of TotK on launch day.  They didn’t figure it out and get that down in less than 24 hours, they were playing leaked emulated copies.  

We can argue back and forth about the actual damage of piracy and emulation endlessly, it’s always going to be theoretical.  You can buy a steam deck and get switch emulation working fairly well out of the box with minimal effort.  

I think Sony and Xbox kind of skate by on power more than anything else.  Yes, PlayStation and Xbox emulation are a thing, but you generally speaking need a PC more powerful and expensive than the current console to make it run worth a damn and older emulators aren’t eating into the current market so it’s hardly worth the effort.  If you really wanted to run PS4 games, it’s way cheaper to buy a used PS4 or even a PS5 than a competent PC.  Nintendo has its current platform at risk and compared to the other two actually consistently makes their older games available for a small fee.  

I was too young to see The Crow when it came out, but it was such a cultural presence that it got built up in my head as this super dark, gritty movie.  Then I finally saw it and it’s goofy as all hell.  I wonder if the remake is going to ditch that part of it.

It’s a shame Biden isn’t the evil mastermind the right thinks he is, because I would just have a series of drone strikes waiting in anticipation of the decision.  

In hindsight, I wish a meteor hit CPAC 15 years ago.  And every year since.

I was absolutely miserable during my forced WFH period and was very pleased to return to the office full-time.

 

I totally need to have a clear and distinct division between my "home" and my "workplace".

 

In fact, I show up at the office on days when I know that I'm going to be the only person there just to show the degree to which I will avoid working from home.

No fucking shit.

Mustangs are like tampons.  All pussies get one eventually.

It saddens me deeply that I actually kind of like the Mach-e.

I think embryos are typically in dewars of liquid nitrogen to avoid this exact problem.  

Here my dumb ass was thinking it was a Star Wars joke.
