You can’t get it from the store, but it still works as long as you already had it, install using a browser running Chromium V2 before updating, or install it from file, right? Better yet, switch to Firefox (but the most de-Mozilla’d one)

I think the villain said “She”, which is far less dehumanising but of course makes the quote, referring to the girl being ready for sex as soon as her period starts, no less horrifying

Ya we really shouldn’t pretend that that is hentai - makes people like my father not know that hentai is only Animé with explicit pornographic/sexual themes. We refer to non-sexually explicit Animé as Animé

Steam is turning into a sour grape for me - I complied with their restrictive and ancient method of age verification for UK accounts but I kind of want to migrate off them (they also charge high fees for devs, make it ridiculously difficult for new devs to exist, can singlehandedly destroy a studio and are very much monopolising the PC games industry so there’s also ethics) - in favour of GOG. At least with them you own your games, and can (shock horror) even choose whether or not to update and patch that way to glitch out of the map, or duplicate those orbs for currency, or anything else that doesnt comply with the specific way you’re allowed to play with the world they built.

Xbox has had this for quite a while now (although I haven’t checked if that’s UK exclusive yet)
- Comment on Extreme screen glare 5 weeks ago:
I mean, it’s not terrible, I believe a rival light source interrupts the waves from the screen so it doesnt hurt as much (is also the science behind monitor bars), but I agree – I’d probably prefer a no-image-compromise, scratch-resistant, effective antiglare coating to a simply brighter screen. Can’t say for sure though as my phone doesn’t have a coating

It seems very common in the US to get these mailed by the supplier. This one seems to be a blueprint for National Grid, and is similar to a post from this house light show co. on Facebook

Good point, with a caveat. The vast majority of aforementioned demand on China is terrible quality. That doesn’t mean that the only reason Chinese trash manufacture exists is because of foreign contracts. In fact, I believe very few of them were actually ‘asked to make trash’.
I am willing to stake that nobody, not even American businessmen, paid those manufacturers to create ten thousand seller pages on Amazon and the like with randomly generated six character names.

PFF I didnt know the US exported anything good. I never mentioned the US.
EU, on the other hand… There are more than two countries in the world

Not if you look outside China for your products. West Taiwan does export some quality but they’re unicorns
- Comment on ‘Seeking connection’: the video game (Arc Raiders) where players stopped shooting and started talking... 1 month ago:
Hell, I wish more games just had humanity. It might be due to me being antiwar, but when playing MMOs (whose MO is pretty much always ‘kill each other’ PVP) I wish folk were not so quick to kill, especially not when the kill isn’t imperative. Face it, some of the best ever moments in gaming are when folk have the option to kill each other and dont. A shred of humanism.
Universal signs in COD existed to plead for mercy, such as switching to a knife and looking away. In Black Ops II there’s a rave room in a map and several players spent a minute bobbing their characters around until someone else came and mowed the other team down. One time in Battlefield I spent the majority of a game (no mic mind you) chilling on a roof with half a dozen players from two teams. I came to multiplayer FPS games for the combat, stayed for the randoms I met.

They have powerful little toofs! Have you seen a skull or mockup? Took me seeing a model in the vet’s office to realise they have teeth way further in, loads of molars for the cromch

They blep out the pieces, and the energy is mostly harmless it seems. They love that spicy hay. Can confirm mine were fine with a 24v 0.5a current at the most (partner’s laptop cable while charging) but generally they are tiny and can easily die from it, in theory
- Comment on What are some good, solid cables for charging and data transfer? 1 month ago:
Apple users won’t know the difference - I know a lot of the time data and power transfer numbers don’t matter to the average user, but I feel it’s goddamn criminal to use USB C but artificially restrict (for their non Pro phones ofc) to 2.0 speeds, while charging the same for their products as other, far better equipped phones. Same with Samsung and their incessant restrictions on any cable that’s not Samsung, offering like 60W of charging speed max. Meanwhile all the other Androids are living it up with USB3.2, max 10Gbps, and >100W since 2023.

I do my best. It is frustrating when an ‘independent’ storefront uses Amazon Logistics /FBA aha. And I can’t easily avoid Amazon’s primary source of income AWS, but I can reduce their e-commerce traffic at least. I love “Jeff Mart”
- Comment on What are some good, solid cables for charging and data transfer? 1 month ago:
Whatever cables you want, buy Anker, go braided, and buy from their store and not Amazon. I don’t know what kind of monkeys are breaking them and such. The only thing that ever killed my cables in 4+ years of use was a rabbit

I feel like 10¢ US per game per month is pretty expensive. I mean, that’s 30% more expensive than Xbox Game Pass Premium which offers top tier, popular games, and their monetised multiplayer servers. I think they’re gonna struggle to make a sustainable service from this
