- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 1 week ago:
a lot of people do dislike the franchise for multiple reason, the mission structure being one.
I played Dragon’s Dogma 2, and realized that has the kind of mission structure that I would really love in a GTA or RDR game. Even if the missions in DD2 weren’t all that great themselves, they didn’t end the mission and send you back to the start even if an important character died. The quests weren’t quarantined off in a part of the open world, they were embedded within it.

I’m slowly moving my collection over to Songbook Pro. It isn’t perfect, but you can search ultimateguitar’s tabs and save them locally.
It’s incredible how quickly it loads a page of text (when comparing to UG’s pathetically terrible app experience).

I don’t know why it takes 45 seconds every time it needs to update the screen.

I’m enjoying your posts, it’s really neat to see retro game tech from China; I really didn’t know what was available there since western journalists don’t really cover it.

Cool, I’d hate to live in a place where you can creep on your neighbors.

You think so? You think you have a right to install your camera on public property?
There are usually peeping tom laws that prevent this kind of thing, and it’s certainly cause for a civil harassment case if the person you’re spying on knows about it.
The real question is: why do you want the ability to film someone’s house like that unless you’re a creeper?

You should definitely read the book if it’s a topic that interests you; it’s the best overview of conservatism that I’ve read. I’d say you’re pretty well aligned with what he wrote within, too.
- Comment on Fascism bad. 2 months ago:
But I’m not sure how to reconcile that with modern “rightists” who want to burn down the system and aren’t conservative in the lowercase-C sense.
The Republican party (and conservatism as a movement) are full-blown reactionaries. I like this passage from Corey Robin’sThe Reactionary Mind:
People who aren’t conservative often fail to realize this, but conservatism really does speak to and for people who have lost something. It may be a landed estate or the privileges of white skin, the unquestioned authority of a husband or the untrammeled rights of a factory owner. The loss may be as material as money or as ethereal as a sense of standing. It may be a loss of something that was never legitimately owned in the first place; it may, when compared with what the conservative retains, be small. Even so, it is a loss, and nothing is ever so cherished as that which we no longer possess. It used to be one of the great virtues of the left that it alone understood the often zero- sum nature of politics, where the gains of one class necessarily entail the losses of another. But as that sense of conflict diminishes on the left, it has fallen to the right to remind voters that there really are losers in politics and that it is they— and only they— who speak for them. “All conservatism begins with loss,” Andrew Sullivan rightly notes, which makes conservatism not the Party of Order, as Mill and others have claimed, but the party of the loser.
The chief aim of the loser is not— and indeed cannot be— preservation or protection. It is recovery and restoration.
And from another section:
There’s a fairly simple reason for the embrace of radicalism on the right, and it has to do with the reactionary imperative that lies at the core of conservative doctrine. The conservative not only opposes the left; he also believes that the left has been in the driver’s seat since, depending on who’s counting, the French Revolution or the Reformation. If he is to preserve what he values, the conservative must declare war against the culture as it is.

There’s a fire starting in your ship Reaching a fever pitch and it’s bringing 'em out the dark Finally I can see you crystal clear Go 'head and crash land and I’ll strip your saucer bare
See how I leave with every piece of it Don’t underestimate the things that I will do There’s a fire starting in my heart Reaching a fever pitch and its bringing me out the dark
The scars and gore remind me of war They keep me thinking that we almost lost it all The holes in my suit they leave me breathless, I can’t help feeling
We could have had it all Terror in the deep You had my heart inside of your hand And you played it to the beat
