And unfortunately the real world is basically corpo world

You look good signed

No Sega. Bad Sega. Don’t make me get the spray bottle…

Thank fuck for that.

SE1 is a game I’ve wanted to get into but the awkwardness and requirement to do homework for basically everything has always seen me bouncing off. Hopefully a sequel will iron out those issues. I don’t mind the potential complexity, just make the on-board less of a wall.

The manga and anime market is about to get real dystopian in the west.

Honestly, same. I’m so beyond tired of this “free” stuff Americans like to latch onto, not realising how much is stolen from the average Joe and Josephine before it becomes “free”.

The French aren’t the bastions maintaining rights they seem to be known as. Yes, they’ll throw a tantrum over political changes they don’t like, but late stange capitalism is still pretty bad and the average store is extremely bad for the standard competition that would favour the individual. Any mention of “I can get this cheaper at X.” is known to be followed up with “Cool. Fuck off over there then.” In as many words. Returning a faulty item will see the item getting a rigorous inspection to check that it’s still in pristine condition so it can be put back on the shelf to be sold to the next sucker (this is in the large supermarkets, not just the rare shady mom and pop stores). And electricity bills are double customer usage because the primary electricity supplier is owner by the state so they’re “legally” able to add 3 different taxes and their R&D bill to your bill. The telecoms companies do similar, partaking in that fun practice of adding nothing services to your plan you didn’t ask for and then “making things even” by raising your bill. And don’t get me started on the standard for customer support.

Consumer rights are a joke in France and for all of these death-by-a-thousand-cuts capitalist agenda BS practices, the people of France do nothing.

I’m afraid I don’t have good news…

Nintendo really is the Disney of video games.

Reminds me of a line from a Jim Carrey stand-up. On the subject of that little voice in the back of your head “Turning the vehicle into on-coming traffic would be COUNTERPRODUCTIVE”

Getting the full, but streamlined experience? There’s still a difference between watching a film and playing an interactive film.

Goth?

Having experienced it personally before now, yup. Very easy.

Way I had it explained to me is it has a good chance of severing the brain stem, supposedly killing you quicker than a hole through multiple parts of your brain matter which is a way some people survive the attempt. Also, suicide by gun is a lot quicker and easier than something like taking a knife to one of your veins, either the “results” way or the “attention” way.

That said, sometimes it’s a moment of none thinking. Some people see a quick out and take it. I was once told an annecdote from a client I met at work about a friend of his who everyone thought was fine right until he was cutting fire wood one day and opted to throw his throat on a running chainsaw. Anyone thinking for more than a couple of seconds realises that’s an extraordinarily horrible way to go out, but sometimes that 1 is all it takes.

Funny enough, I’ve got a similar history with WD somehow.

Seagate Ironwolfs aren’t a bad shout. They come in a multitude of sizes (capacity) and are specifically for servers so they have to be made as durable and vibration-free as possible.

Hides airport scanner under a sheet. This? No, don’t worry, it’s just a telephone box.

Who said you have to?

You can’t see it but I promise I’m celebrating.
