Ya know, given recent events, certain people have made me aware that I often say shalom, call my baby daughter “bubby” and use other words like “schlep” and “schvitzing,” as though Yiddish was evil. They are, of course, assholes.

Natural, I’ll continue to use those words because I was raised on Mel Brooks movies, especially Men in Tights, which is a goddamn classic.

To be fair, DB started off as a gag manga so I guess she was just sort of a gag that no longer mattered when it became less of a comedy. So… ya, forgot about her. Lol

I’ve always had a preference for Balma, it’s unfortunate she becomes less and less important as time goes on and the characters outgrow the need for tech. She’s a genius inventor, though!

Granted, I’ve always had a preference for female characters, which isn’t exactly DBs strong suit, lol. Now that I think of it, whatever happened to Launch, that lady with the two personalities? Did she just… disappear in DBZ?

When I think “AI will end humanity” I was thinking a sort of Skynet type deal, not… this. Sigh.

In LA, my situation was mostly playing video games at friends’ homes after school. I’ve taken buses since I was in middle school, though, and had a key to my home. That said, my dad is and was an abusive alcoholic, so I generally stayed out as long as possible.

Mind you, how unsafe the city is isn’t really true in many neighborhoods, especially if you’re with other teens. You can always hang out at various locations like malls, parks, the beach, library or at school. You have a lot of options in the city, especially if you’re willing to take a bus or bike places. I had friends who volunteered for Heal the Bay, for instance.

Thanks, Limewire!

My HOA is badass because it’s really just one paranoid nice lady who lets literally anyone know if a trunk is open or if someone suspicious entered, etc. I’d complain about privacy but who the fuck hangs out in hallways?

But they had a nightmare prior to me moving here. Long story short, the former board member ran a slip & fall legal case against herself which paid out to the tune of 4 million. The insurance company refused to fight it (despite the lack of evidence) and instead settled immediately, recouping their costs by raising the building’s costs four fold.

This resulted in high HOA fees while that lady just fucking bought a house and left. Her sister sticks around, though, and on multiple occasions, stolen cars have been in our garage in their spot or in the guest spot as their “guest”.

Now that I said the last part, that’s still happening and I change my answer to that also being my nightmare HOA situation. Lol

Google en passant

All good. Also I’ll look into that game, I think I got a copy at some point. It’s the kind of thing I think I’d like.

I think the down votes are because the post is ultimately about the reliance on online libraries being flawed, which steam certainly is. Honestly, it often feels like steam will be around until the heat death of the universe, but alas I always figure I’m good though at piracy that all my purchases are essentially a donation, anyway.

That said, I think I heard that they have a policy that if it were to come to that, any files made local on your machine are yours and can still play them. Might be tricky if it’s drm and they go poof, though.

I did feel like the main theme that plays during certain montages had a bit of a 90s feel to it. Probably the use of a choir. Lol

Oof, can you imagine a Trace Adkins style town theme. I can stand that of it music, haha.

Then again, you know Soken must have at least thought about it for the Western areas, complete with Koji Fox doing a fake twangy accent singing about booze, his ride, and those cow analogue things you can ride.

Yeah, but it’s still a bop. Soken usually sticks to the tropes, but after fighting things like fairy kings and bug dudes to very… unique boss themes, I think he gets a pass.

(I wonder if it was scored to be a “America” style theme. Would make more sense, lol)

I mean at this point that’s my first thought when I think organized religion, so yeah, not shocking. Expected, even.

Well… I mean, if it’s out of context hand models, I don’t think potential employers are going to care, haha.

Something along those lines, although someone with better memory might recall. I think they even had the setting sort of figured out, which kind of shows in the early lore of that game.

To point 2, I like to mention that Overwatch started off as a scraped game. MMO if I remember right. Oversaturated market, so they took the assets and jumped into hero shooters when the concept was fresh.

Obviously contemporary Blizzard still found a way to ruin it, but to be fair the genre more or less than it’s course by then. Anyway, if Sony had an ounce of talent that old Blizzard had, they’d have done likewise.

Technically they still have it in their portfolio when they apply to their next, likely more lucrative job. 3D artists, illustrators, animators, etc, can use assets in highlight reels (usually, especially after NDA is cleared after release).

Also AAA titles are a collaborative effort. While it’ll suck to see it panned, knowing you are just the guy who made the hands or something softens that blow.

I think the lesson this meme is saying is, you can sell pics of your feet too! Then you can donate money to anyone you want. Lol

Hehe, indeed. Although they moved onto “vaccines put microchips in you to let Bill Gates control you” so who knows. (Side note, autistic people are chill, significantly less likely to ruin my night with bullshit, lol)
