I don’t have an answer to your question, I just wanna say, that while Hi-Fi Rush was a surprise hit, calling it one of the most popular games of the last 5 years is fucking wild. Baldur’s Gate 3, Elden Ring, GoW Ragnarok, Doom Eternal, Last of Us Part II, etc etc. The list of higher profile, more successful games goes on man.

You should read The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks (Mel Brooks’ son) it’s a great little book with a ton of practical advice for if zombies were real it’s super fun. It takes a very realistic approach.

It really depends on the specific fandom, but my favorite excuse isn’t that their teeth are sharp, but moreso that they don’t feel pain so they bite a lot harder than would be comfortable for a normal human.

To say any one particular group, be it ethnicity, race, sexuality or otherwise is funnier than the rest, is still a broad stroke generalization. Just because you’re saying something positive instead of negative doesn’t make it any less problematic. It’d be like if I said all black people are really hip and trendy. That wouldn’t be okay. People are individuals.

Please avoid being offensive

Let’s generalize entire groups of people for fun!

Pick one

I second this, I got into the beta on Friday and have been having a blast. It’s remarkably polished for a beta and everyone who gets in can invite as many people as they want and those people can also invite as many people as they want and so on and so on. So it’s spreading like wild fire, should be pretty easy to get into.

Truly the end of an era

Vimm’s just got a ton of games taken down too. They’re still up, but at a significantly reduced capacity.

I tried Linux as a daily driver for a couple months last year. I distro hopped quite a bit in that time and ended up settling on Manjaro. It was a pretty good experience over all, the only reason I switched back is because I couldn’t get mods to work with Guild Wars 2 without crashes, but every other game I played worked fine and I don’t really play GW2 anymore. So when support for 10 drops next year, I’ll probably go back to Manjaro.

I was a little all over the place, but I enjoyed it none the less. I would have liked to see more of the day to day lives of the apes under Proximus’ rule too, but I get that it was a very personal story without much room for that.

I’d give it a solid 6.5, decent, but not nearly as good as dawn/rise/war.

Also Raka was my favorite character. There was an orangutan noise that played after the credits finished rolling that sounded like him, so I’m hoping that means he’s still alive and will be in the sequel.

It really comes down to the specific collection. Some TPB and omnibuses are more complete than others. Google is your friend in this instance. If there’s a collection that catches your eye, Google around to see if there’s any supplementary reading that goes with it.

Alternatively, of your have an android device and you don’t mind reading your comics digitally, you can do what I do and use Mihon (https://mihon.app/) to find most comics for free and then just Google the reading order of whatever it is you’re trying to to read. For example if you want to read all of Clairmont’s X-Men run you’d just Google “Chris Clairmont X-Men reading order” it’s that simple.

I’m not a Linux guru by any stretch of the imagination, but I’m a pretty big gamer and I daily drove Linux as a sort of experiment for a few months a last year. I went with Manjaro and had a pretty enjoyable experience.

Bonk

AI has no place in the world of art. It’s soulless and depressing.

Old as it is, a lot of his points still hold water. AI interpolation still shits all over artistic intent. Shit looks awful.

And the after all that work, the finished product still looks worse than the original. Make it more obvious that you didn’t watch my link.

Ai upscaled animation is trash

Yes, because there are definitely more options than waste your years trapped in wage slavery. 🙄

I just put together an FPGBC. It’s pretty great and way cheaper than an Analogue Pocket. This video does a pretty good job of the build process and and an overview of the features.

I was in Erie PA, which was in the totality. It was mostly cloudy until like 1:30ish. It cleared up enough to watch the moon creep up and the totality, then the clouds came back a couple minutes after. It was really the perfect window. I consider myself very lucky, because the next one that’s going to come anywhere near me is gonna be in like, 50 years.
