Imagine thinking that platform only “went bad” recently.

Pretend you like, and are interested in the meaning of, her unnecessary wrist tattoo. That’s good for at least 5 minutes of conversation.

This sounds awesome. It uses the native YouTube app? Or YouTube in the TV web browser?

The temp is low but it is a vacuum. Vacuums are bad at dissipating heat. Think of the vacuum walled drinking vessels. They are so efficient at keeping beverages hot/cool because the vacuum insulates the majority of the surface area that heat can move across.

Likewise a cooling tank of water (typical nuclear reactor design) itself surrounded by vacuum, will not cool efficiently at all. Presumably they’d have to use piping to circulate the water over a large surface area of some other medium like the moon rock itself.

This is where “piracy” is actually the industry’s saving grace. Decades or centuries later, will record labels exist and be well-managed (and flush with cash) enough to preserve archival copies of their artists catalogs? Probably not.

Will obscure weirdos exist all around the world on Usenet, IRC, or seeding torrents? Possibly.

Here’s an idea: Maybe stop making films no one asked for?

Even fans of the franchise didn’t really want this. How do you translate a looter shooter into a watchable 2 hour film?

I really enjoy playing Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, 15 minutes at a time on my Steam Deck. I’m not sure I need to see some forced deep cinematic character development extrapolated from it. There’s not that much to it.

This is stupid. I will dig further into the real impact to Graphene.

I thought about experimenting with this (Guess it is a good thing I didn’t). There are so many low effort “Lo Fi” types of streams and tracklists on Spotify and elsewhere. Who is to say my software generated garbage would be any worse than those?

There are also YouTubers who generate low effort music and ask their normal content subscribers to stream their shit on Spotify even if they aren’t legitimately listening. So are those streams fraudulent as well?

It sounds like the thing he is getting popped for is the volume of automated streams.

WTF is wrong with people.

This is a vibe

Remember kids, the amount you like yourself is inversely proportional to the amount you like Evangelion.

One time I saw a guy who made a papier mache Necron Pylon.

Moons over My Hammy

She posted about this. Basically the party aparatchiks came to her house and told her to stop her “subversive” activities (posting on YouTube, talking about devices useful to protestors, mentioning being a lesbian in public media) or she would not like the consequences. She said she would leave the country entirely, except her romantic partner cannot leave (I assume this is due to political travel restrictions or family reasons).

I think her content was awesome and it showed someone defying expectations of who can do product design, fabrication, electrical engineering, etc.

China should very much get roasted for silencing speech.

You do have to get an invite, seed, and maybe toss them a small crypto donation occasionally. The ratio thing depends on the tracker but usually it’s just a requirement to seed back anything for at least a week. Popular torrents become FreeLeech and they don’t count against your ratio.

Because the participants are all vetted, you don’t get RIAA and MPAA shills in swarm trying to vacuum up IPs to start sending nasty legal letters out.

A decade ago when I used public torrents I remember getting those stupid ISP strikes. I know shit-tier regional ISPs would even try to embarrass you with the content you pirated. They’d send you a letter like “the Copyright holder for ‘Anal Hookers of Beijing’ told us they’re big mad at you, and if you do it again you’ll get your service revoked”. Some of these ISPs were integrated with cable companies so they’d freeze your internet and cable, and display the text of the copyright strike on your fucking TV for your girlfriend or grandma to see.

Fuck that noise.

Since using a private tracker I have never received a single cease and desist or ISP warning letter. Then again, I only use Bit Torrent to download Linux ISOs.

Private Trackers are the way forward.

Anakin: In this anime the wife regresses to an elementary school kid.

Padme: Because it’s wholesome, right?

Anakin: …

Superman 64.

Weeks and months of hype (the era of print gaming journalism), Blockbuster stocking 100 copies on launch day for “guaranteed availability” etc.

Then I finally popped the cart in, and this thing was so bad it just defied all logic. Horrific controls, shitty graphics, unclear user interface and objectives, terrible draw distance. Timed level segments and insane difficulty.

There might be “worse” games but I have never been more disappointed in a release than Superman 64.

I think the various debloat scripts (Chris Titus etc.) should take care of this.

Obviously this remedy is just harm reduction.

Going forward I will be maining various Linux distros and using Wine/Proton compatibility, or TinyWin10 on a VM, for any tasks that absolutely require Windows.

Lots of obviously fake tipoffs in this one. The overall scrawny bitch aesthetic, the fact she is wearing a club/bar wrist band, the bottle of Mom Party Select™ wine, and the persons thumb/knee in the frame… All those details are initially plausible until you see the shitty AI artifacts.
