@scribus one of the things Biden has going for him is that he’s running against a maniac, if it was Biden vs Romney then Kanye would probably run off with a Ross Perot sized vote haul that ultimately would change nothing but would make him feel like he did something.

In the past the US was deterring Mexicans coming into the country. Now (a part of) Mexico has closed the border to the US halting US citizens from coming to their country. Canada has also closed the border.

George Soros created covid-19 so that Donald Trump would get blamed for it so that Hillary Clinton would be elected President so that Obama can reign supreme as America’s emperor, and Joe Biden’s presidential campaign is there to distract Bernie Sanders and now Hillary Clinton is able to move on in the presidential campaign unimpeded.

Originally I formed a plan to travel to Japan or the USA for my Summer vacation at the end of last year. Lucky me who had not purchased any tickets. A friend of mine wanted to Canada in a few weeks and ordered the tickets long time in advance but has to cancel them with a hefty cancellation fee (he had multiple flights throughout North America).

I'm not even sure some of these changes are "problems" and not more like "just an obvious place to maybe recast for a start," really?

@scribus the sentiment is nice and all but working from the societal equivalent of an F to a C- and calling it a day is not the big move they must think it is
-
@tiff Oh, and I totally get that. Like, a BW vid saying "I take responsibility" or whatever? Jegus... It's all been showboating and easy answers so far, it seems.
-
@scribus oh yeah that too, I was thinking about the industry at large but also individual people saying "I didn't know this racist thing I actively engaged in was racist" is something I don't often buy

OMG. Netflix has not fixed the audio of "Drunken Master" for two years. I wanted to see it with the Chinese audio track, however there are a lot of parts which have English for no apparent reason. The FIRST scene has English! I read that an older DVD had the same issue.

People keep telling me there’s actual logic behind The Simpsons’ production codes but I know they’re just as confused as I am. Only a maniac would label the first production season “7G”.

I gotta say, blocking would-be constituents is a really great way to keep losing elections.

@mrmattimation The rep for Corona keeps blocking constituents on Twitter, I've heard it's unconstitutional
-
@scribus iirc the ruling was that government accounts (which includes Trump’s personal account, due to some records act that encompasses both his and Obama’s Twitter history) are public forums and therefore cannot block people, but PRIVATE political accounts are not. IE, the state party can block users because the party is not affiliated with the government, and “campaign accounts” (which most Reps tend to use instead of their office accounts) can do so as well.
-
@mrmattimation I see. I figure, screw twitter anyway. The internet needs a cleansing fire. One day, the impure will be destroyed. One day, the Users will return. #tronlives heh

800 pages left and I have finished reading all of the Inu Yasha manga. Roundabout 10300 pages for the whole thing.

@adiwan Thank god Tolkien didn't live to work in the medium. Then again, maybe "The Hobbit" would justify three movies...
-
@scribus The Hobbit is a short book but it compresses time a lot and a lot and things are not very well told because they come somewhat out of nowhere. 3 movies is a bit much, I can agree that 2 would be very fine.
Reading Inu Yasha to the end was easier than Lord of the Rings. I HATE all those lengthy scenic descriptions in LOTR and my brain fades out too quickly to get past them. LOTR would work a lot better as a comic because those would be held to a brief instance and not minutes and multiple pages. To be frank: Inu Yasha has also big pacing issues. It could have been easily cut in half without losing too much of its substance. Towards the end it got DBZ-like when it comes to stretching the content and delay the inevitable.

Cops were called on one of my employees today. He’s autistic, so he makes a lot of noises when he’s alone and somebody heard and thought he was arguing with someone. Cops showed up, immediately decided the black kid was the reason they were here instead of trying to ask questions. Fortunately we were able to explain the situation before it got out of hand but god damn that cherryes me off.

@mrmattimation Pretend watching them in the cinema in the 1930s. The old film resolution is somewhat close to 2K resolution. You just need a film grain filter and bad speakers, and maybe an old-timey seat.

I could kick myself in the ass. The whole week I was trying to 3D print a special holder for a new hotend with a SLA resin printer and was failing at every attempt because of inaccuracies. The first attempt with my FDM printer with PETG was an immediate success. Go figure.

New Pokémon Snap? I'm gladly waiting for all the reviews. Especially I'm waiting for all the reviewers and people bashing it for being too repetitive, short, and unoriginal. The N64 game can be played through within a few hours, and even then there was barely any varying gameplay beyond gushing over 3-dimensional Pokémon jumping around and abusing them with throwables. I expect the new one being similar in scope feature-wise. The right evolution of the game has to be at least a semi-open world with day-and-night cycles and a focus on stealth and exploration, like a real animal and nature photographer.

@adiwan The largest amount of gameplay time came from trying to find a Blockbuster with one of those proprietary printing booths. They should integrate it with Pokemon Go, lol. (Hey, I wonder if that Last Blockbuster Standing has one of the printers...?)
-
@scribus I saw a video about the last Blockbuster end of last year and I haven't noticed any Pokémon Snap photo printing stations.
