next time something like NFTs drops that could make me a ton of money but is ethically unsound, could somebody please let me know before you tell everyone else so that I can get in early and when the whole thing explodes I can be like “damn they hired death squads in WHICH developing nation? Oh man I didn’t know my bad dude” and run off with the money while publicly taking a stand against whatever terrible thing I’ve been complicit in

@adiwan I'm always torn between actually having a conscience and wondering if it's already too late until it actually is too late
-
@scribus Yeah. I think the same of the stock exchange. It's a huge and legal gambling machine.

@adiwan See, that's why I just goto Vegas. They're honest about fleecing you, and sometimes you get a free buffet!!

*by overworld, I of course mean Hyrule. The area you spend the first bit of the game in is also an overworld.

I think I wait a little bit before I buy Tears of the Kingdom. As I've heard the physical launch version has some performance issues. I rather wait so the physical I buy contains the day 1 patch.

One could assume that Amazon, as a business that started with selling books, should know how to handle books for delivery, so they don't get smushed, bent, creased, dented, or scratched. I was ordering RPG books and almost every time I had to send back damaged books for replacement. Soft cover, hard cover. Both were affected by bad handling and packaging.

Ooof... The new Youtube redesign of the browser-side interface is awful.
I wanted to read some comments and scrolled down but it was greeted with more video recommendations. The comments were like on mobile tablet where they popped up on the side upon clicking a special button to reveal comments. I saw this redesign only once. Apparently it was very temporary as I haven't seen it since. I'm not very hopeful it will stay that way.Tuesday, 02-May-23 08:18:17 UTC from web -

I'm somewhat frugal with my expenses but on the other hand I just spent a good chunk for D&D supplement books (Tome of Beasts 1 - 3 by Kobold Press) on a whim.

Heard that Bud Light made some 'phobes angry, so I bought a 12-pack

@scribus People who think they value freedom of speech actually hate the freedom of speech of others.
-
@scribus no vandalism at my store yet but it’s coming I think, a group of Trumpers came in last week and stole literally every newspaper reporting on his arrest so they could trash it before anyone could read it so I’m expecting those same guys to try some apple with the Bud Light too
-
@scribus The masterminds at Budweiser came up with the perfect evil plan: if you don't buy it you're a somethingphobe, if you buy it you have to drink Bud Light. With this masterful move, they can cause suffering to all peoples of the nation.

I'm increasingly annoyed by the suggestions from Intellicode in Visual Studio. My company nagged me to install Visual Studio Enterprise. Before I used the Community edition (with a proper License). Intellicode *sometimes* it does get what I want to write but more times than not it is interrupting my flow. I'm gonna disable it next time I start Visual Studio. I just need basic auto-completion and navigation of an object's fields, properties, and methods.

It's getting too warm now. It's time to put my electric blanket off my office chair. I used it in the cold days to heat up my back in order to lessen my back pain and keep me warm.

Horror monster idea: A tooth fairy but instead of taking the fallen-off tooth from under the pillow, the fairy pulls a good tooth out of the mouth while the victim is sleeping and leaves a delayed extreme pain when the victim wakes up.

I just checked my seldom used other bank account from when I was in college and learned I just had around $500 sitting in there, which isn’t much, but damn, that’s $500 I didn’t know I had

Just completed Yakuza Like A Dragon. It took me 58.5 hours. Most of the time was spent grinding for overcoming three major road blocks as the difficulty spiked. Also it took many, many attempts at overcoming them. The enemies hit REALLY, REALLY HAAARD and are damage sponges the world has never seen. I was never overleveled, maybe a little under-leveled. Along the whole playthrough I never felt, except for the few spikes, I had to grind. I grinded a little bit the business mini-game as it was a good money income in order to purchase better gear but I didn't mind that much as I wanted to complete it anyway.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon - 40 hours in and I'm at chapter 11.
Monday, 10-Apr-23 20:36:25 UTC from web-
@scribus 15 Chapter. The length of a chapter is rather uneven. The later chapters in a yakuza game are longer when trying to get most of the sidestories. I expect it to take 15 hours to finish.

You could probably show Fritz the Cat on MTV today

@scribus I spent a little longer than I should have wondering what exactly is on MTV these days, both Beavis & Butt-Head and the Daria spin-off are on Paramount+, South Park only airs premieres on MTV, and the “M” in “MTV” hasn’t stood for music in a very long time

YouTuber got shot in the mall down the street. Prank channel, so, 100% deserved.

@zeldatra Not the jackass who thinks it's top kek to make a bunch of noise in a college library, I hope. I wanted to pin him in a corner and give him 10,000 punches!
-
@scribus Tanner Cook, apparently the subject of the prank whipped out a gun and shot him in the stomach, then the sheriff came and arrested them both. Since he didn’t die, I think I’m perfectly fine to say that I hope this incident causes these dudes to think twice about it from now on
-
@zeldatra Except that this is the first I'm hearing his name, sure hope nobody else tries to stage a shooting prank to boost their career of evil

Aaaand.... Yakuza 6 is done. 35 hours. It was fun but the fights were like in Kiwami 2. They were quite ragdoll-y and a lot more physics influenced. Not a fan of that. Also it sucks that the heat actions weren't that reliable as in the other installments.

In case anyone is wondering: I learned this over the course of a nearly 24 hour shift.

@scribus I'm really hoping they get the funding for a proper series/movie, the "aesthetically pleasant, good for all ages funny animal cartoon" genre needs a revival.
-
@nerthos For real, dude. It's been too long since G and PG meant anything other than "little kids" and "bigger kids," Brandon Tenold does a great takedown of 70's PG vs Today in his video on Ralph Bakshi's "Wizards."

@scribus Huh, bit spicy in price but the repairability and warranty seem quite nice. Can't get any details on what type of screen it has from its datasheet tho.

OMG. I'm 60 hours in Yakuza 5 and still not in the last chapter.

Also the Yakuza games are basically the Die Hard of the video games: Taking place around Christmas but only give nods to it on the side.

Yakuza 5 is too damn long. I recently finished the part with Haruka and Akiyama. They were character #3 and #4, and yet there is another one and still far from reaching the end. Each part is as long as a full game with all the sidestory stuff.

Rand Paul is complaining about "woke" schools that are now disallowing kids from wearing shirts with firearms on them. Maybe this is just because I was part of the first generation to attend school after Columbine, but it seems to me if Republicans think that this is suddenly a thing that is happening right just now they need to get their eyes checked, because I remember growing up in Florida and being told any gun-related clothing would get my ass expelled.

Oh boy. Steam sales. Bought for myself Yakuza 6 and Like a Dragon (7). Gonna finish all of the games eventually. Judgment and Lost Judgment is still a bit on the pricier side and buy them when they are dirt cheap. For Like a Dragon: Ishin! my PC barely scrapes over the min specs and the game is too new.
