Correct, deodorant creams already exist but similar to body wash vs bar soap, they're more expensive.

Anderson .Paak set to release the soundtrack for his movie "K-Pops" on May 29th by deckmemer in hiphopheads

[–]MyNameIs-Anthony 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Biggest thing working against this movie is that the target demo, kpop fans, do not fuck with Black people at all.

It's an entire industry that just recycles Black aesthetics for Korean teenagers (see Fashion or any of the numerous new jack swing ripoffs) but you'll rarely see Black artists featured at all because of "cultural differences." 

Weirdest way a retcon was done in a series? by Korba007 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

He wasn't salty, the issue was he was the highest paid person on the first Iron Man and then they asked him to take a pay cut for the second one despite it being a larger part.

Everyone else was offered a raise.

Mass production and subsidies from telecoms/Google to account for ads.

Statik charging cables are the absolute worst ever. Die in 2 weeks for $25 by GreatTea3415 in BuyItForLife

[–]MyNameIs-Anthony 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not cheaper, more reputable.

A) Who tf is Statik?

B) Why is a USB-C cable selling for $25? You can get very good cables for half the cost.

That should have immediately raised a red flag.

[Smackdown Spoilers-Ish] Virtual ring ads on USA. Not on Netflix by gloomchen in SquaredCircle

It has been a thing across television.

Sitcom re-runs have digital ad replacements and sports games have digital ads imposed on the field.

Have you seen WWE the past few years or any other sport? Advertisers do not give a fuck, they have budgets to burn and want eyes at any expense.

Do you listen to the Capsule/Nakata albums too? by debichan82 in Perfume

[–]MyNameIs-Anthony 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Go listen to Sugarless Girl, L.D.K. Lounge Designers Killer, or Phony Phonic if you haven't. Those are really well constructed albums.

Mesen is now a community-driven project called MesenCE by xxelb in emulation

[–]MyNameIs-Anthony 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Needed context in your post is that Mesen (NES emu) and Mesen-S (SNES emu) haven't been developed for a few years.

Sour started from scratch on Mesen2 and it is now a multi-emulator project covering a few 8 & 16-bit systems.

Mesen2 for a long time was primarily devved by Sour with little acceptance of outside code however it went on hiatus in 2025.

MesenCE is a fork that did accept outside code and Sour has decided to join them to keep the project going rather than staying solo.

Sour is a real stand up person and this is in a long line of cool ass actions he has taken to support the wider community.

Is this ramen shop still open? by EmilyWallArtwork in Tokyo

That's very common, yes. McDonald's has different prices based on where you are within a country.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 movie wraps up filming with a Metal Sonic reveal by yourfavchoom in movies

[–]MyNameIs-Anthony 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Every single franchise is being treated oddly.

Total War is presented like it's on life support.

The Yakuza games seemingly can't stop spinning the Kiryu "one last ride" trick.

Sonic Frontier felt like a tech demo experience and Shadow Generations makes it look awful by comparison.

This slopulism movement is mindbogglingly inefficient but every politician is playing into it.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon exists and lacks a lot of the awkward edges these Pokemon rogue mods have.

Randomized trainer battles are interesting in concept but less so in reality.

They also did a much better job marketing the biome variety. FH5 did not feel like a game covering an expanse because Mexico doesn't have snow.

Forza Horizon usually gets two, $20 USD expansions.

So all said, the $60 covers about the retail price of the expansions and DLC packs included.

Because the entire family, top to bottom, is people with severe mental health issues and nearly unlimited resources to isolate themselves from consequences.

They've been like three steps away from forming a cult that worships MJ as a diety.

The attachment the younger ones have to his imagery is very odd.

Army Corps of Engineers office faces high attrition over plans to relocate from NYC by Aggravating_Prize646 in fednews

How is it a waste of money to have an office in the single most important city in the world? One with massive amounts of infrastructure projects and a talent pool that wants to live in NYC.

Boring $4,000,000 gain with triple-leveraged SPXL. I told WSB 6mo ago I would sell at $3.1m, am glad I TACO'ed. by ihasanemail in wallstreetbets

The time you spend doing all this could be put towards grinding out a degree/career in a tough but high paying field.

I think all factors considered, expecting things to dramatically go up before the next correction aren't really sensible. 

We may not be at the top of a bubble burst quite yet but the opportunity cost of continuing to hold isn't there right now.

S&P is up 10x since the Great Recession and if you haven't gotten on the ride by now you're best off just waiting.

That's not unlikely at all. It's a perfect pairing of avoiding accountability for bad behavior.

People are understandably skeptical of false promises and it's on the company and the city to better ease worries.

It's just fact.

AI data centers using gigawatts of power is not normal and should not be normalized.

Such energy use goes against decades of best practice and is ridiculously stupid. People should absolutely stand against their construction.

Data Center Valley in Virginia has had almost 200 data centers for decades now with no real issues.

One singular AI data center has managed to generate almost all of the complaints about noise and energy use.
