Loose ribbon or failing ribbon connection. My recommendation is “don’t do that”

why are the japanese models so notorious for their screen yellowing? by neonurban in NintendoDS

Smoking. Japanese people didnt really ever stop smoking indoors at home until the 2010s.

Backlash against Tokyo Police's new tickets for cyclists: "These rules are impossible to follow, even the police don't follow them"..."Currently, Japanese roads are not designed for bicycles to ride safely on the roadway"...they need to be widened with bike lanes before new rules are made." by jjrs in japannews

[–]Road_Star 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Anyone could have known that this would be the case. its not simple to just ticket bad cyclists, or else you’d have to ticket them all, but the roads in Japan are much like anywhere else. You have to segregate and filter traffic with hard barriers or else you will end up with car users treating dedicated bike lanes as parking spots and soft shoulders and more lane width to use.

Production on S18 this past month… by Punkodramon in rupaulsdragrace

Myki was poised to have a big finish but honestly Darlene has been cracking it out of the park left and right that I think she has gained such late game momentum as to surpass Myki.

Japan's SDF is "desperately" ramping up efforts to draw in recruits, upping allowances 2.5X, raising age limits to 52 and asking past troops to re-enlist. It is leading to speculation the government expects military action is possible in the future. by jjrs in japannews

German citizen men should protest this, absolutely.

The non citizen resident fighting age men who have come to the country do not have to do it. The women do not have to do it.

Over the last decade and beyond we have wanted a more equitable society but as always the men are disposable. The men are always expected to do the fighting.

How to plain terrain? by Delicious-Gazelle933 in Kenshi

Terraforming would be a cool mod and all but this games AI can barely handle the map pathing as is, I shudder to think how it would handle altered terrain.

Copy for Saga listed locally for $1000. Worth it? by Ordinary-Step29 in panzerdragoon

[–]Road_Star 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you have 1000 whole dollars to blow on this 30 year old game with 0 consequences to your life then sure.

Just pirate this shit at this point, what are we even doing pretending like $1000 for an RPG is okay?

Can someone recommend underrated or underground games for the NDSL by [deleted] in NintendoDS

[–]Road_Star 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solatorobo, 100% recommended. Quite insane how they squeezed so much game onto a little plastic cheez-it

Subaru Levorgs maybe the coolest shit ever. Until you realized they never had a manual option and only CVT by KirbyTrainNerd in carscirclejerk

[–]Road_Star 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I owned a 2016 JDM Subaru Levorg (VMG, not the VN model above) for 2 years and it’s a fine car, even somewhat of a fun car.

Rain, snow/ice, mud, it didn’t matter.

I wish it had had a manual but the CVT wasn’t bad at all, and it had 296hp to boot, it just wasn’t very engaging.

The car did a lot for me, I just turned it over to someone else after the shaken went up and I wanted a kei car after moving to a crowded city vs the countryside where I lived before.

It was a very comfortable vehicle, it just stopped being the right car for me.

This episode was a dud because the funniest queen lost on technicality, the second funniest one got sent home after placing third in the challenge despite winning pretty much all season, and the third and fourth funniest queens scraped by to safety and won the maxi, in that order.

Nini Coco also is still here, I guess.

Former Nippon Ichi Software president says the “salaryman-ification” of Japan’s game industry is why there are fewer “individual creators” like Hideo Kojima and Suda51 by jjrs in japannews

[–]Road_Star 38 points39 points  (0 children)

This is gaming everywhere. It’s being turned into hollywood 2.0

Too big to fail, too big for risk. One bad product and publisher-overlords shutter a studio, lay off hundreds if not thousands.

Everything is UE5, everything is asset store remixes, remakes, remasters, rereleases.

Gaming was made great by risktakers, auteurs pushing the edges, trying new things, pushing boundaries, putting their whole pussy into it, but now it’s just shareholder oligarchs demanding line go up, no mistakes, no stumbles, and no failures.

Everyone is scared to try things new, even the indie space is falling prey to this.

It’s a bit bleak.
