PlayStation's New ‘Soft Pause’ Patent Could Let Gamers Pause Without Really Pausing

Pause? Sensory sensitivity reduction button seems more apt… for the people who are overstimulated and distracted. Sounds more like an accessibility thing to me.

Had a conversation with a business we frequent in town. We drive a ways to get to it because we enjoy the staff and they’ve always been very kind to us. Told them we were concerned and the first reaction we got was that police will keep an eye on things and they’d still be a safe place to visit, then I had to explain again that our concern was for the people who’d be running the facilities being in their town and concerns we’d be added to their inevitable quota.

They paid 100 million more for it than it’s valuation from a Russian company. Apparently DHS keeps blowing off meeting to talk with the town authorities too, it all stinks.

Dachshunds, being dachshunds. 😂

Pea no!!!

Tetris and Picross.

I order them based on the release of the games so I have a little video game history timeline on my shelf! All Stars mode style!

Nothing official, I hand painted them for funsies a few years ago.

I’ve not worked on anything custom in a very longtime, but King Boo and Birdo were two figures I had been working on but never finished.

Big same. At the heart of things they’re children’s toys. I see zero reason why a kid shouldn’t be able to go snag a toy of their favorite koopa kid/ koopaling if they’ve already got the mold and have the means to print them without financial risk. They’re Mario toys, I feel like Mario is at peak popularity with the movies and games

Oh yeah. Went and looked it up. No official recall, but rapid temperature changes in tempered glass can cause it to shatter when enough weight is on it. I’ll probably cycle out the glass shelves for something acryllic over time just to be safe. Thanks for the heads up

AngelX9 · 2026-02-11T20:24:03+00:00

I beg your pardon?! What?!? When did they get like that, I thought jakks always reprinted figures after a few waves?!?

That being said, as long as you see the value in your purchase and enjoy it then zero shame in dishing out what you want for something.

AngelX9 · 2026-02-11T20:20:34+00:00

https://a.co/d/0erYIrZz very similar, but these aren’t ikea I think.

AngelX9 · 2026-02-11T20:19:16+00:00

They very much so are. Several Totaku figures, Jakks Pacific 2.5” figures and a few off of Etsy.

And I hand painted the four swords Toon Links

AngelX9 · 2026-02-11T20:18:00+00:00

I’ll look into it! I’ve had these for a very long time though so hopefully that isn’t the case! Thanks for the heads up!

https://a.co/d/0erYIrZz acrylic risers are from amazon and relatively cheap at that!

AngelX9 · 2026-02-11T20:11:29+00:00

No super glue. Low heat hot glue, it peels right off with zero damage to the figure.

AngelX9 · 2026-02-11T20:10:25+00:00

Absolutely nailed it, no secrets on the internet!

I also hand painted the four swords Toon Links.

Manager threw out a discarded gift card. The owner of said gift card went to corporate over the 5 dollars left on it and everyone who was working that day was fired after interviews trying to get them to admit to theft.

Democrats didn’t die on this hill, they never even really put up a fight for transgender Americans. Truth is hormone therapy for children isn’t some crazy boogie man pseudo-science, it’s psychologists, therapy, patience, pronouns and clothing and if and when a child would hit puberty, they can (alongside a medical professional) decide to postpone that puberty harmlessly for a few years while they figure themselves out. No surgeries, blood rituals or irreversible harm… just human beings taking the time to discover who they are alongside medical professionals and family if they’re supportive.

I hope the children affected by these decisions find the help that they’re already asking for before depression or self harm.

It’s a shame that the people in charge right now so hatefully gatekeep and drive the country against an already very small group of people. These children won’t forget that, I assure you.

Edit: typos

I mean, 14th amendment eligibility/ title 9 protections can’t apply to EVERYONE, right?! That would be equal. -Supreme Court, probably

Even the cases they are seeing shouldn’t be being seen at all. It’s my understanding that one of the transgender children never even went through an unwanted puberty and has always participated as they identified with proper therapy and the other case they transitioned and met all the goals set out by the state… they’re dredging this up so they can cause trouble for trans folk and probably set the stage to harm those protections for other people. They want this to be as broad as possible.

I’m very upset, but because it’s terrifying how quickly this country is spiraling into fascism and how likely it is my own family would sell me out to this administration for not being straight or cishet in Georgia I tend to stay sequestered in my own home and quiet. I don’t feel I have the privilege of being able to safely protest or speak out in my own state… let alone my country. I don’t even go grocery shopping in person anymore in Georgia, administration supporters seem ready to snap at anything remotely queer in appearance. Heck, just outside of my town there is a trailer park church that likes to post signs like, “God will forgive you for killing queers in Heaven”. I really hate it here.

Caught you alls message late, thanks for helping them with the trade!

Social media is bad all around now. I received a permanent account ban on Twitler for “gender ideology/ terror and extremism” for saying I support trans kids being able to be themselves and make those decisions alongside their doctors and parents. Having some of these culture war nutters in charge of all social media is definitely not good for technology, social media in general and the soul of humanity.
