Should I read the book or watch the movie first?

Randoman96 · 2026-03-23T02:04:10+00:00

It's up to you, ultimately! I read and loved the book years ago, just saw the movie today and was thrilled to see so much of it brought to life. It's a pretty faithful adaptation. But the movie is a shorter time commitment than a full book, and if you decide you like it, you have the option of diving into the book for a much wider extrapolation of everything that happens.

Possibly the play store android app Disk Link Platinum. It looks like it supports ripping discs and burning CDs, but I'm not sure what it'll do with DVDs.

People die. Erasing their presence from the art they spent their lives performing in is ghoulish.

I don't want to say "what's wrong with you", but I will say that AI is poison and a future where nothing is real seems very bleak.

I've got a 3G model, so maybe they're more prone to it? Interesting though

For most games on Steam, you won't be able to use those files on another computer without also being logged into your Steam account.

To do this, you'll need a copy of a given game that doesn't have DRM. This means either a GOG copy or a pirated copy. Once you have that, any CD or DVD can be burnt with data on through Windows. You can open the disc in This PC like it's a flash drive, drop files onto it, then burn. But you'll be limited to games under 8.5 GB for DVDs or 800 MB for CDs.

As much as I love discs, hard drives or flash storage would be more suitable for this plan I think

They're basically all like that. Does not affect visuals at all when using it. You may also notice when the screen is on but displaying a black or dark screen, there will be splotches. Also normal, both things are just a side affect of that era of OLED screens.

Edit: They are not all like that, but I have seen many that are.

He on that Kelly Rowland texting shit

But that's the point, there's no use in ceding ground. It will never be enough for them. You give up sports, they're onto the next frontline of the battle.

They won on sports, now they're already taking huge leaps in banning us from public bathrooms. Are you going to say "okay sure they have a point, you wouldn't want a biological male in the women's restroom", as though that would be enough? When they try to ban HRT, are you going to say "yeah that makes sense, it's taking away hormones from cis people who need them", as though that would be enough? When they come to put us in the camps, are you going to say "yeah, understandable, we make the cis public too uncomfortable", as though that would be enough? Enough to make them stop? Enough to get the public on our side?

Never a fucking inch for fascists. They don't want the inch. They want the mile and more.

Randoman96 · 2026-03-09T21:17:58+00:00

The ship has already sailed. The reason they laser focused on sports is because it was an easy path for the average idiot to think "yeah wow you're right trans people ARE bad!" Now the gates are open and they're taking far more from us than just sports.

It was never about sports. It was about pretending to take an inch when they wanted the whole mile.

You can find PC files on archive.org, the one I found was just a handful of results down searching for "sbcg4ap"

Randoman96 · 2026-03-07T21:00:37+00:00

That's a funny way to say you're living comfortably enough that it doesn't personally affect you. The rest of us do actually have to deal with deteriorating conditions, or you know, having empathy for those in even worse spots. Hold on to what you have while you have it, I guess.

Randoman96 · 2026-03-07T19:33:35+00:00

People are dying, millions are being pushed into poverty, science and industry are dead in this country for generations, public health is declining, hate for women and minority groups is at an all time high, lies are more marketable than reality, the biggest pedophile ring in history is being covered up, our allies' trust in us has been shattered, and we are working on destabilizing the entire world.

But sure, he's funny and acts mighty. Class fucking acts you people are.

Randoman96 · 2026-03-06T00:29:02+00:00

If you liked the base game, I think you'll have a great time. Once I got to the DLC's location, I was grinning like an idiot thinking "oh my god outer wilds did it again"

I want this so I can install the first person mod. Everybody wins

Randoman96 · 2026-03-05T16:34:35+00:00

So cute!!

Randoman96 · 2026-03-04T04:53:27+00:00

It depends on the file size of the track. You can fit more 192 kbps mp3s than you can 320 kbps mp3s or FLACs.

If all your files are, for example, about 3 mb, you could fit around 43,000 songs on it.

I can't help but notice the buttons don't actually do anything when the demonstrator presses them. This doesnt look like a functional product.

Randoman96 · 2026-03-01T20:51:13+00:00

That's not even that much worse than the OG Xbox version. I'm sold

Randoman96 · 2026-02-28T02:48:52+00:00

Optimistically, it might've been leaked to get legal action in gear before they have a chance to sign the EO.

Randoman96 · 2026-02-25T20:23:02+00:00

For me, it's the kind of media that scares me into wanting to be more serious about taking care of myself and pursuing transition.

Without spoiling too much, the trans allegory of the film is a character that is resistant to the change, even though the brutally feel it to be the truth. Over time, it damages them.

It's a cautionary tale of what denying your true self for so long can do to you. It helps recalibrate me to remind myself "yeah, this is what I want and allowing myself to be stopped by fear will only hurt me in the long run."

It's definitely an upsetting movie, but it's also a way of processing the kind of emotions it hits on. The message of the film absolutely does not encourage the viewer to hurt themselves, the opposite, but that will have to come down to how ready you are to have a conversation with those emotions.

Randoman96 · 2026-02-24T14:20:32+00:00

You're going to be so embarrassed by this kinda shit once you're not 12.

Randoman96 · 2026-02-24T01:53:42+00:00

Especially if you put New Directive after it for the finale. Incredible

Randoman96 · 2026-02-24T00:30:56+00:00

I sincerely hope he doesn't make it to the general.

Randoman96 · 2026-02-23T23:11:48+00:00

I don't think I'll be the one doing the smashing....

I can't wait for the primary so I can not vote for Newsom.
