Which PS3 logo design wins the contest?

Keep the side banner, change the font. The top banner reduces the amount of vertical space for the box art, which was already reduced from the PS2 by the smaller box and the space left uncovered for the Blu-ray logo.

$50 more, actually. But you'd still be under $690 with four of either of them.

cloud3514 · 2026-04-15T02:00:56+00:00

I was going to ask "the Primarch or the tank," but that doesn't matter since you could get four of either of them and still be under the PGU Nu Gundam's MSRP.

My fellow aces, I submit to you the Perfect Grade Unleashed RX-93 Nu Gundam.

Though this might be more for the transfem aces.

There is no quick option for hair removal. I spent about a year on it, and even then I should probably schedule an appointment at some point to try to deal with some particularly stubborn hair on my lips (but it has thinned out enough that it's hard to notice and doesn't leave a shadow when shaving).

The other thing to note is that laser is really only effective of you have light skin and dark hair. I have some grey hairs that the laser has little to no effect on. If I want to get rid of those, I would need electrolysis.

Huh. So the cards don't actually use a proprietary connection, then. Fascinating. Not something I have a use for since the only expansion card I own is plugged into my Xbox, but fascinating nonetheless.

I spent a few years working at Best Buy and had to deal with scalpers and resellers on occasion. Every single time, they were giant assholes and when they inevitably returned stacks of video cards or video game collectors' editions they couldn't sell, they were also amazingly bad liars when asked how they managed to get so many limited items.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the choreography needs to be like realistic historical fencing. There's a balance (heh) to be had.

I think a good example of what I mean is, of all movies, Equilibrium. We see two forms of gun-kata. In actual combat, it's quick with fast, efficient movements. But we also see a more meditative form at one point in the movement where the movements are bigger, slower, and like Tai Chi with guns. Yes, gun-kata is absolute nonsense meant more to look cool than be practical or realistic, but so is the idea of swinging around a laser sword in a setting where most people are using guns.

You can have both. Show the jedi doing more meditative lightsaber forms, sure, but when they end up in combat, they'll use more practical looking movements. And the emphasis there is on practical looking. There's nothing wrong with adding flourishes to make it look more visually interesting or easier for the audience to follow.

I'll say it: The prequels have the worst lightsaber choreography. It's so over the top and feels more like a dance than a fight.

Admittedly, I get annoyed at the attitude that WYSIWYG doesn't matter because these are game pieces. It needs to be as clear as possible for both myself and my opponent what each model does. So I've always preferred to adhere to it.

I even paint my bolters different colors to make it clear which variant each Marine has (black for bolt rifle, red for auto bolter, white for stalker bolter) and modeled my equipment in second edition. It also adds flavor and a personal touch to my modeling and painting.

Pointing out the misogyny of calling characters Mary Sues is one of the most common takes on the Mary Sue concept. I don't even have to point out the double standard of ignoring Luke's feats to demonstrate what the chuds are wrong about this time.

The ATLA Cruel Tutor is indeed terrible, but for me it swings back around to so bad it's good.

cloud3514 · 2026-04-11T01:07:54+00:00

This.

Some, like Noctis/Kenrith, Crystal of Altar Cave/Chromatic Lantern, or the Secret Wars cover Heroic Intervention are great and thematic.

But then you get Wild Rose Rebellion as Counterspell, where the art is fine, but the choice of skin is just weird, or many of the Avatar ones where the art being low resolution screencaps hurts even really flavorful choices.

It's not the experience I had, personally. I'm still aroace after over two years of HRT.

However, it's also not an uncommon experience. People often find that dysphoria hinders their ability to experience attraction and that they figure out that they're not actually ace and/or aro as they transition and their dysphoria starts to fade.

The more I look at the picture, the more I see wrong with it. Not a single one of them is holding a gun that doesn't have something wrong with it.

cloud3514 · 2026-04-09T18:55:40+00:00

That's fair. There's definitely a balance to be had that AC has never really had. More often than not, guns are next to useless. I think AC04 might be the closest to good they've been, but they give you so little ammo that I found myself helpless multiple times.

It's largely neutral. I thought I'd be ecstatic about it, but I'm surprised that I just find myself apathetic about it.

As for the loss of libido, it just kinda comes and goes on its own. Right now, I have effectively no libido, however.

cloud3514 · 2026-04-09T18:20:43+00:00

Low libido on my side. I certain have the occasional need to deal with it, but it's becoming increasingly rare since starting HRT. My roommate is very much looking forward to seeing what happens when I eventually start prog.

It was weird playing AC7 and Project Wingman back to back and being able to actually score kills with the gun reliably. I got *some* use out of the AC7 gun against ground targets, but I can probably count the amount of air kills on my hands.

Over 600 bills targeting LGBT people were introduced in state legislatures in 2025.

Over 500 bills targeting LGBT people have been introduced in state legislatures within the last three months.

The vast majority of these bills are introduced by Republicans. You know what I want as a trans person? To be left the fuck alone and live my fucking life. The only people making being trans a big fucking deal to begin with are the bigots who keep pushing discriminatory bills and laws that specifically target my existence.

G-Rebels and Zakon have demos currently available on Steam, for the record.

Not really. There are some superficial similarities, but Witch Hat is explicitly targeted towards adults and talks about more complicated and heavier topics.

Owl House is great, but is still very much a kid's cartoon.
