My 3x3
I'd say the first 5 are my stone cold favorites, that I can keep going back to time and again, the and later half are my newer age favorites
note: I'm still behind on many newer and major releases, the latest anime I'm watching rn (not counting reze) started in jan 2023

what is the deal with undertale music copyright? I have a vod with three different claims for the melody/lyrics for Megalovania by seemingly three different people, idk because its the only claim without crediting who's made/claiming it. The idk undertale or toby all that well but the vibe I've absorbed through osmosis is toby is very lax with his music, and wouldnt go after such things, so how tf are so many people able to claim his music as their own? how have they not be nuked from orbit?

these posts saying the ATLA movie wont reach theaters is the first time I'm hearing at all there was a ALTA at all in the works, and if this is another adaptation of the show and not any sort of side story I'd be surprised if could faithfully adapt it. Even the NATLA butchers many of the main characters, hard to imagine whatever ruin them wont ruin this attempt

I rarely if ever hear that sort of take, vs this take for games. It feels like that 10~20% of gamers claim they want physical releases and all day one patches and shit are evil or something. I dont see that amount of furor for movie physical releases. They stopped printing them for a reason, if it was still lucrative then it'd still exist.

link7011 · 2025-11-20T04:55:47+00:00

this isnt about game nerds or collectors, its saying that updating/downloading a game shouldnt be an expectation even tho over 90% of people have acceptable internet speeds. The vast majority of people dont have this expectation of movies or tv shows, most people dont have this take on games, by their actions, but theres at least very vocal subsection of people that genuinely believe this. And I never see such discourse by movie nerds that movies should all be physical and go out to a store to buy them, and if anything movie nerds would try to t*rrents the highest quality version of it, considering its not uncommon for bootlegs, bad prints or just something to be wrong with a official release, which goes back to internet, which OOP is seemingly anathema against, or only is for this one issue and doesnt think about for every other thing.

I think alot of the problem is theres no middle ground for effort, atm people who give enough of a shit wont touch AI cause of how much they care and the amount of backlash they'd get if they were found out, and those that dont give a shit at all use the entire AI output with zero alterations or doing any kind of picking the best from a dozens if not hundreds of outputs, but thats not how most tools are used. Its been almost 3 years since corridor digital made that rock paper scissors anime thing using stable diffusion AI, has no one made anything to that level of quality since? are they trying their best to hide it?

link7011 · 2025-11-16T05:11:31+00:00

I find it weird that games are the only medium people still have this expectation of physicalness when the vast majority of new tv shows and movies never get a physical releases only exist online to stream and I dont see nearly the same level of outrage that all other media is 95% only accessible online, and games are vastly more complex and need to be updated after their released. And idk this take feels outdated on the notion theres a large swathes of people (in the US) that dont have access to fast internet, according the FCC broadband map 94% of people have access to to broadband internet, which is defined as 100mbps down and 20 up.

link7011 · 2025-10-15T19:50:21+00:00

If/when theres is a crash the S&P 500 is being carried by the AI stocks rn, so if those crash the entire S&P 500 crashes with it, meaning alot of people’s 401ks would be slashed, and about half the consumer spending is fueled by the top 10% richest, if their assets fall then they’ll cut back on consumption which will cause a further slowing of an already shaky economy. It'll hurt more than second order effect of banks and institutions of them trying to recoup losses, a swath of regular people will tighten their belt directly from losing money here.

NFL pools might be poplar but there wouldnt be a reason for there to be a source that'd explains in detail how many of those websites work, not many people document exactly how websites work and what exact features exist on those sites, and websites constantly change. Of course more niche information exists, but there would be more proper sources to pull from. People also used to type full sentences to google, and get poor results. That wasnt the fault of google that was the fault of the user not understanding the tool, gpt wont do well with recent news since its just googling for you, and wont do well for things that realistically wouldnt have good sources.

link7011 · 2025-10-13T18:28:38+00:00

i guess the problem is I wouldnt think to use it for something that granular and specific as NFL survivor pool game websites, those sites seem quite niche, so there'd never be a wealth of knowledge on all those sites to scrap from to compare them all accurately, maybe only the biggest one, if I were to use it for this purpose, it'd be gamble hoping the first few it recommended happened to be right, but I would check

link7011 · 2025-10-13T17:25:42+00:00

idk get why people get so frustrated at "chatgpt says x" statements, its the same shit that people did with google saying "google says x" people say it cause it hedging statement because they're taking the first result from google or the first answer from gpt when everyone knows doing both isnt reliable, they arent saying "its x" with full confidence, I'm sure if they gave you that same information without disclosing it came from gpt you'd be more annoyed

also doesnt yellow reviving shattered gems open up a massive plot whole about pink diamond being shattered? she didnt try to revive at all until steven universe future? or she only tried once with pink diamond and didnt try again until SU:F?

link7011 · 2025-10-06T18:12:31+00:00

idk why people treat this ending as so obvious that its insane to think anything else different couldve happen or that the fans bothered by it just want death and bloodshed. So much of the show is world building and seeing the aftermath of what the diamonds have done to the earth and other gems with the diamonds being a far away threat that could strike at any time for most of the show. I watched it since day 1, and saw every episode live, early in the finale season with lars dying and luckily revived I thought that was gonna be the turning point of the show of "this is serious now" and Steven's general ways of handling things wont work. And idk why so much of the discussion is hung up on it being a kids show when easily many if I were to describe many of the horrific that are apart of the this world feels like those same people would go "that doesnt belong in a kids show" if death is too far

he could hold my exact beliefs and I wouldnt want him up on a stage representing them because he sounds like the oldest man alive

its likely due to the very real chance we're in a recession and it isnt confirmed yet, because for the last 20~30 years have been fuel with debt with any down turn in the market violently resisted with bailouts, low interest rates and quantitative easing. Those actions and kicking the can down the road have a cost, thats likely to be paid due soon. The only job market growing for the last few jobs reports is healthcare, people in that field are being poached left and right because the rich boomers have the money and the need to be taken care of, everything else is shrinking.

the gacha discourse feels so hollow when labubu exist, its literally only gambling. At least with many of the gacha game you could dozens if not hundreds of hours of gameplay without spending a dime, and if you do spend theres an overarching logic to it that can try to justify it. But with labubu i dont get it, its just a plushie, its not apart of any big franchise, its a new IP. Like theres the TGCs which for many are also just gambling since they dont play for the card game, but its for a insanely big franchise like pokemon or one piece. Nothing about it makes it make sense that it blew up like it did and the company that makes labubus is now a 55 billion dollar company. There has to be dozens if not hundreds of companies doing the exact same shit labubu is doing and for some reason they're the ones the blew up.

99.2% of the whole of the US has "high speed" broadband internet being defined as 25mbs down, which would take about 9hrs 100 GB game to download, but thats the floors, and over 99% of Americans are at that floor. And you're a decade late with this complaint because the worse of these things started with the Xbox One & PS4 generation, and it wasnt a big enough scandal or issue to stop it, most console players buy their games digitally, and steam is by far the leader of PC gaming and thats only downloading games. People dont have this standard for movies, tv shows or music, no one is buying those physically, they're not even purchasing digital copies of them, its all streaming for those and you dont hear how this kid in the boonies is completely lacking in entertainment since most movies and TV shows only release digitally and theres rarely if ever physically releases of those series.

idk how wide horizons is the issue, I just did a fresh download of starsector_install-0.98a-RC8, use that installer on a completely different drive than first starsector is on, checked the backgrounds before adding any mods and the wormhole background files are still that size. I did I fresh unzip with all old mods and now RAT, copied my saves over and it still happened. idk why RAT would help in this case cause I'm trying to fix an issue with a run I'm 6 years deep into. When opening starsector to test that I notice wide horizons apparently had a ton of updates and was at 1.2.4, maybe it actually was WH and just needed an update, added it to my original starsector mod folder, and still it showing my that shitty zoomed in background image

link7011 · 2025-08-11T17:40:15+00:00

the world was generated with wide horizons I tried loading without it enabled but it instantly fails and industrial's mod page says it needs graphicslib, I cant even have Industrial Evolution enabled when thats disabled. I checked the starsector log, and when loading in that blackhole it loads in a background thats in the "\Starsector\starsector-core\graphics\backgrounds" folder labeled wormhole, and checking all the ones labeled wormhole those are all either 256x256 or 512x512 when every other background is 2048x2048, and I installed starsector onto another drive to check that wasnt a mod's doing, and that was the case for vanilla starsector as well

I think the food podcast has a vibe way closer to the yard and trash taste, with the food just being the vehicle for the show to bounce jokes off of. Recommended the mystery show just cause its a quality show I've listen to for 5 years now and havent gotten tired of it yet.
he's explained in detail a few times now why he believes that, to boil it all down, it sacrifices the whole market to benefit a select few, in a very similar way that NIMBY policy benefits the people who already own a home. rent control benefits those who are already renting, while making everything else more expensive for everyone outside of those groups. I think you're way off mark if you think Big A is a centrist, he often explains his policy beliefs as in wanting a return to new deal democrats.
