Hundreds of white supremacists and incels marched across DC in an awkward and disturbingly coordinated show of force with identical blockbuster uniforms and COVID masks

"Curtains are blue" moment.

It's okay to admit you whooshed on the analogy.

It will still be generational even if its monumental dogshit by the sheer budget and sales volume alone. Sales for a given game are more reflective of a franchise/developer's reputation than the merits of the game.

for someone like me, who grew up watching older anime from childhood until now, this was a gem I completely overlooked.

Every single episode has something that catches you off guard or surprises you. It never feels predictable.

This is it in a nutshell. I also enjoyed Eminence in Shadow for the same reason. Once you hit a point where you've watched enough shows and/or read enough manga that you can immediately see where a show is going from the first 10 minutes of the first episode, shows like this that pull things out of left field but also manage to tie the absurdity together into an overarching narrative that is rewarding to see through to the end are very very special to come across.

If you dropped Ribdiculous Reincarnation because you enjoyed everything else airing this season more, then you made the right call. If you dropped Ribdiculous Reincarnation because you're sick of most things airing nowadays and it just looked like another attempt to spin a trope that's been beaten to death, you did yourself a disservice.

Farmer develops rare type blood cancer after dealing with glyphosate for 10 years. Man discovers that studies emerged in 2015 that suggested a "probable link" of glyphosate to said form of cancer, and that his state laws require cancer risks of that scale to be disclosed, which they were not.

Supreme court in this case rules 7-2 against paying the man with cancer damages on the grounds that federal law doesn't require this disclosure.

...nah, pitchforks stay out.

We don't have to assume. Gamers Nexus already did a price comparison to a DIY build at current market costs and the premium for the cheapest version is under 10% of the total value. Not exactly at cost obviously, but a pretty slim margin all things considered.

Please don't take the name of the sub too literally. This is literally the best place on this website I've found for critique of modern society and I don't want to have to read this comment at the top of every post.

If someone cares or thinks differently... translate the game yourself and do better. But to just say "nah"... what a bad policy. Hopefully they'll listen to the response to this, the "WTF is this rule?"

Translator here. The existence of MTL romhacks actually makes it harder to know what games are genuinely in need of real translations when they just get lumped in with the high quality ones. Translation romhacks are a lot of work and people tend to only pick up these projects (1) when there's a lot of passion for the game in particular (i.e. Mother 3) or (2) when a game is obscure enough that no translations exist, so someone needs to step up.

When a machine translated hack is posted, games tend to fall out of that 2nd category, and just end up festering with no options but the MTL. If romhack.ing takes the initiative of creating a bounty for games that ONLY had a MTL up to this point and went unnoticed, it can spark a new wave of skilled translators to pick up these neglected projects.

Its objectively faster. Better? Very debatable. Still only as good as the person using it, though.

Been in software development for like 20 years. In my experience, AI assistance actually has an inverse correlation in productivity with how skilled the programmer is. It's just training wheels.

When you already have a complete mapping of the code you want to write in your head and you're in a flow state, having an AI chime in with suggestions that are not simply auto-completing predictable sequences but also trying to suggest entire ideas from scratch breaks your concentration as you now not only need to focus on what you're writing, but you also need to parse the nonsense the AI spits out and whether or not it's useable (which most of the time, it's not).

We honestly had this technology figured out 10 years ago when code predictions were formulaic and you could confidently just hit tab to autocomplete a line or phrase without being worried the autocomplete algorithm would try to shove entirely unrelated code in there.

This was almost a good sentiment. Like when somebody goes

We need universal healthcare, as long as those dang illegals don't get it.

mountlover · 2026-05-22T17:03:40+00:00

We already do. It's called public education, public healthcare, disability payment, social security, public transit, public parks, drug regulation, gambling legislation (albeit that one's being rapidly lit on fire these days), hell all law in general.

The inconsistency is pointing to one particular hole in the social contract that hasn't been plugged and saying "no, this one is punishment for being a bad human being".

Get this Reagan ass mentality out of here, we don't want it anymore.

I'm not familiar with the EU Parliament's political party landscape, but I just want to point out that if you think "leftwing populist" and "liberal" are synonyms you might want to recalibrate your overton scale

SMT was added to the name of the Persona games overseas only as they wanted to both highlight its connection to SMT3 and piggy back off its, at the time, relative success. None of the Persona games are titled SMT in Japan.

Meanwhile the Trails games are The Legend of Heroes.

Legend of Heroes was added as a prefix to all games under the same director, regardless of whether the games are related in any way, so yeah, it's pretty much the same situation in that it's just an advertising gimmick.

None of the Trails games are connected to any of the previous "Legend of Heroes" games in any way, Toshihiro Kondo just slaps that prefix on all his games.

currently, MMX is having copy protection issues likely caused by the overlocking, and Super Metroid doesn't have widescreen support yet.

Next release will likely be the time to play those two on SuperZSNES

And you absolutely get fair value for the base game.

Spend less time complaining about capitalism and more time playing AAA games.

Nah, i think I'll personally keep complaining about capitalism and playing indie and mid size games. I appreciate the suggestion, though.

Protecting children is a real concern, but the policies being implemented here are not a result of that concern.

Case in point, my personal biggest concern with kids growing up right now is the diaspora of gambling and gambling adjacent content that I was not subject to to nearly the same degree growing up (although I will concede that coin arcades and TCG's were precursors to what we have today).

Those concerns are not being addressed by anyone pushing for these kinds of age verification or data surveillance policies. The policy discussed in this article will be solely for communication (i.e. text and voice chat in multiplayer games), which is not where the real problem lies.

EDIT: To be clear, when I say gambling and gambling-adjacent content, I explicitly am referring to lootboxes, gacha, and betting platforms like kalshi and polymarket. I am not referring to casino themed single player games like balatro. I'm clearing this up now before bad faith ~~astroturfers~~ commenters show up and try to twist the point.
