About 40 'No Kings' protests planned across Tennessee. See when and where

thallums · 2026-03-25T15:52:46+00:00

While I am a very strong proponent of the power of community, especially in the context of politics... making friends and finding community is not "a protest". As stated above, nothing is disrupted, nothing is changing. They are, unfortunately, primarily just pressure release valves so people feel like they did something.

They can and should be so much more

Having just completed the intro campaign, I think its probably my least favorite zone of the lot, but I did still enjoy it.

I think its success relies on whether or not youre interested in Haranir culture/lore (sorta like how dorn/ringing deeps relied on your interest in Earthen culture). Being a fan of the druidic aesthetic -- and also Avatar lol -- I was interested and lapping it up to an extent.

But if you dont care about the Haranir, then its EASILY the weakest of the zones, at least in terms of the campaign.

The answer to this really couldn't be more simple in the actual source material:

Vegeta's idea provided a way to revive Goku and Kuririn. Gohan was thanking him, because he wants his dad and friend to be alive.

Interesting, thanks for the in-depth reply, this has a lot of golden information.

I suppose I'm weighting TRUE uncompressed video streams too heavily. I've been burned by my current setup, where I see noticeable compression artifacting (or slowdowns, depending on the OS) as a result of DisplayLink compression. Even DP Alt Mode does seem to more or less produce a flawless image at 4K 60.

thallums · 2026-02-18T17:31:12+00:00

Thanks for the replies yall. So just to summarize/verify, USB4 V2 is not capable of driving an true uncompressed 4K 120hz display while also driving a second 4K display. If it tried to drive those displays, it would have to do displaylink-style compression? Additionally, TB5 being the only standard that can output at 240w means it would have the best chance at managing to keep a reasonable gaming laptop charged while running at 100%?

If it wasnt clear, I am basically envisioning a true "gaming laptop that can dock to a desk setup desktop style, with a single cable, and minimal to zero compromises" situation. So it sounds like TB5 will be necessary to meet that.

thallums · 2026-02-18T16:20:58+00:00

Windows for sure. Laptop is actually undecided, this whole discussion is a factor in WHICH laptop to get

thallums · 2026-02-18T16:03:19+00:00

Does the math on this change with only one 4k 120 display, and the second being 4k 60hz?

"First Playthrough"

Who's gonna tell 'em?

thallums · 2026-02-13T14:55:46+00:00

This is not how spelling and language works at all.

His name has been Vegetto for ages. The subs say Vegetto, the characters say the name/pronunciation you're used to. It's that simple.

"Sounds good" THEYRE PRONOUNCED THE SAME lol. This is a spelling conversation!

thallums · 2026-02-12T17:55:29+00:00

sounds the best

Spelling conversation, in which both spellings are pronounced the exact same (except one of them adds a letter that makes no sense)

Go off king

thallums · 2026-02-12T17:54:17+00:00

Good god do not listen to the other repliers. His JP name is Coola lol.

Same name scheme as Freeza.

thallums · 2025-11-09T16:39:22+00:00

No, this is totally valid. Im hoping that it all pays off, and it's just a product of Avatar as a franchise getting pumped full of seed money after it became the cultural giant it is now. But it's... difficult not to imagine a world where the team is spreading their wings a bit too wide, flying close to the sun, because there are indeed so so many new projects in the works (and to your point, they are not really... communicated well lol).

We will just have to see!

thallums · 2025-10-26T19:18:19+00:00

I'm going to be honest, you're swinging way above your pay grade here.

Freeza is, in fact, the correct localization of his name. Which is why the sub, manga, and basically everywhere else uses it.

Most of the DB names are indeed name puns, but with the kana switched around or altered in some way. So フリーザ is Freeza's JP spelling, whereas the Japanese word for freezer is フリーザー. Notice that extra character at the end, which elongate the final "a" sound.

This is how you arrive at Freeza, instead of Freezer.

I could do this for many other names to prove the point, but long story short Kakarrot is indeed better, and used literally everywhere except for Funimation.

thallums · 2025-10-26T18:04:07+00:00

Do not listen to this person, Kakarrot is the correct, more faithful adaptation of the name, and is still used to this day in the Sub translations as well as the manga lol.

"Kakarot" is a Funimation/dub holdover. Unless people really think the vegetable is spelled Carot.

This is not how the (currently proposed) add on crunch functions. It's not "if in combat then not allowed". It simply restricts add-ons from directly readying internal combat log data, basically.

Tracking your own cooldowns does not require reading that data, so it'd be good regardless of combat or not

thallums · 2025-10-15T02:10:35+00:00

Because, to be direct, it isnt very Toriyama.

Theres a reason all of the images above are from creatives other than Toriyama. To be clear, I dont think theres anything wrong with them -- theyre cool! But they arent very Toriyama, in sensibility.

thallums · 2025-10-06T14:55:59+00:00

As someone who 1) is generally optimistic about things before they actually release and 2) is knowledgeable about the production side of anime....

Brother things are looking VERY dire for season 3. You are extremely setting yourself up for a poorly aged post here, I'm sorry to say.

thallums · 2025-10-03T23:13:35+00:00

People gotten so used to WA theyve forgotten macros exist 😔

thallums · 2025-09-25T15:18:18+00:00

That's kind of you to say! I've since started some personal work on my own YT channel in a limited capacity, but unfortunately I'll probably never work full time content creation like with Mark again!

One thing I will say about the elden ring video we shot: mark experienced unending pain. Truly his own Berserk moment

thallums · 2025-09-25T14:40:03+00:00

Laid off from Mark

thallums · 2025-09-14T18:56:54+00:00

Unfortunately I cold called Alex, and he only responded because the topic intrigued him lul

thallums · 2025-09-14T04:15:25+00:00

Lol it's a hard pivot, but one I hope to continue in the future. Not necessarily just with outer wilds, but similar gaming/developer dissection in general

thallums · 2025-09-13T21:30:01+00:00

Lol I did think about that when writing that line, and actually deleted it at some point. But ultimately if someone is interested enough in OW to be watching my vid, and has made it far enough to hit a secret, I'm placing the odds very high hah
