The fold and the flip have already cycled several years of continuous improvement. The hinges now are a massive improvement over the original flimsy hinges. The crease has been getting smoother as well.

It’s interesting, it’s still an early adopter kind of product. But it obviously has a market, however small it might be.

These things are usually calculated quarter to quarter.

He was the queer kid of a Latina mother in the US who liked fashion and wanted to save the environment. Then it was focus grouped to death until the director and the main star left. Pete Docter killed the film because he hates people. “Want to make films that appeals to as many people as possible” means kill minorities representation to him. This attitude will eventually bankrupt Pixar.

It makes me sad because elio was supposed to be a cute story about a queer kid learning about his place in the universe. Instead, the original director and writer got kicked, the movie was butchered and a new film was made from the corpse that had nothing to do with the original premise. Then it was released without any marketing and the animators were blamed, “the movie flopped because of bean mouth!” No, is flopped because Disney is an evil pos that only wants profit and to cause suffering to minorities in order to extricate more money for the shareholders.

There’s a story mode that auto-skips all the combat.

It has a very generous and flexible difficulty setting. Plus accessibility options. I started on normal and have been dropping down the difficulty whenever I gets too much, or disabling the skill based parts altogether. Then back up whenever a particular fight seems interesting, just to see how it plays out. It doesn’t penalizes you at all, as it should. It is truly a game designed to be enjoyed fully, it never gets in the way of the player’s enjoyment, and respects your time in ways no other jrgp does.

He placed the main channel on hold, but has still continued to produce content. He has an extraordinary game show in podcast format that shares very unique trivia called Lateral. He is also in the post-production phase of a new run of videos featuring a big road-trip, according to his newsletter. He also occasionally still makes new series of Technical difficulties.

Well, Jesuits were the child fucking colonialist spearhead of Catholicism in south Asia and parts of Latin America to further destroy local cultures and complete the cultural side of genocides. So, that tracks.

“I’m so privileged and selfish that I will burn the planet down and kill everyone before having to walk more than a block or use public transport.”

My current favorite conspiracy theory is that Paramount is doing all this in order to accelerate a contractual split in Warner. Because the sale would mean that CNN gets puts in a different basket company. That’s what David Ellison actually wants to buy, and it is what neither Paramount or Netflix wants to buy. So, in theory, this is all part of Ellison’s trying to get to CNN before the US 2026 electoral cycle.

I like trains.

Good, unless you have some disability it shouldn’t be.

He bought a Tesla because he thinks Elon is a genious.

Aura is the medical term for a visual artifact seen by people right before a migraine. I have chosen this interpretation of the name and find it apt.

The Seinfeld effect. Today they seem clunky, janky, unpolished or uninspired. Because you have way better modern examples to compare them to. The catch is that when they came out, they were the first. People have said the same about the Beatles, the rolling stones, the og legend of Zelda, counter strike, etc.

A pre-built gaming solution that comes with guaranteed software support, something that MS doesnt even offer BTW, sounds like a really good deal to me.

Oh cool, you have a motherboard with two WiFi 7 antennas and dual chip Bluetooth that also fits inside a 3.5 l case with a low noise cooling solution, that also happens to boot on controller input? Just ready to just, I don’t know, upgrade to a graphics card that is not even for sale to consumers?

That’s also research. Someone building a PC for you will also charge for labor, and that’s price parity with a pre-built. The hype is that Valve is front loading a bunch of labor free of MS shitty practices.

There’s more to building a PC than just the putting it together. Reaseach for parts, ordering, waiting for delivery, etc. I know because I have built almost all the computers I’ve ever own. It’s a hobby, not everyone has the same hobbies we do, and that’s OK.

Did you know that I make a mean risotto? It’s so fire. Like, I use all these high class ingredients, a delicious local cheese that tastes like magic. And I can get it to the perfect consistency, and I can do it for relatively cheap. Because I’m doing it myself, labor is not accounted in, I just pay for the ingredients. Thus I can use more expensive ingredients as well.

You know what I also like to do? I like to go out and eat at fancy restaurants with my friends and family. I also eat risotto when I eat out. Their risotto is also just as good as mine. Sometimes better, sometimes not so much. It is always more expensive than cooking myself of course. But you know what I don’t like to do? I don’t like to cook for dozens of people. It is too much labor. However, I can go with a party of 10 or more people and eat in a restaurant. And they will serve us, because they don’t care that there are too many of us. Because we are paying them to cook. I exchange money, for more convenience and less effort. Ain’t that wild?

So, anyways, I’m not talking about food.
