omg, how is this scene still being taken out of context after 10+ years? In the scene mentioned, Tidus, the protagonist of the story, is feeling depressed and Yuna, the summoner who Tidus is guarding, tries to cheer him up. One of her methods is forcing(!) yourself to laugh. It looks ridiculous, it sounds ridiculous, heck, the other characters watching the scene think it's ridiculous and even Yuna herself at some point tells Tidus he should probably stop. The laugh sounds forced, because it is. And intentionally, at that.

Good. I hope that sleaze Pitchford loses a mountainload of money on this. I absolutely hate the guy, he's a liar and a thief. And arguably, depending how you look at it, a pedophile.
As a short reminder: Borderlands was originally meant to look like this. Then, at the MTV Asia Awards 2006, an artist by the name of Ben Hibon premiered a neat-looking animated short by the name of Codehunters. You can see it here. Witchford saw this and wanted to use the artstlye for his new game. He and Ben had a back-and-forth for a while and then, radio silence.
2009 comes around and Pitchfork's new game Borderlands is released. And to say that it looked familiar to Codehunters would be an understatement. Kitschford, being an upstanding and virtuous citizen that he is, straight-up aped Codehunter's style. No discussions or agreements were made with Ben and as such, despite Borderlands becoming hugely profitable, Ben didn't see a cent. And that is why I will always hope for the Borderlands IP to crash and burn. Or, at the very least, for someone to actually pay Ben Hibon for (unknowingly) creating the game's artstyle. Anyway, rant over, thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I'm on PorkBun now, but I've used Njalla for a few years and had no issues with them. The reason I switched was simply because I wanted to own the domain, because with Njalla the domain isn't actually yours, it's registered to Njalla. Note that this is by design, in the sense that when someone looks up the domain, they won't get your info, but Njalla's instead. After a while, I've gotten less comfortable with the idea of someone else owning the domain I paid for, so I switched.

Okay yeah, true enough. Maybe it would be more accurate to say that people are now much less likely to go see a mediocre to bad superhero movies. To give an example, the first two Thors and Iron Man 3 weren't great, but they were still box office hits. I have to wonder if it would pan out the same way if they were released today.

Yes, that would be one heck of a twist... if they hadn't revealed Dr. Doom's identity at Comic-Con. And we don't even know what the movie will be called, I might add. I think that if Disney was confident in whatever movie it is they're making, they would have kept RDJ's involvement on the down-low, to surprise the audience. Instead, they made this big hullabaloo about RDJ coming back.
Far as I can tell, the casting can be explained in one of two ways:
- This Dr. Doom is an alternate universe version of Tony Stark. But if this is true, why the heck would they spoil the reveal?
- Second option is even worse: no alternate universe chicanery. This is MCU's version of Doom. But that's just lazy casting.

Like so:
Cocaine pollutes the sea due to sewage discharges from humans who use the drug, as well as the illegal laboratories that produce it, study co-author Enrico Mendes Saggioro, an ecotoxicologist at the foundation, told CNN on Tuesday.
And as a side-note: cocaine being dumped at sea was considered as a possibility, but was ruled out:
Previous research suggested that cocaine dumped at sea by traffickers could be responsible for contamination, but that is not the case here, said Mendes Saggioro. “We don’t usually see many bales of coke dumped or lost at sea here, unlike what is reported in Mexico and Florida,” he said.

Lately I've been thinking about Voxatron, an incomplete yet fun little top-down-ish shooter game from 2011. I love the way it looks and plays, so I've been wondering if there are any other games with the same aesthetic? It's a bit hard to explain, but what I liked specifically about Voxatron was how the characters and the environment were animated. Everything seemed to snap to an invisible three-dimensional grid, or in other words, voxels didn't rotate. Here's [an example](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TvOZAdAngg). What I'm not looking for is a game that is made of voxels, but is animated like polygons, if that makes sense. Like [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nxryAvQCmo). I'm not really sure what term to use, because searching for "voxel games" was not very fruitful for me. Search results encompassed everything from Minecraft to Severed Steel. I imagine animating a game in such a way would be super time consuming, but I still have to ask: are there any games that fit this criteria?

Not to say I hate the genre, I actually love me some Dusk or Turbo Overkill, but why, oh why are they called **Boomer** Shooters? These games clearly took inspiration from 90s FPS games, which 👌, but they were played mostly by Gen Xers and Millenials, not Boomers. When games like Duke Nukem 3D or Quake were out, Boomers were what? 30 to 50 years old? I'm sure some of them played FPS games, but there is no way they were the majority. Whenever I see the term Boomer Shooter, my mind goes to games like [Shootout! for Magnavox Odyssey](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uZTvp7YUiQ). Can't we call them something else, like Retro FPSes or something? Anyway, rant over. Thank you for your time.

I **hate** talking about work. I also listening about work. I don't exactly enjoy my job, so I try not to waste my free time thinking about work, talking about work or, heaven forbid, doing something for work. However, my friends talk about their jobs all the time and it's painful to listen to. I told them as much, but the topic keeps popping up. I'm just not that invested in the specifics and minutia of their workday. I either lack the knowledge to understand their work process or, more often than not, just don't care. That is, unless something bad happened and they want to vent, I'm okay with that. But I still get looks, as if I should be interested about their job. Which, I'm sorry, I'm just not. Am I being unreasonable in trying to steer the conversation into a topic that isn't work-related?

So I recently got this board game. It's sort of, kind of like Magic: the Gathering. You play as a so-called Phoenixborn and you have a set number of hit points. When they reach zero, you lose. There's a bit more to it than that, but that's the gist of it. Alas, it's kind of hard to get a match going with my friends. Then I came across this neat webpage dedicated to the game. It is: https://ashes.live/ What I find neat about this page is that it links to not one, not two, but THREE resources where you can practice playing! - Option 1 (free): [Ashteki](https://ashteki.com/). Play against a human - Option 2 (free): [Felt Table](https://felttable.com/ashes). Play against an AI (what I mostly use) - Option 3: [Ashes Reborn for Tabletop Simulator](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2386753960). The mod is free, but like the name implies, you need to own Tabletop Simulator on Steam first. As for the rules, they're near the bottom of the page at the Files section. There are also other resources like youtube tutorials and premade decks and stuff. Anyway, just thought I'd share.

Here's the original letter. It's as dry as it is depressing: https://archive.ph/Bqd4f Some choice quotes for you: > I realize that some people who “play to have fun” and who currently form the majority of players have voiced their reservations toward these new trends, and understandably so. However, I believe that there will be a certain number of people whose motivation is to “play to contribute,” by which I mean to help make the game more exciting. Translation: I realize that the majority of people play games to have fun, but I only care about the people who will continue to give me money after they've bought the game. And I don't know about you, but "play to contribute" sounds a lot like work to me. > Traditional gaming has offered no explicit incentive to this latter group of people, who were motivated strictly by such inconsistent personal feelings as goodwill and volunteer spirit. Yeah, fuck those feelings. > It is precisely this sort of ecosystem that lies at the heart of what I refer to as “decentralized gaming,” and I hope that this becomes a major trend in gaming going forward. If we refer to the one-way relationship where game players and game providers are linked by games that are finished products as “centralized gaming” to contrast it with decentralized gaming, then incorporating decentralized games into our portfolio in addition to centralized games will be a major strategic theme for us starting in 2022. He keeps throwing that phrase around, "decentralized gaming". Does he even know what decentralized means? If it's made and controlled by his company, then it's by definition centralized. Sorry if this was a bit long, but corporate drivel such as this really gets my goat.
There are so many options out there, it's kind of dizzying. I'm looking for a cheap solution that I could hook up to a TV and ethernet, so it could run a flavor of Linux (or BSD) and play videos at 1080p. Bonus points if it can handle 1080p@60 FPS. Other than that, it would be used for light web browsing. I was looking at Raspberry Pi 4, but is there anything else you would suggest?
This is going to sound rather vague, but less than a week ago, I was reading a forum post somewhere about a device that lets you control a machine remotely, allowing you to do stuff like remotely access a machine's BIOS. Pretty sure it was Linux-based. I thought it was super neat, so I bookmarked it. Or so I thought, because I can't find the bookmark anywhere and for the life of me I can't remember the name of the device. I do remember it being really small, about the size of a Raspberry Pi. In fact, I remember reading the "recipe" for the device on the manufacturer's website that would allow you to make your own and I distinctly remember one of the components being an RPi. There was also a pre-assembled model available. Does this ring any bells for anyone or am I just talking nonsense?
The game I'm trying to run is Legend of Heroes 3: Prophecy of the White Witch for Windows XP. I installed XP in VirtualBox, but unfortunately, the game logic seems to be tied to the processor speed, which makes the game run at a blazing speed, making it unplayable. Same when I tried running it with Wine. I should probably mention at this point that my host OS is Linux. The game was originally meant for a Pentium II at 300 MHz or higher (specs [here](https://www.falcom.co.jp/ed3_win/m_order/)), so that's what I'm aiming for. VirtualBox doesn't seem to offer me the option of setting the processor speed, so that's out. Are there any other options available, outside of running out and buying a 20-year old PC?
