I read online that the other speedrunner dude that he sued, Apollo Legend, was a Nazi too. Just crazy how shitty the speedrun meta-YouTubers are. Especially in contrast to how good GDQ is with masking, anti-ableism, etc.

Still not gunna' drop the price of that one either though

Always the same graph but it's the 30% of USians that are stupid and evil.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FoG1yTAqFw Found a video of Sakana-kun (heard his name wrong) that he did for the UN's YouTube channel. He's really childish but it's cute. I like the fish hat.

Watching Adam & Joe Go To Tokyo on YouTube which is a BBC3 series of 2 british comedians doing like a travel-variety show in Japan (although it's mostly presented from a studio flat or whatever). Ehh, it's OK I guess. They're not funny at all. Some of the stuff they cover like talking to Shinichiro Watanabe and Michael Arias about The Animatrix and Osakana-Kun who is like some self-taught fish expert (and either a child's media presenter or autistic or something?), and covering some of the current trends in Japan like ads for dog translation collars at the time of 2003. Still has that orientalism shit although not out-right racist so far at least. Mentioned the girls' underwear vending machine thing which I assumed was a much later internet thing, feels weird having it mentioned in 2003 when people are still referencing that in the same 'Japan so weird' way.

No it's not. It's a baked-in way to manipulate people into paying for their stupid online. Its mere presence is vile. Easily could have been put inside the home button's menu/UI.

I'm also imagining accidentally hitting it with my palm and getting really annoyed at it pausing my game.

Yeah, unless it passed customs already.

China, the biggest market for a lot of movies, can just show them in theaters without paying the funds to Hollywood and people could probably pirate them at home freely. I think? That or Tesla and iPhone and shit.

Streaming pirated movies via Plex and a Prime day sale Firestick onto a 42" plasma TV with a soundbar, both of which I got for free and thriving.

Mexicans drinking cane sugar coke and chocolate treats while Americans eat diseased raw milk and price-jacked hotdogs.

That Zigzagoon one was the Mario Kart demo or pre-order bonus disc on GameCube I think?

They're butchering their own language.

 

 

“Well, the Joy-Con 2’s controllers have been designed from the ground up,” said Nate Bihldorff, senior vice president of product development and publishing. “They’re not Hall Effect sticks, but they feel really good.”

To the 3-5 pain piggies somehow lurking this site still: Do. not. buy.

 

Got home from work early today and could hear playful giggles from the living room. As I neared I could more clearly make out her saying stuff like "oh yeah, I like that," "it looks so big," and also kept saying Mario over and over (mispronounced). Walked into the livingroom and she hastily closed the laptop resting on her thighs. Her breath heavy and face covered with shame.

I asked her what she was just watching and she said nothing. Said she was justst looking up Light Switches online, was thinking about preordering 2 of them for the bedroom maybe.

I forced open the laptop and the video immediately started playing. I closed it. I was so disgusted. She said she was going to boycott it in solidarity with me. But here she was hyping herself up with this E-rated smut.

I don't know if I will ever trust her again. Especially stings because I've been boycotting Konami with/for her because her brother was killed by a poorly designed DDR dance mat.

 

Gunna' start linking to the latest translated GCCX episodes here maybe. Watched this the other day when it was released on Nyaa. Was a fun episode since it's such a bizarre game in general and for the show. I like the art style and the story, although the gameplay looks fucking awful to me. Also got frustrated watching Arino struggle with the puzzles. And the older lady store owner was funny.
