You can play them in any order, but I'd recommend playing the English games before the Japanese market games because the Japan games have more difficult levels.

I've mostly been wanting to play Rocket League, but I've been super stressed and for whatever reason playing against real people stresses me more. I think it's because I can't just pause the game whenever I feel like it.

So I've been mostly playing against ML bots with RLBotGui. As a gold/plat level player, it's actually a great way to practice.

I've also been playing through all of the Adventures of Lolo games(1-3 US and Japan, GB Lolo, eggerland series, plus all of the many rom hacks) on my Anbernic handheld. It's my favorite puzzle game of all time.

I can't believe he said his channel is for the people who can afford to move out of North America. There is absolutely no way he would have been as successful if his channel was only viewed by the less than 1% who can legally and financially move to Amsterdam.

He's not wrong about NA, but he's being a privileged rich dick. Car centric infrastructure isn't hurting the rich anywhere near as badly as the poor.

Crackers mostly post the cracks to IRC sites, cs.rin.ru, and private torrent sites. Repackers are the main way releases make it to the mainstream torrent sites.

Repacking isn't that complicated anymore, it's more about reputation. There was a time when games were big and internet speed was slow so saving every MB of size was important. Repackers would reencode video files and find other ways of dramatically reducing the file size. Nowadays they don't do a lot of that, but repackers are still important for casual pirates who just want to easily play pirated games and not worry about malware.

I had a physics class that required Mathmatica and a stupid expensive textbook. The professor said the college forced him to use those because the college gets a kickback for it. Luckily he was awesome and told everyone that we could buy the much cheaper older version of the book and pirate the software.

Cracks are usually released separately from the uncracked game files. Repackers take those cracks and package them with the correct version of the game, compress the files and add an installer. Then they upload them to the more mainstream public trackers.

Repacks have several benefits. They tend to be easier to setup and usually more reliable. They download faster and use less data because they are compressed. They are also sometimes packaged with extras like soundtracks, mods, etc.

Fitgirl repacks are known to be more compressed, so the files are a little smaller but take a fair amount longer to install.

I have the same graphics card. I and others with 6700 and 6800 cards have been getting weird glitches/lighting artifacts in Rocket League since driver 23.7.1. I haven't played much else since then, so I don't know what else it affects.

I got excited when 23.7.2 came out but it didn't fix the issue. I tried to roll back the driver, but that caused a weird issue with the software I use to set fan curves, causing everything to spin up to 100% and stay there.

I going to run DDU and reinstall my fan software, but I haven't had the time yet.

That's the thought process that led to everyone driving giant vehicles in the first place. Bigger doesn't always mean safer for the occupants, but bigger is always more dangerous for everyone else. There are plenty of smaller vehicles that have excellent safety ratings.

I recently watched, "Russia 1985–1999: TraumaZone" and greatly enjoyed it.

It's about what it was like to live in the Soviet Union at the end of communism and then the end of democracy. The story is entirely told with footage from the time.

I'd like to also recommend my two favorite documentaries about labor unions, Harlan County, USA and American Dream.

If when you run a fingernail over it, if your nail catches in the scratch, the scratch is very likely too deep to fix with paint correction(like buffing/polishing).

A proper fix will require prep, painting and blending, which you shouldn't try to do yourself. You could buy a touch up stick that matches your paint to cover the scratch. It won't look perfect and won't last forever without clear coat on top, but it will prevent rust.

Before you decide how you'll deal with this, you can bring it to a body shop for an estimate, most shops will do that for free. Most shops can give you an estimate from photos emailed or submitted to their websites.

Can you elaborate on why you blame Drake for the Astroworld crush?

I just read the whole Wikipedia article about the incident. There is definitely a lot of blame to go around based on that article, but I doesnt have much about Drake's role in it. It seems like he was only on stage for one song, and wouldn't have been in any position to stop the show.

I'm not defending Drake, I'm just curious about what context I'm missing.

I've had issues that I've been able to work around.

I have previously had the error, "settings could not be applied", which I worked around by uninstalling my YouTube updates, installing the recommended version and clearing revanced manager data. I now get an error about not being able to load the original APK. I work around this by deleting the two apks in /data/abd/vanced before patching.

I'm rooted and have to repatch on each reboot. Not complaining, just want to share my experience in case it helps others.

I love revanced, and feel so thankful for it. I can't afford YT premium, without revanced I would miss out on so much great content.
