Being able to just be alive without life kicking me in the teeth. Rarely happens.

Fwiw, I avoid anything the toddler and his cronies advertise like the plague.

I was looking for Sream gift cards as birthday presents for some friends 2 months or so ago. No wonder I couldn’t find them.

This doesn’t sound real. I would need to see actual evidence posted, not just a “he said she said”.

All valid comments.

I would love to buy merch from the stuff I like, but it simply isn’t affordable to pack my room with models and posters like you can do in Japan. I wouldn’t mind the low quality stuff if it is cheaper.

Box sets are definitely the way to go, if the series you have your eyes on is fortunate enough to get one.

It also doesn’t help that Japan cares very little about foreign markets. Anime merch is still wildly overpriced outside of Japan. I’m not paying $60 USD for a 1 inch tall figurine, and $13 USD per Manga book is hardly sustainable.

I happen to love FFXII, but everyone I talk to hates it. I understand it more with the Zodiac Age version since they made a few unnecessary changes, but the original was fun.

Don’t get the wrong idea. All of the ideas were approved - this one was just released first.

Not just confiscating it, but throwing it all over the place. These guys are just pure and unfiltered evil, laws be damned. They all have a reserved spot in the lowest layer of hell.

This was intentional escalation. That is NOT how you police. The guy put himself and his team in an unnecessarily dangerous situation.

Better to be imprisoned here than executed in China. It seems like weird politicking to just come out and admit your crime, but sometimes that is actually better than being sent back to or dealing with your home country.

This coming from a guy who is turning Unreal Engine 6 into a Fortnite engine.

When you are living, breathing cancer you should not be surprised when you have literal cancer start growing.

Went to a McDonald’s at an airport recently. $8 for fries and a sweet iced tea.

Article says $485

I never even thought about this. Good callout.

Erotic is when everyone involved is into it. It turns vulgar when one person isnt.

This is a pretty bad take. It is the same as saying “I don’t care that these workers are underpaid and overworked - just let me (other people) enjoy the game.” No, bitch. The industry keeps getting worse because people who don’t know or care keep feeding them money. Gaming for many people is an escape from reality, an interactive way for them to escape a rather harsh reality. Morally righteous people can’t stomach when that escape was created or funded by the people they are trying to escape from.

People complain because they are passionate about it. This goes for the entire thread - if you are tired of hearing people bitch about it, don’t just plug your ears. Do something about it or piss off.

This may explain why the same code review feedback needed to be written in every single PR made by our Indian offshore team. Either they didn’t give a shit, were incapable of learning, or used AI (which implies not giving a shit). I don’t understand how people can have so little pride in their work. Please do not drag other people down because you don’t want to do your job.

I remember selling a bag of skittles in elementary school for $10. Naturally I had to give the money back, and naturally I did not get my skittles back.
