Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Did you originally play it on Gamecube?

Monty Python "sank into the swamp" vibes.

Yeah the pacing is immaculate. When there is a quiet moment, it's either building to an action sequence or an effortless kind of worldbuilding where all the characters are interesting or fun to watch (or both).

John Wick 1 is an absolutely spellbinding movie.

Sometimes you take a whole bunch of pictures and none of them are any good. Here's two that are somewhat acceptable from this morning.

Why did we order from Pizza Batman when there's insanely good food literally everywhere? We were all hungover and sick from said good ass food, we wanted something unadventurous.

Once when I was in India, we ordered pizza from a place called "Pizza Batman" and it was the worst pizza I have ever had in my life. It was like one of those flavorless Lunchables but large with the most awful "crust" I've ever had.

Sorry, I didn't read carefully enough. I think the idea has legs, for what it's worth. Also it would be totally wicked.

Leslie Nielsen would have been 100 years old yesterday

So their plan consists of "the planet farted, hold up a match"

It may look daunting but there's really only about two gamesworth of game in those four volumes. Formative games for me (and .hack//SIGN was the second anime I ever watched).

Hadn't heard of a new game coming, but I hope it's true.

I, as a programmer, feel the opposite. Please no more weird time shit to deal with thanks.

Sorry about your 10% loss in my social credit book, Tie.

ID verification beyond the presence of a credit card is comparatively new. There's no infrastructure around it.

If you get your identity stolen, you gotta go to the cops. That sucks! It's not protecting money, so banks don't care. It's a gov't responsibility. But they aren't helping (are they?).

There's a standard set by payment processing, a sensitive process that made its way onto the internet.

Payment processors get compromised too, but there's industry security standards (PCI) around those technologies that limit the damage.

There's banks and credit bureaus (ugh) protecting you too.

There's other privacy concerns too.

Ideal age verification is almost anonymous. Say "Alice" requires age verification, contracts "Bob" to provide it. Bob works with me directly and then gives a yes/no answer to Alice.

Bob should store as little as possible and prevent human access. That's hard.

I'm not aware of any age-verification technology that has a proven security track record yet. The porn sites are opting out of markets where those laws have been passed, which implies to me that maybe there isn't one yet.

I avoid all non-government (and even then...) online ID verification.

Guess I'm gonna be in "no swears" mode in @discord.com starting next month lmao. Nice try, idiots.

Camera's not so good at pointing directly into the sun.

Hell yeah! I definitely found this one too.

I discovered AMVs around the time I discovered the Final Fantasy games, and VIII was my first one. It was a magical time.

RIP to the 3 Doors Down guy, here's my tribute post

I finally figured out why my macro shots were blurry. The mechanical shutter on this camera is so large and in charge that it's creating motion in the camera that affects the image. Switched to electronic shutter and they're all sharp now. Wild.
