I have a lot of fond memories with Jump Ultimate Stars in high school. I had a friend who was insanely good at it and could basically keep me in a combo loop throughout the match. The online gameplay was great for the DS back in the day with hardly any hiccups in connectivity. They really need to do a proper sequel to the game.

Final Fantasy VIII, Dishonored, and Xenogears. They all tend to stick in the back of my head long after playing them. Special mentions are Final Fantasy VI, FTL, and Bastion.

This joke’s getting as stale as the “attack helicopter” shit your alt-right counterparts say.

It’s Facebook for corporate shills and people who pretend to be one when looking for a job.

Having a digital only version of a console is very concerning from an e-waste point of view. It’ll be an odd-shaped brick years later when the digital store front is long gone and the old SSD gets corrupted.

Don’t try arguing with these people. They’ve never had to deal with someone in a meth fueled psychosis where the slightest movement can be perceived as some kind of taunt or challenge to them.

I’ll completely jump ship once SolidWorks can run on Linux. Wine is still a little iffy with it.

Mexican news. It happened in Zacatecas last year.

I saw an angel casually walk down a street with a human head in his mouth. I’d post the video but, y’know, rule 4.

East LA by Atlantic and Whittier. Used to be an opera house.

I hate to say it but there are simply so many subjects to cover in a single day that it’s hard to reinforce the lessons learned in class within the given amount of time in a school session. Maybe if schools were structured in a way in which fewer subjects were taught each day would the lessons stick better without the need of homework.

Recruiters keep asking me to apply and I must’ve told them to pound sand about 3 times in the past 2 years.

The janitor works for $8/hour out of desperation. The CEO works for $10k/hr out of greed. The difference in pay rates based on position should be regulated. I think a CEO should only be paid at most 10 times more than the lowest paid job in any organization. That way everyone will have some parity and a shot at a decent life even at the low end.

I’ve done that actually. It’s only been 2 months since that encounter but here’s hoping.

Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and generally anyone who wants to convert me to their fucked up religion when they knock on my door. Why should I be civil when they bother me at my house on my time off to dictate what I should believe in? If I’m interested I’d go to them and not the other way around.

As bad as this sounds it’s best to keep limited assistance to Ukraine if it can be helped. How would it look like to an increasingly unhinged Putin, dictator with a nuclear capable ICBM system, when the army of a country they invaded are rolling down the road to Moscow with highly advanced American equipment? There are two positive ways to end the war:

1. Ukraine invades Moscow with limited western support giving him less of a justification to send retaliatory missile strikes all over the world.

2. Things look so bleak even to the most financially comfortable Russian citizen that his own people turn on him and manage a successful coup before he can escalate things any further.

They won’t be able to stand upright in the next round of shrinking.

We’ve been down this road before. It just takes a few determined hackers to find a workaround. I can’t wait to see what their solution would be.

Just finished Ministry for the Future and now planning to jump in to Nemesis Games.
