yeah he’s way too impressed with China to the point he’s uncritical

I guess he became that way after listening to all his peers be blithely dismissive of China*, but he’s overcorrected

*acting as if Chinese companies copy all innovation from the US for example

China’s almost single-handedly responsible for the EV and solar transitions while India is not doing all that, it’s fine from a “observing the global game” perspective to not bother about India too much

(as much as i want it to be otherwise, just very inward-looking India has become now)

OSRs great for actually playing IRL though, usually you can step into any group at all since there’s always a way to add characters in, and the character not making it to the end pf the session is perfectly fine given how inconsistent scheduling can be, very little rules to memorize

A lot of actual play problems that can be solved by using a rules-light system instead of the terrible 5e so the theater kids can just focus on the role play, but the 5e heads love only 5e and won’t watch anything else

(as much as i want to shill OSR here, bad fit for actual play, PCs die too fast)

discourse is on twitter, mostly “bravo Vince” (including Kojima)

lot of people declaring/begging that the government has to pay for OpenAI server farms at the same time

almost certainly a group-chat panic on the scale of the SVB bank run happening rn

> Square Enix hopes to make annual cost savings of over 3 billion yen ($19.6 million).

so less than half of a FF7 remake? you sure you need to cut so many jobs to save this money Square?

pretty sure this is self inflicted they’re probably trying to model the exact skin folds of every NPC

mild economic adjustments and cultural liberalism, anything more and the average voter gets so comfortable they start scrolling TikTok to go insane while not noticing the literal $300/child/month hitting their bank accounts for an entire year

mass psychosis event the 2024 election was, fully unmoored from reality because everyone was so prosperous they didn’t have to care about money for 5 years(post-Covid stimulus to 2024)

Trump solved that issue quick, Democrats should keep it so voters never have real money again they can’t handle it

the actual reason this started was to destroy pro-abortion messaging

“oh yeah, we shouldn’t vote for Trump because he’ll ban abortion fully? Kamala will literally send us to our death that’s worse”

that’s why it includes the “because our girlfriends voted for Kamala” part always

custom url handle like mine that used to be verified but doesn’t now maybe the TXT record broke

hi just curious, what would mixed-race neighborhoods come out to in this statistically
November 5, 2025 at 9:56 PM
??? the Mamdani base is the PMC! what are you talking about
November 4, 2025 at 9:19 PM
no? They hate the PMC! That’s who they say Zohran’s base is! (They’re right too)

if this is a NAS/plex server as I am guessing

Intel GPUs have great video encoding/decoding coverage if you can find them
November 4, 2025 at 6:19 PM
you need to be looking at used server gear for this
November 4, 2025 at 6:18 PM
if it’s an ipad mini you could buy a plug-in controller that makes it a retroarch console as well

why are all her autistic hyperfixations on such boring things though

she runs an auto repair shop why does she have some arcane car or transportation issues she’s pushing?
