They should hire Ricky Gervais to host those award shows… might be worth watching then

More anime this way...

Split off from previous thread.... Incidentally ran across this interesting take on Dandadan episode 7. About how to do flashbacks in an interesting way and the power of show, don't tell. As well as comparisons to manga panels for the same sequences

I’m fairly sure the shrimp thing came from the same travel guide that introduced drop bears Ie an urban legend that exists overseas Usually I put steak or chicken on the bbq. Sometimes fish or vegetables. Some mornings I do egg and bacon on it edit something I grew quite fond of is mushrooms with lots of thyme

Ran across this trailer and started digging a bit. Looks like it could be fun (i.e. no guarantee it's any good, but at least it looks interesting). Basically a Japanese Fallout game set in 80's USA in a world where Japan successfully took over America Yes, full of 80's retro

Nothing exciting, just 2 minutes of monotony.... People sometimes raise an eyebrow or two when they find out my PC is connected to an UPS. But when you live where I live, it's not a luxury. Yesterday evening, while minding some meat on the BBQ, I took my phone and just shot 2 minutes of the night sky. Sometimes, weeks on end, every single afternoon and night, it looks like this... while my poor UPS is sweating and going <click><beep!>.... <click><beep!>... while compensating for power fluctuations

Saw episode 7 of Dandadan. Wont post serious spoilers or screenshots that might spoil it in case someone still has to watch it... Get ready to get sucker punched. Badly. Really badly. Complete change of vibe.

A continuation of my previous post, cover versions and movie/tv series adaptations... got to say, I absolutely adored the Wednesday show, bought it on DVD from an AU distributor and eagerly await a season 2

Reminds of my early teenage years (12-13 year old, thereabouts)... got my hands on a medical encyclopedia of sorts at the library and read it. I've never felt so sick in my life, convinced I had a week left to live

Asking for a friend... did you ever drop the bread into the fondue? edit: in case the reference is too obscure

Just speculation on my part now, so take with a grain of salt, solely based on Musk's personality... The first things to disappear will be things like The Occupational Health and Safety Act (too much red tape for what businesses are allowed to expose workers to), The environmental impact analysis for construction projects (who needs drinking water anyway when The Coca Cola company sells bottled water), the much hated federal minimum wage etc... (never mind that more than half the states have local minimum wage laws that are higher) because they all impede the growth of share values.

I'm fairly sure the target isn't corruption, but as mentioned in article, get rid of regulations and rules (for business conduct). Say welcome to a new social class, the serfs, in the US Edit: Let's be honest, Musk is not known to care about his employees beyond squeezing every last drop of life force out of them and then discard them. Claiming anything else is being deliberately obtuse

A bit of mutual back scratching. Musk purchased votes for Trump and Trump gives Musk a role where he can crack down on workers rights to make Tesla more profitable... The BBC had that story too https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cnvjr42yq39t "Donald Trump appoints Elon Musk to 'efficiency' role and Fox News host as defence secretary"... You can't make this stuff up At least Musk, unlike Trump, is a successful businessman regardless of what else (nothing of it nice) can be said about him.

This thread reminds me of, has anyone been in touch with @Gromnir recently? Not a word since March. Hope he is Ok

In the Mass Effect games and Dragon Age games I went with the default characters (both male and female). Didn't feel like spending 72 hour to create something even remotely attractive of either gender. Don't get me started on the Bethesda games I guess it's part of why I love a game like Guild Wars 2. Lots of customization possibilities, although I wish facial makeup/scars was handled better. Then there is the dress up your character part where Guild Wars really truly lives up to its nickname "Fashion Wars 2"
