  • I was already bitter about patrasche being translated/localized(?) as patlash in re:zero but things are getting even shittier I guess. For those not in the know Dog of Flanders is a story nearly every japanese person will know at least to some degree, and has been referenced infinitely in anime and manga.

    And similarly so many weird fucking names you could search the katakana online and find 30 different game wikis that reveal it was just akward katakana for a common non-japanese name, but no it has to to be different in this anime or that manga and we are going to make up some aneurysm romanization for it.

    or incorrect subject assumtion because japanese is vague on that and if it’s ai translated it actually makes sense with the lack of context awareness, and the list could go on for days



  • things aren’t ready for this unless they wanted all the gamers to fuck off. Gaming on linux is a huge part of the already small percentage increase in linux use and a lot of people are just starting. Suddenly not having a bunch of games work or some not without advanced hurdles and probably being told it would be easier to pick another distro is too much for newbies who may just give up and go back to windows.

    hopefully hopefully valve will move along with 64 bit steam and wine’s wow64 functionality improves before the supposedly inevitable no choice but to drop 32 bit release.




  • I cant comment much on current good printers but I did an enderwire and its cool but doesn’t really outperform my other ender with just kevinakasam belt mod. I’m considering copying the double rail bed axis and enclosure+cable routing from the enderwire to the belted ender though. If I get free time to tweak the models. check out ender ng also for another ender mod that I plan to do if I can get another free or cheap ender somewhere.





  • video was so cringy, especially the voice explaining things that I couldn’t watch beyond punch being explained twice followed by just the name of the the second ability being explained, dive punch.

    If we get to the point of switch2 piracy or I get a chance to play it on someone else’s dime I will, but this video is selling it worse than plain gameplay footage would have. You don’t have to explain destructible voxel terrain like it was just invented for the first time while treating every digging direction like a unique thing, twice.









  • everything up to 2006 was roughly 70K cad including stuff I never used, duplicates only counted if they were either games for different system/movies from different phys. media/given to friends. value of dollar was roughly accounted for as if it was bought when new.

    A bunch of friends and I stopped pirating stuff when we started working and had no time for entertainment and we tallied everything up and checked each other’s calculations and voted on if certain items could be included, etc., as a closure/end of an era thing. I was second place and top of our group was like 130K

    current bounty is probably just whatever mcu films are on bluray and maybe 6 bluray volumes of whatever anime weren’t on the netflix or amazon I’m mooching. Maybe like 8 switch games but I only played 2 and wiped it when I sold the switch, and 3 pc games but I only played 1 but I’ll probably just go through my steam backlog if I ever have gaming time again in my life.

    edit: I guess also some netflix shows while I wasn’t mooching an account and some apple shows but no idea how to account for that.


  • Some unlimited plans ban for account sharing so if the vpn changes your IP more frequently than an internet provider changes your IP maybe it could get flagged. It doesn’t specifically break the rules in the ones I read though. Also on some usenet guides I’ve looked at it is recommended not to use vpn, but if it works and you live somewhere with shittier piracy laws why not.

    Where I live if you get the letter you can ignore it and they can pound sand, but with vpn on torrents but not usenet I haven’t had the letter in years.
