zabadoh,

Performance art and stagecraft more than useful information.

But fun to watch nonetheless!

zabadoh,

Hey @MESSENGER_24](lemmy.world/u/MESSENGER_24)

You wouldn’t happen to have all your tracks on a YT playlist or equivalent would you?

zabadoh,

You might as well for posterity’s sake, rather than keeping it all to yourself 😉

Fraud trial juror reports getting bag of $120,000 and promise of more if she'll acquit (apnews.com)

A juror was dismissed Monday after reporting that a woman dropped a bag of $120,000 in cash at her home and offered her more money if she would vote to acquit seven people charged with stealing more than $40 million from a program meant to feed children during the pandemic....

zabadoh,

Since she dropped the money off with the police, the person who owns the money can come and claim it.

If nobody claims it within a certain period of time, then the money is officially hers to keep.

If someone does come and claim it, then they will probably get in a lot of legal trouble.

i.e. The money’s about as good as the former juror’s. She just needs to wait.

zabadoh,

Good point!

Internet forums, TV shows, movies, and videogames are fun, but they’re not a good substitute for talking to real live humans, especially your peers of the similar age and background.

You gotta put yourself in some place where you meet the same people consistently to become friends with them.

It takes on average 8 encounters with conversations to become someone’s friend, so you have to be consistently there over a period of time.

Go volunteer anywhere, get a menial job anywhere. Especially if it’s something you think you’ll hate, you’ll learn something and at least you’ll be interacting with people.

You’re in college, and you should be thinking about your future. Summer is no time to waste, and you should be (or should have been) looking into internships in some career field that you’re interested in. Again, don’t turn your nose up at a company or type of work that isn’t the latest and greatest, because you’ll learn something by doing anything. If you have free housing with supportive parents, you can even ask a company to intern for free just to get in to some experience in a field that you’re interested in. Or maybe not interested in. For example, you might like computers, but you might find work on a farm or veterinary clinic and find out that you like animals even more.

When you do go back to school:

Does your college have a cafeteria on campus? Spend some time at the same one, every class day, for lunch and/or dinner, (preferably both) and join the same group at the same table. You’ll probably recognize people in some classes you’re taking, and you can use that as an “in” to get conversations started. Or even just overhearing people talking about something you’re interested in, in which case, just join in.

Where do y'all recommend looking to find no-disc game patches in general?

Mostly asking because I’ve never used these before due to never needing to. That, and I have a few old disc based PC games that I’d love to be able to straight up boot without the game disc. These are games I could just pirate, but I figure I already own them in disc, so I’d rather see if there are any reputable places...

zabadoh,

The full disc images worked well, and hard drive space is so cheap these days, that I’d worry about getting the virtual drive emulator working first.

WinCDEmu is FOSS, so you might look into that first.

Back in the day, I bought Alcohol 120, and it worked great.

The mini-CD image trick (optional): forum.daemon-tools.cc/forum/…/4900-

zabadoh,

Those no-disc patches can be sketchy and infected, so watch out!

My preferred way to play games without CDs was virtual disc emulators, so you can store a copy of your game disc on your hard drive, and virtually pop that game’s CD image into the virtual drive in when you want to play that specific game.

One good trick with these, is that you don’t even need a full copy of the disc: There was some trick to creating a very small disc image that just has enough information to get past the game’s copy protection, but it’s been well over 2 decades since I did any of that, so you’ll have to do your own research.

zabadoh,

It’s such a convoluted plot. I don’t even remember where it left off… I hope there will be some recap episode(s).

zabadoh, (edited )

Wind Breaker is definitely good. Not quite great, like Dungeon Meshi, but very watchable.

The MC, Haruka Sakura, is a parody on the “fight to become top delinquent” type of main character. His strange appearance with bi-colored hair, and odd eye colors, set him apart as the freak that he is. He even has 2 girls names.

The local delinquent gang is loved by the local merchants, and when they’re not fighting other roving gangs, they do positive social work.

The highlight so far has been the gorgeously animated fight in episode 5.

zabadoh,

Okay, but what is bad about it?

zabadoh,

It sounds like you liked the source material.

Sorry it got a bad adaptation.

zabadoh,

It does look pretty wild and out there! High production value slapstick comedy? This ought to be interesting…

zabadoh, (edited )

A couple of scenes from the preview are likely parodies of the scene in Nausicaa where she walks on the golden “field” of Ohmu… tentacles?

Of course, I can’t find a clip of it for reference…

Only significant movement by Girls Band Cry, which they did have a funny episode, although not as devastating as Jellyfish this week so I hear.

Also, also:

Next season’s Summer 2024 Preview charts:

MAL+Anilist

JP Twitter

There’s significant divergence between anticipated shows on MAL+Anilist and JP Twitter:

After Oshi No Ko S2 and Deer Friend Nokotan scoring high on both charts, the rest of the top 5 on each:

MAL+Anilist: Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian, Suicide Squad Isekai, Tower Of God S2

JP Twitter: Magical Girl and Evil Lieutenant Used To Be Enemies, Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest, Twilight Out Of Focus

Neither Tower Of God S2 and Suicide Squad Isekai even show up on the JP Twitter chart top 30.

Which is not that surprising I guess, because of no large Japanese fanbase for either source material.

zabadoh,

The title for this post ends with “Week 22” which is fairly meaningless… I think the count started last season, but didn’t get reset to “Week 1” at the start of the current season, some 9 weeks ago.

Another thing on the list for improvements?

zabadoh,

An opinion piece from the right wing echo chamber…

Every single article on the home page right wing slant about the Trump trial.

zabadoh,

I wish that made me more confident that they can make decent Trek movies and TV, but it doesn’t

zabadoh,

Skydance: Started and run by Larry Ellison’s son, David Ellison, and being that, it’s impossible for him to run out of money.

I hope he’s a Trekkie.

zabadoh,

Why? To kill them off faster?

Wisconsin attorney general files felony charges against attorneys, aide who worked for Trump in 2020 (apnews.com)

Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul filed felony forgery charges Tuesday against two attorneys and an aide who helped submit paperwork falsely saying that former President Donald Trump had won the battleground state in 2020....

zabadoh,

Those involved in the fake elector scheme aren’t just criminals, they’re traitors who really need to be dealt with severely.
