Cutscenes can be memorable for many reasons, such as their emotional impact, their humor, their shock value, or their artistic quality. Some cutscenes are so iconic that they have become part of gaming culture and history....
Final Fantasy X, the ending when Yuna rushes to hug Tidus and falls through him because he's starting to fade.
Life is Strange Before the Storm. (Spoilers) The ending with the camera flash. I played the first game. I knew Rachel died. But I lost myself in "this" game where she's alive. Forged a wonderful romance with Chloe and everything. I remember it was like 3AM when I finished the game and when it faded to the shot of Rachel's phone sitting on the table with tons of missed calls and the camera flashing in the background, I just involuntarily blurted out "Oh FUCK YOU!" It was a painful reminder that no matter how happy you make her, she dies in the end.
It took several weeks but I finally got my Reddit data export for my account. If it wasn't already obvious, the direct messages there are not encrypted in any meaningful way. One interesting variable I found was in the file named "statistics", there's a variable named "is_deleted" which is set to false. This makes me wonder...
I made no changes to any of my posts or comments, though I haven't been particularly active on Reddit. It has been un-usable for a long time for me because it seemed like every time I tried to make an original, thoughtful post, it would get auto-deleted by a bot because I didn't include the correct "flair" or some other non-sensical bull, yet others could just spam those same subreddits with memes and nonsense without issue. I would comment occasionally, but that's about it.
It might be a good idea though to go through and check my comments to see if anything looks out of sorts or was edited without my permission.
Yeah my whole export was only like 3MB of CSV files, so I'm guessing that any media you upload just gets dumped into a giant bucket with everybody else's stuff and then referenced by your post or whatever. Kinda makes you wonder if that stuff gets deleted if you delete your account.
I had a couple classmates that pretended to be vampires back in elementary and middle school. They’d pretend their Koolaid was blood, complain about the sunlight, and bite their friends a lot. Not enough to draw blood, though. I haven’t kept up with most of them, but one guy is a teacher now. He seems pretty normal.
I used to pretend I was bionic. Convinced the other kids that the visible blue veins in my wrist were wires, and would go above and beyond to exert myself so as to always appear stronger and faster than the other kids. I don't remember how long it went on, but it was for a while. I was like 7 or 8 maybe. I'm not sure how much I actually "believed" it, I think I was probably more like a method actor that took things way too seriously for a while, :-p
If you're a billionaire, you didn't get there through hard work and perseverance, you got there by lying, cheating and manipulating others. There's not one single person in this world who has personally created a billion dollars worth of value. Not Donald Trump, not Elon Musk, not Bill Gates or the Waltons, nobody. The wealth they hoard is generated collectively by their ideas, the work and contributions of their employees, taxpayer funded services like roads and railways that facilitate their ability to do business, the products they use that are produced by other people and companies, etc. If you're a billionaire, that means somebody else along the way (or many somebodies) isn't getting their fair share.
He's impulsive and doesn't know when to shut up. I got the distinct impression that, initially, he was absolutely not serious about buying Twitter. It was a joke/jest. BUT, because his antics affected their stock price he actually got forced into the purchase and now he's desperately trying to figure out how to make the purchase worth what he actually paid, which is fine and all, except he seems to be leading by impulse, not by consensus or logic. He wakes up in the morning, has some random ass idea and implements it without any oversight. Even his new CEO straight up admitted that she is basically a straw man CEO who will offer no friction to anything Elon wants to do.
Oh wow I didn't know that. Neofetch has been such a mainstay that it never occurred to me to check on its development status. Fastfetch isn't in the Debian repos even for Bookworm, but they've got debs and such for it right there on their page so that's cool, though I'm not particularly fond of installing debs from third parties if I can help it.
As a PSA, remember that the API changes don't only impact third party apps & accessibility tools, but also your ability to bulk delete or modify your Reddit history. If you intend to delete or modify your previous Reddit posts, be sure to run a tool like Power Delete Suite today before the shut down....
I filed a request for my Reddit data a week ago, so that I could save my account in its current state, before deleting it, and still haven't received the notification that it's ready. This process should be automated and not require human intervention, so I'm not sure why it's taking so long.
I wonder if they realize that, according to the laws of physics and thermodynamics, the amount of heat and energy they consume and put into the world in order to produce those ice blocks, actually exceeds the amount they're removing. So making ice blocks might help in the short term, but in the long term, they might actually make it worse, if not for the arctic, than for other places on the planet. Unless they're doing other stuff like planting trees, the best they could ever hope for is to simply break even; to cancel themselves out.
They're not a "news" organization. They're corporate media, entertainment. They even lost one of their certifications as a "trusted news source" for blatantly lying and regurgitating internet memes without checking their sources.
They shared a meme/photoshopped image of the judge that blessed off on the raid of Trump's home, supposedly hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein's partner in crime. The problem however is that the image was faked and even had a small watermark for the author of the image. Other people noticed the watermark and called them out on it, but they apparently didn't bother to check it themsevles.
I was partly incorrect, it wasn't a "certification" that they lost, but rather their rating on "NewsGuard" was downgraded as a result of their shitty coverage.
You may have heard of third places before, but in case it's new to you, they're essentially community spaces where you can chill & socialize...Like here, I suppose! But typically they refer to in-person community spaces....
A survey shows perceptions of the Florida governor's favorabilty have dropped, even among Republicans, as he refuses to back down in a feud with Disney.
On one hand, what he's "saying" isn't wrong, at a fundamental level. A corporation should have to follow the same laws as everybody else. That said, it's kinda obvious that Disney has had no major issues arise from their special status in Florida, and the only reason he's going after them isn't because he wants to level the playing field, it's because they had the guts to stand up to him and his hateful policies, so he's trying to be seen as "tough" on big corporations to bolster his chances in the presidential election.
Broccoli. Broccoli is one of this foods that seems universally hated by kids, but whether it's the little tiny ones you get in your food at Asian restaurants or broccoli and cheese dipped in the drippings off my steak at Applebee's, I'm getting a taste for it if it's prepared right.
Reddit went through some issues for many on Monday, with the outage happening the same day as thousands of subreddits going dark to protest the site’s new API pricing terms....
Exactly. If people want this protest to be taken seriously, they shouldn't have pre-emptively announced it would only be 48 hours long. 48 hours is nothing to worry about when you know it's coming. Like you said, they'll just blame the lack of engagement on server issues.

Which cutscene is and will forever be burned into your memory?

I've been playing Crisis Core Reunion on my Steam Deck and I'm loving it. I never played the original PSP release so this has been a great experience for me. Both of the FF7 remakes have been amazing.

Did you ever have a classmate that pretended to be a vampire or some other supernatural creature? How much did they commit to it?

Pt.2 of the Kbird mascot. Thoughts on these two designs?
Again, based on @FixedFun 's original designs so creds to them for the idea....
Can a rich person be a good person?
I don't mean doctor-making-150k-a-year rich, I mean properly rich with millions to billions of dollars....

“Gender affirming care” was replaced with “sex change” or “sex reassignment” in at least 19 articles.
