It's entirely the fault of AI tech bros and memory foundries selling all their capacity for the next X years to them.

Valve has said they don't subsidise the cost of hardware by selling at a loss the way that console makers do. For consoles, it's a loss leader to get people committed to a walled garden where they can only buy from that store front. It's the Costco hotdog.

Poor guy lol.

Pre-ordering a remake that costs the same as the original released 13 years ago, with Denuvo, is ridiculous. The AAA industry is so fucking dumb.

I just want a "fewest turns" option. I'll drive an extra 2 minutes of it means taking main roads and a single turn, versus zigzagging through side roads and subdivisions.

Normally I just use VH brand Spicy Thai Chili sauce. I've never actually made chili sauce from scratch.

It's basically a cheeseburger with fluff and spicy chili sauce. It's absolutely fantastic 🤤

LOVE me a fluffernutter. I made a Fluff Screamer once and the sweet and spicy combo was amazing

You can't really apply that kind of hard science to a fantasy medium. Superman is an alien powered by the sun, that's the entire explanation for his power set. The Flash doesn't burn calories to run fast, his abilities come from The Speed Force, basically an extra-dimensional energy field. Mutants literally have mutations that give them their abilities.

A lot of this sort of thing is just hand waved. Even Batman who is completely human and relies on physical training and technology, would dislocate his arms swinging around on grappling hooks.

I think for most people the interesting parts of comics are the character interactions and stories, not rigorous scientific explanation of how heat vision works.

Boomers in my city voted against taking a lane from a busy road and building a light rail line, and instead decided to spend 4+ years taking a lane from the same road to build an express bus lane. Which is better than nothing, I guess, except way less capacity than a couple train cars, and the original proposal was for a protected transit corridor so the light rail could just blast through. Estimates for the bus lane are like another 2 years for completion and it's already over budget. A bunch of businesses in the area closed down because work has taken so long.

Oh my sweet summer child.

Sunshine City in Ikebukuro has one of the largest gashapon arcades in existence.

There's a free projection show at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in Shinjuku. It was a lot of fun. When I was there last they were doing Godzilla, Gundam , and Blue Lock. They project the video right onto the government building. There's also a free viewing platform.
